Shhwonk Fortress
Shhwonk Fortress is a fortress in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door where the Moon Stone and the Sun Stone are kept. It's past Petalburg and a few smaller stone fortresses. The Stone Keys are used to open the pipe to Hooktail Castle.
Before Mario was allowed entrance, he had to participate in a quiz show with a Thwomp. After passing the quiz, Mario was allowed entrance into the Fortres, which was teeming with Fuzzies. After collecting the Sun and Moon Stone, Mario had to fight a Gold Fuzzy in order to get out.
It is possible that Shhwonk Fortress is named after Whomp's Fortress, a Whomp-filled mountain area Mario explored during the events of Super Mario 64. Shhwonk Fortress may also be named after its Thwomp guardian; both "Thwomp!" and "Shhwonk!" are onomatopoeia for the same thing (an object crashing into the ground from above).
