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.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]'', they are named '''Thwomps''',<ref>{{cite|date=1993|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|title=''The Legend of Zelda – Link's Awakening'' Player's Guide|page=101}}</ref> whereas actual Thwomps are referred to as Spiked Thwomps. 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. Thwomps change from a neutral expression to an angry one when Link approaches, turning back to normal when Link leaves or after they hit the ground; in the [[Game Boy Color]] version and the [[Nintendo Switch]] remake, this is also accompanied by changing from blue to red.
