//Liquids nor gases can stop thwomps, so putting air under it would not work.

(Thwomp simply smashes through the air since it's just air. 10-second stun for all guys on the ground/wall.)

Stan: *gets knocked over & vomits*

Kyle: *jumps at the same time the thwomp smashed the ground, avoiding the shock* Sheesh-

(He notices the spikeweeds flipped helplessly on their spiny backs, their roots flailing in the air. They're not exempt from the shockwave!)

Kyle: Oh! *jumps on a Spiny, which spins into an unshielded arcade machine*

(CRASH! KABOOM! The shell then ricochets off of the wall back at Kyle, who leaps on the sliding spiny to stop it, then picks it up.)

//You know what, I remembered something...I'll have Kyle do the honors & say what I remember.

Kyle: You know what they say. Everything (at least, almost everything) in SMB can be beaten *Hurls the spiny at the boosted thwomp as it was going back up, shattering its rock armor. Kyle hurls a second Spiny, which shatters the thwomp* BY A SHELL!

//Indeed, I don't recall an enemy (except bosses & Munchers) in the main sidescrolling platformer Mario series that can't be beaten by a koopa, buzzy beetle, or spiny shell. It was proven in a real (not custom) level that a thwomp can be knocked off the stage by just a shell. So there, I guess the thwomps can now be beaten...that is, if you can find any shell around...

(And just in time, the Spinies flipped themselves back up on their roots. The 10 seconds were over, but all will remain dizzy for 10 more seconds. Stan walked uneasily to his Kyle, the iceberg lettuce turning as green as the Cabbage-pult.)

Stan: I saw what you did BLEEEEUGH!!!

Kyle: Whoa, don't vomit on my clothes, dude! Great, they're no longer flipped, run! *both run as the spinies chase them both, but the spikeweeds run in a zigzag manner due to the dizziness effect*

Cartlan: *still recovering from the shock, gets chased by the Lakitu, the Tree Cactus's cloud spitting boosted Cactus thorns at him* SCREW THIS, I WANT TO GO HOME!
