In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', Whomps were redesigned with a bit of a smoother rocky texture, bodies being rougher and rounder along the edges, and their hands matching their body's color and being rectangular with a thumb instead of purple and spherical. Finally, besides [[Ground Pound|Pounding the Ground]], Whomps can be defeated from the effects of a [[Super Mushroom|mushroom]] instead.

Whomps made their ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series debut in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' as obstacles filling the gaps of the [[Berlin Wall]] section of [[Tour Berlin Byways|Berlin Byways]] and in {{wp|Plaza Mayor, Madrid|Plaza Mayor}} in [[Madrid Drive|Madrid Drive 3R]]. They fall on the track as racers drive by, flattening any racer caught under them but providing [[Jump Boost]]s to those that drive on top of them as they lie down. When lying down, Whomps are invulnerable; otherwise, they can be taken out for bonus points by hitting them with a [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]], [[Bowser's Shell]], [[Super Horn]], [[Giga Bob-omb]] or a [[Super Bell]], or by driving into them while under the effects of [[Frenzy]] mode, a [[Super Star]], a [[Mega Mushroom]], or a [[Bullet Bill]]. Notably, this is the first time since ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'' in which the redesigned Whomps' expressions become more aggressive-looking before they fall down.

Berlin Byways returns in the {{a|MK8DBCP|l}}, bringing Whomps back with it. They are once again filling in gaps of the Berlin Wall, and function the same as they do in ''Mario Kart Tour''. They can still be used for Jump Boosts. Their expressions have become more exaggerated to look even more disfigured and unfocused, notably having mismatched eyes.
