Whimps[1] are enemies in Super Mario Galaxy 2. They are miniature Whomps that serve a similar role to them as Thwimps do to Thwomps. Unlike normal Whomps, they have only one tooth; their faces are also flatter, their bodies are less rectangular, and they have cubed forearms. They appear in "Return of the Whomp King" of Throwback Galaxy 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. All Whimps disappear when the Whomp King tries to crush the player. 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 after performing an attack, regardless of if they are successful. The player can knock back a Whimp by doing a spin, or defeat it by performing a jump or Ground Pound.

Naming[edit]
The name "Whimp" is a portmanteau of "Whomp" and "wimp." This name follows in line with Thwomp and Thwimp.
Whimps went unnamed in official English material following their initial appearance in Super Mario Galaxy 2. When their Super Mario Wiki page was created in 2010, they were given the conjectural name "Whimp," based on their relationship to Whomps. This name would later be used by the English Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia released in 2018, which used several names from fan sources like the Super Mario Wiki. The Super Mario Wiki subsequently moved the page to the subject's Japanese name. Later, the Mario Portal website updated to list Super Mario Galaxy 2 enemies in 2022, where the name "Whimp" was also used. Mario Portal has significantly higher veracity for enemy names, thus "Whimp" can be considered an official name.
Names in other languages[edit]
