A '''Mega Thwomp'''<ref>{{cite|date=1993|title=''The Legend of Zelda – Link's Awakening'' Player's Guide|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|page=101}}</ref> is a rare type of [[Thwomp]] encountered only in an underground side-scrolling passage of the {{iw|zeldawiki|Key Cavern}} from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]''. Both its appearance and behavior are significantly different than in the ''Super Mario'' games, especially the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]]. Mega Thwomp is shaped like a large square, and its face consists of two eyes and an angry expression. In both the [[Game Boy Color]] version and the [[Nintendo Switch]] remake, Mega Thwomp is colored red. It is stuck between two thin platforms, and is hanging in midair above a pit of [[Spike Trap|spike]]s. Mega Thwomp serves more as an obstacle than an enemy because it does not attempt to crush [[Link]] if he goes underneath it. To move the Mega Thwomp, Link has to charge into it using the {{iw|zeldawiki|Pegasus Boots}}. In doing so, the Mega Thwomp cracks slightly, receives a shocked expression, and falls on the spikes below. With the {{iw|zeldawiki|Roc's Feather}}, Link can jump on to the Mega Thwomp and use it as a platform to go across the spikes and continue onward. In ''The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX'', Mega Thwomp turns blue when it cracks slightly, but in the Nintendo Switch remake, it stays red.
