The Talking Flower figurine

The Talking Flower figurine is a non-interactive talking toy created by Nintendo, based on Talking Flowers. It was announced in a Nintendo Direct on September 12, 2025 during its Super Mario Bros. 40th Anniversary segment, alongside Super Mario Bros. Wonder – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park. It was released on March 12, 2026.

The figurine has various pre-recorded lines which it can play on its own at random, up to about two times an hour. The user can press the button on the front to make it say a line, or hold it for two seconds for "quiet time". The figurine can also make comments based on the time of day, room temperature, or its own battery level; specific times can be set for morning greetings and bedtime. It also features a "music mode" that plays three tracks from Super Mario Bros. Wonder, which are "Ninji Disco", "Spikey Dance Number", and "Pumpkin Party".

The Talking Flower figurine supports eleven different spoken languages: English, Italian, Latin American Spanish, European Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, German, Dutch, French, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean.
