'''Thwimps''' are smaller variants of [[Thwomp]]s that made their first appearance in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. Their name is a portmanteau of "Thwomp" and "wimp," making reference to their diminutive size. | '''Thwimps''' are smaller variants of [[Thwomp]]s that made their first appearance in ''[[Super Mario World]]''.

Thwimps appear in | Thwimps appear in both the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] and the [[Game Boy Advance]] versions of ''Super Mario World'', 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]], 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. | ||

A lone Thwimp is found near the beginning of the [[World-e]] level [[Swinging Bars of Doom]] in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. It uses the same sprite as in ''Super Mario World'' and can now be defeated by [[Statue Mario]], [[Invincible Mario]], or by [[Hammer Mario]]'s hammers. | A lone Thwimp is found near the beginning of the [[World-e]] level [[Swinging Bars of Doom]] in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.

They act the same as they did in ''Super Mario World'' and also have the same overall appearance. They can be defeated by hitting a [[?

They only appear in [[Wendy's Shifting Castle]] and sometimes spin while jumping. | ||

In ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]'' and its two [[reissue]]s, ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX|The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX]]'' and the [[Nintendo Switch]] [[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (Nintendo Switch)|version]], they are named Thwomp<ref name="linksawakening">M.

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 Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX'' and the Nintendo Switch version, 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. | |||

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. | |||

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.

==Trivia== | |||
*During development of ''Super Mario World'', the Japanese name of Thwimp, "Coton", was going to be "Pochon".<ref>TCRF.

''The Cutting Room Floor''. Retrieved August 6, 2020.</ref> | |||
*Cycloptic versions of Thwimps appear in side-scrolling segments of the [[Game Boy]] and [[Game Boy Color]] games in the ''[[The Legend of Zelda|Legend of Zelda]]'' series. However, they act more like Thwomps, and the English version even refers to them simply as [[zeldawiki:Thwomp|Thwomp]]s. | |||
