#thwimp

Name: Thwimp

Debut: Super Mario World

A baby! A baby! A little baby! 

Thwimp is.. a wimpy Thwomp. They may be tiny, but you shouldn’t underestimate them for that: this small size makes them considerably more mobile, and they jump in arcs, making them a lot trickier! And, I’ve gotta say, I absolutely adore that little scowl they’ve got. It looks like they really want to be taken seriously, but you still just wanna pinch their little cheeks! Well, if rocks had cheeks that could be pinched. Maybe if you’re very strong.

Well, I’m sure that’s all well and good, but what is one measly game appearance REALLY worth in this day and age? What’s the point of even having an enemy if they haven’t appeared as recently as, say, 2012? Well, behold! Thwimps make their grand return in New Super Mario Bros. U! I’m sure they heard the massive fan-demand. They know what the people want, and the people wanted Thwimp.

Name: Whimp (Maybe?)

Debut: Super Mario Galaxy 2

Of course, there’s no way I could cover Thwimp with at least bringing up their little cousin, the Whimp. Or at least I hope that’s what they’re called... turns out they’re never actually given an official name, but come on. If these guys were named anything other than Whimp, it would be a tragedy!

Whimps will only pop up in the Whomp King battle, in the Throwback Galaxy... of course, even though this is an old fight, these guys are brand new! But they’re fragile little fellas, and crumble to pieces as soon as they try to attack you... and if they don’t do that, they’ll be destroyed by the King’s shockwaves!
