Tall, Tall Mountain Fwoosh
A Fwoosh preparing to blow Mario from the mountaintop in Super Mario 64

In Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS, a single Fwoosh can blow Mario and his cap off Tall, Tall Mountain. The mountain wall after it is a portal to a secret slide. The original version depicts the Fwoosh with a partially transparent body, large eyebrows, closed eyes, and a feline-shaped mouth with a happy expression, while the remake gives it a solid, angrier appearance vaguely resembling a Boo. In addition, the DS remake grants the Fwoosh the ability to turn around in order to always face the character.

Mario cannot defeat the Fwoosh, but Wario can walk right past it with his metal ability. Yoshi also has the ability to eat the Fwoosh and defeat it by spewing fire at it. In Super Mario 64 DS, the Fwoosh can also be defeated by walking into it while affected by a mushroom.

A Fwoosh appears while Mario, Yoshi, and the Bob-omb Buddy ride on a magic carpet in Rainbow Ride in volume 16 of Super Mario-kun. The Fwoosh blows Mario's hat away, and it lands on a Big Boo.
