'''Wallops'''<ref> | '''Wallops'''<ref>von Esmarch, Nick. ''Super Mario 3D Land'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 14.</ref> are stone enemies in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. They look like [[Whomp]]s with small battlements on their heads and without arms. Their mouths resemble the mouths of [[Rhomp]]s and later [[Grumblump]]s. Like Whomps, Wallops seem to be inspired by the Japanese mythological creature {{wp|nurikabe}}, which block the path of travelers, just as Wallops do, but Wallops also bear a striking resemblance to [[wikirby:Blocky|Blocky]] from the [[wikirby:Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]]. Their name is a pun on "wall," due to how Wallops look and behave like walls, and "wallop," which means "to make a loud crushing noise" or "a large attack or beating." | ||
Wallops first appear in [[World 3-1 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 3-1]]; they also appear in [[World 6-4 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 6-4]], [[World 8-6 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 8-6]], [[Special 3-5]], [[Special 6-1]], [[Special 8-4]], and lastly [[Special 8-Crown]]. When the player is behind or a certain distance away from a Wallop, it stays dormant, with its pupils unlit and its feet retreated into its body. Once [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] is in front of a Wallop, it attempts to block his way by mimicking his movements. A Wallop also jumps and slams the ground whenever Mario or Luigi [[jump]]s, after which the Wallop is unable to move for a few seconds, giving the player a chance to bypass it. By [[dash|running]] in a direction and immediately turning the other way, Mario or Luigi can get past a Wallop without jumping. A Wallop can be defeated only from either Mario or Luigi [[Statue Mario|turning into a statue]] using the [[Statue Leaf]] above or below the Wallop when it jumps. | |||
Although no regular Wallops return in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', the game introduces a spiky variant known as [[Walleye]]s, which also attempt to block the player but cannot jump. | Although no regular Wallops return in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', the game introduces a spiky variant known as [[Walleye]]s, which also attempt to block the player but cannot jump. | ||
