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 | 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. | ||
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]], etc.), the flipper will continue to move with the background instead of remaining stationary.

Multiple Flippers appear on Luigi's [[Break the Targets]] stage in ''Melee''. Uniquely, these Flippers do not remain stationary in midair as the do in item form; instead, they move in random directions accross the stage.

Similar their effect as an item, they will knock players upwards to the left or right (depending on the direction they hit it) and deal 1% damage. Unlike in ''Melee'', it'll only knock players left or right. In ''Ultimate'', Flippers once again appear as hazards on the [[Balloon Fight]] stage, functioning the same as they previously did on the stage. | ||
