When they do, a large portion of the track near them ripples, causing your kart to bounce and potentially lose control.

In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', Thwomps once again appear on {{classic|SNES|Rainbow Road}} included in the [[The Legend of Zelda x Mario Kart 8|first downloadable content pack]]. Unlike ''Mario Kart 7'', they are based upon their ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' design, much like the Thwomps in [[Thwomp Ruins]], though they still flip racers on contact. Along with the <small>SNES</small> Rainbow Road course, Star Thwomps reappear in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as part of the game's base content.
