They are sentient green springboards with a square head, red eyes, and sharp teeth. Their name is a portmanteau of "hop" and the phrase "chop-chop". These enemies usually appear in groups of three or more, and reside in areas where a [[springboard]] is required to obtain a collectible, such as a [[Green Star]].

==History==
===''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''===
Hop-Chops are enemies first appearing in ''Super Mario 3D World''. They are usually encountered in groups. When players approach a Hop-Chop, it will begin to bounce toward them. Hop-Chops can be defeated by any attack. Some Hop-Chops react slower than others; these ones turn into [[Trampoline|springboard]]s when defeated, which the player can then carry and use. Usually, one Hop-Chop per group can turn into a springboard. If left as a springboard for too long, it will turn back into a Hop-Chop. This can also happen while it is carried.

===''Super Mario Maker 2''===
Hop-Chops (singularized Hop-Chops for the first time) are enemies in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. They can be placed exclusively in the ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' style. Hop-Chops are no longer are defeated when jumped on, instead acting like Trampolines initially. When given wings, Hop-Chops jump and then hover above the ground before dropping back down.
