Steam Gardeners are a variety of robots found in Steam Gardens of the Wooded Kingdom in Super Mario Odyssey. They are the autonomous gardeners of Steam Gardens, shaped like yellow watering cans. They are able to dispense water. Their front side has a small display flashing various colors. Their exhaust consists of steam.[1] Steam Gardeners serve mainly to water the flowers, but also to maintain the rest of the greenhouse and give Mario advice. They often come across as socially awkward and eccentric due to being robots. Many Steam Gardeners can be found resting inside a robot storeroom, and some of them can be seen waiting to be charged in the Forest Charging Station.
The plants on their head are considered headgear. The player is unable to capture a Steam Gardener, and Toads are seen wearing the same plants. Sometimes small birds land on a Steam Gardener's plants.
Another type of Steam Gardener also appears in the game. They are silver in appearance and produce Seeds. Mario must use Cappy to pull the Steam Gardener's lever to receive a Seed. After receiving a Seed, the Steam Gardener states that it takes time to produce another Seed. In the game proper, this is based on the Seed's current state. The first seed has to despawn in some manner for the Steam Gardener to have another Seed.
At the game's finale, in the Moon Kingdom, a few Steam Gardeners can be found in attendance of the wedding between Bowser and Princess Peach. Like other attending members, they were brought forcefully. After beating the game, they can be found at the entrance of the Moon Kingdom near the Odyssey, close to the Crazy Cap store in Bowser's Kingdom, and in the start of Darker Side.
Like many of the supporting characters, Steam Gardeners will cower and refuse to talk to Mario if an enemy gets too close to them, regardless whether Mario has captured the enemy in question or not. When a Steam Gardener is scared, their screen turns red.
