Flipper: Difference between revisions

In ''Melee'', the Flipper seemed to have replaced the [[Bumper]] from the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', as their usages and effects are quite similar, and the latter item did not return. The Bumper's return and Flipper's absence in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]'' further supports this, especially as the Bumper's new ability to be set in midair is identical to the Flipper's. Furthermore, when [[Masahiro Sakurai]] revealed the [https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAADRUqFxrPKOPw 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.

Although Flippers are not items in ''Smash 4'', multiple ones appear as [[stage hazard]]s in the [[Balloon Fight]] stage in {{for3ds}}.
