''Nintendo: Super Mario 64 Strategy'' (Internet Archive: Wayback Machine). Retrieved February 23, 2018.</ref> 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 he presumably is a member of the [[Koopa Troop]]. When he appears, he states that he is angry about how people treat rocks and seems to want retribution. | ||

The Whomp King | The Whomp King debuts in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. 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, he attacks by falling face-first in an attempt to crush the player. While he is flat on the ground, the player must [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]] his back three times to defeat him, causing him to release a [[Power Star]]. A glitch makes it possible to jump and time a Ground Pound in midair so that the Whomp King's attack goes harmlessly through Mario, who will then land on his back. For some reason, if the player wall kicks into the Whomp King and jumps away from him before the fight, Whomp King talks to the player and initiate 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 he is fighting with. | ||

He now wears a golden crown which distinguishes him easily from the other Whomps, and his arms and feet look more like they are made of rock. His role is essentially the same as in ''Super Mario 64'', though he can no longer be defeated via the aforementioned glitch. | ||

In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', the Whomp King reappears as the boss of [[Throwback Galaxy]], which is a remake of Whomp's Fortress. 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. | In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', the Whomp King reappears as the boss of [[Throwback Galaxy]], which is a remake of Whomp's Fortress.

The Whomp King fight is similar to his debut appearance in ''Super Mario 64''. Excluding [[Bowser]] and [[Bowser Jr.]], Whomp King is the only boss in the game to have dialogue, where he quotes his original speeches from the aforementioned game, word for word; if the player loses a life while fighting Whomp King, he starts to give the same speech before the second attempt, only to interrupt himself in the middle. (''"-- Arrrgh! I'm tired of this speech!"'') He is much larger than before, and the area that Mario must [[Ground Pound]] to damage him is much smaller. He also has a few new abilities: When he attempts to crush Mario, the attack creates a shockwave when he hits the ground, which paralyzes Mario for a brief moment if he does not jump at the correct time. Like with other such obstacles, if the Whomp King manages to crush Mario, he loses a [[Extra life|life]] instantly. He can also stomp his foot to produce several miniature Whomps called [[ | The Whomp King fight is similar to his debut appearance in ''Super Mario 64''.

He can also stomp his foot to produce several miniature Whomps called [[Pattan]] that chase after Mario, and can jump to stun him as well. | ||
