Whirling Fortress in Brawl.
Whirling Fortress is a move that can only be used by Bowser in Super Smash Bros. Melee. Bowser activates this move when a player presses Up+B. Bowser hides inside his shell, and spins around with it in the air. If it hits any of the other players, they take a relatively large amount of damage, depending on how long they are in contact with the spinning shell. The attack is a very useful move, as it acts as Bowser's third jump, and it does mass damage to the opponents if it hits. The attack can also be used on the ground, instead of just in the air. The attack returns in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
If the player pauses while Bowser is using the attack, and zooms in on the front of his shell, they can see Bowser's eyes inside the shell.
