Wallops[1] are stone enemies that appear in Super Mario 3D Land. They look like Whomps with small battlements on their heads and without arms. Their mouths resembles the mouths of Rhomps and later Grumblumps.
When the player is behind or a certain distance away from a Wallop, they will lay dormant, with their pupils unlit and their feet retreated into their bodies. Once the player is in front of a Wallop, they will attempt to block their way by mimicking Mario or Luigi's movements. They can also jump and slam the ground whenever Mario or Luigi jumps, after which, the Wallop will be unable to move for a few seconds, giving the player a chance to bypass them. By running into a direction and immediately turning the other way, Mario or Luigi can get past a Wallop without jumping.
Mario or Luigi can destroy Wallops by turning into a statue using the Statue Leaf above or below them when they jump. They make their first appearance in World 3-1; they also appear in World 6-4, World 8-6, Special 3-5, Special 6-1, Special 8-4, and Special 8-Crown.
