'''Flophoppers''' are bug-like species of enemies introduced in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. They are sub-species of [[Swaphopper]], but unlike their cousins, they do not attack by using gravity tactics. Instead, they attack by moving around in a set area by flipping themselves around, much like a [[Bramball]]. They cannot be jumped on while their spiked helmet is exposed, so [[Mario]] must wait until they flip and their underside is exposed, a vulnerability shared with Swaphoppers. They can also be defeated by [[Fire Mario]], [[Boomerang Mario]] or [[Tanooki Mario]]. | '''Flophoppers''' are bug-like species of enemies introduced in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''.
