The '''Whomp King''' is a [[List of characters|character]] introduced in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. He is a giant [[Whomp]] who has appeared only a few times since.
'''Whomp King''' is a character in the ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' franchise. He is the king of all the [[Whomp]]s. The Whomp King's first appearance was in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' as the boss of the [[Whomp's Fortress]], and as such is a member of the [[Koopa Troop]].

The Whomp King makes his debut in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. He hates those who don't show respect towards his kind. When he is confronted on top of [[Whomp's Fortress]] in ''Super Mario 64'', he makes a short speech, then engages Mario in battle. Like most Whomps, his only attack is to fall face-first in an attempt to crush his opponent. When hit, it makes the same sound as [[Big Boo]]. However, this is also his weakness, because in the time it takes him to recover and stand up, the player can [[Ground Pound]] his back. After being Ground Pounded three times, the Whomp King will be defeated and the player will receive a [[Power Star]]. For some reason, if the player wall kicks into the Whomp King and jumps away from him before the fight, Whomp King will talk to the player as soon as they land. In this way, players may fall off the arena, in which case Whomp King will talk to the player and will then initiate the fight, only for the battle to end seconds later, since Mario is not allowed to move very far from a boss he is fighting with. A Whomp also appears in [[Bowser in the Sky]].
The Whomp King, also named the '''Slab King'''<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (AU) Issue #42|page=23|publisher=Catalyst Publishing|language=en-au|date=September 1996}}</ref> or the '''Giant Whomp''',<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/19980224211535/http://www.nintendo.com:80/n64/super_mario64/boss5.html|title=Giant Whomp - (Course 2)|publisher=Nintendo: Super Mario 64 Strategy|accessdate=February 23, 2018|language=en-us}}</ref> is a [[List of bosses|boss]] in ''Super Mario 64'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. For the remake, the Whomp King received some design alterations, including a distinct crown, and more rock-like arms and feet. His original design became the basis for [[Big Whomp]]s in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' The Whomp King is fought atop [[Whomp's Fortress]], as the second boss overall. When encountered, the Whomp King makes a short speech before the battle starts. Like other Whomps, the Whomp King falls face-first when attempting to attack [[Mario]]. The Whomp King takes damage from being [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]]ed by Mario, and after three hits, the Whomp King is defeated and releases a [[Power Star]].


For the ''Super Mario 64'' remake, ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', the Whomp King has undergone slight changes in his appearance. He now wears a golden crown which distinguishes him easily from the other Whomps, and his arms and feet look more like they're made of rock. Unlike the original ''Super Mario 64'', he can no longer be defeated via a glitch which allows the player to jump right through his body and then Ground Pound him easily and Big Boo dosen't make the same sound as Whomp in this game. He can also be defeated if walked through by a [[Super Mushroom]]. Otherwise, his role is essentially the same as in ''Super Mario 64''.
A [[glitch]] in the original ''Super Mario 64'' only makes it possible to [[jump]] and time a Pound the Ground attack in midair so that the Whomp King's attack goes harmlessly through Mario, who will then land on his back.<ref>{{cite|url=https://youtu.be/_lmWH7PIRaM|title=Chip off Whomp’s Block in 29.70 - SM64 Level Speedrun|author=RDVvsTheWorld (ILs & Scores)|date=October 13, 2021|accessdate=October 12, 2024|publisher=YouTube}}</ref> If the player [[Wall Jump|wall-kick]]s into the Whomp King and jumps away from him before the fight, he talks to the player and initiates the fight as soon as they land.

The Whomp King is a boss in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. He is fought at the end of [[Throwback Galaxy]], which is a remake of Whomp's Fortress from ''Super Mario 64''. The Whomp King is encountered after the player defeats a Whomp and enters the underside of the fortress, where the Whomp King is encountered. The Whomp King's dialogue is retained from ''Super Mario 64'', though if the player loses a life in battle, the Whomp King interrupts himself while reciting his line.<ref>{{cite|author=Whomp King|quote=-- Arrrgh! I'm tired of this speech!|title=''Super Mario Galaxy 2''|date=2010|publisher=Nintendo|language=en}}</ref> The Whomp King is significantly larger, and only a small, vulnerable spot on his back can be ground-pounded to damage him. Whomp King shares his battle music with [[Digga-Leg]]. The Whomp King now creates a shockwave when he crashes on the ground, temporarily paralyzing Mario on contact. If the Whomp King does crush Mario, he loses an [[Extra life|life]] instantly, unlike before. The Whomp King can stomp his foot to produce several [[Whimp]]s to chase Mario. When defeated, the Whomp King has a different expression that goes unseen, since he is lying on the ground.<ref>{{cite|title={{file link|King Whomp's Face.png|Whomp King's defeated face in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''}}|publisher=Nintendo|date=2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite|title=''[[tcrf:Super Mario Galaxy 2/Oddities#King Whomp's Face|Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''|author=TCRF|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor|language=en|accessdate=September 10, 2024}}</ref>
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', the Whomp King makes a surprise appearance as the boss of [[Throwback Galaxy]]. However, how he is encountered is slightly different from how he was in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. At the top of the fortress, a [[Whomp]] is found instead of the Whomp King. After it is defeated, the entrance door on the ground (emblazoned with [[Bowser]]'s emblem on it) opens to reveal a pathway to the Whomp King, who is fought on the underside of the fortress. The sky turns dark and stormy when the Whomp King appears.
 
His fight is similar to his debut fight in ''Super Mario 64'', and he also quotes, nearly word-for-word, his original speeches from the aforementioned game. If the player dies while fighting him he gives the same speech only to interrupt himself in the middle of it saying "-- Arrrgh! I'm tired of this speech!". Along with that he is much larger than before, and the smaller area which Mario can [[Ground Pound]] to damage him, he also has a few new abilities. When he attempts to crush Mario, the attack will create a shockwave when he hits the ground, which will paralyze Mario for a brief moment if he doesn't jump at the correct time. This can prevent Mario from ground pounding his back in time. He can also stomp his foot to produce several miniature Whomps called [[Whimp]]s that chase after Mario. Additionally, Mario can no longer use a Ground Pound to pass through the Whomp King while he falls, which was a glitch in ''Super Mario 64'' that made him much easier to defeat.


If the Whomp King manages to crush Mario, he loses a [[Extra life|life]] instantly, regardless of how many wedges of health he has left. Whomp King shares his music with [[Digga-Leg]]. Oddly, the guide says that the Whomp King is genderless, even thought the fact that he is a king would suggest that he is male. Excluding [[Bowser]] and [[Bowser Jr.]], Whomp King is the only boss in the game to have dialogue.
Despite "king" being a male title, the Prima guide uses ''{{iw|wikipedia|It (pronoun)|it}}'' instead of ''{{iw|wikipedia|He (pronoun)|he}}''.<ref>{{cite|author=Browne, Catherine|title=''Super Mario Galaxy 2: PRIMA Official Game Guide''|location=Roseville|publisher=Random House Inc|date=May 23, 2010|page=224|isbn=978-0-30746-907-6}}</ref>

—Whomp King, Super Mario 64

The Whomp King is a character introduced in Super Mario 64. He is a giant Whomp who has appeared only a few times since.

History[edit]

Super Mario series[edit]

Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS[edit]

The Whomp King, also named the Slab King[1] or the Giant Whomp,[2] is a boss in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS. For the remake, the Whomp King received some design alterations, including a distinct crown, and more rock-like arms and feet. His original design became the basis for Big Whomps in New Super Mario Bros. The Whomp King is fought atop Whomp's Fortress, as the second boss overall. When encountered, the Whomp King makes a short speech before the battle starts. Like other Whomps, the Whomp King falls face-first when attempting to attack Mario. The Whomp King takes damage from being ground-pounded by Mario, and after three hits, the Whomp King is defeated and releases a Power Star.

A glitch in the original Super Mario 64 only makes it possible to jump and time a Pound the Ground attack in midair so that the Whomp King's attack goes harmlessly through Mario, who will then land on his back.[3] If the player wall-kicks into the Whomp King and jumps away from him before the fight, he talks to the player and initiates the fight as soon as they land. However, the battle ends seconds later, since Mario is not allowed to move very far from a boss with whom he is fighting.

Super Mario Galaxy 2[edit]

The Whomp King is a boss in Super Mario Galaxy 2. He is fought at the end of Throwback Galaxy, which is a remake of Whomp's Fortress from Super Mario 64. The Whomp King is encountered after the player defeats a Whomp and enters the underside of the fortress, where the Whomp King is encountered. The Whomp King's dialogue is retained from Super Mario 64, though if the player loses a life in battle, the Whomp King interrupts himself while reciting his line.[4] The Whomp King is significantly larger, and only a small, vulnerable spot on his back can be ground-pounded to damage him. Whomp King shares his battle music with Digga-Leg. The Whomp King now creates a shockwave when he crashes on the ground, temporarily paralyzing Mario on contact. If the Whomp King does crush Mario, he loses an life instantly, unlike before. The Whomp King can stomp his foot to produce several Whimps to chase Mario. When defeated, the Whomp King has a different expression that goes unseen, since he is lying on the ground.[5][6]

Despite "king" being a male title, the Prima guide uses it instead of he.[7]

Mario Party 3[edit]

Whomp King appears in Mario Party 3. He is seen in Creepy Cavern, lying on the road and blocking one of two paths. Whomp King moves to the other side if either the player gives up an item or lands on a nearby Happening Space.

Mario Golf series[edit]

Although Whomp King does not physically appear in Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, Mario Golf: Advance Tour, or Mario Golf: World Tour, his name is sometimes displayed on the tournament scoreboards.

Dr. Mario World[edit]

Whomp King appears in Dr. Mario World, now sharing his species' redesigned appearance, as one of the Assistants. These assistants can only be obtained as rewards in versus mode in at least Tier 9. In stage mode, his effect is to increase the score granted by making a match if a rainbow capsule is involved. His versus mode effect is to grant a chance in reducing the amount of rows sent by the opponent by one, nullifying the attack entirely if it is a one-row attack.
