Thwomp: Difference between revisions

Thwomps make their debut appearance in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', first appearing in [[world|link|2fortress|World 2-Fortress]]. They usually try to squish [[Mario]] under their weight whenever he passes beneath them. While most of them try to crush Mario below them, some try to crush him from the sides, and two in [[World 8-Fortress]] instead constantly move in a diagonal pattern. Thwomps can be easily avoided by using the [[Statue Mario]] ability. With this, it is impossible for Thwomps to destroy Mario by crushing him from above. They return in the game's remakes, ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' in the same fashion as the older Thwomps. They feature improved graphics and retake their especially mad expressions. Curiously, these Thwomps have a "bigger spike" on top of their forehead, separated from the rest of the body by what looks like a small ribbon of sorts. This spike is prominent in appearance but has no effect in the game. It is also worth noting that these Thwomps, instead of having their eyes separated, have both eyes as glowing dots in a black space. This is most likely due to palette and space limitations. This may also factor into why they look pale blue in the Nintendo Entertainment System version of ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.
