Whomp King

"It make me so mad! We build your houses, your castles. We pave your roads. And still you walk all over us. Do you ever say thanks? No! Well, you're not going to wipe your feet on me! I think I'll crush you just for fun! Do you have a problem with that? Just try to pound me, wimp! Ha!"

- Whomp King

The Whomp King is the king of all Whomps. He appears as a boss in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS. He hates those who don't show respect towards his kind. 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, his only attack is to fall face-first in an attempt to crush his opponent. However, this is also his weakness, because in the time it takes him to recover and stand up, the player can Ground Pound his back. After being Ground Pounded three times, the Whomp King will be defeated and the player will receive a Power Star.

Whomp King also appeared in Mario Party 3, in the Creepy Cavern. He was lying on the road, and to make him move out of the way, the player would need to give up an item.

In Super Mario Galaxy 2, he appears as a boss in Throwback Galaxy.

Trivia

 * The Whomp King hates people because they always "walk all over him and his brethren."
 * The Whomp King only wears a crown in Super Mario 64 DS. He looks like a regular giant Whomp in Super Mario 64, Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Mario Party 3.
 * Whomp King is one of the four Super Mario 64 DS bosses who didn't show up in Mario Kart DS.
 * It is possible for Mario to climb on top of his head. There are several ways for the player to do this.
 * If the player wall kicks into the Whomp King and jumps away from him before the fight, Whomp King will talk to the player as soon as he/she lands. In this way, players may fall off the arena, in which case Whomp King will talk to the player and will then initiate the fight, only for the battle to end seconds later (since Mario is not allowed to move very far from a boss he is fighting with).
 * It is possible to go through the Whomp King in Super Mario 64. Mario must initiate a ground pound right when the Whomp King is about to crush him, and Mario will go through the Whomp King and cause damage to him.
