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. Wind occurs in Worlds [[World 5-1 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|5-1]], [[World 6-1 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|6-1]], [[World 7-1 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|7-1]], [[World 7-3 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|7-3]], [[World 8-1 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|8-1]], [[World A-3|A-3]], [[World C-3|C-3]], [[World D-1|D-1]], and [[World D-4|D-4]]. | |||

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. | |||

Wind appears in the 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[edit]
Mario Golf series[edit]
Wind is a factor to consider when planning shots in Mario Golf games, similarly to real-world golf. Its speed and direction influences where the ball will land.
Super Mario series[edit]
Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels[edit]
Wind[1] 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 trampolines, 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. Wind occurs in Worlds 5-1, 6-1, 7-1, 7-3, 8-1, A-3, C-3, D-1, and D-4.
Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS[edit]
Wind in Super Mario 64 and its 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 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 Wario due to its strength.
Super Mario Galaxy[edit]
Wind[2] in Super Mario Galaxy is featured in the Gusty Garden Galaxy. Here, the player must ride Floaty Fluffs to cross large, windy gaps.
New Super Mario Bros. Wii[edit]
Wind[3] in New Super Mario Bros. Wii appears only in World 2-4, where it can blow coins 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 Coins and the hidden goal.
Super Mario Galaxy 2[edit]
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[edit]
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[edit]
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 Switches that would normally be unreachable. Ty-foos also reappear, and can be captured in order to blow away enemies and certain platforms.
Super Mario Maker 2[edit]
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)[edit]
Wind in the Game Boy version of Donkey Kong appears in stages 6-6, 8-10, 8-16, and 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[edit]
Wind[4] 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, it is used to jump over long holes or hinder the player by blowing them into unwanted directions. In Windy Well, the wind blows upward and lifts the Kongs to high platforms. In Animal Antics, wind appears in the Squawks and Squitter portions.
Mario Party series[edit]
Wind in the Mario Party series is an obstacle appearing in some minigames. In Tightrope Treachery in Mario Party and 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[edit]
- SmashWiki article: Wind
Wind is a generic stage hazard in at least one stage in every 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 and Green Greens stages, and putting fighters at risk of being blown off of the stage. In Super Smash Bros.

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 when the Fan appears, blowing fighters to the right, and wind can also occur in PictoChat 2.
