—Prince Florian, Super Mario Bros. Wonder

Prince Florian is the ruler of the Flower Kingdom, making his debut appearance in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. He bears the appearance of a small light-green caterpillar, somewhat resembling a Wiggler. His main subjects consist of Poplins and Talking Flowers.

History[edit]

Super Mario Bros. Wonder / Super Mario Bros. Wonder – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park[edit]

In Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Bowser merges with the Flower Castle, imprisoning Prince Florian's subjects, and taking over his kingdom. Florian joins the heroes on their quest to defeat Bowser. He rides on the back of Player 1's character—in co-op mode, on the shoulder of the character wearing the crown—and is seen whenever they are idle. He enables the use of badges, wearing whichever is equipped atop his crown. If the players lose all their lives, he will grant five 1-Up Mushrooms.

In the Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game, hidden pixel Prince Florians have been added across the levels of the base game.

Tetris 99[edit]

Prince Florian makes a cameo in Tetris 99 in the background of the Super Mario Bros. Wonder theme.

Mario Tennis Fever[edit]

Prince Florian appears as a referee on the Wonder Court in Mario Tennis Fever.

Profiles[edit]

  • Trading card bio: This friendly and determined prince joins Mario and friends on their journey to save the Flower Kingdom from Bowser.
