The '''flipper''' is a [[Item #Projectile Items|projectile item]] in [[SSBM]], originating from the [[NES]] game [[Balloon Fight]]. After it travels a certain distance, it stops in mid-air. When hit, it spins either slowly or quickly (depending on either the speed [[knockback]] when contacted, or the strength of the attack), blocking passage and causing light (though generally repeated) damage when touched. Aside from causing general havoc in a fray, they can also be placed strategically at integral locations, such as [[ledge]]s or against walls.

This will prevent opponents from recovering, or not allow them to pass through certain points. The downfalls of this item are that can be avoided with relative ease and has a relatively short duration on the field. | ||
