Flomp

Template:Species-infobox Flomps (also called floating plates or flipping panels) are a Thwomp-like creature appearing in the game Super Mario Galaxy 2. Their name is a pun on "flop", alluding to their behavior. They appear as a green platform with spikes on their sides and have a similar face to a Bomp. They move from side to side. At first glance, they seem like ordinary platforms, but after a few seconds, they make a rattle sound, their face will change to an angry face and they will then quickly flip over. If Mario or Luigi is on one of these platforms when they flip, he will be knocked high into the air. They appear in only two galaxies: Bowser's Lava Lair and the Grandmaster Galaxy.

Flomps make a reappearance in Mario Party: Island Tour, acting and looking like they did in Super Mario Galaxy 2. They appear in the minigame Flip Out.
