Shoomps[1] are baby Thwomp-like enemies with a yellow pacifier, prominent eyes not obstructed by their smaller brow ridge, and brownish spots that appear exclusively in the level Another Uncharted Area: Swaying Ruins from Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Shoomps have spikes on their sides, which can hurt the player, but are safe to stand on as a platform. They slide from side to side depending on the angle of the swaying ground, showing excitement as this happens and making a noise reminiscent of an infant laughing. These enemies are not destructible by normal means, but can fall into poison swamps. Longer Shoomps also appear, known as Big Shoomps.[2]
Naming[edit]
Much like other enemies based on Thwomp, "Shoomp" is named after an onomatopeia, evoking sliding along the ground.
