—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.

His name comes from the German male given name "Florian," derived from the Latin words "florens" (blossoming) or "flos" (flower).

History[edit]

Super Mario Bros. Wonder[edit]

In Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Bowser merges with the Flower Castle, imprisoning Prince Florian's subjects and taking over his kingdom. He then joins the adventure as a non-playable character and the main ally to Mario and the rest of the main characters. He holds onto the back of the character picked by Player 1 and is seen whenever they are idle. He is what allows Mario and the others to use badges and wears whatever badge the player is using on top of his crown. After receiving a Game Over, he will grant the player(s) five 1-Up Mushrooms. In local co-op, Prince Florian rides on the shoulder of the character with the crown.
