'''Thwomps''', also uncommonly known as '''Thwomp Traps''',<ref>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 13, page 9.</ref><ref>Loe, Casey. ''New Super Mario Bros.'' Player's Guide. Page 10.</ref> are giant stone faces appearing mostly in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] and in different iterations of [[Bowser's Castle]]. They are normally depicted as spike-encrusted living stones that are usually rectangular in shape and made their first appearance in the game ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They typically attempt to fall on and flatten whomever passes below them, although some move horizontally or diagonally as well. They sometimes grunt when they land, and are often seen with an angry expression on their face. They can often only be destroyed by strong attacks such as [[hammer]]s thrown by [[Hammer Mario]] or from being touched while [[Mario]] is [[Mega Mario|giant]] or [[Invincible Mario|invincible]]. Thwomps have drastically changed appearances over the years, with some of their appearances ranging from being turquoise rectangles covered with blunt spikes as in their original appearance and in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', to blue cube-shaped stones that Mario can stand on in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. Currently, they alternate between two designs depending on whether or not they can be stood on safely: a chiseled-edge design first appearing in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and a metal-spiked design first appearing in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', both derived from the dull-spiked design in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' Sometimes, both designs appear in the same game, like in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. | '''Thwomps''', also uncommonly known as '''Thwomp Traps''',<ref>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 13, page 9.</ref><ref>Loe, Casey.
