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.

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

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 Block]]s 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 [[Super Star|Starman]], as [[Shell Mario]], or as [[Mega Mario]]. Two make their first appearance in {{world-link|4|castlen|World 4-Castle (New Super Mario Bros.)}}, and another one appears in a room in {{world-link|8|bowsern|World 8-Bowser's Castle (New Super Mario Bros.)}}.

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.
