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.
