'''Ka-Thunks'''<ref>Super Mario 3D World Prima guide, page 27</ref> are obstacles that appear only in the courses [[King Ka-Thunk's Castle]] and [[Bowser's Lava Lake Keep]] in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''. Ka-Thunks resemble spiky blue squares which hurt the player upon contact. They usually spawn in small crevices and move along a set path until they fall into an abyss. They function similarly to [[Tox Box| Tox Boxes]], as they move along paths, and the player must avoid them by using the hollow space in the middle. They cannot be destroyed by any means, including invincibility, excepting the pair of Ka-Thunks in [[Bowser's Lava Lake Keep]] which disappear upon defeating a pair of [[Hammer Bro]]s.

'''Ka-thunks'''<ref>{{cite|author=Musa, Alexander, and Geson Hatchett|title=''Super Mario 3D World'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|page=27|date=November 22, 2013|publisher=Prima Games|language=en-us|isbn=978-0-804-16249-4}}</ref> are obstacles in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''. They are encountered in [[King Ka-thunk's Castle]] and [[Bowser's Lava Lake Keep]] only. Ka-thunks resemble metal blue square frames covered in spikes that hurt the player upon contact. They either spawn in small crevices and move along a set path until they fall into an abyss, or appear moving in a looping path. Some simply flip from side to side. They function similarly to [[Tox Box]]es, as they move along paths, and the player must avoid them by using the hollow space in the middle. They cannot be destroyed by any means, including invincibility, excluding a pair of Ka-thunks in Bowser's Lava Lake Keep that disappear upon defeating a pair of [[Hammer Bro]]s.


[[King Ka-thunk]] holds on to a larger Ka-thunk during his battle.
[[King Ka-Thunk]] uses one of these during his battle.
