(Undo revision 4313517 by BowserBoy9000 (talk) "Obstacle" is more fitting for these than calling them enemies, and edit to the King Ka-Thunk section made it look like King Ka-Thunk is the spike square rather than the creature moving around in it) Tags: Undo Mobile edit Advanced mobile edit |

Ka-thunks[1] are obstacles in Super Mario 3D World and Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. They are encountered in King Ka-thunk's Castle and Bowser's Lava Lake Keep only. Ka-thunks resemble metal blue square frames covered in spikes that hurt the player upon contact. They either spawn in small crevices and move along a set path until they fall into an abyss, or appear moving in a looping path. Some simply flip from side to side. They function similarly to Tox Boxes, as they move along paths, and the player must avoid them by using the hollow space in the middle. They cannot be destroyed by any means, including invincibility, excluding a pair of Ka-thunks in Bowser's Lava Lake Keep that disappear upon defeating a pair of Hammer Bros.
King Ka-thunk holds on to a larger Ka-thunk during his battle.
