Thwomp
From Mario Kart Racing Wiki
A Thwomp is an enemy in most Mario games. It floats in the air, and after a while, it crashes into the ground. In Mario Kart, it does the same to crush or stop racers.
Thwomps always appear in Bowser's Castle. In one instance, they appeared on Rainbow Road.

[edit] Super Mario Kart
Thwomps appeared in each Bowser Castle track. These Thwomps are the first to not feature spikes. They became "active" on the second lap. Blinking Thwomps appeared on Rainbow Road. These unique Thwomps caused racers to spin out on contact, as if they are using a star.
[edit] Mario Kart 64
These Thwomps were based on their appearances in Super Mario 64, and were only seen once. They could make racers going at a high enough speed spin out.
[edit] Mario Kart: Super Circuit
The Thwomps in this game behaved similarly to the way they did in Super Mario Kart. They appear in all four Bowser Castle tracks.
[edit] Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
Thwomps appear in Bowser's Castle. They are much bigger than their previous incarnations. These become standard in the following games.
