Template:Item-infobox Superball Flowers[1], also called flowers[2] or super flower[3], are power-up flowers that were first introduced in Super Mario Land and reappear in Super Mario Maker 2.

Superball Flowers turn Mario into his Superball form, giving him the ability to shoot Superballs.

The Superball Flower has had the largest gap between appearances of a power-up in the Mario franchise, with thirty years between Super Mario Land and Super Mario Maker 2.

Game information

Superball Flowers are very similar to Fire Flowers in appearance, as well as the abilities granted. Superballs are the game's equivalent to fireballs; only one can be fired at a time, though, and they bounce diagonally at 90° angles. Superballs will collect any coins they make contact with.

In Super Mario Land, Superball Mario looks identical to Super Mario. In Super Mario Maker 2, the character who picks them up takes on monochromatic shades of green, similar to the Game Boy graphics of Super Mario Land. The power-up is only available in the Super Mario Bros. game style as an alternate form of the Fire Flower. Superball Flowers are unlocked by hitting a ? Block that is initially covered by Hard Blocks; by clearing the job Spiny Shell Smashers, given to Mario by Purple Toad, the blocks will be removed, allowing Mario access.
