'''Wind''' appears in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] most commonly as an obstacle, and while wind itself cannot hurt the player, it can blow them into an enemy or a [[pit]].
==History==
===''Golf'' / ''Mario Golf'' series===
Wind is a factor to consider when planning shots in ''[[Golf (series)|Golf]]'' and ''[[Mario Golf (series)|Mario Golf]]'' games, similarly to real-world golf. Its speed and direction influences where the ball will land.

===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels''====

Wind<ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario All-Stars'' Nintendo Player's Guide|page=48|date=1993|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' is represented by floating leaves, and while dangerous at times, is needed to clear a few gaps in some levels. Some of these gaps are so big that crossing them requires the player to use a combination of [[trampoline]]s, wind, and bouncing off of one or more enemies. Wind is not present in the ''[[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]]'' versions of the levels, requiring changes to some of them.

====''Super Mario 64'' / ''Super Mario 64 DS''====
Wind in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and its [[Super Mario 64 DS|DS remake]] appears in courses such as [[Cool, Cool Mountain]]; [[Tall, Tall Mountain]]; [[Tiny-Huge Island]]; and the DS-exclusive [[Chief Chilly Challenge]], there are upward gusts of wind that can carry the player over a gap. Horizontal wind also appears in a few of these areas and a few more, such as [[Snowman's Land]] and [[Rainbow Ride]], and can push the player into a gap or other obstacle instead. In addition, a cloud enemy called [[Fwoosh]] guards the entrance to the [[Slide (Super Mario 64)|slide]] on Tall, Tall Mountain; it will attempt to blow the player away as they cross. These gusts of wind, as well as those of the Snowman's Land snowman, can also blow the character's [[cap]] away. A wind gust in Chief Chilly Challenge can only be passed by [[Metal Mario|Metal Wario]] due to its strength.

Wii]]'' appears only in [[World 2-4 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 2-4]], where it can blow [[coin]]s around the level, and can be noticed by the sand that it carries along the way. Enemies in the level will turn against the wind when it comes and won't move until it goes away. It can also push the player right, though Mario can [[crouch]] to stand still. Like in ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'', it is needed to reach certain parts of the level, mainly one of the [[Star Coin]]s and the [[Goal Pole (secret)|hidden goal]].

====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
Wind in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' is blown by windmills in [[Honeybloom Galaxy]], [[Cloudy Court Galaxy]], and [[Grandmaster Galaxy]]. The clouds created by [[Cloud Mario]] can be carried by the gust, thus reaching far away locations.

====''Super Mario 3D World''====
[[File:SM3DW Ty-Foo Flurries.png|thumb|Three [[Ty-foo]]s blowing wind in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]].]]
Wind in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' is blown by the [[Ty-foo]] enemies in the levels [[Ty-Foo Flurries]] and [[Gigantic Seasick Wreck]], with a small gust of wind appearing in the former level, being blown under an abyss that contains a [[Green Star]].

====''Super Mario Odyssey''====
Wind in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' can appear in gusts capable of sending Mario high into the air. A hidden area found post-game in the [[Cascade Kingdom]] has wind that blows intermittently, which can push Mario off the ground. Mario can throw [[Cappy]] at this wind, which will blow Cappy in the direction the wind is facing, and is used to activate [[Lever Switch]]es that would normally be unreachable. Ty-foos also reappear, and can be [[capture]]d in order to blow away enemies and certain platforms.

====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
Wind in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'' blows in the desert theme at night, functioning mostly how it does in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', except that it can change its direction and frequency depending on the game style.

===''Donkey Kong'' (Game Boy)===
Wind in the [[Game Boy]] version of ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]'' appears in stages [[Stage 6-6|6-6]], [[Stage 8-10|8-10]], [[Stage 8-16|8-16]], and [[Stage 9-8|9-8]], where they blow Mario left or right slightly based on the direction the clouds in the background are moving.

===''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''===
Wind<ref>{{cite|author=Shinoda, Paul, Kent Miller|title=''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' [[Nintendo]] Player's Guide|date=1995|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|page=92}}</ref> in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' is a gameplay mechanic represented by blowing leaves and is in a few courses. In [[Gusty Glade (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Gusty Glade]], it is used to jump over long holes or hinder the player by blowing them into unwanted directions. In [[Windy Well (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Windy Well]], the wind blows upward and lifts the Kongs to high platforms. In [[Animal Antics (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Animal Antics]], wind appears in the [[Squawks the Parrot|Squawks]] and [[Squitter the Spider|Squitter]] portions.

===''Mario Party'' series===
Wind in the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]] is an obstacle appearing in some [[minigame]]s. In [[Tightrope Treachery]] in ''[[Mario Party]]'' and [[Rainbow Run (minigame)|Rainbow Run]] in ''[[Mario Party 2]]'', the player can lose balance from strong winds. Wind appears in the ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'' minigame [[Forest Jump]]. In ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', wind acts as an obstacle in the minigame [[Treacherous Tightrope]].

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Wind}}
[[File:Greengreens.jpg|thumb|left|Whispy Woods blowing wind in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''.]]
Wind is a generic stage hazard in at least one stage in every ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' game. In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', wind is blown by [[Whispy Woods]] on the games' respective [[Dream Land (Super Smash Bros.)|Dream Land]] and [[Green Greens]] stages, and putting fighters at risk of being blown off of the stage. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', wind will sometimes blow wind upwards on [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], causing it to take longer to get down, and [[PictoChat]] sometimes has drawn wind blown to the left, having the effect of wind. Wind also appears in the returning Green Greens stage in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', wind occurs in the [[Paper Mario (stage)|Paper Mario stage]] when the [[Fan]] appears, blowing fighters to the right, and wind can also occur in [[PictoChat 2]]. Dream Land returned as a downloadable stage in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'', so wind also appears in those games. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', wind appears in various returning stages, including Dream Land, Green Greens, and PictoChat.

In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', wind appears on some levels in [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|The Subspace Emissary]], such as [[The Wilds]], [[The Swamp]], The [[Battleship Halberd Exterior]] and [[The Glacial Peak]]. It blows like normal wind to the side, but it also blows upward in the swamp. The [[smashwiki:Borboras|Borboras]] also blow wind. [[Ridley]] can produce wind from his wings during his boss fight.

In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', certain [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] battles (e.g. [[Raccoon Mario|Fox Luigi]]) have wind blowing either periodically or constantly. Some spirits can make a fighter partly or completely immune to wind.

===''Yoshi Touch & Go''===
Wind in ''[[Yoshi Touch & Go]]'' can blow randomly in some areas, and can be produced by blowing into the microphone. It can cause all the created platforms to disappear.

===''Super Princess Peach''===
Wind in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'' serves as a hindrance which stops the player from using the [[Joy (vibe)|Joy]] [[vibe]] to fly up to various areas of a level, as the player may be able to skip parts of a level or access secret areas with the ability.

===''Yoshi's Island DS''===
[[File:YIDSBabyPeachParasol.png|thumb|Baby Peach using her parasol to catch wind.]]
Wind in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'' is featured as upward vertical columns, but [[Baby Peach]] can use her parasol to catch the currents that take her and Yoshi to higher platforms.

===''Paper Mario'' series===

Wind in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' exists near the end of [[The Dotwood Tree|Chapter 3-3]], and the player can ride the red wind to the [[Warp Pipe]] at the end to finish the chapter.

====''Paper Mario: Color Splash''====
Wind in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'' blows Mario and [[Huey]] into a giant hole that the Paint Star repainted when they go to [[Mustard Café]] after saving the purple [[Big Paint Star]].

===''Mario Kart'' series===
====''Mario Kart 7''====
Wind in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' is often blown out of [[Warp Pipe|pipe]]s and can push the player around, in courses such as [[3DS Mario Circuit|Mario Circuit]] and [[3DS Rock Rock Mountain|Rock Rock Mountain]], and it can also be used for the elevation of a glider, such as that blown by [[Koopa Clown Car]]s in [[Wuhu Loop]] and [[3DS Neo Bowser City|Neo Bowser City]]. The [[Screaming Pillar]]s in [[3DS DK Jungle|DK Jungle]] blow wind that pushes the player back. [[Current]]s in courses such as [[3DS Wario Shipyard|Wario Shipyard]] function similarly to wind.

====''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''====
Wind reappears in {{classic|3DS|Neo Bowser City}} in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' and in {{classic-link|DS|Shroom Ridge}}, [[Ninja Hideaway]], {{classic-link|3DS|Rock Rock Mountain}}, and {{classic-link|Tour|Singapore Speedway}} in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' for the latter game. In {{classic|DS|Shroom Ridge}}, wind acts as a shortcut near the end of the track, and like in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', tricks can be performed by driving over wind.

====''Mario Kart Tour''====
[[File:MKT Tour13 WarioCupChallenge.png|thumb|left|Wind propellers in [[SNES Mario Circuit 1]]'s Glider Challenge]]
Wind in ''Mario Kart Tour'' appears in the returning courses Rock Rock Mountain and Neo Bowser City, and is usually added to trick and reverse/trick variants of courses, such as [[DS DK Pass|DS DK Pass R/T]]. When driven over, it grants a [[Jump Boost]]. Wind also usually appears in [[Precision Gliding]] and [[Glider Challenge]]s, and it is usually created by pipes and propellers. It is also created by the fans and bamboo in Ninja Hideaway. Propellers emitting wind can also appear up and down in this game, with downwards wind being used to cause the player to drop down.

In some courses or variants such as [[Vancouver Velocity 2|Vancouver Velocity 2R/T]], wind is used in the {{wp|Stanley Park}} section to allow the player to perform Jump Boosts.

===''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''===
Strong gusts of wind appear near the top of [[Mount Pajamaja]] and in [[Somnom Woods]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', which push [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] in its direction while they are using [[Spin Jump (Mario & Luigi series)|Spin Jump]].
