[edit] Appearances
[edit] Super Mario World
Thwimps appeared in both the SNES and the Game Boy versions of Super Mario World where they were enemies and hopped back and forth in large arcs trying to land on, and kill, Mario or Luigi. Not unlike their larger cousins, the thwomps, they cannot be destroyed and can kill the player very easily so the player has to avoid them. They usually appear in groups of two and cause obstacles in small hallways.
[edit] Mario vs. Donkey Kong
Thwimps also made a few other appearances in later games, such as Mario vs. Donkey Kong where they were enemies that appeared in the Spooky House world of the game. The thwimps once again tried to defeat Mario by landing on him and are invincible but once again Mario must avoid them to defeat Donkey Kong and win the level.
[edit] Trivia
- Thwimp's name is a portmanteau of "Thwomp" and "wimp".
