Spooky Forest

In the February 2019 announcement trailer for Super Mario Maker 2, the Twisters in the Super Mario World game style resembled the Foo enemies from New Super Mario Bros. Wii, instead of their minimalist circular design from the finished game.

Below is a recreation of the pre-release design and spinning animation, which can be reasonably assumed to be completely accurate due to the high resolution of the trailer allowing the pixels to be reproduced clearly.

Traditionally, folkloric trolls are unhelpful/antagonistic supernatural entities with a habit of becoming recognizable local landmarks after they get turned to stone. They're basically a Norse-only folktale concept so they cover a lot less ground than dragons, which are pretty much global. In the greater fantasy zeitgeist they've lost some of their already-limited specificity, sometimes allowed to retain their magical powers but frequently just being framed as large dangerous monsters with an optional healing factor.
