Bone Twisters,[1] also known as Tweesters,[2] are enemies in Super Mario Galaxy. These tornado-like creatures possess eyes and have debris spinning inside them, such as skulls and bones. Touching a Bone Twister causes it to spin around, and if the player then spins using the Wii Remote, the Bone Twister makes Mario or Luigi go flying into the air and spins his arms around very quickly like a helicopter. Two Bone Twisters have spiked debris spinning around them, which damage Mario or Luigi if he makes contact with them. Bone Twisters can sometimes help the player character traverse obstacles. They appear only in the Dusty Dune Galaxy in the missions Blasting through the Sand and Purple Coins in the Desert.
