—Talking Flower, Super Mario Bros. Wonder

Talking Flowers[2][3] (also written in lowercase)[4] are objects that appear in Super Mario Bros. Wonder.[5] They are small, orange or red flowers that talk to the player when approached; the messages they say are small reactions to what is currently ongoing in the level. Unlike the other characters, their dialogue is fully voiced, and they have separate voice actors in each of the game’s languages. Players have the option to turn their dialogue on and off, and can change the language they can talk in. Their design is reminiscent of the angel's trumpet flower.

Trivia

  • In the level The Desert Mystery, both orange and red variants of the Talking Flower can be found. The red Talking Flowers can only be found during the level's Wonder Effect. The Desert Mystery is one of the only levels where red Talking Flowers can be found outside of Badge Challenges.
  • In the level Color-Switch Dungeon, both red and blue variants of the Talking Flower can be found. Their color is dependent on the level's current ON/OFF state. Red Talking Flowers have a more positive attitude than blue Talking Flowers. Color-Switch Dungeon is one of the only levels where red Talking Flowers can be found outside of Badge Challenges, and the only level where blue Talking Flowers can be found.
  • According to an interview for Nintendo's Ask the Developer series, the Talking Flowers were a reconfigured version of a concept proposed by producer Takashi Tezuka where the game would provide live commentary on the player's actions. The original idea was scrapped due to it being too much work to implement, with the Talking Flowers being seen as a more practical alternative that better fit the Super Mario franchise.[11]
  • The European Portuguese voice actor of the Talking Flowers, Luís Barros, also voiced Mario in the European Portuguese dub of The Super Mario Bros. Movie.[12]
