Zephere

The Zephere (a.k.a Gust Sphere, Gush Sphere) is an unusual power-up that appeared in Super Mario Land 3: The 7 Power Switches, Luigi's Star Frenzy and other games. When touched, it allows the players to use air moves or gust moves to save the character.
==History==
Little known can be found about the history itself.It was once thought it was a combination of Super Leaf and P-Wing in Super Mario Land 3: The 7 Power Switches, but the history changes as the new games game and new theories came. It still wasn't true to what was the true history of the item, even by scientists of Mushroom Kingdom.
==Overall History Changes==
===Super Mario Land 3 - The 7 Power Switches===
Unusual combination of Super Leaf and P-Wing
===Mario World Revenge===
A lost sphere found in a canyon full of glass, rare to the explorers and tourists alike. They say it is a beautiful view.
===Luigi's Star Frenzy===
It is a creation made by Bowser in Sarasaland using the glass sphere and super leafs, found in Peach's private tree garden. Full of energetic wind leafs only to be found when wind is happening.
===Super Mario Brother Trouble===
They say it is not specific and will not be known forever.
===Newer Super Mario Bros Switch===
They say it is an unusual mixture, frozen in the microwave for some odd reasons. The old paper in Modern Island says that it was made from Boo's breath, Chain Chomp's chain and Super Leaf. They were prepared in Witch's Mansion in a cauldron with a bit of spice. The power hidden in this sphere was a mistake and it should be forgotten for days. Because of this, it was buried for a thousand years until a certain "hero maybe" found it and absorbed the power of gust and wind.
The first game to include this power up is Super Mario Land 3: The 7 Power Switches, along with the Tornado needle, Liquid Sparky|Liquid Spark Spook|Liquid Bubble and Gravity Donut.
==Overview==
This power-up has a spherical glass reminiscent from real life glass that is shaded to be darker. Its look isn't really simplified but has certain details. Because of the power of it, there were brown super leafs inside, circling inside the sphere to make wind from the sphere. The leaves also aren't very detailed and are really simple.
==Abilities==
If Mario has the Zephere effect, he can use two abilities packed into this power. The first one is called Air Tension. When activated, Mario is allowed to rise upwards exponentially to survive from falling down into pits and find neat secrets. This is rather useful, since the design in previously told games aren't beginner friendly.
The second ability is Drone Hover. The ability allows Mario to glide inside air and get fast while doing it. He falls slowly, but doesn't work like the cape ability. It is simply for more safer travel under an area and longer jumps with passion.
=Appearances=
==In video games==
===Super Mario Land 3 - The 7 Power Switches===
The Sphere made its first real game appearance in Super Mario Land 3 - The 7 Power Switches.
===Mario World Revenge===
In Mario World Revenge, it showed as an item that only Mario, Luigi, Waluigi and Wario could use to transform them into their Zephere forms. One of these spheres would appear if one of those mentioned touched a Zephere. If Peach or Daisy touched one of those spheres, it will shatter into pieces and leaves will fly away.
===Luigi's Star Frenzy===
In Luigi's Star Frenzy, the item is very important to defeat Dark Star, gust variants of enemies and 3 bosses of the game: Fanser Jr., Leaf Thwomp and Shrimp Devil!
===Super Mario Brother Trouble===
In Super Mario Brother Trouble, the Zephere is an item that allows the Playable Character to use abilites mentioned previously. It's a very rare item. Special potions, temperature and wind speed can also boost the powers of Lightning Mario, Luigi, Wario, & Waluigi.
===Newer Super Mario Bros Switch===
In Newer Super Mario Bros Switch, the power-up reappeared as a exclusive power-up for Mario and Wario. If the player collected enough Gust crowns, Mario and Wario could use new abilities that would let them progress further into the game as well as break colored glass containing a specific Air Shard and blocked off access into secret areas.
==In other media==
===Super Mario Cosmic Danger===
This can be mentioned at the page 34 from 100 picked. The certain page shows a shiny chest containing that sphere. However it was a trap and Mario falls into a cosmic abyss.
===Star of the Platformer===
This can be only seen and not mentioned. It appears in a certain scene where Mario warns to Daisy about how Luigi is trying to kill Yoshis by himself.
