It has been requested that this article be rewritten. Reason: it needs more detail on the buildings and Flip-Flop Folk of each floor

Flopside in the game Super Paper Mario.
Mario in front of Merlee's place in Flopside

Flopside is the mirrored counterpart to Flipside in the game Super Paper Mario. Both places' names come from the phrase "flip-flop". Flopside was created by both the Tribe of Ancients and the Tribe of Darkness as an antithesis to Flipside, in order to prevent that town from falling into ruin due to the fact that light cannot exist without darkness. The two towns offset each other, and have been in perfect balance since their creation.

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 Pit of 100 Trials, the boss of which is Shadoo. It also houses half of the Heart Pillars, which are located in the same spot in relativity to Flipside. The Mirror Hall serves as a bridge between the two towns, and 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 two 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

Flopside Tower is the highest accessible floor of Flopside. On top of the tower is a Dimensional Door leading to Castle Bleck, the setting of Chapter 8 of the game. The door appears after the final Pure Heart is put in place. On the right end is an elevator leading to the base of the tower on the second floor. Falling off of the tower makes the player land on the third floor.

Third Floor (Second Floor in PAL edition)

Like its Flipside counterpart, the third floor of Flopside has no buildings except Flopside Tower in the background. The fifth Heart Pillar is located in the east. To the west are Pete, Puck, and an elevator leading to the second floor. After the game is cleared, Nastasia can be found near the Heart Pillar.

The outer part of the third floor (seen on the left when Mario flips into 3D) is separated by fences. It can only be accessed from a pipe in the outer part of the second floor. There are several stone pillars in this area. The westernmost one can be removed with Piccolo to reveal a treasure chest containing a Nolrem Catch Card. There are also some blocks on the east. The heroes can reveal more blocks with Tippi, eventually leading to a chest with the Cooking Disk W.

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.
