The technique is used by pressing {{button|wii|a}} while on the ground. If Mario is no longer standing on ground after Flipping, he has the chance to jump once in midair and land on any nearby terrain. One segment of the Flip Meter drains for every two seconds spent in 3D, and the meter gradually refills while in 2D. If the meter runs out, it deals Mario one damage and instantly refills without forcing him back into 2D. Taking damage or using a healing item also instantly refills the Flip Meter, and once Mario collects his own [[Catch Card]], the meter will never drain. | The technique is used by pressing {{button|wii|a}} while on the ground.

Internally, levels in ''Super Paper Mario'' are segmented depthwise into panes. In 2D, everything in the same pane as the player character has its hitbox extruded, and the character may be snapped to a certain depth within the pane. The camera also uses a front view in {{wp|parallel projection}}, and panes far in the distance | Internally, levels in ''Super Paper Mario'' are segmented depthwise into panes. In 2D, everything in the same pane as the player character has its hitbox extruded, and the character may be snapped to a certain depth within the pane. The camera also uses a front view in {{wp|parallel projection}}, and panes far in the distance aren't visible. In 3D, the camera gains {{wp|Perspective (graphical)|perspective}} and rotates 90° clockwise horizontally, and hitbox extrusion and snapping are disabled. Objects are loaded based on distance from the player character, instead of whether they share a pane, and some objects too near or far from the camera will lose their textures and become translucent.<ref>aldelaro5 (June 2, 2016).

While Flipping into 3D solves many problems, it can also complicate tasks. For example, a straight line of [[? Block]]s in 2D can turn out to be placed at various depths in 3D. There are also flat objects, such as certain [[Block]]s, that can only be interacted with in 2D or 3D, being perpendicular to the camera and intangible when the player character is flipped into the other dimension. | While Flipping into 3D solves many problems, it can also complicate tasks.
