The Thwomp Assist Trophy falling on Inkling in Ultimate.
Thwomp debuts as an Assist Trophy. It was revealed during the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct in November 1, 2018.
During the reveal trailer, Thwomp is first seen attacking and launching Kirby, who attacked 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 Mario as he crosses the gap, but succeeding in attacking Luigi.
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.
