While unique to ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Smash Bros.]]'', it is similar to how [[supermariowiki:Koopa Troopa|Koopas]] retreat into their shells when jumped on in the [[Mario (universe)|''Super Mario'' series]] which, can be held and thrown or kicked by the {{s|supermariowiki|Mario}} [[supermariowiki:Luigi|Bros.]] as a spinning attack. In ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Bros. 3}}'', when the player jumps on any of the [[Koopalings]], they will fly in the air inside their shell.

Despite the above, Bowser himself never used this move, and in fact was never seen retreating into his shell in any Nintendo-developed game prior to the move's debut in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. Like the [[Egg Roll]] and [[Green Missile]], however, the move's concept later led back into the Nintendo-affiliated ''Mario'' series starting with an appearance as Bowser's defensive power shot in ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Power Tennis}}'', and Bowser also has used the move in ''{{s|mariowiki|New Super Mario Bros U}}''. In ''{{s|supermariowiki|Super Paper Mario}}'', Bowser performs a similar move in one of his {{s|supermariowiki|Stylish Move}} animations. In ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle}}'', Bowser (as {{s|mariowiki|MegaDragonBowser}}) uses the Whirling Fortress during the final phase of the final boss fight. | Despite the above, Bowser himself never used this move, and in fact was never seen retreating into his shell in any Nintendo-developed game prior to the move's debut in ''Super Smash Bros.
