History[edit]
Super Mario 64 /Super Mario 64 DS[edit]
InSuper Mario 64 andSuper Mario 64 DS, a single Fwoosh can blowMario andhis cap offTall, Tall Mountain. The mountain wall after it is a portal to a secretslide. 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 aBoo. 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, butWario can walk right past it with hismetal ability.Yoshi also has the ability to eat the Fwoosh and defeat it byspewing fire at it. InSuper Mario 64 DS, the Fwoosh can also be defeated by walking into it while affected by amushroom.
