''New Super Mario Bros.'' Player's Guide. Page 10.</ref> are giant stone faces appearing mostly in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] and in many 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 attacks such as [[hammer]]s thrown by [[Hammer Mario]] or from being touched while [[Mario]] is [[Mega Mario|giant]] or [[Invincible Mario|invincible]]. Thwomps have drastically changed appearances over the years, with some of their appearances ranging from being turquoise rectangles covered with blunt spikes as in their 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 safely: 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 make their debut appearance in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', first appearing in {{world-link|2|fortress|World 2-Fortress}}. They usually try to squish [[Mario]] under their weight whenever he passes beneath them. While most of them try to crush Mario below them, some try to crush him from the sides, and two in {{world-link|8|fortress|World 8-Fortress}} instead constantly move in a diagonal pattern. Thwomps can be easily avoided by using [[Statue Mario]]. With this, it is impossible for Thwomps to destroy Mario by crushing him from above. They return in the game's remakes, ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' in the same fashion as the older Thwomps. They feature improved graphics and retake their especially mad expressions. They have a prominent spike separated from the rest on top, but it has no additional effect in the game.

Wii]]'', along with the [[Big Thwomp]] and act the same way as in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' In this game, they are a darkish gray sort of color, and their spikes are more realistic, unlike with ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. However, Thwomps only appear in {{world-link|1|castle|World 1-Castle (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}}. They may also appear during the [[Kamek|Magikoopa]] boss battle in the {{world-link|8|tower|World 8-Tower (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}}; his magic can occasionally transform a platform into a Thwomp, which immediately smashes through any platforms underneath it and plummets into the pit below. In this game, Thwomps can only be defeated by the [[Super Star|Star]] power-up or a [[Ground Pound#New Super Mario Bros. Wii|Simultaneous Ground Pound]], with everything else doing nothing to them at all. | ||

Thwomps make a few minor appearances in the ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' television show. They serve as guards in [[Bowser's Castle|Kastle Koopa]] during the episode "[[Never Koop a Koopa]]", and several Thwomps are shown to inhabit the [[Underground Maze of Pipes]] in the episode "[[Misadventures in Babysitting]]."

Thwomps also make a few minor appearances in the [[Super Mario World (television series)|''Super Mario World'']] television series, mainly serving as guards in the Neon Castle. In "[[Send in the Clown]]", Thwomps are utilized to prevent the [[Cave People]] from leaving Bowser's circus by blocking off the exits. In "[[The Night Before Cave Christmas]]", Thwomps appear much smaller, and they try to squash [[Mario]] and [[Yoshi]]. | Thwomps also make a few minor appearances in the [[Super Mario World (television series)|''Super Mario World'']] television series, mainly serving as guards in the Neon Castle.

Thwomps make an appearance in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' in [[Thwomp Ruins]], once again taking their ''Super Mario Galaxy'' appearance.

Physically, Thwomps look much like they first looked back in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. Although a bit gloomier and darker, fitting the ''Super Mario RPG'' graphical style, Thwomps return full-spiked and with a prominent spike on their head. These Thwomps are also the first ones to finally have their eyes correctly depicted as they look in the official art. Also, the Thwomps that appear in this game are the first 3-D appearing Thwomps in the ''Super Mario'' franchise. | Physically, Thwomps look much like they first looked back in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.
