Talk:Thwomp

The section with Link's awakening should probably be moved to trivia, but i would like a second opinion.


 * I'll move it to a Cameo section. It's really good information, whoever wrote it. --

Mario vs. Donkey Kong
Do we have a section for that game? If not, I'll add it.

Four Swords Adventures
In various platforming stages, there is a block that has to be stood upon for it to be lowered. When stood upon, it acquires an angry face comparable to that of Thwomps. PoisonMushroom 18:27, 12 December 2011 (EST)

Star Thwomps
Should there be a article or redirect for the Star Thwomps in Super Mario Kart and Mario Kart 7? -'Shroom64: The Mushroomeditor

I agree that there should be. Iv'e been searching for an article on this ever since i saw a picture of SNES rainbow road yet i couldn't find anything.

Half of these are not Thwomps
The square blue ones with no spikes are Whomp Blocks, not Thwomps! Additionally, the things referred to as "Whomps" on this wiki are Whomp Dominoes. 14.202.139.228 06:29, 29 July 2013 (EDT)
 * Do you have a source for this?
 * Whomps are the blocks with legs. Now, saying that the blue things are Whomp Blocks, even though they act just like Thwomps, is silly. As for the other thing, they act like dominoes only in a minigame. 23:14, 30 July 2013 (EDT)

I'm pretty sure that they are all thwomps, they just look different because the hardware of the nintendo 64 was not big enough. Whomps have legs and hands and they are anyway subspecies of thwomps.

Create a page for Star Thwomp
NO QUORUM 2-0

I wonder why there isn't a page for Star Thwomp, i think we should make the page because Star Thwomp is a species of Thwomp.

If you have enough information about the subject, just go create it, no need for TPP.-- 17:36, 29 August 2013 (EDT)

Actully, in the Mario Kart 7 Article, there's a link that says "Star Thwomp" that redricts to Thwomp. :|
 * Just create the page by typing "Star Thwomp" on the search bar and then clicking on the red link. This is not a redirect; it's a link to Thwomp's page under a different name. Like Fat Plumber Dude isn't a redirect. 19:25, 30 August 2013 (EDT)

Don?
Okay, so I noticed a bunch of Thwomp-like creatures have "don" in their japanese names (Namely, Donkaku, Donguru, Tsukidashidon, Onimasudon, Donpyon, Donsuke). I was thinking "don" might be derived from "Dossun", is that too much of a stretch? Wallop and Stairface's Chinese and Korean names do seem to be based on Thwomp's. I'm not sure what to conclude. Thoughts? Blinker (talk) 17:22, November 30, 2021 (EST)

First occurrence of Thwomp's current design
If I'm not mistaken, Thwomp's current design was first used in Mario Kart Double Dash. Is it worth emphasising in the respective sections? It currently states that it was the first title in the Mario Kart series to utilise that design, not the Mario franchise as a whole.
