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

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 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 (which may be the most remembered appearances of the Flower, there are five flowers in each level, and netting all five earns Yoshi an 1-Up and fifty points. Getting all Flowers in each level is also necessary for Yoshi to get a perfect score.

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 grant the ability to shoot fireballs.

Other appearances

 * In the Mario Kart series, there is a cup named the Flower Cup. This cup is probably named after the Fire Flower of most Mario games.
 * Princess Daisy of Sarasaland loves flowers (possibly due to the Flower item's appearance in Super Mario Land).
