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