Profiles and statistics[edit]

  • Website description:
    • English (United States):
      Flipstrings[sic]
      Flipstings are pointy, so I can't just jump on them. If I can't get 'em to pull into their shells, they're pretty good for throwing, though.      [1]

    • Curious little creatures that crawl about floors and ceilings, Flipstings are scorpion-like baddies that like to lash out at Wario with their lengthy tails. These guys can be dangerous if left unchecked, so be quick to stun them with Earthshake Punches before finishing them off![2]
