The Flip Meter (also called Flip Gauge) is a meter in Super Paper Mario and Paper Mario: Color Splash. When Mario uses his Flip move, it will start decreasing every two seconds in Super Paper Mario or every second in Paper Mario: Color Splash.
History[edit]
Super Paper Mario[edit]
In Super Paper Mario, when the meter is empty, Mario will lose one HP, and the meter will immediately fully refill. If Mario flips to 2-D, then the meter will slowly refill, but it does not need to be full for Mario to flip back to 3-D. The Flip Meter only appears in 3-D or when it is refilling. It will also fully refill if the heroes recover HP through an item.
If the heroes collect the Mario Catch Card in the Flopside Pit of 100 Trials, the Flip Meter will not decrease as long as they are in possession of it, enabling Mario to stay in 3-D for an unlimited amount of time.
Paper Mario: Color Splash[edit]
- “The only thing is...I can only help you hold this perspective for a little bit at a time. Like...10 seconds.”
- —Huey, Paper Mario: Color Splash
In Paper Mario: Color Splash, the meter has an appearance similar to the timer featured in Super Mario Bros. 3 and starts at 10 units. It does not show up when in 2-D mode, as well. When it is empty, however, Mario does not lose any HP, but is instead forced to return to the 2-D perspective. Furthermore, it is completely filled as soon as Mario returns to said perspective.
