'''Superball Flowers''', originally called '''flowers'''<ref>''Super Mario Land'' English instruction booklet, pages 7 & 9.</ref> or '''super flower''',<ref>''Super Mario Land'' English instruction booklet, page 5.</ref> are power-up flowers that were first introduced in ''[[Super Mario Land]]'' and reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'' 30 years later, holding the longest gap between appearances of a power-up in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. Superball Flowers turn [[Mario]] into his [[Superball Mario|Superball form]], giving him the ability to shoot Superballs. Although black-and-white in game due to graphical limitations of the [[Game Boy]], they are depicted as being black and blue in the Game Boy Player's Guide.

Flowers are very similar to [[Fire Flower]]s in appearance and in abilities granted, and can only be found in blocks if Mario is Super Mario or won in the [[bonus game (Super Mario Land)|bonus game]]. Superballs are ''[[Super Mario Land]]''{{'}}s equivalent to [[fireball]]s; only one can be fired at a time, though, and they bounce diagonally at 90° angles. Superballs will collect any coins they make contact with. While one Superball can typically defeat any non-boss enemy, many enemies require multiple Superballs to defeat. Superball Mario looks identical to [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]].

In ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', Superball Flowers are only available in the ''Super Mario Bros.'' game style as an alternate form of the Fire Flower, and retain their properties from ''Super Mario Land''; Superballs can additionally light [[Bob-omb]]s, collect [[Key]]s and [[Pink Coin (Super Mario Maker)|Pink Coin]]s, and activate [[P Switch]]es and [[POW Block]]s. The character who picks them up takes on monochromatic shades of green, and the background music will also change to [[Birabuto Kingdom]]'s ground theme for that character. Superball Flowers are unlocked for use with [[Course Maker]] in the Story Mode by finding a [[? Block]] that is initially covered by [[Hard Block]]s; after Mario is given the job [[Spiny Shell Smashers]] by Purple Toad and clears it, the blocks will be removed, allowing Mario access.
