| | '''Whimps''' are miniature [[Whomp]]s that appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They only appear at [[Throwback Galaxy]] in the mission "[[Throwback Galaxy#Return of the Whomp King|Return of the Whomp King]]". They help the [[Whomp King]] in his battle against [[Mario]]. In the second and third phase of the Whomp King battle, the king will stomp a foot to make three (five in the third battle phase) Whimps break off from the ground. After that, the Whimps will instantly start chasing after Mario or [[Luigi]]. |
| '''Whimps'''<ref>{{cite|language=en|url=www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/archives/galaxy2/?lang=en|title=English ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' entry on the official Mario Portal|publisher=nintendo.co.jp|accessdate=August 13, 2022|archive=archive.is/2022.08.12-233946/https://www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/archives/galaxy2/?lang=en}}</ref> are [[list of enemies|enemies]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. Their name is a portmanteau of "[[Whomp]]" and "wimp." They are miniature Whomps that serve a similar role to them as [[Thwimp]]s do to [[Thwomp]]s. Whimps are more fragile and less damaging than regular Whomps, taking only a point of the player's health if they land on Mario or Luigi. They also disintegrate as soon as they attack, regardless of if they hit. The player can knock back a Whimp by doing a [[spin]], or defeat it by performing a [[jump]] or [[Ground Pound]]. All Whimps disappear when the Whomp King tries to crush the player. Unlike normal Whomps, they have only one tooth; their faces are also flatter, their bodies are less rectangular, and they have square, arm-less hands. They appear in the [[Throwback Galaxy]] mission [[Return of the Whomp King]] only, assisting the [[Whomp King]] in his battle against the player. In the second and third phases of the battle, the Whomp King stomps a foot to make three (five in the third phase) Whimps break off from the ground. After that, the Whimps instantly start chasing after the player. Once they get close enough, they jump and land flat on their faces, attempting to crush [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]]. | | [[File:Whimps.png|Three Whimps running towards Mario.|thumb|left|120px]]Once they get close enough, they jump and land face-flat, attempting to crush Mario or Luigi. Luckily, unlike other Whomps, they only take a point of Mario's health, instead of taking all of it. Also, they are more fragile than regular Whomps, and crumble as soon as they attack. Therefore, to defeat them, all one of the [[plumber]]s has to do is just simply get the Whimps to attack. The Bros. can also knock back a Whimp by doing a [[Star Spin]] or defeat them with a jump or ground pound. They disappear when the Whomp King tries to crush Mario or Luigi. |
