Sunflower Kids[1], also known as Kid Sunflowers[2] and Sunflowers,[1] are a kind of flower found on Isle Delfino in Super Mario Sunshine. They live outside of Pinna Park. At one point, the Snooze-A-Koopas start nibbling on their roots, causing them to turn brown and start to wilt. Mario has to destroy each Snooze-A-Koopa to turn each Sunflower Kid back to its original healthy state. There is also a giant sunflower called the Great Sunflower, who gives Mario a Shine Sprite after every Sunflower Kid has been restored.
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 do not look much like the Sunflower Kids, although they do have eyes, just like the kids.[citation needed]
