'''Thwomps''' ({{ja|ドッスン|Dossun}}, ''Dossun'') are [[enemy|enemies]] from the {{uv|Mario}} series.


==Origin==
==Character description==
Thwomps made their debut in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Bros. 3}}'' as a recurring enemy, and has become a recurring enemy in later ''Mario'' games. They are rock-like enemies known for their stone faces. They normally remain stationary in the air, but when they are approached by the player, they attack by falling on anyone attempting to pass underneath them. They are often found in castle levels and have a variety of subspecies such as {{s|mariowiki|Thwimp}}s, {{s|mariowiki|Tox Box}}es, and {{s|mariowiki|Whomp}}s.
Thwomps, at least when they were first introduced, look like large stone cubes with faces and spikes along their vertical perimeter. They typically operate as traps under [[Bowser]]'s employ and wait suspended in midair until when Mario goes into a Thwomp's general vicinity, during which a Thwomp will crash down to the ground with swift force in an attempt to crush Mario. Thwomps are large, but there is a small, nimbler variant called a Thwimp which bounces around, which Kirby can produce with [[Stone]].

The large Thwomp appears in ''Melee'' as one of the many trophies that can be collected like "normal" trophies, meaning that it can be found sooner or later through the [[Trophy Lottery]] and/or playing the single player [[Regular Match]]es:

|desc=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.

|desc-ntsc=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...
|desc-pal=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 times.

===As an [[Assist Trophy]]===
[[File:Thwomp SSBU.jpg|thumb|left|The Thwomp Assist Trophy falling on {{SSBU|Inkling}} in ''Ultimate''.]]
Thwomp debuts as an Assist Trophy. It was revealed during the [[Nintendo Direct#Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct (November 1, 2018)|''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' Direct in November 1, 2018]].
 
During the reveal trailer, Thwomp is first seen attacking and launching {{SSBU|Kirby}}, who attacked {{SSBU|Snake}} using his Thwomp Stone transformation on the [[Garden of Hope]] stage. The Thwomp is next seen on the same stage at its center pitfall, falling and failing to damage {{SSBU|Mario}} as he crosses the gap, but succeeding in attacking {{SSBU|Luigi}}.
 
As an Assist Trophy, Thwomp teleports near or above a nearby opponent. It hangs in the air and falls down when an opponent passes under it, falling through any [[soft platform]] beneath it and dealing 32% [[damage]] and 10 [[shield damage]]. Touching one at rest deals 7%. Unlike its game appearances, however, the Thwomp will teleport to a different part of the stage if left stationary. The Thwomp has a high [[jostle]] priority, making it very difficult to pass through without [[dodging]]. While Thwomp can't hurt its summoner, it will still push them out of the way and attacks will [[clang]] against it.
 
[[Training Mode]] describes the Thwomp Assist Trophy: ''Squishes opponents caught beneath it. Can't be KO'd.'' They cannot be summoned on the [[3D Land]], [[Big Blue]], [[Dream Land GB]], [[Great Plateau Tower]], [[King of Fighters Stadium]], [[Mario Bros.]], [[Mishima Dojo]], [[Mushroomy Kingdom]], [[Pac-Land]], [[Rainbow Cruise]], [[Summit]], and [[Wrecking Crew]] stages.

===Spirit===
Thwomp also appears as an Advanced-class [[support spirit]]. It can be [[summon]]ed using the cores of {{h2|List of spirits (Pikmin series)|Rock Pikmin}} and {{h2|List of spirits (Kirby series)|Rocky}}.

==Trivia==
*Despite Thwomps having a singular voice clip from ''Super Mario 64'', which is reused throughout the ''Mario'' series, they remain mute in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', possibly to reflect their appearance in the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' series, where they are consistently mute.
*Thwomp's Assist Trophy reveal is very similar to {{SSBU|King K. Rool}} and {{SSBU|Banjo & Kazooie}}'s fighter reveals. While {{SSBU|King Dedede}} and {{SSBU|Duck Hunt}} were disguised as K. Rool and Banjo and Kazooie respectively, only to get smacked by them later, Kirby follows suit by using Stone to take the form of Thwomp, only to get hit by a real one.
