Flip block
A flip block from Super Paper Mario.
First appearance Super Paper Mario (2007)
Effect Flips from 2-D to 3-D or vice versa when hit
“This is a flip block. It will change dimensions as it rotates... It might just help you get somewhere...”
Tippi, Super Paper Mario

Flip blocks are flat yellow blocks with two sideways arrows that appear in Super Paper Mario. When hit from below, these blocks stretch and subsequently flip from 2-D to 3-D or vice versa, allowing Mario or other characters to reach new areas or access floating doors. A variation found in The Bitlands follows a more segmented design, but it otherwise behaves identically.
