The "flap" part of its name refers to its bird-like appearance, and the "tack" part refers to the sharp spike on its head. The enemy's name is also a pun on "flapjack," another name for a pancake, referring to the enemy's oblate body and its method of attack by flipping upside down. Flaptacks look like oversized blue birds with yellow spikes on their heads. When a Flaptack spots [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]], it floats around him for a while. After a few seconds, it tries to stab him with its spike on its head. If it misses, it will be stuck on the ground, defenseless. A Flaptack still in the air can be defeated by [[Backward Somersault|backward-somersaulting]] and [[spin]]ning into it, or automatically by luring its slam attack into a [[pit]]. Flaptacks give three [[Star Bit]]s when spun and a [[coin]] when [[jump]]ed on. These enemies can also destroy regular clouds as well as [[Cloud Mario]] or Cloud Luigi's clouds with their spikes. Flaptacks appear in early galaxies such as the [[Fluffy Bluff Galaxy]] and [[Cloudy Court Galaxy]], but they also appear in later galaxies such as the [[Flash Black Galaxy]]. | | A '''Flaptack''' is a type of enemy in the game ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''.
