Flomps (also calledfloating plates[1] orflipping panels[2]) areenemies inSuper Mario Galaxy 2 and itsNintendo Switchport. Their name is a portmanteau of "flip" and "Thwomp," alluding to their behavior and appearance. They are stone platforms with faces similar toBomps and spiked, green sides.
History[edit]
Super Mario Galaxy 2[edit]
Flomps mostly act as ordinary platforms, with some revolving mildly in one spot and others moving from side to side. However, at set intervals, they make a rattling sound, their faces become angry, and then they quickly flip over. IfMario orLuigi is on one of these platforms when they flip, he will be knocked high into the air. They appear in all missions of bothBowser's Lava Lair andGrandmaster Galaxy.
Mario Party: Island Tour[edit]
Flomps are obstacles in the minigameFlip Out inMario Party: Island Tour. Flomps act and look like they did inSuper Mario Galaxy 2. Flomps are used by the player characters as regular platforms to cross a chasm to the finish line, though characters that stay on a Flomp as it flips are flung three spaces backwards.
