'''Flophoppers''' are enemies introduced in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. They are sub-species of [[Swaphopper]], but unlike their cousins they do not attack by using gravity tactics, instead they attack by moving around in a set area by flipping themselves around (much like a [[Bramball]]). They cannot be attacked while their spiked helmet is exposed, so [[Mario]] must wait until they flip and their underside is exposed which is vulnerable to a jump attack (this same vulnerability is shared with Swaphoppers). They can also be defeated by [[Fire Mario]].

Flophoppers are a bug-like species of enemies introduced in Super Mario 3D Land.

History

Super Mario 3D Land

Flophoppers make their debut in Super Mario 3D Land. They are sub-species of Swaphopper, but unlike their cousins they do not attack by using gravity tactics, instead they attack by moving around in a set area by flipping themselves around (much like a Bramball). They cannot be attacked while their spiked helmet is exposed, so Mario must wait until they flip and their underside is exposed which is vulnerable to a jump attack (this same vulnerability is shared with Swaphoppers). They can also be defeated by Fire Mario or Boomerang Mario.

Trivia

  • Their name is a pun of flip-flop, referencing how they flip around, and "grasshopper".
