Editing Wind

===''Mario Golf'' series===

Wind is a factor to consider when planning shots in ''[[Mario Golf (series)|Mario Golf]]'' games, similarly to real-world golf. Its speed and direction influences where the ball will land.

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 will not 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]].

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 & Luigi: Dream Team''====

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', both [[Mount Pajamaja]] and [[Somnom Woods]] have strong gusts of wind. Wind occasionally blows through areas near the top of Mount Pajamaja, and propeller devices in Somnom Woods create wind. Characters standing in the path of wind while preparing to use a [[Spin Jump (Mario & Luigi series)|Spin Jump]] are gradually pushed away. Using a Spin Jump while exposed to wind causes characters to lose direct control while being blown in the wind's direction. Spin Jumps affected by wind do not end until the characters hit an obstacle.

 

====''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''====

Strong gusts of wind appear during the [[Cannonball Chuck]] challenge in the [[Attackathon]], being able to push Luigi in the direction they flow, making it harder for him to hit the score balloons and avoid obstacles. They appear on their own on the third throw, and with [[Parabomb]]s on the fourth and fifth throws.

 

In {{a|YWW|l}} and its remake {{a|P&YWW|l}}, wind appears in sections featuring [[Umbrella Yoshi]]. Wind pushes Umbrella Yoshi and certain enemies like [[Shy Guy]]s and [[Fly Guy]]s around. Umbrella Yoshi can fly faster by moving with the wind. While Umbrella Yoshi cannot move against wind while its umbrella is open, it can while its umbrella is closed. Thus, using both states of Umbrella Yoshi is key to maneuvering effectively. Umbrella Yoshi appears in [[Bounceabout Woods]] and [[Snag-Stitch Mountain]], though the former only has wind that blows upward. The latter has winds that can blow in multiple directions. In some cases, this creates loops that are hard to escape from with an open umbrella. The final part of the Umbrella Yoshi section has wind blowing in a spiral that goes through the background and back. This spiral also blows around Umbrella Yoshi with a closed umbrella, so it cannot be left once entered. Yoshi has to fly up this spiral to reach the goal. As Yoshi goes up, the lower part of the screen becomes a [[pit]].

 

[[Miss Cluck the Insincere]], the boss of {{id|World 3|YWW}}'s [[Miss Cluck the Insincere's Castle]], has attacks where she spins to cause wind to blow across the arena. This can push Yoshi into the pits on both sides of the platform. It also blows [[Spike Ball]]s that fall from the sky during the attack, which makes it more difficult to endure the wind by running on the ground.
