Slow Flower

A Slow Flower is a type of flower found in Super Paper Mario. If one of the four heroes (Mario, Luigi, Bowser or Princess Peach) pick it up, everything will slow down for a short period of time. In addition to jumping and running slowly, Mario's flip meter will drain and refill slower. This can be helpful or unhelpful depending on the situation.

During the slowed time, points and coins the heroes would earn will be tripled, and if an item that increases the player's points (such as a Gold Medal) is used, the points that Mario and his party receive will be triple the points that they would have normally received. Sounds are also affected, with the death sound effect from the original Paper Mario used when defeating a enemy, and the Super Mario Bros. theme can be heard in the background music when the Slow Flower is used at the beginning of Chapter 3-3, The Dotwood Tree.

One of Count Bleck's moves has the same effect as the Slow Flower, and the Speed Flower is the opposite, making everything go faster.
