He appears as simply a larger Whomp, resembling a [[Big Whomp]] which would later appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' When he is confronted on top of [[Whomp's Fortress]] in ''Super Mario 64'', he makes a short speech, then engages [[Mario]] in battle. Like most Whomps, the Whomp King attacks by falling face-first in an attempt to crush the player. While he is flat on the ground, the player must [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]] his back three times to defeat him, causing him to release a [[Power Star]]. A [[glitch]] makes it possible to [[jump]] and time a Ground Pound in midair so that the Whomp King's attack goes harmlessly through Mario, who will then land on his back. For some reason, if the player [[Wall Jump|wall-kick]]s into the Whomp King and jumps away from him before the fight, he talks to the player and initiates the fight as soon as they land. However, the battle ends seconds later, since Mario is not allowed to move very far from a boss he is fighting with. | The Whomp King, also named the '''Slab King'''<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (AU) Issue #42, page 23.</ref> or the '''Giant Whomp''',<ref>(February 24, 1998).

In the remake, ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', the Whomp King has undergone slight changes in his appearance. He now wears a golden crown, which distinguishes him easily from the other Whomps, and his arms and feet look more as if they are made of rock.

He now wears a golden crown, which distinguishes him easily from the other Whomps, and his arms and feet look more as if they are made of rock. His role is essentially the same as in ''Super Mario 64'', though he can no longer be defeated via the aforementioned glitch. | ||
