TheFlipside Pit of 100 Trials is a 100-room labyrinth inSuper Paper Mario, similar to thePit of 100 Trials seen inPaper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. However, in this game, there are two pits – one inFlipside and one inFlopside, the latter of which is called theFlopside Pit of 100 Trials. The switch that opens the Flipside Pit is located above the entrance, which is sealed by blocks. After gainingBoomer, one can go to the lowest level on the outskirts of Flipside. After looking around withTippi, the player can reveal a route to a bunch of blocks. They can then haveMario 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. (The location is also hinted at byGarson.) Alternatively,Luigi can simply hit the switch by doing asuper jump.
Most rooms of the Pit are randomly generated, containing an assortment of lines of solid blocks, one entrance door that immediately disappears, one locked door, and possibly pairs ofWarp Pipes on opposite sides of the room. The possible locations of each of these elements appear in each room as faint, transparent images; this, as well as the solid black appearance of the objects, is a reference to segmentedliquid-crystal displays like that of theGame & Watch series. Even when solid, these objects are flat, soflipping will make Mario fall to the bottom of the room. Each room is populated with enemies, a random one of which will be holding thePit Key that unlocks the door to the next room. The player has five minutes on each floor; if they run out of time, they will receive an instantGame Over.
Every tenth room is instead a smaller rest area with no enemies nor a time limit. In addition to the door to the next room, they contain a pipe back up out of the Pit and a largetreasure chest containing a goldCatch Card of aPixl.Flimm also has a chance to appear in these rooms, selling items for 75% of their normal cost.
The final room, Room 100, is also different, instead being a wide, windy area with abstract patterned ground that resembles sand when viewed from a side-on perspective.Wracktail is fought in this room as the final challenge of the Pit, after which another large chest containingDashell appears. Opening this chest, in turn, will unveil the Warp Pipe leading out of the Pit.

Each background has a mural depicting one of thePure Hearts and a location or character associated with it, with a narrower version on one of the other walls of the room. The Flipside Pit has murals of the first four Pure Hearts, and their narrower versions can be seen by flipping.
The rest areas of the Pit do not contain either version of that section of the Pit's mural, but do change to reflect each background's differently colored bricks.
