The '''Flipper''' is a [[Item #Projectile Items|projectile item]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', originating from the [[NES]] game [[Balloon Fight]]. After it 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. 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 it can be avoided with relative ease and has a relatively short duration on the field. | The '''Flipper''' is a [[Item #Projectile Items|projectile item]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros.

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. This | 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. 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. | ||
In ''Melee'', the Flipper seems to have replaced the [[Bumper]] from the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', as their usages and effects are quite similar. The Flipper's absence in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' further supports this theory, as the Bumper did return for said game. It could therefore be considered that after formerly being replaced by the Flipper, the Bumper then in turn replaced the Flipper for ''Brawl''. | In ''Melee'', the Flipper seems to have replaced the [[Bumper]] from the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', as their usages and effects are quite similar.
