Thwomps, also known as '''Thwomp Traps''',<ref>{{cite|author=Tilden, Gail, et al.|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 13|page=9|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=June 1990|language=en-us}}</ref> first appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', first appearing in {{world link|2|fortress|World 2-Fortress}}. They usually try to squish [[Mario]] under their weight whenever he passes beneath them. While most of them try to crush Mario below them, some try to crush him from the sides, and two in {{world link|8|fortress|World 8-Fortress}} instead constantly move in a diagonal pattern. Thwomps can be easily avoided by using [[Statue Mario]]. With this, it is impossible for Thwomps to destroy Mario by crushing him from above. They return in the game's remakes, ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' in the same fashion as the older Thwomps. They feature improved graphics and retake their especially mad expressions. They have a prominent spike separated from the rest on top, but it has no additional effect in the game. In-game, Thwomps have both eyes as glowing dots in a shared black space instead of separated. In the remakes, the black space directly underneath the prominent spike is colored red. To defeat a Thwomp, Mario or Luigi either have to run into it while [[Invincible Mario|invincible]], throw a [[Hammer]] at it with the [[Hammer Suit]], or use the [[Tanooki Suit]] and turn into [[Statue Mario]] above a Thwomp. They give the player 100 [[point]]s when beaten. Thwomps can also be defeated with a [[Goomba's Shoe]], as shown in the [[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3|Game Boy Advance version]]'s [[World-e]] stage [[It's a Shoe-In]]. | Thwomps, also known as '''Thwomp Traps''',<ref>{{cite|author=Tilden, Gail, et al.|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 13|page=9|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=June 1990|language=en-us}}</ref> first appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', first appearing in {{world-link|2|fortress|World 2-Fortress}}.

Much like in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', these Thwomps can be defeated. Ways of defeating it included [[shell dash|shell-dashing]], [[Mega Mushroom]], or [[Super Star|Starmen]]. [[Big Thwomp|A bigger variety]] is also featured here, with extra weight to break certain blocks, but with the same weaknesses as a normal Thwomp. | ||

Thwomps appear in several [[Galaxy|galaxies]] throughout ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', including the [[Buoy Base Galaxy]], the [[Beach Bowl Galaxy]] (on [[Beach Bowl Galaxy#The Cyclone Stone|The Cyclone Stone]]), the [[Dusty Dune Galaxy]], and [[Bowser's Galaxy Reactor]]. This is the first game to feature Thwomps with two faces, one on both the front and back. In this game, Thwomps are much larger than in previous games, and cannot be defeated by any means.

This is the first game to feature Thwomps with two faces, one on both the front and back. In this game, Thwomps are much larger than in previous games, and cannot be defeated by any means. There is a subtle amount of size variation between Thwomps, which can be seen in the Dusty Dune Galaxy where four somewhat larger ones appear near a normal-sized one. | ||
Thwomps in this game are once again spiked, though the spikes are blunt at the end and appear to have been carved, unlike their previous incarnations. Due to this, the sides of a Thwomp can be touched without taking damage; in some cases, it is actually necessary for [[Mario]] to [[Wall Jump]] off of them to reach certain [[platform]]s and areas. Additionally, if Mario stands on top of a Thwomp as it rises in the air, he can [[jump]] to carry the Thwomp's momentum into his jump and perform an extra high jump. | Thwomps in this game are once again spiked, though the spikes are blunt at the end and appear to have been carved, unlike their previous incarnations.

In ''Super Mario Galaxy'', Thwomps generally act the same as they do in other games, with waiting until Mario gets close to them and then smashing to the ground in an attempt to crush him. Others act as they did in ''Super Mario 64'', constantly slamming against the ground regardless of Mario's location. If Mario does get crushed, he instantly loses a [[Extra life|life]], regardless of how much [[Health Meter|health]] he had. Contrary to the Thwomps appearing in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]], Thwomps in this game do not emit low-pitched grumbles when they talk or hit the ground. Their expressions, however, do change as they rise and fall. | In ''Super Mario Galaxy'', Thwomps generally act the same as they do in other games, with waiting until Mario gets close to them and then smashing to the ground in an attempt to crush him.

Thwomps later appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.

However, Thwomps only appear in {{world link|1|castle|World 1-Castle (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}}.

In this game, Thwomps can only be defeated by the [[Super Star|Star]] power-up or a [[Ground Pound#New Super Mario Bros. Wii|Simultaneous Ground Pound]], with everything else doing nothing to them at all. | Thwomps later appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.

Two [[Big Thwomp]]s appear in the [[Supermassive Galaxy]]. They also appear in the [[Throwback Galaxy]]. Their most notable appearance is in the [[Stone Cyclone Galaxy]], where their behavior is exactly the same as in the level [[Fast Foes on the Cyclone Stone]] in the [[Beach Bowl Galaxy]]. | ||
A related species called the [[Flomp]] makes its first appearance in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''. Flomps are platforms with a Thwomp-like face that move around, and when they rattle, their face turns angry and they flip over. If Mario or Luigi stand on a Flomp when it flips, it will knock them high into the air. A species called [[Rhomp]]s makes their debut in the game too. They have one appearance in the [[Slipsand Galaxy]], on the Sand Slide Planet. They attack by rolling towards Mario in an attempt to crush him, similarly to the Spindel from ''Super Mario 64''. | A related species called the [[Flomp]] makes its first appearance in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''.
