'''Flophoppers''' are bug-like species of 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]], [[Boomerang Mario]], or [[Tanooki Mario]].

Flophoppers are planned to make a return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', their first appearance in the side-scrolling games. They'll probably act the same as in ''Super Mario 3D Land''.

==Trivia==
*Their name is a pun of ''flip-flop'', referencing how they flip around, and "grasshopper".

These bug-like creatures are a species of [[Swaphopper]], but unlike their cousins, Flophoppers do not attack by using gravity tactics, but by moving around in a set area by flipping themselves around instead, similarly to a [[Bramball]]. Flophoppers cannot be jumped on while their spiked helmet is exposed, so [[Mario]] must wait until they flip and their underside is exposed, a vulnerability shared with Swaphoppers. They can also be defeated by [[Fire Mario]], [[Boomerang Mario]] or [[Tanooki Mario]].
