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 Block]]s and other blocks, something that their smaller counterparts are usually incapable of doing.

===''Nintendo Adventure Books''===

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."

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

 

Big Thwomps seldomly appear in the [[Mario Party (series)|''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 Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS''====

Big Thwomps appear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]''. The player can enlarge a normal Thwomp with a [[Super Mushroom]], turning it into a Big Thwomp. Unlike normal Thwomps, Big Thwomps can destroy [[Cloud Block]]s, [[Hard Block]]s, [[Ice Block]]s, and [[? Block]]s, and they can also smash through multiple rows of [[Brick Block]]s in one fall.

 

Big Thwomps return in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', retaining their behavior in its predecessor; they can now be attached to parachutes.

===''Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope''===

In ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'', a Big Thwomp covered in [[Darkmess]] appears on the back of the [[Giant Squashette]].
