(While you're on this page, listen to You Spin Me Round. It will make the page even better. Why? Because spinning, that's why.)
Presumably, this trope is the case because fast-moving things are generally better than slow moving things, and circular motion allows something to accomplish this while actually remaining on-screen.
This trope shows off the awesome power of spinning things at high speeds, or flying around in a circle. In skilled hands, this ability can be used to create tornadoes or even bend the space-time continuum. It's also a good trick.
Spinning makes pretty much everything cooler, so these are just a handful of the subtropes heavily affected:

WipEout: If you do a barrel roll during a jump, you gain a massive speed burst that drains a considerable amount of shield energy. Since you're already high up in the air, it's quite likely to shoot you right off the track into buildings or over the railings of bridges.

From the Depths:
Railgun magnets will spin around advanced cannon barrels to indicate their charge level; static is uncharged, while they turn into a blur at maximum charge.
Twin Guard vessels often mount their Deflector Shields projectors on rotating sections. This greatly increases the craft's durability as if a shield is brought down, a new shield rotates to take its place
A number of White Flayers craft are nothing but spinning sawblades with engines. Ramming Always Works.
CRAM cannon barrels will retract and spin when reloading.

Tequila's ultimate Tequila Bomb attack in the John Woo game Stranglehold has him spinning around in slow-mo with guns in hand, arms outstretched like an angel of death (if you're using Guns Akimbo, that is), and blasting the hell out of every bad guy in the general vicinity. And to top it off, we get the doves flying in slow-mo along with this.

Abraxas (Hrodvitnon): Some of the Titans pull this off during the fic when battling. Rodan, like in canon, is fond of performing twirling aerial maneuvres like the aileron roll. Monster X at one point performs a Human Hammer-Throw when one of its heads gets its jaws on the tail of one of the Many's Mind Hives. And Keizer Ghidorah at one point manages to knock Rodan out of the air with a dual Tail Slap whilst the former is spinning.

Spinning-based attacks occasionally turn up in the Digimon franchise, most prominently in Digimon Frontier, where all of the Dark Legendary Warriors except Duskmon have some sort of spinning attack, and several of the good legendary warriors have spinning attacks too. Calmaramon subverts this trope when her spinning attack is entirely unusable, because it causes her to lose control of her beast spirit.
Additionally, spinning at various speeds was a staple of the evolution sequences of Digimon Adventure and Digimon Adventure 02; later series pretty much phased this out, but it's back (albeit briefly) for OmegaShoutmon in Digimon Fusion.

Ranma ½ has Ranma's "Hiryû Shoten Ha" (where Ranma needs to lure his enemies into a spiral in order to blast them with a tornado) and Ryû Kumon's "Demon Gods' Mad Violent Dance" (where he spins around at high speed while at the same time unleashing a rapid-fire barrage of vacuum blades in all directions). Let's not forget several attacks from the Golden Pair, and a few of Ranma's practice katas.

Monster Hunter:
Hammer users in the games have a spinning hammer attack available to them. It looks cool, but since it's actually a botched version of the charged hammer stomp, there are usually better attack options.
Monster Hunter Portable 3rd: Duramboros attacks primarily by spinning its tail around the rest of its body to perform a skyward launch and try to stomp the hunters. It's a very powerful attack (a layer with little health can faint easily due to this attack), but it leads to Duramboros needing a brief cooldown period before being able to stand up to reaume attacking. During this period, the hunter can proceed to attack the monster without risk. The monster's desert-dwelling subspecies in 3 Ultimate (Rust Duramboros) can do this as well.

In Fire Emblem most Critical Hit animations have the character spin their weapon before attacking. Heroes and a few other classes will mix spinning with thrown swords, where the weapon spins in mid-air before they drop it on the opponent. This is pretty much the basis of Ike's Aether skill.
The Berserker is just as likely to spin himself for his critical animation (Female Path of Radiance Swordmasters do a Shoryuken style spinning sword uppercut for a critical). Both of these look really cool.
And then there's the Warrior's axe-critical from the GBA games. Judging from the fact they basically turn into a tornado, they're apparently part Tasmanian Devil.
The Bride DLC class from Awakening is all but incapable of doing anything without spinning.

Awesome moment was Blendo (built by Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman), which had a spinning dome with blades around the outside. It wasn't against the rules, but the chunks it ripped off of its opponents were a danger to the audience, so the organizers had to declare Blendo a "co-winner" to eliminate it.

Looney Tunes: The Tasmanian Devil. He eats... and spins... and eats and spins and eats! Of course, the same goes with Dizzy Devil from Tiny Toon Adventures.
Babs Bunny from Tiny Toon Adventures will frequently spin to change into a costume. In the episode, "Two-Tone Town", she tries to demonstrate this technique to older cartoon character, Goopy Geer, but he can't quite get it right (the first time he tries, he ends up naked), until the very end.

Tales Series:
The swordsman's technique Tempest. The swordsman makes a rolling leap through the air, twirling their sword around like a giant human rotary saw. Ruca, the main character of Tales of Innocence, can keep an enemy in the air for several seconds by chaining together Tempest, its enhanced version, and the burning version, Fire Tempest. The combo is both effective and awesome. It can also be used for flight in games with a battle mechanic that allows it to be spammed.
Tales of Symphonia gives us Presea, who wields a large ax that can be at least as large as she is. Most of her techniques involve at least one good full spin of the ax, but her advanced punishment techniques send her spinning like a top. Colette has a few attacks involving her spinning while holding out her twin chakrams. Finally, Regal is a kick-based fighter with a wide range of horizontal and vertical spins, including the Crescent attacks, which make him do vertical spin kicks that cut.
For another example that Western gamers can recognize, Yuri of Tales of Vesperia is a big damn showoff, as he cannot go one battle without his weapon spinning in one way or another. A lot of his animations involve him twirling the weapon around for no reason, notably the end of his physical combo. On top of that, his most popular arte is easily Shining Fang, which has him spinning his weapon vertically and is a crucial part of his infinite combo.
Same game, enemy example: Nan does a fair amount of spinning, but her Mystic Arte turns it up to 11.
Karol has multiple flavors of spinning attacks like the aforementioned Fire Tempest (Vertical spinning), Roaring Revolution (Rolling forward), and Ultra Punishing Swing and its variations (Horizontal spinning). The most notable of the latter would have to be his Ultra Punishing Storm, that makes him spin fast enough to create a tornado and fly into the air.
One of Kunzite's best moves in Tales of Hearts is the Kuuhasenmeidan, where he dives headfirst into the enemy with all four of his blades pointed forward and spinning like a drill. Overlaps, of course, with the one about drills (it's even in the move name).
Eleanor from Tales of Berseria spins her spear one-handed for almost all of her artes including her third mystic arte.

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is the ultimate example — if Heroic Resolve is forced into physical form, it becomes a drill. In fact, this is formulated as "Spiral Power," and is stated to be the reason for everything from why a gyroscope becomes more stable while spinning, to the process of evolution (DNA is helix-shaped).
General Guame the Immovable takes this to the logical extent; he powers both his personal mech, the Gember, and his flagship, the Impregnable Fortress Dai-Gundo, by rolling into a ball and spinning in place (He's an armadillo evolved into humanoid form through sheer willpower). His last words: "Round and round, are you watching this transpire your majesty? Your humble servant Guame is still spinning!"

At level 30, Barbarians in Diablo II gain access to the Whirlwind attack. The in-game description of "Whirling dance of death" is sufficient enough to describe what that move is and does.

Naruto's signature Rasengan attack, Neji's Kaiten, Lee's Leaf Whirlwind, Kiba's Wolf-Fang Over Fang and Kakashi's Kamui. Uzumaki means whirlpool, Naruto means Maelstrom, the Uzumaki clan symbol is a spiral. The symbol of Hidden Leaf has a spiral included. Tobi's mask has a spiral pattern. Killer Bee, when he wields all seven of his swords, attacks by spinning around in bizarre and unpredictable fashion.

Steel Ball Run: The concept of spinning itself becomes a supernatural power, capable of doing things that it has no right doing, similar to the Ripple concept in Part 1 and 2. Gyro Zeppeli is a master of the Spin, and he teaches the Spin to The Protagonist, Johnny Joestar. The Spin is explained as being accomplished by spinning a spherical object at a frequency modeled after a Golden Spiral. This unlocks the secret powers of Gravity itself, which is the only force in the universe more powerful than fate. Reaching the Perfect Spin (which requires extremely specific circumstances) unlocks an Unblockable Attack, because the projectile will turn into a perpetual motion device powered by gravity, and thus holds potentially infinite energy.

Kirby:
Kirby's Tornado copy ability basically makes him spin around like... well... a Tornado. Whilst it can be difficult to use, when used correctly, it can even take out Final Bosses without any trouble whatsoever or the use of whatever Ultimate Weapon Kirby is often forced to use at this point. Example — Dark Nebula in Kirby: Squeak Squad. In the Kirby's Dream Land games, having the Animal Friend, Coo, and the Parasol copy ability would have you spinning around like crazy too.
In Kirby & the Amazing Mirror, when the Master, Meta Knight's very own sword in this game, ability is obtained, his attack whilst dashing makes his sword into a drill with which he flies horizontally across the level, just like Meta Knight does in Brawl. (except Kirby can't change direction)
The Sword and Hammer abilities also do this. Kirby's attack whilst dashing with the Hammer has him spin horizontally and with both Hammer and Sword, attacking whilst in the air makes Kirby spin around. (Sometimes, the spinning maneuver is given to the Cutter power instead.)
Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards gives one of the more amusing applications of spinning as a deadly attack: the Ice + Cutter ability turns Kirby into an olympic-level skater, whose quadruple axles kill on contact.

In Tekken Chinmi, one of Chinmi's teachers is a practitioner of Whirlwind Fist kung fu, which revolves around the martial artist spinning rapidly in place at high speed, giving them incredible skills at deflecting blows and striking in retaliation. Chinmi eventually likens the style to a spinning top, then realizes that the weak spot is to attack the practitioner from directly above — while they can deflect any blow that comes from their side, they can't defend against an aerial strike.

The miniseries The Lost Room featured a number of Objects which gave their wielders various powers — some very useful, some not so much. One of the protagonists scoffs as they are going to confront an enemy with the Scissors which, they have been told, allow the wielder to "rotate objects." "What is she gonna do, spin us to death?" As they enter a room, a large, heavy object flies quickly at them in a wide arc, knocking them to the ground, and provoking the revelation: "Oh. Rotate."

In Attack on Titan, you know a good Titan-slayer by how much they spin. Mikasa tends to spin around a lot when taking out Titans, but Levi takes it to a whole other level by making spinning his primary mode of attack; when fighting the Female Titan, he takes it down by spinning up and down its arms and legs to avoid its attacks and disable its limbs.
Levi is sometimes called "Humanity's Strongest Noodle" by fans because of his fighting.

The Spinaroonie. However, since this is a drawn out break dance taunt, it's a good opportunity for Booker T's opponent to recover, attack, and likely win. This was less the case in WCW, where Booker would just quickly break dance back to his feet after taking the opponent down, sort of like Shawn Michaels' 'kip up' move. Then WCW was bought by the WWF, who presented the spinaroonie as his finishing move.

In just about every season, Power Rangers and Super Sentai would have a spinning attack whether it would be on a Zord, or a Ranger.
The first Super Sentai, Himitsu Sentai Gorenger, changed into their costumes by simply spinning round once on the spot.
Gekisou Sentai Carranger / Power Rangers Turbo: The finishing move of the RV Robo / Turbo Megazord is to spin insanely fast while rushing towards the enemy and coming to a sudden stop after slicing through the enemy with its sword.
Special mention goes to Power Rangers Samurai (and of course Samurai Sentai Shinkenger) whose general motif revolves around spinning discs used as powerups for the Rangers' various weapons and zords. In fact, the secondary zords all have a giant spinning discs as part of their designs. As a bonus, each disc also features a pattern which forms the template of a zoetrope that animates when used in the spin swords.
Right up there with Samurai is Power Rangers Ninja Storm (Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger). In keeping with the "storm"/"hurricane" idea, there are several bits that spin to evoke (or actually create) whirlwinds and cyclones.
Power Rangers Ninja Steel (Shuriken Sentai Ninninger) is another season heavy on the spinning stuff, as the powerup items were shuriken that the Rangers would insert in their equipment and spin to activate. They'd even call out the activation with the phrase "Ninja spin!"

Super Metroid: Two of Samus's best upgrades, the Space Jump and Screw Attack, invoke a lot of airborne spinning. In fact, given that Samus won't spin-jump (and thus activate the Space Jump or Screw Attack) if her horizontal velocity isn't high enough when she jumps, the game is an extremely literal example of this trope; her jumps really are much better with spinning. Even before acquiring the Space Jump or Screw Attack, Samus must also spin-jump in order to wall-jump successfully.

This is a Shout-Out to the scene in Yes, Prime Minister where the incoming government minister, James Hacker, asks about getting a chair he can swivel on.

The Mad Duck enemy in EarthBound has a move in which it "[makes] something spin around!" What it is that's spinning will forever be a mystery. The something might just be whoever was affected by said attack, seeing as it renders the attack target unable to concentrate. (Read: Silence status ailment) Just a small theory though...
Oddly enough, the enemy set Spinning Robo, Whirling Robo, and Hyper Spinning Robo don't actually do any spinning.

Star Trek (2009): Spock's Jellyfish is so far the only Star Trek vehicle to feature a permanently spinning part of its external body: whenever the ship's flying, its tail components spin in opposite directions.
At the end of Star Trek: First Contact, the Vulcan vessel's landing gear spins slowly as it deploys. (This was purportedly inspired by the Vulcan shuttle from Star Trek: The Motion Picture, which did some weird somersault thing to dock with the Enterprise.)

Persona 4:
Yousuke spins around with both weapons in hand for his follow-up attack.
Teddie's follow-up attack has him drill into the enemy with his claws, spinning around as he does.
Yukiko spins with her fan to strike her tarot card, in which her Persona proceeds to spin around before attacking or healing; Chie's Persona spins its weapon during some spells/attacks and Yousuke even does a spinning jump to strike his tarot card.

Speaking of GaoGaiGar, Big Volfogg's Hissatsu! Dai-Kaiten Madan technique. He turns on his Mirror Coating and spins like a top, firing little shards of mirror energy (or something) at the target. If you're lucky. If you're unlucky, he'll also hit you while spinning.
Which lead to the unintentionally hilarious battle of spinning tops against Polturn in FINAL.

The Blademaster's Bladestorm from Warcraft 3 somehow makes him invulnerable to most magic attacks while he is spinning. Also applies to his Defense of the Ancients cousin the Juggernaut (NOT an example of The Juggernaut, incidentally) with the weaker Bladefury.
Warriors in World of Warcraft get this one, too.
Also from Warcraft 3, the Demon Hunter's repertoire of autoattack moves includes a spinning attack.

Additionally, spinning at various speeds was a staple of the evolution sequences of Digimon Adventure and Digimon Adventure 02; later series pretty much phased this out, but it's back (albeit briefly) for OmegaShoutmon in Digimon Fusion.

Despite the page quote (which was a tongue-in-cheek puppet parody of the show, itself), there was never any explanation given for why the eponymous Stargate needed to spin in order to "dial".
In Stargate SG-1, this was addressed by having the majority of gates not spin — any gate with a DHD dials automatically, while the SGC (who presumably never figured out the communication protocol for fast dialing) manually dials every time, hence the spinning. (Compare an old school rotary dial telephone to a modern day touch tone to understand the difference.)
The spinning is done away with almost completely in the Stargate Atlantis spin off, as the Pegasus Stargates all work digitally, with no spinning parts. The lights do activate in a circular pattern as the gate is dialed, though.
To continue the "rotary phone" analogy, the first-generation Stargate found in Stargate Universe functions by rotating the entire gate, rather than by simply wheeling around an inner track. While horribly inefficient, it looks awesome, thus confirming that this trope is in play.
In addition, SG-1 season seven's "Heroes, Part 1":

F-Zero: GP Legend: In the infamous Falcon Punch scene, this is part of the real reason for the explosion. Rick was driving around Black Shadow's Doomsday Device thing at high speeds. While spinning. While his engine was spinning inside his vehicle. This somehow made it unstable, which is a pretty serious design flaw when your arch-enemy is a racer with a lot of racer friends.

This was the purpose of the DODS Rifle and its variants in Mobile Suit Gundam AGE. Normal beam shots were not powerful enough to shoot through Vagan Mobile Suit armor, thus the AGE System created the DODS Rifle for the AGE-1. The DODS Rifle instead spins the beam shot like a drill, giving it the extra "oomph" to pierce through. The rifle was later mass produced for the other units in the Federation.

The swordsman's technique Tempest. The swordsman makes a rolling leap through the air, twirling their sword around like a giant human rotary saw. Ruca, the main character of Tales of Innocence, can keep an enemy in the air for several seconds by chaining together Tempest, its enhanced version, and the burning version, Fire Tempest. The combo is both effective and awesome. It can also be used for flight in games with a battle mechanic that allows it to be spammed.

The Flash:
Speedsters such as Flash sometimes use the tactic of spinning or running in a circle to produce a whirlwind. Flash has also been depicted shooting tornados from his arms by spinning them.
There's also a Flash villain named The Top who gets his super speed by spinning. Also he can brainwash people, by spinning.
This is lampshaded by Flash villain Captain Boomerang in Suicide Squad. After kicking a third-rate terrorist speedster off the side of a castle, Boomerang yells after him that the Flash sometimes saves himself from falling by spinning his arms really fast. Once the terrorist splats:

In The Legend of Zelda, the ever-present Spin Attack, originally called the "Whirling Blade" when it debuted in A Link to the Past. The Wind Waker version can upgrade it to a Hurricane Spin Attack, which is a faster, longer and more mobile version of the attack, but pushes the spinning a bit too far and causes Link to be dizzy afterward. Twilight Princess has the Great Spin, which allows Link to release a very powerful spin when he's full on HP. The game also added a tool called the Spinner, which rotates walls in dungeons, and you can ride grooves.

In Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl, this is introduced as a strategy by Dawn, who uses this technique for her contests. Ash uses this strategy when he faces Roark in their Gym Battle rematch to counter Roark's head-on attacks.

The Beetle from Getter Robo Go is much, much smaller than the other Humongous Mecha in the series (roughly twice the size of its pilot, and he's a Japanese teenager), and only used for scouting. Gou unlocks its full potential by spinning it really fast, to the point that once it jumps into the air, it effectively becomes a humongous drill capable of tearing full-sized mecha in half.

Tales of Symphonia gives us Presea, who wields a large ax that can be at least as large as she is. Most of her techniques involve at least one good full spin of the ax, but her advanced punishment techniques send her spinning like a top. Colette has a few attacks involving her spinning while holding out her twin chakrams. Finally, Regal is a kick-based fighter with a wide range of horizontal and vertical spins, including the Crescent attacks, which make him do vertical spin kicks that cut.

It is a gospel part of Wrestling Physics that any high-flying move will be more powerful if done while spinning. Initially, this was just spinning in the direction of motion (ex: 450 splash), but then people started spinning backwards (Shooting Star Press) just 'cause it looked cool (unless you botch it at Wrestlemania, Brock), and you eventually got people like M-Dogg 20 who made their careers out of spinning like tops in every possible direction any time their feet left the ground. Utterly absurd when you think about it, but hey, it seriously does look really, really cool. For the record, with the Shooting Star Press, you're meant to land with your lower body first, as that's where the downwards motion is. Ain't nothin' illogical about the Shooting Star Press.

In Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, the Wing Zero actually takes advantage of the fact that it Dual-Wields BFGs and has a move where it holds both rifles out at arm's length and spins while firing, scything the beams through the area around it. Super Robot Wars dubbed this attack "Rolling Buster Rifle."

In the novel Star Trek: Immortal Coil (a Data-centered story which revisits most of the various series's artificial-intelligence episodes), Dr. Soong discovers the android-making machine from "What Are Little Girls Made Of?" He finds it fascinating... but can't figure out for the life of him why it spins around like that when it's working.

Super Mario Bros.:
The Spin Jump in Super Mario World and the Star Spin ability in Super Mario Galaxy.
The Topman Tribe in the Battlerock and Dreadnaught galaxies. Bowser would also get his own version of the Star Spin to use against you from the second time you encounter him.
Before spinning with a cape, Raccoon Mario from Super Mario Bros. 3 could spin and hit enemies with his tail.
New Super Mario Bros. Wii gives us the propeller hat, which allows Mario limited flight if he, you guessed it... spins. He also slows his descent by spinning as he falls, and can turn his fall into a deadly, drill-like attack.
Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga has a few Bros Attacks that involve spinning. Notably, the Splash Bros Advance changes the attack from a combined jump attack to sending Mario drilling into the enemy.

In Kirby & the Amazing Mirror, when the Master, Meta Knight's very own sword in this game, ability is obtained, his attack whilst dashing makes his sword into a drill with which he flies horizontally across the level, just like Meta Knight does in Brawl. (except Kirby can't change direction)

In the first game, Mario could spin in whatever direction the player was holding at the time. Whilst it's main use was to get to places quicker, if a certain badge was equipped it could cause the Dizzy (read: Confused) status ailment whenever he used it to run into an enemy.

Most ship based emotes in Earth & Beyond involved spinning. Players were fond of combining upward and downward vertical loops to make figure 8s in space. And of course there was the obligatory Do a Barrel Roll (with options of rolling on different axis), bonus points for being usable while in formation. If the formation leader did a barrel roll the entire formation would be forced to preform a giant arching circle through space around that barrel roll.

Then in Sonic Adventure...Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles still have their jump-spin attacks, and can roll. Sonic also has his spin dash. Amy can learn to stand still and spin with her hammer, although since her stages are primarily 'flee from the robot' and the maneuver is very stationary one may never find a use for it. And then Tails gets to spin his tails around, until you get his power up ... and then he gets to keep attacking while moving, nonstop. Even Gamma gets in on the spinny action, as an easy way to clear a room with him is holding the target button and spinning wildly.

R-Truth spins for no apparent reason after hitting opponents with his flying attacks. Because spinning is cool!

Paper Mario:
In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, when you are attacked, you can press A to cover up and reduce some of the damage taken, or if you think you're up for it, you can press B for a "super reversal" where the attacker takes one point of damage. Of course, when you do this command, Mario spins in place momentarily. Likewise, most attacks have a hidden set of alternate Action Commands which cause Mario to perform them more "stylishly" for a bonus; some of the "stylish" versions involve spinning.
Also the Super and Ultra Hammer's Attacks involve spinning.
In the first game, Mario could spin in whatever direction the player was holding at the time. Whilst it's main use was to get to places quicker, if a certain badge was equipped it could cause the Dizzy (read: Confused) status ailment whenever he used it to run into an enemy.
There's also an item called the Dizzy Dial, which causes the Screen to Spin around when used and is supposed to cause the Dizzy ailment when it works.

The logic of The Young Bucks is as follows: take a Tombstone Piledriver, which doesn't look too devastating when done by anyone besides Kane or The Undertaker. Have a tag partner perform a springboard to aid the piledriver, suddenly it's a viable finisher. Now have the person springboarding do a somersault for no other reason than it looks cool, and you have The Meltzer Driver, which coincidentally won "Best Wrestling Maneuver" from the magazine the move was named for.

In Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple, this is the basis for Siegfried's entire fighting style. At first he spins to deflect attacks and then counter, using his opponents own momentum for power. Later on, he trains in Tibet, and after being inspired by a spinning pillar, improves his spinning powers to the point where he can deliver untold amounts of pain on anything near him. He becomes a spinning tornado of destruction (and song!).

One Piece:
Luffy often makes a lot of his normal attacks stronger simply by twisting his limbs. Gum-Gum Rifle is pretty much just Bullet, but with the fist releasing the twist. Gum-Gum Pinwheel might be the most simple, with Luffy simply twisting his body around, grabbing the foe, and unleashing. Luffy's peak use of this is when he uses it to defeat Crocodile with his Gum-Gum Storm, continually spinning while using a Gum-Gum Gatling to perpetually pummel him until he breaks through the ceiling of the underground chamber they were fighting in and up into the streets of Alabasta.
Sanji has his basic Party Table Kick Course attack, with him getting on both hands and legs stretched out while spinning. He also has Diable Jambe, where he spins around so fast his leg bursts into flames.
Also, Zoro has Tatsumaki.
The king of this though is Mr. 2 Bon Clay, who spins with pretty much all the time, regardless of whether he's fighting or not.
Buffalo of the Donquixote Pirates ate the Spin-Spin Fruit (Guru Guru no Mi) which literally allows him to spin parts of his body around which he can use to fly like a helicopter or create gale-force winds.

BattleBots, also had its fair share of fighters with spinning weapons. Those with the spinning saw blade variety and variations thereof fared rather well, but the best was to Son of Whyachi's spinning weights, especially after it took down one such saw blade-type in a single well-placed attack. Not only that, but said vertical-spinner (Nightmare) was originally going to do a quick spin right before impact, but the Hell Razors popped up the wheels.
Awesome moment was Blendo (built by Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman), which had a spinning dome with blades around the outside. It wasn't against the rules, but the chunks it ripped off of its opponents were a danger to the audience, so the organizers had to declare Blendo a "co-winner" to eliminate it.
Mechavore, especially after it ripped off BioHazard's lifting arm. Battle Bots has a higher default weight-class than Robot Wars, meaning that its spinners tend to be more powerful and face heavier armor.

House robot Dead Metal's saw blade cut through most armor like butter, Hypno Disc's spinning disc weapon did its fair share of massive damage (their slogan was "Spin to win"), and Carbide's spinning bar destroyed nearly everything in sight, including parts of the arena. Some robots used spinning in one place as their main attack or defense mechanism.
Warhog, a design with bladed, spinning dome, failed to take Newton's Third Law into account and ended up dealing more damage to itself than the other robots, being thrown backwards through the air whenever it tried to ram anything. Later machine Typhoon 2, a lower conical spinner, did much better, becoming champions of the 7th series.

In Code Geass, Suzaku is known for the sheer amount of spinnery he pulls off throughout the series. The most egregious example is his flying twenty feet across the room to deliver a spinning kick, then falling short and delivering a punch instead.
Sayoko is definitely not above this either. For that matter, neither is Lloyd. Or Euphemia. In fact, just search 'Code Geass spin' on YouTube and see all the variations.
Don't forget about Gino! He's done it once too!

Touhou Project:
Ran Yakumo and Chen tend to spin whenever they fly around. Or fire bullets at you. Or are being used as projectiles by Yukari. Or any combination of those things.
And in the tenth installment, Mountain of Faith, we have Hina Kagiyama who twirls around pretty much constantly.
In more old-school news, PC-98 character Orange is frequently portrayed as a baton twirler due to carrying a baton in canon.

Jak and Daxter:
The lower section of the Palace from Jak II: Renegade rotates slowly for no other reason than to show off the entire game world rendered in real time.
One of Jak's main attacks is a spin kick. From the second game onward, it can be combined with a gun to release a flurry of bullets in all directions.

Difficult pirouette sequences are a crowd-pleaser in any ballet. The ballets Swan Lake and Don Quixote are both famous/notorious for asking the principal ballerina to execute a lengthy set of fouettés at the end of an equally lengthy pas de deux — in the case of Swan Lake, thirty-two of them.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure:
Battle Tendency: One of Wamuu's signature techniques is to create a pair of tornados by rapidly rotating his forearms like a pair of drills.
Stone Ocean: Lang Rangler's Jumpin' Jack Flash has centrifuges on its wrists that it can use to launch nuts and screws at enemies.
Steel Ball Run: The concept of spinning itself becomes a supernatural power, capable of doing things that it has no right doing, similar to the Ripple concept in Part 1 and 2. Gyro Zeppeli is a master of the Spin, and he teaches the Spin to The Protagonist, Johnny Joestar. The Spin is explained as being accomplished by spinning a spherical object at a frequency modeled after a Golden Spiral. This unlocks the secret powers of Gravity itself, which is the only force in the universe more powerful than fate. Reaching the Perfect Spin (which requires extremely specific circumstances) unlocks an Unblockable Attack, because the projectile will turn into a perpetual motion device powered by gravity, and thus holds potentially infinite energy.

In the episode "Beyond the Sea" of Generator Rex, Rex takes his huge sword, pulls a lever, and turns it into a gigantic spinning buzzsaw. It does pretty much the same amount of damage as it does as a sword, but looks a whole lot cooler. The buzzsaw also has an advantage in that it continues to do damage after the original impact, while the sword expends most of the power on impact. He can also make his giant hands spin to drill under something or just make his punches hurt more.

Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic (spiny hedgehog), Shadow (genetically engineered spiny hedgehog), and Knuckles (spiny echidna) can do a spin attack. Tails (fuzzy fox) is just as deadly. Tails has whirling tails of fuzzy doom.
Then in Sonic Adventure...Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles still have their jump-spin attacks, and can roll. Sonic also has his spin dash. Amy can learn to stand still and spin with her hammer, although since her stages are primarily 'flee from the robot' and the maneuver is very stationary one may never find a use for it. And then Tails gets to spin his tails around, until you get his power up ... and then he gets to keep attacking while moving, nonstop. Even Gamma gets in on the spinny action, as an easy way to clear a room with him is holding the target button and spinning wildly.
Blaze the Cat spins... and also creates a Fiery Tornado. This is especially noticeable in Sonic Rush and Sonic the Hedgehog (2006).

Fate/stay night has Gilgamesh with his sword Ea, which is described as closer to a rock drill than a sword. It's made of three sections that rotate in opposite directions, and it works by drawing in and compressing air so hard that time/space collapses, revealing a glimpse of the true form◊ of the world before Heaven and Earth were separated, before hurling the enemy into the rift. Unfortunately, while the visual novel's artwork of this attack is fairly awesome, the animated version is just a cheap-looking blob of semi-transparent red.

Chrono Trigger has the main character have two attacks that involve spinning — Cyclone (spin around and hit things inside the arc with your sword) and Confuse (spin around an enemy smacking away at the foe trapped inside the circle). Notably almost all of Crono's early Dual Techs (X-Strike with Frog was the big exception) involved combining someone else's trick with Cyclone to basically make a version of the other person's attack that was bigger, stronger, or hit more targets.
Robo has his Laser Spin, which is Exactly What It Says on the Tin (he spins around with laser beams active), and Ayla has her Tail Spin. The three together can perform the Twister, where they summon a screen-covering cyclone by spinning together.

Doctor Who:
The TARDIS is sometimes shown spinning while in the process of travelling through the Time Vortex (after dematerializing and before rematerializing).
Averted with Daleks, who have a tendency to spin around in circles before they blow up. Then again, that's probably better for everyone else.
"Planet of the Dead": The Doctor tracks rondium particles with a strange device, expressing his disappointment that the little dish isn't going round. He subsequently gets very excited when it starts to spin.
The Eleventh Doctor seems to love spinning 270 degrees right in order to go left. He's just a bit uncoordinated like that. He also redesigns his TARDIS so the top of the console spins.
In The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot, the classic Doctors are nonplussed by the spinning TARDIS console:

Sayoko is definitely not above this either. For that matter, neither is Lloyd. Or Euphemia. In fact, just search 'Code Geass spin' on YouTube and see all the variations.

In Diablo one of the warrior skills is a spinning attack which heals the warrior for a percentage of the damage dealt to opponents. This is the origin of the common adage "spin to win", since it's a very useful ability when you are surrounded and outnumbered.
Given to the character Sonya in Heroes of the Storm.

Vinesauce Vinny has the "SPEEEEN!" meme, originally inspired by the spin attack in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and quickly becoming an involuntary reaction to anything spinning — particularly when it seems like it shouldn't be. Though once it became the chat's involuntary reaction as well, it started turning into the first Discredited Meme in quite a while (as also demonstrated in the video).

Sechs from Battle Angel Alita: Last Order takes this to an absurd degree in his fight against Zekka, where he takes his double-bladed BFS and spins on all three axes like a gyroscope, turning himself into a giant whirling sphere of death.
And then he pins Zekka down by spinning said BFS around his torso so he can't move out of the way of his next attack.

League of Legends: Garen. "DEMACIAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!". Also featured very prominently with Katarina, Wukong and Draven. It's basically Memetic Mutation at this point.
Not to forget Dravens brother Darius who even has two ingame quotes in which he asks how a "he", with which he obviously means Garen, is able to do "it", after he tries to spin around for more than 360° and fails. Darius is the only champion with a spin ability that ends after 360° and does not last for several seconds.
The precursor of this, although not to the level of Memetic Mutation, is Defense of the Ancients, whereas Juggernaut also possesses a skill that lets him spin around for massive damage (and as of Dota 2, comes complete with a loud yell of "JUGGERNAAAAAAUUUUUTTT!!!!"), not to mention granting him magic immunity. Darius' predecessor, Axe, also has a single 360° spin skill, in which it activates randomly if someone attacks him, so in a way, he could do this multiple times, but always in a single 360°.

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, when you are attacked, you can press A to cover up and reduce some of the damage taken, or if you think you're up for it, you can press B for a "super reversal" where the attacker takes one point of damage. Of course, when you do this command, Mario spins in place momentarily. Likewise, most attacks have a hidden set of alternate Action Commands which cause Mario to perform them more "stylishly" for a bonus; some of the "stylish" versions involve spinning.

The Legend of Heroes - Trails:
Trails in the Sky: Estelle inherited her father's staff fighting style which is based on this concept. In a specific sense, her Wheel of Time S-Craft on multiple levels. First, she spins fast enough to create a whirlwind around herself as she charges the enemy, then she spins around her victim at high speed, creating a whirling vortex of energy around the target as she repeatedly pummels it from all angles.
Trails to Azure: Noel's has the "Rebellion Shot" Craft, where she spins around while firing her guns at the enemies surrounding her.
Trails of Cold Steel: Aurelia Le Guin spins her sword a few times whether it's her deflecting tank rockets or winding up her sword to unleash her S-Craft.
Trails through Daybreak: Van's "Stun Slash" Craft, as well as it's upgrade "Magna Slash," has him turn in a circular motion as he slashes the target.

The Top Spin of Mega Man 3 is incredibly effective against one of the Robot Masters, and takes out the last boss in one hit. In fact, it takes out almost anything it can actually damage in one hit. However, it's INCREDIBLY awkward to use, so much so that 99% of players never use it outside of the aforementioned boss battles. When Top Man uses it, it's significantly less useless: it causes collision damage to you and deflects all of your shots, making him Nigh Invulnerable.

Although not necessarily a spin attack per se, Hajime no Ippo's Date Eiji has the Corkscrew Blow, which is essentially a right cross delivered with a full inward rotation of the wrist. This was shown to be capable of stopping an opponent's heart for a brief moment, putting them in an awfully precarious position given their current location and profession.

Monster Hunter Portable 3rd: Duramboros attacks primarily by spinning its tail around the rest of its body to perform a skyward launch and try to stomp the hunters. It's a very powerful attack (a layer with little health can faint easily due to this attack), but it leads to Duramboros needing a brief cooldown period before being able to stand up to reaume attacking. During this period, the hunter can proceed to attack the monster without risk. The monster's desert-dwelling subspecies in 3 Ultimate (Rust Duramboros) can do this as well.

Street Fighter II:
Has many moves, many of which involve spinning: Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku, Spinning Bird Kick, Spinning Clothesline, Spinning Piledriver, Cannon Drill, Psycho Crusher, and even the Shoryuken had the character turn 360 degrees. Toss in the Rolling Attacks (which are just spins in another plane) and it's easy to see how someone can get dizzy.
The character Zangief's whole move-set was designed around full rotations of the D-Pad, often resulting in an onscreen Spin in the performed attack. He's the spinning Russian man! And, in honor of Zangief, other grapplers in the Street Fighter canon (like Hakan in Super SFIV) gained 360-spin (really 270) power grabs. Zangief took Mike Haggar's piledriver move and added his own extra "twist". Throw in a few back drops and power slams, and you have his ultimate technique, the Final Atomic Buster.
And in the Alpha series, Guy has the Bushin Senpuukyaku which is basically a Hurricane Kick Shoryuken. The move was ported with him to SNES-only Final Fight 3.
In Capcom vs. SNK 2: Mark of the Millennium, Eagle from Street Fighter re-appears with a completely new moveset. All of his special attacks involve spinning in one way or another, except for Attack Reflector St. Andrews Green (which is a golf swing). When he taunts, he twirls his batons around like a drummer.
Super Street Fighter IV outright overkills with this, as nearly every single new Ultra attack involves some sort of spinning. In fact, of the 35 characters total, around 26 of them have an Ultra that involves excessive spinning of some kind (though your count may vary if you count repeated rolling and flipping as "spinning"). Especially infamous is Akuma's one.
Street Fighter V newcomer Rashid uses a lot of spinning attacks, keeping in line with his wind-based moves.

When John Cena became WWE champion, it led to the creation of the infamous "spinner belt," which had a spinnable jeweled WWE logo over the usual gold plating. Serious fans were not pleased. The same thing happened when he became US Champion, though it changed back to the old design after he lost it. The WWE belt remained a spinner for a much longer time. When Rob Van Dam held both the ECW Title and the WWE Championship he said he would wear the former proudly. Noting the other one, he said, "And look at this one—it spins!"

Rurouni Kenshin. Kenshin's ultimate attack, the Amakakeru Ryuu no Hirameki: if blocked, the vacuum from the backwash of the first strike sucks the enemy in, leaving him open for the second.

Tundra Man is effectively Top Man fused with a ice-themed Robot Master as a figure skater. The majority of his attacks involve pirouetting around the stage to slam into Mega Man, and can also deflect shots by spinning fast enough.
Finally, Mega Man Geo-Omega's Elemental Cyclone attack in Mega Man Star Force 1 and Star Force 3, has him spinning to create a leafy tornado.

Metroid:
Samus has the Screw Attack, and the Spin Attack (a/k/a "Ghetto Screw Attack" in many strategy guides). The former makes Samus invincible, frequently combines with the space jump to allow infinite midair attacks, and usually deals a one-hit kill to all but bosses and (usually) metroids. The latter is a significantly weaker, one-time-only version achieved by spin jumping with the charge beam fully charged. Samus also has access to the Space Jump, which lets her jump an infinite number of times as long as she remains in a somersault.
Super Metroid: Two of Samus's best upgrades, the Space Jump and Screw Attack, invoke a lot of airborne spinning. In fact, given that Samus won't spin-jump (and thus activate the Space Jump or Screw Attack) if her horizontal velocity isn't high enough when she jumps, the game is an extremely literal example of this trope; her jumps really are much better with spinning. Even before acquiring the Space Jump or Screw Attack, Samus must also spin-jump in order to wall-jump successfully.
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes had those annoying Quad enemies (and their boss Quadraxis) who would attack by spinning at Samus like a top.
The Prime series also introduces the Boost Ball upgrade, which normally propels the Morph Ball forward. But use the boost in a spinner device, and Samus spins in place to manipulate the attached machinery with her kinetic energy. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption kicks it up a notch in Skytown, which has these circular generator things that you have to boost around for a while to activate whatever they're connected to.

In Housepets!, one of Peanut's comics had Spot (Superdog) claiming to see the future. His girlfriend says his super-vision can't do that, but he simply replies, "Spinning was involved."

Mobile Fighter G Gundam: "God Slash Typhoooooonnnnn!" Also, Schwarz Bruder's ultimate technique, "Sturm und Drang".
In Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, the Wing Zero actually takes advantage of the fact that it Dual-Wields BFGs and has a move where it holds both rifles out at arm's length and spins while firing, scything the beams through the area around it. Super Robot Wars dubbed this attack "Rolling Buster Rifle."
This was the purpose of the DODS Rifle and its variants in Mobile Suit Gundam AGE. Normal beam shots were not powerful enough to shoot through Vagan Mobile Suit armor, thus the AGE System created the DODS Rifle for the AGE-1. The DODS Rifle instead spins the beam shot like a drill, giving it the extra "oomph" to pierce through. The rifle was later mass produced for the other units in the Federation.

One of Goofy's abilities in Kingdom Hearts II, Goofy Tornado, is to spin around the area. He learns this in Timeless River.

Xemnas, one of the major antagonists, frequently uses Dance Battler-like moves that incorporate spinning.

Inverted in Babylon 5. All the cooler and more advanced spaceships (Minbary, Shadows, Vorlon, White Stars) have artificial gravity and don't need to spin, unlike Terran ships and the eponymous station.

Pink Kitty Rose loves this trope. Her favorite weapon in the Classic Mega Man games is the Top Spin, and she's made it a point to demonstrate that the weapon's not as bad as people say it is. Mega Mari's Rolling Slash isn't far behind.

Super Smash Bros.:
Both Captain Falcon and Ganondorf can spin around mid-punch which actually make the attack slightly stronger.
Elsewhere, Meta Knight's side-B turns his sword into a drill with which he flies horizontally across the stage, and neutral-B spins him in place like a tornado (mashing the B button will allow him to take flight). Likewise, Donkey Kong's up-B spins him up into the air like a helicopter. Falco gets in on the spin act, too, with his chain-A. Finally, taking a cue from Super Mario World, Mario can spin his cape at opponents with side-B, and has an attack called "Mario Tornado."
Luigi has his own version of the Mario Tornado, called the Luigi Cyclone, which (with Rapid B-Button presses) can send him pretty high into the air. Most Luigi players will prefer using this move for vertical recovery rather than his up-B.
Also in Brawl, Zero Suit Samus has a taunt which involves her twirling around while her whip spins around her body. Admittedly, this doesn't accomplish much of anything, but it looks amazing.
Kirby has a midair attack where he spins around, kicking at nearby opponents. It looks better than I'm making it sound, seriously.
Jigglypuff can spin along the ground like a wheel, with devastating effects. The game manual labels that as Rollout, which is a move in the Pokémon games.
Link's signature spin attack can launch him in the air and hit the enemy several times before sending them flying.
Rob. Almost every one of his attacks involves spinning. His side B causes him to spin like a top, his down B causes him to charge up a top, which does a lot of spinning, his down smash is a spinning attack, and his neutral air is a spinning thruster attack.
A few of Bowser's attacks involve him retreating into his shell and spinning, with the most notable being his up-B, the Whirling Fortress.
