Super Mario Odyssey[edit]
InSuper Mario Odyssey, Ty-foos are enemies in theSnow Kingdom, where they wear Santa hats.Mario cancapture them withCappy, but only after first knocking off the hat. Ty-foo float in place, swapping between staying idle and blowing wind. Some of them rotate as they blow. Their wind pushes Mario, enemies, and certain platforms, as well Cappy while he is acting independently of Mario. Jumping on a Ty-foo is ineffective. When Mario captures a Ty-foo, he can use those their powerful Exhale for his own purposes with
or
. Shaking theJoy-Con causes Mario to blow harder. While blowing, Mario is unable to move but can rotate, even if the Ty-foo he captured does not rotate normally. Ty-foo are unable to change elevation, a trait that can let Mario float across gaps but also hinder him if a Ty-foo is contained with a small space or is not at the correct elevation for a given task. (Technically Ty-foo can move into slopes to get pushed up but they cannot get far and they slide back to their set elevation once movement stops.)
