A Mega Thwomp[1] is a rare type of Thwomp that only appears in an underground side-scrolling passage of the Key Cavern from The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. Both its appearance and behavior are significantly different than in the Mario games, especially the Super Mario series. Mega Thwomp is shaped like a large square, and its face consists of two eyes and an angry expression. In both the Game Boy Color version and the Nintendo Switch remake, Mega Thwomp is colored red. It is stuck between two thin platforms, and is hanging in midair above a pit of spikes. Mega Thwomp serves more as an obstacle than an enemy because it does not attempt to crush Link if he goes underneath it. To move the Mega Thwomp, Link has to charge into it using the Pegasus Boots. In doing so, the Mega Thwomp cracks slightly, receives a shocked expression, and falls on the spikes below. With the Roc's Feather, Link can jump on to the Mega Thwomp and use it as a platform to go across the spikes and continue onward. In The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX, Mega Thwomp turns blue when it cracks slightly, but in the Nintendo Switch remake, it stays red.
