Relatives

Flomps (also called floating plates[1] or flipping panels[2]) are enemies in Super Mario Galaxy 2. Their name is a portmanteau of "flip" and "Thwomp," alluding to their behavior and appearance. They are stone platforms with faces similar to Bomps and spiked, green sides.

History[edit]

Super Mario Galaxy 2[edit]

Mario on the Whomp Lava Planet in Bowser's Lava Lair
Several Flomps forming the path across the lava planet

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. If Mario or Luigi is on one of these platforms when they flip, he will be knocked high into the air. They appear only in Bowser's Lava Lair and the Grandmaster Galaxy.

Appearances[edit]

  • Baseline sprite of the Star Pointer in Super Mario Galaxy. marks missions where Flomps are completely absent.
  • Mission icon from Super Mario Galaxy marks missions where Flomps are loaded and may be visible but cannot be encountered directly.

Mario Party: Island Tour[edit]

Flomps are obstacles in the minigame Flip Out in Mario Party: Island Tour. Flomps act and look like they did in Super 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.
