BACKGROUND: The Whomp King is surprisingly tough to novice players – unless you’ve already taken on his minions. He – unlike many Bosses in the game – does not obssess over some wacky new mustache. Instead, he obssesses over how no-one ever says thank you to a brick after using it to build/make something. Unlike other Whomps, you can’t jump through him. Whomp King resides at the highest point in Whomp’s Fortress. However, once Mario topples him, he is replaced by a huge tower. Wonder where the bricks came from... As a fun fact: Whomp King is the only Boss (apart from racing bosses) to not appear in Mario Kart DS.
QUOTES: “It makes me so mad! We build your houses, your castles. We pave your roads. And still you walk all over us. Do you ever say thank you? No! Well, you’re not going to wipe your feet on me! I think I’ll crush you just for fun! Do you have a problem with that? Just try to pound me, wimp! Ha!”
BATTLE PLAN:
Attack Pattern: Primarily attacks the same way as a regular Whomp.
Basic Strategies: When you stomp on his back, watch out! When he gets back up, you may slide to a lower floor of the level (purely by accident) and this will force you to restart the fight all over again.
Advanced Strategies: If you run up to the top of the Whomp King while he’s flat on the ground, you can grab on to his top edge when he gets back up and then ride around on his head while he stomps around the rooftop.   It’s not very useful, but it’s kind of fun.
