TheFlopside Pit of 100 Trials is a 100-room labyrinth inSuper Paper Mario, similar to thePit of 100 Trials inPaper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. However, in this game there are two pits—one inFlopside and one inFlipside, the latter pit being called theFlipside Pit of 100 Trials. Both were created to test the forces that guard thePure Hearts. The Flopside version was used to study the powers of darkness.
Accessing the Flopside Pit is done in a manner similar to its Flipside counterpart, except the switch that opens the entrance does not appear until the Flipside Pit is cleared. Once the Flipside pit is cleared, a rift will appear above the sealed pipe leading to the pit. Ablue switch appears whenFleep activates the rift and the block opens the way to the pit.
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 makeMario 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 (ofDashell in Room 10 and of apartner fromPaper Mario every tenth room thereafter).Flimm also has a chance to appear on these rooms, selling items for different prices than they can normally be obtained for. Usually, this is 75% of its usual price, but unlike the Flipside Pit of 100 Trials, there is a chance items will cost double their typical price instead.
The final room, Room 100, is also different, instead simply being the inside of the black outline of a cube in a completely gray void. The first time the player arrives here,Shadoo speaks to them. However, Shadoo cannot be fought until the player reaches Room 100 for the second time. Upon winning the fight, eight small treasure chests will rise from the ground, containing Catch Cards of Shadoo's four forms, Mario,Peach,Bowser, andLuigi. The latter four Catch Cards are special in that they double all damage the character does, with the Mario card also providing infiniteFlip Meter.

Backgrounds[edit]
The background of the Flipside and Flopside Pits changes every 25 rooms. Each background has a mural depicting one of the Pure Hearts and a location or character associated with it, with a narrower version on one of the other walls of the room. The Flopside Pit has murals of the last 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.
The background mural ofSquirpina XIV and theSquirpians seen in rooms 1-25
The background mural ofKing Croacus I and theFloro Sapiens seen in rooms 26-50
The background mural ofSammer's Kingdom seen in rooms 51-75
