Mario Tornado
It has been requested that this article be rewritten and expanded to include more information.
Mario Tornado is is a special move that Mario can use as an aerial attack. After pressing B and tilting the control stick down position, Mario would spin around, draw the foe in, spin them silly, and then launch them out, damaging opponents, in a similar fashion to Luigi's Luigi Cyclone. The move is powerful, but is best used when surrounded by opponents. Mario Tornado, unlike Luigi Cyclone, cannot move very far. By repeatedly tapping the B Button, Mario will also move vertically while using the attack.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Mario Tornado instead has F.L.U.D.D. as his down special. However, Mario Tornado is still one of his normal attacks, but is executed by pressing Down A in mid-air. As Mario Tornado is in his down aerial attack, he can no longer perform the rising tornado technique, making his recovery worse (although his Super Jump Punch has gained distance).
It is possible that this move is based on the Spin Jump attack from Super Mario World.
