Thwomps make their debut appearance in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', first appearing in {{world-link|2|fortress|World 2-Fortress}}. They usually try to squish [[Mario]] under their weight whenever he passes beneath them. While most of them try to crush Mario below them, some try to crush him from the sides, and two in {{world-link|8|fortress|World 8-Fortress}} instead constantly move in a diagonal pattern. Thwomps can be easily avoided by using [[Statue Mario]]. With this, it is impossible for Thwomps to destroy Mario by crushing him from above. They return in the game's remakes, ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' in the same fashion as the older Thwomps. They feature improved graphics and retake their especially mad expressions. They have a prominent spike separated from the rest on top, but it has no additional effect in the game. In-game, Thwomps have both eyes as glowing dots in a shared black space instead of separated, and additionally appear to have a single prominent tooth. In the remakes, the black space is colored red.

Thwomps later appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', along with the [[Big Thwomp]] and act the same way as in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''. In this game, they are a darkish gray sort of color, and their spikes are more realistic, unlike with ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. However, Thwomps only appear in {{world-link|1|castle|World 1-Castle (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}}. They may also appear during the [[Kamek|Magikoopa]] boss battle in the {{world-link|8|tower|World 8-Tower (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}}; his magic can occasionally transform a platform into a Thwomp, which immediately smashes through any platforms underneath it and plummets into the pit below. In this game, Thwomps can only be defeated by the [[Super Star|Star]] power-up or a [[Ground Pound#New Super Mario Bros. Wii|Simultaneous Ground Pound]], with everything else doing nothing to them at all.

Thwomps also make a few minor appearances in the [[Super Mario World (television series)|''Super Mario World'']] television series, mainly serving as guards in the Neon Castle. In "[[Send in the Clown]]", Thwomps are utilized to prevent the [[Cave People]] from leaving Bowser's circus by blocking off the exits. In "[[The Night Before Cave Christmas]]", Thwomps appear much smaller, and they try to squash [[Mario]] and [[Yoshi]].
