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 abilities such as [[Hammer Mario]]'s hammers or by being touched when Mario is [[Mega Mario|giant]] or [[Invincible Mario|invincible]]. Thwomps have drastically changed appearances over the years, with some of its appearances ranging from being turquoise rectangles covered with blunt spikes as in its 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: 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 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 make a few minor appearances in the ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' television show. They serve as guards in [[Bowser's Castle|Kastle Koopa]] during the episode "[[Never Koop a Koopa]]", and several Thwomps are shown to inhabit the [[Underground Maze of Pipes]] in the episode "[[Misadventures in Babysitting]]." A Thwomp also appears in "[[Do the Koopa]]", trying to crush [[Mario]] when he has the [[Doom Dancer Music Box]].

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]].

Physically, Thwomps look much like they first looked back in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. Although a bit gloomier and darker, fitting the ''Super Mario RPG'' graphical style, Thwomps return full-spiked and with a prominent spike on their head. These Thwomps are also the first ones to finally have their eyes correctly depicted as they look in the official art. Also, the Thwomps that appear in this game are the first 3-D appearing Thwomps in the ''Super Mario'' franchise.

Thwomps appear in the final battle with [[Bowser]] in ''[[Mario Pinball Land]]''. They use the ''Super Mario 64'' design. They appear on the left and right sides of the room, connected to chains. Behind them are two pulleys that when hit by Mario raise the Thwomps into the air, though they descend shorty after. When at least one of the Thwomps is raised as high as possible, it is suspended indefinitely and the blue button in the back of the room begins to glow. Hitting the button causes the Thwomps hit the ground, knocking Bowser over and making him vulnerable to attack. When Bowser curls into a ball and begins to roll around the room, the Thwomps are the first things he destroys, giving the player 50,000 points each.

A few Thwomps appear in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'' as obstacles in [[Bowser Castle (baseball stadium)|Bowser Castle]]. They try to stop any of the players from making home runs. They also appear in the unlockable minigame [[Star Dash]] and try to smash anyone who is beneath them. If a player gets smashed by a Thwomp, they lose some of their coins.

**'''Thwomp'''
**''Super Mario Bros. 3''<br>02/90
**''Thwomps spend most of their time suspended in midair, waiting. When Mario passes below, they crash down with amazing speed. As you may guess from their appearance, they're heavy and solid enough to make any attack on them futile. Small ones are called Thwimps: despite their weight, they often form groups and bounce around.''

**'''Thwomp'''
**''You can't reason with a Thwomp. If you get close enough to try, it will just drop down to block your path. In fact, you can count on Thwomps to always do exactly that—they've gotten really good at it. A Koopa I know swears they work great as a home-security system...'' (American English)
**''Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a Thwomp of your own? If anyone tried to break into your house, it would just go "THWOMP!" right on their head. Yep, a Thwomp would make a great home-security system. Unfortunately, they're not available in shops. Sad time.'' (British English)
