The Flipper acts as a projectile item which can be picked up and thrown. After the Flipper travels a certain distance, it stops in midair. When hit, it spins either slowly or quickly (depending on either the speed of someone who has contacted it, or the strength of the attack), blocking passage and causing light (though generally repeated) [[damage]] when touched. After a certain period of time, the flipper will slow down and eventually stop spinning[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsftegYjaiQ]. The Flipper will disappear after about ten seconds have passed. | The Flipper acts as a projectile item which can be picked up and thrown.

When used on moving stages (such as [[Big Blue]], [[Rainbow Cruise]], etc.), the flipper will continue to move with the background instead of remaining stationary. This is most apparent on Big Blue, where the flipper hangs still for a split-second, then races off screen as the [[Falcon Flyer]] and racers speed away from it. | When used on moving stages (such as [[Big Blue]], [[Rainbow Cruise]], [[Poké Floats]], etc.), the flipper will continue to move with the background instead of remaining stationary.

Due to having near-identical usages and effects, the Flipper serves as ''Melee''{{'}}s equivilant of the Bumper from the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' game. This is further supported as the Bumper is the only item which didn't return from ''Smash 64'', as well as the Bumper's return and Flipper's absence in ''[[Brawl]]'', combined with Bumper's new ability to be set in midair being identical to the Flipper's. Furthermore, when [[Masahiro Sakurai]] revealed the return of the Bumper for ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', he stated "This also means there will be no Flippers," an official confirmation that the items were intended to fill the same niche and not appear in the same game together. As such, the fandom often considers it and the Bumper as the same item. | Due to having near-identical usages and effects, the Flipper serves as ''Melee''{{'}}s equivilant of the Bumper from the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' game.
