The Flipside Pit of 100 Trials in Super Paper Mario.

The Flipside Pit of 100 Trials is a one hundred-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 Flipside and one in Flopside, the latter of which is called the Flopside Pit of 100 Trials. Both were created to test the forces that guard the Pure Hearts. The Flipside version was created to study the powers of the Pure Hearts. The switch that opens the Flipside version is located above the entrance.

In the Pit, a random enemy in each room holds a key to a locked door that proceeds to the next room. Every tenth room, a valuable item awaits. Wracktail is the boss waiting at the end of the pit. These pits are designed to look like the LCD screen of an old Game & Watch system.

Both pits have artwork on the walls depicting a Pure Heart and where it is found, which changes every 25 rooms. For example, Rooms 1-25 have a Pure Heart paired with Flipside and Flopside (a reference to Mario's first Pure Heart), while Rooms 51-75 have Merlee and her mansion, with the corresponding Pure Heart. Also, Rooms 76-99 show Fort Francis, with the Pure Heart inside.

One should not enter the pit unprepared. Inexperienced players should wait until they have completed Chapter 5 at the earliest, and should stock up on many healing items before entering. Emergency Rations are ideal for the Pit, as they are inexpensive and heal 50 HP, anywhere else in the game they only restore 10 HP. Peach and Boomer are the best character choices for the Pit, since Peach can defend against all attacks for any amount of time and Boomer can be used to attack any type of enemy in the Pit.

The walls of the pit are covered with faint images of doors, which each represent the possible location of any door in the pit. This is accurate for the visual LCD style of the pit, as many devices with this type of screen rely on faint background shapes being filled to appear as images. The rooms in the Pit switch around every time the Pit is entered. This indicates there may be more than 100 rooms in the Pit, although the player only needs to go through 100 rooms to reach Wracktail. The enemies in the Pit always start off easy in the earlier floors, then gradually get stronger. The list below is accurate in describing the positions of enemies.

The Flipside Pit Glitch

The pit is intended to be inaccessible (except by way of Flipside Outskirts) until the player has Luigi, but there is a glitch that can grant the player access before having him. The glitch involves setting Boomer on the ground, and switching to Thoreau. If the player times it right, Boomer will stay visible until he explodes. The player must then have Thoreau pick Boomer up and put him on top of the high ledge. If he is thrown as far back as possible, he will blow up the switch. Also, after gaining Boomer, one can simply go to the lowest level on the outskirts of Flipside. If they look around with Tippi, one can reveal a route to a bunch of blocks. Mario can then flip on the blocks and a secret passage will appear, which will lead to the ledge with the blue block to open the way to the Pit.
