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.
