===''Paper Mario'' series===

====''Paper Mario: Color Splash''====
In ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'', a Big Thwomp covered in [[Darkmess]] appears on the back of the [[Giant Squashette]].
[[File:PMCS Thwomp.gif|thumb|left|150px|Big Thwomp sprite from ''Paper Mario: Color Splash'']]
Four Big Thwomps made out of cardboard appear during ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]''. Like many enemies, they use their designs from the main series rather than their design from the first three ''Paper Mario'' games. However, they lack their red irises, except for the one during the end credits.
 
The first one is found in the battle against [[Iggy Koopa]] at [[The Golden Coliseum]], where if the [[Battle Card (Paper Mario: Color Splash)#Bone Thing|Bone Thing card]] is used too early, Iggy summons a Big Thwomp which deals 999 HP of damage, resulting in a [[Game Over]].<ref name="Using the Bone Thing Early During the Iggy Battle">[https://youtu.be/KZ9xLcs5Jy0]</ref> The second one crushes the [[Sunset Express]] outside of the [[Kiwano Temple]]. The third one appears in the railway tracks of Sunset Express, and it needs to be awakened with the [[Battle Card (Paper Mario: Color Splash)#Megaphone|Megaphone Thing card]] so the train can continue its way to [[Starlight Cape]]. Finally, the last one appears in the background of Starlight Cape.
 
[[Toad (species)|Toads]] refer to the Big Thwomps as "rockslides".
 
====''Paper Mario: The Origami King''====
[[File:Thwomp PMTOK sprite.png|thumb|A Big Thwomp in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'']]
In ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', a Big Thwomp in the same design as in ''Paper Mario: Color Splash'' may randomly appear after buying a fortune in [[Picnic Road]], where it will crush Mario and damage him by 20 HP. Another Big Thwomp appears during the third stage of the [[Trial of Courage]] where the player must press {{button|ns|a}} after the bottom of its stone body passes the arrow but before it hits Mario.
 
===''Super Mario Party''===
In ''[[Super Mario Party]]'', Big Thwomps can appear alongside regular Thwomps in the minigame [[Follow the Money]]. They are obstacles, and cause the player to lose coins if they crush them.
