'''Flowers''' are items that appear in several ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' and ''[[Yoshi (franchise)|Yoshi]]'' games, including ''[[Super Mario Land]]'', ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'', ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', and ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. In ''Super Mario Land'', the Flower's first appearance, the Flower (also known as '''Superball Flower''' or simply '''Super Flower''') morphs [[Mario]] into [[Superball Mario]], granting him the ability to shoot [[Superball]]s. The Flower in this game is very much as the [[Fire Flower]] and appears identical to pre-''[[Super Mario World]]'' Fire Flowers in-game.

In ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' and ''Yoshi's Island DS'', they are also named '''Smiley Flowers''', and there are five of them in every level. Collecting all five earns [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] an [[Extra Life]] and fifty points. Getting all flowers in each level is also necessary for 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. The flowers in this game appear as sleeping seeds if frozen or not collected at the end of a level.

In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', a Flower automatically increases Mario's maximum [[Flower Point|FP]] by one. Flower Points are needed to perform special attacks. These flowers resemble [[Fire Flowers]] from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' They do not directly grant the ability to shoot [[fireball]]s, however, though some of Mario's flower-point-consuming special attacks involve shooting fireballs.

==Other appearances==
*In the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series, there is a cup named the [[Flower Cup]].
