==History==
==History==
===''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."
===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''===

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.
A Big Thwomp is first 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.
 
===''Mario Party'' series===
[[File:MPA Big Thwomp.png|frame|left]]
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.

====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
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 reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' as well. However, they only appear in {{world link|1|castle|World 1-Castle (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}}. Like in ''New Super Mario Bros.'', they are capable of smashing Hard Blocks one row at a time.
Big Thwomps reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' as well. However, they only appear in {{world-link|1|castle|World 1-Castle (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}}. They are not seen smashing through Brick Blocks; instead, they are seen smashing through white tiles on the floor of the [[castle]].

Two Big Thwomps appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' in the [[Supermassive Galaxy]]. They are much larger and wider than normal Thwomps, and have some flat surfaces between the bumps on their rims that their smaller counterparts lack. Mario can still wall jump up them just like the normal ones and also long jump to quickly pass them. There is a [[1-Up Mushroom]] on top of one.

Big Thwomps return again in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. They can be found in {{world link|1|castlen2|World 1-Castle (New Super Mario Bros. 2)}} and retain the ability to smash through Hard Blocks one row at a time. Big Thwomps are also featured on [[Third Course (Gold Rush Pack)|course three]] of the [[Gold Rush Pack]].
Big Thwomps return again in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. They can be found in {{world-link|1|castlen2|World 1-Castle (New Super Mario Bros. 2)}} and have the ability to smash through stone tiles on the floor once again. Big Thwomps are also featured on course three of the [[Gold Rush Pack]], one of the game's downloadable level packs for Coin Rush mode.


====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Luigi U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
====''New Super Mario Bros. U''====
Big Thwomps reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', where they only appear in the level [[Wendy's Shifting Castle]] alongside ordinary Thwomps and [[Thwimp]]s. Because no Hard Blocks appear in said level, Big Thwomps are no longer seen smashing Hard Blocks. Big Thwomps also appear in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'' in the level [[Wendy's Thwomp Castle]], where they are seen smashing through multiple [[Brick Block]]s in one fall.
Big Thwomps reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', alongside ordinary Thwomps and [[Thwimp]]s.


Big Thwomps reprise both roles in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]''.
====''New Super Luigi U''====
Big Thwomps return in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', in the level [[Wendy's Thwomp Castle]].

===''Super Princess Peach''===

[[File:SuperDuperThwompSPP.png|thumb|left|The gigantic Thwomp from ''Super Princess Peach'']]
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.
In ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', an incredibly huge stationary Thwomp appears guarding halls in Areas [[Bowser's Villa 8-3|8-3]], [[Bowser's Villa 8-5|8-5]] and [[Bowser's Villa 8-9|8-9]] of [[Bowser's Villa]], and it will inhale [[Princess Peach]] to send her to the start of the room if it sees her. In order to avoid this, Peach must imitate the statues in the room. It barely fits in the background and it is quite possibly the largest Thwomp seen in any ''Mario'' game. Like [[Blindfold Boo]]s and [[Lava Bubble (blue)|blue Podoboo]]s, it does not appear in the in-game glossary.

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

A Big Thwomp makes an appearance on the battle course [[Thwomp Desert]] in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', where one pounds the ground creating earthquakes. This Thwomp can also smash racers if they drive too close while it slams the ground.

Four Big Thwomps made out of cardboard appear during ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]''. Like many enemies, they use their designs from the main series rather than their design from the first three ''Paper Mario'' games.

==Additional names==
The first one is found in the battle against [[Iggy Koopa]] at [[The Golden Coliseum]], where if the [[Battle Card (Paper Mario: Color Splash)#Bone Thing|Bone Thing card]] is used too early, Iggy summons a Big Thwomp which instantly kills the player regardless of health, resulting in a [[Game Over]].<ref name="Using the Bone Thing Early During the Iggy Battle">[https://youtu.be/KZ9xLcs5Jy0]</ref> The second one crushes the [[Sunset Express]] outside of the [[Kiwano Temple]]. The third one appears in the railway tracks of Sunset Express, and it needs to be awakened with the [[Battle Card (Paper Mario: Color Splash)#Megaphone|Megaphone Thing card]] so the train can continue its way to [[Starlight Cape]]. Finally, the last one appears in the background of Starlight Cape.
