Flipside first appeared in Super
Paper Mario. Flipside is the
central town for the game,
serving as a place that hosts
the Pure Heart Pillars and leads
Mario to other dimensions.
At the start of Super Paper
Mario, Flipside is the first
place Mario visits. He's greeted
by Merlon, the resident of
Flipside that knows all about
the Light Prognosticus. He
explains that Mario has landed
on Flipside Tower, where the
doors to all worlds are found.
Back on the first floor, Merlon
led Mario to his house and
explained the situation. After
giving Mario a Pure Heat, he
instructed Mario to place it in
the first Pure Heart Pillar.
This allowed a gateway to the
first world, Lineland, to be
opened.
With that, Mario went on with
his adventure. World after
world, Mario fought many enemies
to regain the Pure Hearts. With
them, he returned to Flipside to
place them in the Pure Heart
Pillars, as Merlon told him to
do so.
Once there was no more Pillars,
Mario found a palace like room
with 8 colored blocks within
Flipside. After hitting them all
in the correct order, Mario
discovered that there was a
second Flipside -- Flopside!
Both were linked in order to
keep a balance between
dimensions.
Flipside ultimately served as
the main town in Super Paper
Mario. Mario constantly returned
here in order to get to other
places, and with Flipside's many
floors, found everything he
needed. Flipside Tower hosted
all the doors to other
dimensions and worlds, and also
was the return point for the
Return Pipe.
Flipside is also home to
Merluvlee, part of Merlon's
family as a fortune teller.
Flipside contains an Item Shop,
Inn, Arcade, a place for
cooking, and much, much more.
Flipside is navigated in
both 2D and 3D.
The legendary Pit of 100 Trials
is also found here, as well as
Piccolo, a secret pixel with
musical talents. The Flipside
Pit of 100 Trials is the easier
set of trials when compared to
Flopside's Pit of 100 Trials. |
