Fast Thwomps are enemies appearing in the Super Mario Galaxy series. These enemies are basically Thwomps infused with the power of a Fast Foe Comet.
Behaviour[]
Fast Thwomps make their only appearances in the Beach Bowl Galaxy (on the Cyclone Stone planet in the mission Fast Foes on the Cyclone Stone) of Super Mario Galaxy and the Stone Cyclone Galaxy of Super Mario Galaxy 2. Their behaviour is nearly identical to normal cousins, but the Fast Foe Comet has made them twice as fast as their normal counterparts. They cannot be destroyed. In Super Mario Galaxy 2, Fast Thwomps have their speed increased to quadruple the standard Thwomp, making them much harder to deal with. However, Mario can flip a nearby switch to turn a Fast Thwomp into a "Slow Thwomp", whose speed is 1/8 that of the standard Thwomp.
