'''Wallops''' are enemies introduced in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. They are a [[Whomp]] sub-species shaped like a wall with black eyes and yellow pupils, with mouths and feet.

These stone creatures look like [[Whomp]]s with small battlements on their heads and without arms. Their mouths resemble the mouths of [[Rhomp]]s and later [[Grumblump]]s. Like Whomps, Wallops seem to be inspired by the Japanese mythological creature {{iw|wikipedia|nurikabe}}, which block the path of travelers, just as Wallops do, but Wallops also bear a striking resemblance to [[wikirby:Blocky|Blocky]] from the [[wikirby:Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]]. Their name is a pun on "wall," due to how Wallops look and behave like walls, and "wallop," which means "to make a loud crushing noise" or "a large attack or beating." When the player is behind or a certain distance away from a Wallop, it stays dormant, with its pupils unlit and its feet retreated into its body. Once [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] is in front of a Wallop, it attempts to block his way by mimicking his movements. A Wallop also jumps and slams the ground whenever Mario or Luigi [[jump]]s, after which the Wallop is unable to move for a few seconds, giving the player a chance to bypass it. By [[dash|running]] in a direction and immediately turning the other way, Mario or Luigi can get past a Wallop without jumping. A Wallop can be defeated only from either Mario or Luigi [[Statue Mario|turning into a statue]] using the [[Statue Leaf]] above or below the Wallop when it jumps.

[[File:SuperMario3DLand 3-1.jpg|thumb|left|A Wallop near Mario in ''Super Mario 3D Land''.]]
Wallops make their first appearance in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', where they are found in many places of various themes. They block [[Mario]]'s way, walking in front of him and taking the same directions Mario goes, preventing him to proceed past it. Wallops can also jump whenever Mario jumps and then slam the ground. After jumping, there will be a few seconds in which the Wallop will recover, giving Mario or [[Luigi]] a chance to pass by it. When the player is a certain distance away from or behind a Wallop, they will be in a state of dormancy, in which their pupils are no longer lit and their feet have retreated into their bodies, until the player is in front of them. Mario or Luigi can destroy them by standing below them when they jump as [[Statue Mario]] or [[Statue Mario|Statue Luigi]], or turning into a statue above them. They make their first appearance in [[World 3-1 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 3-1]]; they also appear in [[World 6-4 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 6-4]], [[World 8-6 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 8-6]], [[Special 3-5]], [[Special 6-1]], [[Special 8-4]], and [[Special 8-Crown]].

Wallops[1] are enemies in Super Mario 3D Land. These stone creatures look like Whomps with small battlements on their heads and without arms. Their mouths resemble the mouths of Rhomps and later Grumblumps. Like Whomps, Wallops seem to be inspired by the Japanese mythological creature nurikabe, which block the path of travelers, just as Wallops do, but Wallops also bear a striking resemblance to Blocky from the Kirby series. Their name is a pun on "wall," due to how Wallops look and behave like walls, and "wallop," which means "to make a loud crushing noise" or "a large attack or beating." When the player is behind or a certain distance away from a Wallop, it stays dormant, with its pupils unlit and its feet retreated into its body. Once Mario or Luigi is in front of a Wallop, it attempts to block his way by mimicking his movements. A Wallop also jumps and slams the ground whenever Mario or Luigi jumps, after which the Wallop is unable to move for a few seconds, giving the player a chance to bypass it. By running in a direction and immediately turning the other way, Mario or Luigi can get past a Wallop without jumping. A Wallop can be defeated only from either Mario or Luigi turning into a statue using the Statue Leaf above or below the Wallop when it jumps. Wallops appear in World 3-1, World 6-4, World 8-6, Special 3-5, Special 6-1, Special 8-4, and Special 8-Crown.

Although no regular Wallops return in Super Mario 3D World, the game introduces a spiky variant known as Walleyes, which also attempt to block the player but cannot jump.
