Flower (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)

For other uses of the name flower, see Here

Flowers are plant items that appear in Super Mario Land, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, and Yoshi's Island DS. In Super Mario Land, the Flower's first appearance, the Flower (also known as Superball Flower or simply Super Flower) would morph Mario into Superball Mario, granting him the ability to shoot Superballs. The Flower in this game is very much like the Fire Flower, and appears identical to pre-Super Mario World Fire Flowers in-game.

In Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Island DS, there are five flowers in each level, and netting all five earns Yoshi an Extra Life and fifty points. Getting all Flowers in each level is also necessary for Yoshi to get a perfect score. Collecting at least one flower is also necessary in order to be able to access a Bonus Challenge via the GOAL! Ring, and the chance of playing a Bonus Challenge is increased by collecting more flowers.

In Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, a Flower automatically increases Mario's maximum FP (Flower Points) by one. Flower Points are needed to perform special attacks. These flowers resemble Fire Flowers from Super Mario Bros. However, they do not directly grant the ability to shoot fireballs, though some of Mario's flower-point-consuming special attacks involve shooting fireballs.
