Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit
Twisters later reappear in Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit as obstacles in Tornado Tundra and in the Blizzard environment, where they slow down racers that make contact with them. They retain their design from the New Super Mario Bros. U style of Super Mario Maker 2.

Trivia
- In some early trailer footage of Super Mario Maker 2, the white part of Twister had a cloudy appearance resembling a Foo with elements of Ty-foo's design.[1] This resemblance was closer in the New Super Mario Bros. U style, where they lacked the blue cheeks and had pink lips.[2] This design seems to have been entirely overwritten, as it is not present in the final game's data.[3]
- This is the only unique entity which debuted in the Super Mario Maker games to make an appearance outside of them to date.
