Abilities
The Flipper Floppers come with a random primary ability that can also appear as secondary abilities, which prevents the wearer from having Drop Roller, Object Shredder, or Stealth Jump as they are exclusive to Shoes and cannot appear as secondary abilities. This primary ability is assigned randomly when the item is received. As a 3-star item, the Flipper Floppers come with three additional slots for secondary abilities. Since they are made by the Grizzco gear brand, they have equal chances to roll any secondary ability.
Etymology
The name flipper floppers is a pun on "Flippers" (an alternate name for swimfins), "Flip-flops", and the flopping sound made when walking in such shoes.
