Thwomps are recurring ''Mario'' enemies, debuting in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Bros. 3}}''. They hang in the air, and when players passes under them they try to crush them by falling.
Thwomps made their debut in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Bros. 3}}'' as a recurring enemy, and has become a recurring enemy in later ''Mario'' games. They are rock-like enemies known for their stone faces. They normally remain stationary in the air, but when they are approached by the player, they attack by falling on anyone attempting to pass underneath them. They are often found in castle levels and have a variety of subspecies such as {{s|mariowiki|Thwimp}}s, {{s|mariowiki|Tox Box}}es, and {{s|mariowiki|Whomp}}s.

:''Thwomps spend most of their time suspended in midair, waiting. When Mario passes below, they crash down with amazing speed. As you may guess from their appearance, they're heavy and solid enough to make any attack on them futile. Small ones are called Thwimps: despite their weight, they often form groups and bounce around.''

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==
During the reveal trailer, Thwomp is first seen attacking and launching {{SSBU|Kirby}}, who attacked {{SSBU|Snake}} using his Thwomp Stone transformation on the [[Garden of Hope]] stage. The Thwomp is next seen on the same stage at its center pitfall, falling and failing to damage {{SSBU|Mario}} as he crosses the gap, but succeeding in attacking {{SSBU|Luigi}}.
[[File:Thwomp SSBU.jpg|thumb|The Thwomp Assist Trophy falling on {{SSBU|Inkling}} in ''Ultimate''.]]
 
Thwomp makes its debut as an [[Assist Trophy]]. It behaves exactly as it does in ''Mario'' platformer games: it hangs in the air, and falls down when characters pass under it. [[Training Mode]] describes the Assist Trophy: ''Squishes opponents caught beneath it. Can't be KO'd.''
As an Assist Trophy, Thwomp teleports near or above a nearby opponent. It hangs in the air and falls down when an opponent passes under it, falling through any [[soft platform]] beneath it and dealing 32% [[damage]] and 10 [[shield damage]]. Touching one at rest deals 7%. Unlike its game appearances, however, the Thwomp will teleport to a different part of the stage if left stationary. The Thwomp has a high [[jostle]] priority, making it very difficult to pass through without [[dodging]]. While Thwomp can't hurt its summoner, it will still push them out of the way and attacks will [[clang]] against it.
 
[[Training Mode]] describes the Thwomp Assist Trophy: ''Squishes opponents caught beneath it. Can't be KO'd.'' They cannot be summoned on the [[3D Land]], [[Big Blue]], [[Dream Land GB]], [[Great Plateau Tower]], [[King of Fighters Stadium]], [[Mario Bros.]], [[Mishima Dojo]], [[Mushroomy Kingdom]], [[Pac-Land]], [[Rainbow Cruise]], [[Summit]], and [[Wrecking Crew]] stages.

===Spirit===
Thwomp also appears as an Advanced-class [[support spirit]]. It can be [[summon]]ed using the cores of {{h2|List of spirits (Pikmin series)|Rock Pikmin}} and {{h2|List of spirits (Kirby series)|Rocky}}.


As in ''SSB4'', the modern Thwomp design appears as one of Kirby's possible [[Stone]] transformations.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Despite Thwomps having a singular voice clip from ''Super Mario 64'', which is reused throughout the ''Mario'' series, they remain mute in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', possibly to reflect their appearance in the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' series, where they are consistently mute.
*Thwomp's Assist Trophy reveal is very similar to {{SSBU|King K. Rool}}'s fighter reveal. While {{SSBU|King Dedede}} was disguised as K. Rool, only to get smacked by him later, Kirby follows suit by using Stone to take the form of Thwomp, only to get hit by a real one.
