Flowers and bushes<ref name=SM3DL/> appear throughout ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', retaining their function from ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''. The flowers appear as small clusters of cosmos and come in a variety of colors. In these games, using a move from a power-up (i.e., throwing a [[boomerang]] as [[Boomerang Mario]] through one or tail-whipping one as [[Tanooki Mario]]) has the same effect as walking through them, usually causing a coin to pop out and immediately be added to the player's total. In some instances, disturbing a flower knocks a [[Coin Coffer]] out of hiding or causes a trail of [[note]]s to appear. | Flowers and bushes<ref name=SM3DL/> appear throughout ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', retaining their function from ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''.
