'''Flomps''' (also called '''floating plates'''<ref> | '''Flomps''' (also called '''floating plates'''<ref>Browne, Catherine. ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 106.</ref> or '''flipping panels'''<ref>Browne, Catherine. ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 272.</ref>) are [[Thwomp]]-like creatures appearing in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. Their name is a portmanteau of "flip" and "Thwomp," alluding to their behavior and appearance. They appear as green platforms with spikes on their sides and have similar faces to [[Bomp]]s. | ||

Flomps | For the most part, Flomps act as ordinary platforms, with some revolving mildly in one spot and others moving from side to side. However, at set intervals, they make a rattling sound, their faces become angry, and then they quickly flip over. If [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] is on one of these platforms when they flip, he will be knocked high into the air. They appear only in [[Bowser's Lava Lair]] and the [[Grandmaster Galaxy]]. | ||

Flomps | Flomps make a reappearance in ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'', acting and looking like they did in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''. They appear in the minigame [[Flip Out]], where players must use them as well as regular platforms to cross a chasm to the finish line; characters that stay on a Flomp as it flips are flung three spaces backwards. | ||
