Thwimps are one of cameo enemy from Super Mario Bros games that have appeared in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]''. They are the smaller version of the large stone enemies, [[Spiked Thwomp]]s and [[Mega Thwomp]]s.  
'''Thwomps'''{{Ref|name=basic|pg. 101|The basic Thwomp simply tries to crush anything that crosses beneath it.|''[[Link's Awakening Nintendo Player's Guide]]''}} are indestructible, trap-like enemies found in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]''. Thwomps are small and blue with one big eye, having spikes on the exterior of the monster's body. Also, they are the smaller versions of the large enemies, [[Spiked Thwomp]]s and [[Mega Thwomp]]s. They are one of several enemies from the ''[[Mario]]'' franchise,{{Ref|pg. 69|'''Thwomps'''<br/>More refugees from the Mushroom Kingdom have shown up in Koholint.|''Link's Awakening Nintendo Player's Guide''}} and despite their name, Thwomps are actually the same enemy as '''Thwimps''' from ''[[wikipedia:Super Mario World|Super Mario World]]'', as indicated by their Japanese name, but still have the behavior of Thwomps in the ''Super Mario'' series.


==Appearances==
==''Link's Awakening''==
Found only in side-scrolling sections of the [[Face Shrine]], Thwomps wait at the ceiling of a room for [[Link (A Link to the Past)#Link's Awakening|Link]] to walk underneath them. When Link is near them, they begin to turn red, having an angry-looking eye. Once he is underneath a Thwomp, the trap will try to crush him by crashing onto the floor.{{Ref|name=basic}}{{Ref|pg. 69|The Thwomps will crash to the floor with hero-crushing force.|''Link's Awakening Nintendo Player's Guide''}} If he simply walks under the Thwomps, it comes down onto the floor, blocking his path and possibly damaging him. As a result, Link needs to equip the [[Pegasus Boots]] to dash beneath them in order to safety get across and to avoid getting hurt.{{Ref|pg. 101|When you spot these traps, use the Pegasus Boots to Dash beneath them.|''Link's Awakening Nintendo Player's Guide''}}{{Ref|pg. 69|Use your speedy Boots to dash safely past the stone stompers.|''Link's Awakening Nintendo Player's Guide''}}


===Link's Awakening===
==''Oracle of Seasons''==
 
In ''Oracle of Seasons'', Thwomps look similar and act the same as they did in ''Link's Awakening'', the only difference being these do not turn red when [[Link (Oracle Series)#Oracle of Seasons|Link]] approaches them. Found only in the side-scrolling sections of [[Snake's Remains]], four Thwomps can be found next to each other, forming a line. Unlike in ''Link's Awakening'', Link does not need to use the [[Pegasus Seed]]s to run past the Thwomps as they do not crash onto the floor as fast as before.
Found only in [[Face Shrine]], these stone slabs wait at the ceiling of a room for their enemies to walk underneath them. Simply walking under them is not fast enough, so [[Link]] need to equip his [[Pegasus Boots]] and make a quick dash to the other side to avoid getting hurt.
 
They come in two variations: blue and red. The blue one has a big, surprised-like eye with one eye and no mouth. The red one has the angry looking eye and also with one eye and no mouth.
 
===Oracle of Seasons===
 
Thwimp look like and act the same as they did in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]''. These enemies usually appear lined up, with the line consisting of a few Thwimp. Since these enemies are so small, Link can run past them whenever they fall without worrying about them falling on him.
