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)
The third floor of Flopside consists of two parts. The inner part consists of an elevator leading to the second floor on the west and the fifth Heart Pillar on the east. Puck and Pete can be seen walking on the road. After the game is cleared, Nastasia can be found near the Heart Pillar. An O'Chunks Catch Card can be revealed by buying Map 5 from Flamm.
The outer part, accessible from a pipe on the second floor, consist of several stone pillars. The westernmost one can be removed with Piccolo to reveal a treasure chest containing a Nolrem Catch Card. There are also three blocks in a row on the east. By using Tippi to uncover a path of invisible blocks leading upwards, the player will be led 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.
