'''Sunflower Kids'''{{refneeded}}, also known as '''Sunflowers''', are a kind of flower found on [[Isle Delfino]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''.

[[Mario]] had to destroy each Snooze-A-Koopa to turn each Sunflower Kid back to its original healthy state. There is one giant sunflower called the [[Great Sunflower]] who is probably their leader. The Sunflower Kids, like many things in the [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]], have eyes. Unlike the inanimate objects, though, they can move and talk.

Several Sunflower Kids make a small appearance in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', where they can be seen happily dancing in [[Peach Beach]] after players beat a racing cup. Other sunflowers appear in the game; however, they don't look much like the Sunflower Kids, although they do have eyes, just like the kids.
