Their role is comparable to [[Dragon Coin]]s and [[Star Coin]]s. There are also evil smirking versions known as [[Fooly Flower]]s that attempt to trick a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] into coming near them. After that, they roll into them.  

The health meters in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', ''[[Yoshi Topsy-Turvy]]'', ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', and ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'' are also represented by a smiling flower, which gets sadder and loses petals as the player takes more damage. This flower is called the [[Health Meter#Yoshi's Story|Smile Meter]] (or Smilometer) in ''Yoshi's Story'', or otherwise simply the Health Meter.  

===''Yoshi's Island'' series===

Special Flowers first appear in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', where there are five Special Flowers in each level, and netting all five earns the Yoshi an [[extra life]] and fifty points toward the completion score (10 points per flower). Getting all the flowers in each level is also necessary for the Yoshi to get a perfect score. Collecting at least one flower is also necessary to access a [[Bonus Challenge]] via the [[Goal Ring]], and the chance of playing a Bonus Challenge is increased by collecting more. Flowers normally bloom as soon as they come on-screen, but remain as sleeping seeds if frozen or not collected at the end of a level.

In ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', Smiley Flowers appear at the [[Goal Ring]] at the end of [[Yoshi's Island (race course)|Yoshi's Island]] in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' DLC pack.

===''Yoshi's Woolly World'' / ''Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World''===

Smiley Flowers reappear in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', acting the same as in previous games. However, collecting all five does not give players an extra life due to the lack of the extra life system. If Yoshi manages to collect all Smiley Flowers from a world, an additional level is unlocked in that world. If all Smiley Flowers are collected from all other levels, a special level in a special world is unlocked, called [[Wonderful World of Wool]]. The Smiley Flower at the [[Goal Ring]] will give Yoshi a chance to play a [[Bonus Game (Yoshi's Woolly World)|Bonus Game]] for extra [[bead]]s.

 

Smiley Flowers return in ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'', and like in ''Yoshi's Woolly World'', they do not grant extra lives due to the lack of the extra life system. The player also earns additional Smiley Flowers in a level for collecting a set number of coins, collecting all [[Red Coin]]s, getting full hearts, finding the [[Poochy Pup]]s, finding them within a set time, and finding all of the souvenirs. In levels such as [[Go-Go Yoshi (level)|Go-Go Yoshi]] and [[Monty-Mole-B-Gone]], Smiley Flowers can also be obtained by completing various objectives. Yoshi must also give [[Blockafeller]]s and [[Torque (species)|Torque]]s certain numbers of Smiley Flowers to advance to certain levels. Unlike previous games, they do not give the player a chance to play a Bonus Game. Unlike previous games, there are varying amounts of Smiley Flowers per level (between 5 and 8). Fooly Flowers also make a reappearance. In this game, they disappear when hit.
