Variants

Thwomp Platforms are stone blocks debuting in Donkey Kong for the Game Boy as tough, indestructible obstacles. They first appear in Stage 2-8, on the Forest, and behave just like Thwomps, despite showing no signs of eyes or facial features. If Mario approaches them, they drop down and attempt to squish him. If they do so, Mario becomes surrealistically flat and loses a life. On the other hand, Mario can hop on and use them as improvised elevators. In this instance, Thwomp Platforms can squish Mario by pushing him against the ceiling.

Thwomp Platforms return in Mario vs. Donkey Kong, where they act almost exactly like they did in Donkey Kong. In this game, they keep smashing the ground regardless if Mario is below them; Thwomps make an appearance and exhibit behavior similar to the Donkey Kong version, but cannot be used as platforms. Thwomp Platforms also have a new design, looking decorated rather than appearing to be plain rocks. In the remake, the Thwomp Platforms in Slippery Summit are slightly darker, but otherwise act the same.
