'''Thwomps''', also uncommonly known as '''Thwomp Traps''',<ref>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 13, page 9.</ref><ref>Loe, Casey. ''New Super Mario Bros.'' Player's Guide. Page 10.</ref> are giant stone faces appearing mostly in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] and in different iterations of [[Bowser's Castle]]. They are normally depicted as spike-encrusted living stones that are usually rectangular in shape and made their first appearance in the game ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They typically attempt to fall on and flatten whomever passes below them, although some move horizontally or diagonally as well. They sometimes grunt when they land, and are often seen with an angry expression on their face. They can often only be destroyed by strong abilities such as [[Hammer Mario]]'s hammers or by being touched when Mario is [[Mega Mario|giant]] or [[Invincible Mario|invincible]]. Thwomps have drastically changed appearances over the years, with some of its appearances ranging from being turquoise rectangles covered with blunt spikes as in its original appearance and in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', to blue cube-shaped stones that Mario can stand on in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. Currently, they alternate between two designs depending on whether or not they can be stood on: a chiseled-edge design first appearing in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and a metal-spiked design first appearing in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', both derived from the dull-spiked design in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' Sometimes, both designs appear in the same game, like in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. | '''Thwomps''', also uncommonly known as '''Thwomp Traps''',<ref>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 13, page 9.</ref><ref>Loe, Casey.

Thwomps reappear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'' as enemies. They have been slightly redesigned again, reverting to their turquoise coloration, having a flatter, cork-like texture to their faces, and rounder, more stylized eyes and spikes. They appear primarily in [[Sunbaked Desert Palace]] and [[Petal Isles Special Way of the Goomba]]. Two new subspecies of Thwomps make their debut in this game: [[Konk]]s, rectangles with arrows on their faces which behave mostly the same except they move left and right as well as having a variation of their own trying to crush the player(s) from upside down; and [[ | Thwomps reappear in ''[[Super Mario Bros.
