A Wallop near Mario in Super Mario 3D Land

Wallops[1] are stone enemies that appear in Super Mario 3D Land. They look like Whomps with small battlements on their heads and without arms. Their mouths resemble the mouths of Rhomps and later Grumblumps. Their name is a pun on "wall," due to how Wallops look and behave like walls, and "wallop," which means "to make a loud crushing noise" or "a large attack or beating."

When the player is behind or a certain distance away from a Wallop, it stays dormant, with its pupils unlit and its feet retreated into its body. Once the player is in front of a Wallop, it attempts to block their way by mimicking Mario or Luigi's movements. A Wallop can also jump and slam the ground whenever Mario or Luigi jumps, after which the Wallop is unable to move for a few seconds, giving the player a chance to bypass it. By running into a direction and immediately turning the other way, Mario or Luigi can get past a Wallop without jumping.

Mario or Luigi can defeat Wallops by turning into a statue using the Statue Leaf above or below them when they jump. They make their first appearance in World 3-1; they also appear in World 6-4, World 8-6, Special 3-5, Special 6-1, Special 8-4, and Special 8-Crown.
