'''Thwimps''' are tiny versions of the large, stone enemies, [[Thwomp]]s, that first appeared in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. Their name is a portmanteau of "Thwomp" and "wimp", making reference to their diminutive size.

==Appearances==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario World''====
Thwimps appear in both the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] and the [[Game Boy Advance]] versions of ''Super Mario World'' where they are enemies and hop back and forth in large arcs trying to land on [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]]. They first appear in [[Morton's Castle]]. They usually appear in groups of two and cause obstacles in small hallways. In [[Lemmy's Castle|#3 Lemmy's Castle]], the Thwimps created by [[Magikoopa]]s can be destroyed by shells. However, the Thwimps are only vulnerable for a few seconds, after which the shell will have no effect.

====''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''====
Thwimps are also found in the [[e-Reader]] level "[[Swinging Bars of Doom]]" in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They can now be defeated by [[Statue Mario]], [[Invincible Mario]], or by [[Hammer Mario]]'s hammers.

====''New Super Mario Bros. U''====
After eight years of absence, Thwimps reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. They act the same as they did in ''Super Mario World'' and also have the same overall appearance. They can be defeated by hitting a [[? Block]] while the Thwimp is above one, or by carrying a frozen enemy under one. Additionally, blue cracked blocks can be spotted on the place Thwimps stomp. They only appear in [[Wendy's Shifting Castle]].

The Thwimp is one of the very few enemies that do not reappear in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]''.

===''Mario vs. Donkey Kong''===
Thwimps also make a few other appearances in later games, such as ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'' where they are enemies that appear in the [[Spooky House]] world of the game. The Thwimps try to defeat Mario by landing on him and are invincible, but once again Mario must avoid them to defeat [[Donkey Kong]] and win the level.
