Big Thwomps seldomly appear in the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]].

In ''[[Super Mario Party]]'', Big Thwomps in their ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' design can appear alongside regular Thwomps in the minigame [[Follow the Money]], where they are obstacles, and cause the player to lose coins if they crush them.

Variant of Thwomp

Big Thwomps[1][2] (also referred to as Super Thwomps)[3] are giant Thwomps that have made semi-recurring appearances throughout the Super Mario franchise. Although their size varies among games, it is always shown that they are larger than the other Thwomps seen alongside them in the games. They also have the ability to smash through certain types of Brick Blocks and other blocks, something that their smaller counterparts are usually incapable of doing.

History[edit]

Nintendo Adventure Books[edit]

In the book Monster Mix-Up from the Nintendo Adventure Books series, a giant Thwomp is created as a result of combining six Thwomps using the Monster Mixer, referred to as "the biggest Thwomp Mario’s ever seen."

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars[edit]

Big Thwomp
A Big Thwomp in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

A large variant of Thwomp is seen in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, inside Bowser's Keep. It is the last and largest Thwomp seen in a line of four smaller Thwomps.

Mario Party series[edit]

Sprite of the large Thwomp in the Mario Party Advance minigame Chicken!

Big Thwomps seldomly appear in the Mario Party series. In Mario Party Advance, a large Thwomp with the Super Mario 64 design of the Thwomps appears in the minigame Chicken!, where players compete to stand under it as it descends without being crushed by it. In Super Mario Party, Big Thwomps in their New Super Mario Bros. Wii design can appear alongside regular Thwomps in the minigame Follow the Money, where they are obstacles, and cause the player to lose coins if they crush them.

Super Mario series[edit]

New Super Mario Bros.[edit]

In New Super Mario Bros., they act just like Thwomps as they will come down from the ceiling in an attempt to squish Mario; the only differences are that these enemies have the ability to smash through Hard Blocks one row at a time and are larger in size. They also have the same weaknesses as their smaller counterparts, being able to be defeated by either a Starman, as Shell Mario, or as Mega Mario. Two make their first appearance in World 4-Castle, and another one appears in a room in World 8-Bowser's Castle.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii[edit]

Big Thwomps reappear in New Super Mario Bros. Wii as well. However, they only appear in World 1-Castle. Like in New Super Mario Bros., they are capable of smashing Hard Blocks one row at a time.

Big Thwomps return again in New Super Mario Bros. 2. They can be found in World 1-Castle and retain the ability to smash through Hard Blocks one row at a time. Big Thwomps are also featured on course three of the Gold Rush Pack.

New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Luigi U / New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe[edit]

Big Thwomps reappear in New Super Mario Bros. U, where they only appear in the level Wendy's Shifting Castle alongside ordinary Thwomps and Thwimps. Because no Hard Blocks appear in said level, Big Thwomps are no longer seen smashing Hard Blocks. Big Thwomps also appear in New Super Luigi U in the level Wendy's Thwomp Castle, where they are seen smashing through multiple Brick Blocks in one fall.

Big Thwomps reprise both roles in New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe.
