(→‎Backgrounds: The Flopside narrow murals can be seen in-game. Flipping in Flipside moves the camera to the left, while in Flopside it moves to the right. This rule even applies in their Pits, and the narrow murals were correctly placed so they can be seen in the Flopside Pit.)

The '''Flopside Pit of 100 Trials''' is a 100-room labyrinth in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' just like in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. However in this game there are two pits – one in [[Flopside]] and one in [[Flipside]] called the [[Flipside Pit of 100 Trials]]. Both were created to test the forces that guard the [[Pure Heart]]s. The Flopside version was used to study the powers of darkness. Accessing the Flopside version is the same as its Flipside counterpart, but the switch that opens the entrance does not appear until the Flipside version is cleared.
[[File:SPM Flopside Pit of 100 Trials.png|300px|thumb|Flopside Pit of 100 Trials]]
The '''Flopside Pit of 100 Trials''' is a 100-room labyrinth in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', similar to the [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. However, in this game there are two pits - one in [[Flopside]], and one in [[Flipside]], the latter pit being called the [[Flipside Pit of 100 Trials]]. Both were created to test the forces that guard the [[Pure Heart]]s. The Flopside version was used to study the powers of darkness.


In the Pit a random enemy in each room holds a key to a locked door that proceeds to the next room. Every 10th room, a valuable item awaits. [[Shadoo]] is the boss of the pit.  The pit is designed to look like the LCD screen of an old [[Game & Watch]] System.
Accessing the Flopside Pit is done in a manner similar to its Flipside counterpart, except the switch that opens the entrance does not appear until the Flipside Pit is cleared. Once the Flipside pit is cleared, a rift will appear above the sealed pipe leading to the pit. A [[! Switch|blue switch]] appears when [[Fleep]] activates the rift and the block opens the way to the pit.


Both pits have artwork on the walls depicting a Pure Heart and where it is found, which changes every 25 rooms. For example, in the Flopside pit, Rooms 26-50 have a Pure Heart paired with [[King Croacus I]] and [[Floro Sapien|Floro Sapiens]] (a reference to Mario's sixth Pure Heart).
Most rooms of the Pit are randomly generated, containing an assortment of lines of solid blocks, one entrance door that immediately disappears, one locked door, and possibly pairs of [[Warp Pipe]]s on opposite sides of the room. The possible locations of each of these elements appear in each room as faint, transparent images; this, as well as the solid black appearance of the objects, is a reference to segmented {{wp|liquid-crystal display}}s like that of the [[Game & Watch]] series. Even when solid, these objects are flat, so [[flip]]ping will make [[Mario]] fall to the bottom of the room. Each room is populated with enemies, a random one of which will be holding the [[Pit Key]] that unlocks the door to the next room. The player has five minutes on each floor; if they run out of time, they will receive an instant [[Game Over]].


The enemies in the Flopside Pit are far more dangerous than their Flipside counterparts. It is recommended that first-time players avoid the Pit until the climax of the game at the very least. By that point they should have a fairly good ammount of [[Heart Point|HP]] and have enough experience to deal with the enemies. As with the Flipside Pit, healing items are strongly encouraged.
Every tenth room is instead a smaller rest area with no enemies nor a time limit. In addition to the door to the next room, they contain a pipe back up out of the Pit and a large [[treasure chest]] containing a gold [[Catch Card]] (of [[Dashell]] in Room 10 and of a [[party member|partner]] from ''[[Paper Mario]]'' every tenth room thereafter). [[Flimm]] also has a chance to appear on these rooms, selling items for different prices than they can normally be obtained for. Usually, this is 75% of its usual price, but unlike the Flipside Pit of 100 Trials, there is a chance items will cost double their typical price instead.


=== The Rooms and Enemies of the Pit ===
The final room, Room 100, is also different, instead simply being the inside of the black outline of a cube in a completely gray void. The first time the player arrives here, [[Shadoo]] speaks to them. However, Shadoo cannot be fought until the player reaches Room 100 for the second time. Upon winning the fight, eight small treasure chests will rise from the ground, containing Catch Cards of Shadoo's four forms, Mario, [[Princess Peach|Peach]], [[Bowser]], and [[Luigi]]. The latter four Catch Cards are special in that they double all damage the character does, with the Mario card also providing infinite [[Flip Meter]].

“EXTREME DANGER! Stay out! -Flopside City Hall-”
Sign, Super Paper Mario
Flopside Pit of 100 Trials
Flopside Pit of 100 Trials

The Flopside Pit of 100 Trials is a 100-room labyrinth in Super Paper Mario, similar to the Pit of 100 Trials in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. However, in this game there are two pits - one in Flopside, and one in Flipside, the latter pit being called the Flipside Pit of 100 Trials. Both were created to test the forces that guard the Pure Hearts. The Flopside version was used to study the powers of darkness.

Accessing the Flopside Pit is done in a manner similar to its Flipside counterpart, except the switch that opens the entrance does not appear until the Flipside Pit is cleared. Once the Flipside pit is cleared, a rift will appear above the sealed pipe leading to the pit. A blue switch appears when Fleep activates the rift and the block opens the way to the pit.

Most rooms of the Pit are randomly generated, containing an assortment of lines of solid blocks, one entrance door that immediately disappears, one locked door, and possibly pairs of Warp Pipes on opposite sides of the room. The possible locations of each of these elements appear in each room as faint, transparent images; this, as well as the solid black appearance of the objects, is a reference to segmented liquid-crystal displays like that of the Game & Watch series. Even when solid, these objects are flat, so flipping will make Mario fall to the bottom of the room. Each room is populated with enemies, a random one of which will be holding the Pit Key that unlocks the door to the next room. The player has five minutes on each floor; if they run out of time, they will receive an instant Game Over.

Every tenth room is instead a smaller rest area with no enemies nor a time limit. In addition to the door to the next room, they contain a pipe back up out of the Pit and a large treasure chest containing a gold Catch Card (of Dashell in Room 10 and of a partner from Paper Mario every tenth room thereafter). Flimm also has a chance to appear on these rooms, selling items for different prices than they can normally be obtained for. Usually, this is 75% of its usual price, but unlike the Flipside Pit of 100 Trials, there is a chance items will cost double their typical price instead.

The final room, Room 100, is also different, instead simply being the inside of the black outline of a cube in a completely gray void. The first time the player arrives here, Shadoo speaks to them. However, Shadoo cannot be fought until the player reaches Room 100 for the second time. Upon winning the fight, eight small treasure chests will rise from the ground, containing Catch Cards of Shadoo's four forms, Mario, Peach, Bowser, and Luigi. The latter four Catch Cards are special in that they double all damage the character does, with the Mario card also providing infinite Flip Meter.

Backgrounds[edit]

It has been requested that more images be uploaded for this section. Remove this notice only after the additional images have been added. Specifics: Narrower mural versions

The background of the Flipside and Flopside Pits changes every 25 rooms. Each background has a mural depicting one of the Pure Hearts and a location or character associated with it, with a narrower version on one of the other walls of the room. The Flopside Pit has murals of the last four Pure Hearts, and their narrower versions can be seen by flipping.

The rest areas of the Pit do not contain either version of that section of the Pit's mural, but do change to reflect each background's differently colored bricks.
