A '''Sniffle Thwomp''' is a type of [[Thwomp]] with a cold that appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]''. They are encountered in [[Bowser's Castle]].

In the field, Sniffle Thwomps hover above their prey at high altitudes, with a slamming attack following after a few seconds. If it misses, the creature will not move for some time, leaving itself vulnerable to a [[First Strike|preemptive ambush]].

==Description==
In the original game, Sniffle Thwomps appear blueish, possibly due to their cold, and a blue-ish colored ice pack appears on their head. In the remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', Sniffle Thwomps have the same coloration as regular Thwomps, using their design from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', and their ice pack no longer has feet.

==Battle==
In battle, the Sniffle Thwomp takes 13 damage (10 in the remake) after every attack it makes, but if [[Bowser]] [[Vacuum Block|inhales]] the ice pack on its head, the Sniffle Thwomp's fever will rise and it will take 26 damage (20 in the remake) two times, which is a total of 52 damage (40 in the remake). Bowser can inhale a [[Blitty]] from a Sniffle Thwomp.

A Sniffle Thwomp has several attacks. It can jump into the sky and try landing on the character like other Thwomps do. If it sees Bowser in his shell, it will stop in mid-air and wait for Bowser to get back up. Bowser must withdraw into his shell at the very last moment. Alternately, Bowser can trick the Thwomp by immediately withdrawing repeatedly. Neglecting to do this or delaying the withdraw at the wrong time results huge damage and possibly the [[dizzy]] status. If Bowser is fighting, it will sometimes land in front of Bowser and sneeze on him to inflict the [[Sick]] status. Bowser has to dodge this move by punching the Thwomp away. Sniffle Thwomp will also faint sometimes and be picked up by a group of white [[Shy Guy]]s. The Shy Guys walk in a zig-zag path at the character, and Bowser must punch them before the Shy Guys ram the character with the Sniffle Thwomp. If a Sniffle Thwomp's eye glints, it will jump up off the Shy Guys to try to smash the character, which is defended as if it were a regular smash. If the Thwomp was wearing an ice pack when it faints, the ice pack will stand off to the side on a pair of yellow legs until the attack is completed; if the Thwomp is defeated by the counter-attack, the ice pack will run away.

If [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] fight Sniffle Thwomp, it has the same moves, but the Bros. must use their [[hammer]]s to counter most of its attacks, and jump if it sneezes. Instead of the Sick status, Mario and Luigi will get [[Poison (status effect)|poisoned]] if they get hit by the Sniffle Thwomp's sneeze. Sniffle Thwomps will also get dropped on the ground rather than taking damage if a Bro. counters their carried-by-Shy Guys attack with his hammer.

In the 3DS remake, Sniffle Thwomps no longer try to land on Mario and Luigi in the overworld, and only be fought one at a time by the Bros., and they can no longer fight alongside [[Magifoofa]]s. Additionally, their eyes no longer glint during the Shy Guy attack; if the Shy Guys carry the Thwomp while walking backwards, they will trip and drop the Thwomp onto the defending character.
