Thwimps appear in ''Super Mario World'' and its [[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2|Game Boy Advance version]], where they are enemies and hop back and forth in large arcs trying to land on [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]]. They first appear in [[2 Morton's Castle|#2 Morton's Castle]]. They usually appear in groups of two and create obstacles in small hallways. In [[3 Lemmy's Castle|#3 Lemmy's Castle]] and [[7 Larry's Castle|#7 Larry's Castle]], the Thwimps created by [[Magikoopa]]s can be destroyed by shells. However, the Thwimps are only vulnerable for a few seconds, after which the shell will have no effect.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]'', they are named '''Thwomps''',<ref>M. Arakawa. ''The Legend of Zelda – Link's Awakening'' Player's Guide. Page 101.</ref> whereas actual Thwomps are represented by [[Spiked Thwomp]]s.
Thwomps behave similarly to Spiked Thwomps and, by extension, Thwomps in the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series. They are small, square-shaped enemies which have only one eye, like with Spiked Thwomp. Thwomps are only encountered in the side-scrolling passages in [[zeldawiki:Face Shrine|Face Shrine]]. Whenever Link approaches a Thwomp, it drops to the ground and, unlike Spiked Thwomps, it rises back up to the ceiling afterward. Link can goad Thwomps into dropping so that he can pass by them as they rise back up, but Link also has the opportunity to use the [[zeldawiki:Pegasus Boots|Pegasus Boots]] to quickly charge underneath the Thwomps while they drop. In the [[Game Boy Color]] version and the [[Nintendo Switch]] remake, Thwomps are blue while on the ceiling, but become red and angry while attacking.
====''The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons''====
In ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons]]'', Thwomps<ref>McBride, Debra, and David Cassady. ''The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons'' and ''The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 27.</ref> are encountered in the sidescrolling areas of [[zeldawiki:Snake's Remains|Snake's Remains]]. They act the same as in ''The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening'', although a [[zeldawiki:Pegasus Seed|Pegasus Seed]] is used to charge underneath them instead of the Pegasus Boots. Aside from a slight palette change, Thwomps have the same sprite, but they no longer turn red while attacking.

Thwimps also make a few other appearances in later games such as ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'', where they are enemies that appear in the [[Spooky House]] world of the game. The Thwimps try to defeat Mario by landing on him and are invincible, but once again, Mario must avoid them to defeat [[Donkey Kong]] and beat the level.
Thwimps also appear in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'' and its [[Nintendo Switch]] [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch)|remake]], where they mainly appear in [[Spooky House]] as enemies. Thwimps try to defeat Mario by jumping left and right, and while they are invincible, their slow attack pattern makes them easy to avoid. In the remake, they are redesigned with a mechanical toy-like design, with a sliding face that spins in the direction they are about to jump in.

Line 34: Line 44:
When encountered, the Thwimps and Thwomp take only 1 damage from every attack unless their defense is lowered or a high enough combo is accumulated. If the Thwomp and Thwimps are not defeated before their turn counter hits 0, they deal enough damage to KO Mario and the rest of his team unless a skill can prevent it and absorb or nullify the damage.
