Thwomper Room

Thwomper Room is a Free-for-All minigame featured in Mario Party 9. The name is a pun on the term "romper room" (which means "playroom").

Introduction
The camera does a closeup of the two central Thwomps, which open their eyes and slam onto the floor, shocking the player characters. The camera zooms out to show the whole room, which consists of six Thwomps.

Gameplay
Players try to survive the falling Thwomps. Touching a Thwomp in any way results in immediate elimination. A Thwomp's eyes open just before it crashes to the floor, providing warning for the players. Players can also jump and can slow down other players by jumping on their heads. This can become a drawback, however, as the character being jumped on might jump, which causes the player above to touch a Thwomp and be eliminated. The last player remaining, or any players remaining after 30 seconds, wins.

This minigame also appears as a Reverse Minigame. This time, the first player to get taken out by a Thwomp wins.
