'''Thwacks''' are box enemies with faces that live on [[Thwomp Volcano]] during the events of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. In fact, Thwacks are very similar to [[Thwomp]]s in appearance and mannerisms. As such, Thwacks may be a sub-species of Thwomp or a separate, but closely related, species. Thwacks come in two colors: red and green. Red Thwacks have blue eyes while green Thwacks have yellow eyes. Thwacks also make a variety of facial expressions. | '''Thwacks''' are box enemies with faces that live on [[Thwomp Volcano]] during the events of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''.

In battle, Thwacks employ a variety of attacks. Before each attack, a Thwack twirls and either remains the same color or changes into a different color. If green, the Thwack attacks [[Luigi]]; if pink, the enemy attacks [[Mario]]. After twirling, the Thwack may attempt to crush the Bro. of its choice. As the Thwack hovers over the hero, the baby Bro. should counter with a [[Hammer]] strike. Additionally, Thwacks may fly low, attempting to ram into a Mario brother. In this case, Mario or Luigi should [[jump]] to dodge or counter the attack. Thwacks can also summon more Thwacks to join the battle. | In battle, Thwacks employ a variety of attacks.

Occasionally, the Thwack may turn yellow (instead of red or green). When this happens, the Thwack will attempt a sacrificial attack in a last ditch effort to destroy the Mario Bros. After turning yellow, the Thwack splits into two boulders, and each rock rolls into a brother. This attack can be avoided by jumping. | Occasionally, the Thwack may turn yellow (instead of red or green).

In the battle against [[Bowser]] and [[Baby Bowser]], the former uses a shock wave attack that can, depending on the speed of the shock wave, can send all kinds of Thwacks raining down on the quartet. | |||
Thwacks are close relatives of [[Wonder Thwack]]s and [[Thwack Totem]]s (which are formed when multiple Thwacks merge into one entity). | Thwacks are close relatives of [[Wonder Thwack]]s and [[Thwack Totem]]s (which are formed when multiple Thwacks merge into one entity). |
