Editing Flopside

[[File:Flopside.png|thumb|[[Mario]] in front of [[Merlee]]'s place in Flopside]]

The main features that distinguish Flopside from Flipside are its shadowy tones, a general dilapidated look such as broken windows and pillars, and a reversal of areas, buildings, and residents. Inanimate objects are mirror images of their Flipside counterparts, and the Flopside counterparts of Flipside residents have opposite personalities. For example, [[Pook]] of Flipside loves the sea, while his Flopside counterpart, [[Puck]], prefers the sky. Also [[Howzit]] says "goooood" in Flipside and his Flopside counterpart [[Notso]] says "not so bad". Another example is the cook [[Dyllis]], [[Saffron]]'s counterpart, who mixes two items instead of simply cooking one. Generally, the ambience of Flopside is very dour and disconsolate. Flopside's music is an arrangement of Flipside's music, transposed down an octave and using different instruments and chords.

Like Flipside, Flopside contains its own [[Flopside Pit of 100 Trials|Pit of 100 Trials]], the boss of which is [[Shadoo]]. It also houses half of the [[Heart Pillar]]s, which are located in the same spot in relativity to Flipside. The Mirror Hall is supposedly a secret to all Flipside and Flopside residents aside from [[Merlon]] and his Flopside counterpart [[Nolrem]]. However, as the game progresses, the player encounters many characters that know about the other town, and [[Mort| two]] [[Helvetica| Flopside residents]] even move to Flipside.

Much later in the game during the final battle with [[Super Dimentio]], Flopside is destroyed by [[The Void]] but is restored following the destruction of the [[Chaos Heart]].

==Features==

===Flopside Tower===

===Third Floor (Second Floor in PAL edition)===

The outer part, accessible from a pipe on the second floor, consist of several stone pillars. The westernmost one can be removed with [[Piccolo]] to reveal a treasure chest containing a [[Nolrem]] [[Catch Card]]. There are also three blocks in a row on the east. By using [[Tippi]] to uncover a path of invisible blocks leading upwards, the player will be led to a chest with the [[Cooking Disk W]].

===Second Floor (First Floor in PAL edition)===

The Second Floor Outskirts is linked to the outer part via a narrow path visible in 3D. It consists of some stone pillars and a pit. A giant yellow block can be found in the west; breaking it reveals a pipe to the First Floor Outskirts. (If the heroes access the First Floor Outskirts first, the yellow block will block the pipe there instead.) In the east there is a stone-colored heart floating in the air; it becomes the eighth [[Heart Pillar]] after Chapter 7 is cleared.

===First Floor (Ground Floor in PAL edition)===

The two parts of the First Floor Outskirts are linked by a narrow path visible in 3D. The inner one consists of a pipe to the Second Floor Outskirts in the west, a pipe to the B1 Outskirts in the east, two pits, some stone pillars, two [[Squog]]s, and a sign suggesting flipping into 3D if the hero is stumped. The outer one is blocked by some stones; the hero must use [[Dottie]] to pass it, however it is also passable by clipping with [[Carrie]]. The outer part consists of a [[Squog]], a [[Squig]], and some stones, including one which is really a giant yellow block in disguise. Breaking it reveals a big red switch on the ground which, when pressed, makes the sixth Heart Pillar appear.

===B1===

The B1 Outskirts consist of the seventh Heart Pillar beyond a high wall, a pipe to the B2 Outskirts, a giant yellow block, and a pipe to the First Floor Outskirts. Breaking the yellow block removes the corresponding block in Flipside, allowing the heroes to collect [[The InterChet]] [[Catch Card]] there. Finally, by jumping onto the high wall near the Heart Pillar and flipping into 3D, the hero is able to go to the back area of the B1 Outskirts, which has a treasure chest holding a [[Piccolo]] Catch Card in the west.

===B2===

The B2 Outskirts consist of a giant yellow block in the west, a pipe to the B1 Outskirts, some pits, a [[Squig]] and a [[Squog]], as well as two block platforms. Hitting the yellow block reveals a blue switch which, when pressed, uncovers the secret area in the west. The area has a big treasure chest holding a [[Power Plus (Super Paper Mario)|Power Plus]]. The pits lead to a dungeon where a [[Barry]] Catch Card can be found. The secret passage mentioned above is on the higher block platform; it can be accessed via the lower platform and hidden blocks which can be revealed by [[Tippi]]. Alternatively, [[Luigi]]'s jump ability can be used.

==Trivia==

*On the Flopside ground floor, the elevators have a different animation than other elevators in [[Flipside]] and Flopside. While other elevators fill in with white and lose white from the bottom, the ones on the Flopside ground floor fill in with white and lose white from the sides.
