“*** Waterspout *** Seafloor volcanic activity causes heated water to erupt and stream to the surface. Open your arms wide and let the water hit you to be blasted up high.”
Sign, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga

Waterspouts appear as objects in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions. They are swirling vortexes of water that are formed due to underground volcanic activity. They appear only in Oho Ocean. They act as underwater counterparts to whirlwinds, though instead of sending Mario and Luigi straight forward, these send them high up if they enter them with a Spin Jump, slowly descending downwards afterwards. As soon as they enter a waterspout, they are immediately launched out, unlike whirlwinds, which trap the Mario Bros. inside them until the player inputs a direction on +Control Pad.

Rising air is a similar object that appears in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey, and Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. Rising air still works with the Spin Jump, and in the former two games, rising air also works with the Balloon Jump.
