:Possibly the Official Nintendo Player's Guide - they list all the enemies in front.  I don't have it, but if someone else does could they confirm this?  That's the only source I know that lists all the official names of the game's enemies. -- {{User|Son of Suns}}

:::It doesn't ''officially'' confirm it, but TMK is a pretty good source, so this name is most likely official. -- {{User|Son of Suns}}

==Big Thwomp==
Should this be moved to [[Big Thwomp]]? It is what they are called in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' and ''[[Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition]]'', making it their most recent name. --{{User:TheFlameChomp/sig}} 20:56, 7 February 2017 (EST)
:They are called "Super Thwomp" in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', though. But if "Big Thwomp" is the most recent name, then yes it should be moved as per [[MarioWiki:Naming#Name changes|policy]]. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 22:20, 7 February 2017 (EST)
::In ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'', if a [[Super Mushroom]] is added to an enemy, it is called "big" (no capital). Although I didn't see Thwomp after big, I still believe it would be called big Thwomp. Anyways, I support the move to Big Thwomp. {{User:Yoshi the Space Station Manager/sig}} 22:24, 7 February 2017 (EST)
==''Super Princess Peach''==
Generally speaking, "Big" enemies are just bigger versions of enemies (though some like Big Goomba sometimes gain additional attibutes, in that case splitting into two). The unnamed Thwomp guard from ''Super Princess Peach'' is entirely different and bears no resemblance to an incarnation of Big Thwomp. It is in no way similar to a Thwomp besides its design and instead remains in the background, periodically opening its eyes and scanning the room, and if it detects Peach and Perry in a position that doesn't match a nearby statue, it will suck them up and send them to the beginning of the hall. Due to these differences, it should be split from Big Thwomp. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 22:44, 15 September 2018 (EDT)
:Perhaps we should name that Thwomp "Security Thwomp" until further notice? [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 00:28, 16 September 2018 (EDT)
::If there are no objections, then let's go with that. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 04:27, 5 December 2018 (EST)
== Paper Mario ==
Why do we consider these Big Thwomps rather than just Thwomps? In ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', origami Thwomps are titled just "Thwomp" in the museum gallery. {{User:Scrooge200/sig}} 15:31, August 24, 2021 (EDT)
:I believe these are the only size of Thwomps in the games and are not even referred to as "Big Thwomps". So yeah, I think the information should be fully covered on the regular Thwomp article. {{User:Keyblade Master/sig}} 15:46, August 24, 2021 (EDT)
::Yeah, i think this should be covered on the normal Thwomp article. Not sure for SMRPG, but definitely this one. --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 08:42, April 1, 2022 (EDT)
:::I wasn't sure about the ''Paper Mario'' games either, but if they're just called Thwomps and only appear in one size in those games, then I think it's clear-cut. ''Super Mario RPG'' stays, though I'm not sure if we should be listing it as Big Thwomp (self-explanatory) or Super Thwomp (earliest name).

==Remove all Paper Mario information from this page==
{{SettledTPP}}
{{ProposalOutcome|passed|7-0|Remove}}
Following from the discussion above, they are simply treated as normal Thwomps and are only at one size in these games. On the main Thwomp page, the Origami King section is pretty much covered already (though may still need some rewriting), whereas the Color Splash section will need more attention.

===Support===
#{{User|Swallow}} Per proposal and the above discussion.
#{{User|Hewer}} Per proposal.
#{{User|Doc von Schmeltwick}} - Seems no different from the evil ceiling situation in ''Wario's Woods''. Per proposal.
#{{User|TheFlameChomp}} Per proposal.
#{{User|Bazooka Mario}} Seems pretty clear ''cut''. It's more like move the Color Splash information to the regular Thwomp page, but yes... do '''THWOMP''' the content on this page that's already covered in the regular Thwomp page.
#{{User|LinkTheLefty}} This seems clear cut.
#{{User|FanOfYoshi}} Per all.
