[[Image:Flower.PNG|frame|left]]
====''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' / ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3''====
In the first entry in the ''Yoshi's Island'' series of games, there are five flowers in each level, and netting all five earns [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] an [[Extra Life]] and fifty points toward the completion score (10 points per flower). Getting all the 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 roulette]], and the chance of playing a Bonus Challenge is increased by collecting more. Flowers appear as sleeping seeds if frozen or not collected at the end of a level.
[[File:SMW2 Special Flower art.png|thumb|left|A Special Flower, as depicted in its debut appearance, ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'']]
Special Flowers are items in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' and [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|its remake]]. There are five Special Flowers in each level, and collecting them all earns the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] an [[extra life]] and fifty points toward the completion score (10 points per flower). Getting all the flowers in each level is also necessary for the 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 normally bloom as soon as they come on-screen, but remain as sleeping seeds if frozen or not collected at the end of a level.
 
====''Yoshi's Island DS''====
Flowers are items in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. They function the same way as in the game's predecessor.
 
====''Yoshi's New Island''====
Smiley Flowers are items in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'' under their current name, functioning the same way as in the game's predecessor. However, as there are no score features or Bonus Challenges in this title, collecting all five increases the chances of getting [[Egg Medal]]s via the [[Goal Ring]].
 
===''Mario Kart'' series===
====''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''====
In ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', Flowers appear at the back and as [[emblem]]s on the [[Goo-Goo Buggy]] and the [[Rattle Buggy]].
 
====''Mario Kart Tour''====
In ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', due to the Goo-Goo Buggy's return, the Smiley Flower emblem on it also appears too, though it is now only found at the back of the kart. A glider named the [[Smiley Flower Glider]] based on a Smiley Flower also appears, starting with the [[Yoshi Tour (2023)|2023 Yoshi Tour]].
 
====''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''====
In ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', Smiley Flowers appear at the [[Goal Ring]] at the end of [[Yoshi's Island (race course)|Yoshi's Island]] in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' DLC pack.
 
===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
Two flowers with open mouths appear in the foreground of the summer transition of the [[Yoshi's Island (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|Yoshi's Island]] stage, first appearing in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and later appearing in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.
 
===''Yoshi's Woolly World'' / ''Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World''===
Smiley Flowers reappear in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', acting the same as in previous games. However, collecting all five does not give players an extra life due to the lack of the extra life system. If Yoshi manages to collect all Smiley Flowers from a world, an additional level is unlocked in that world. If all Smiley Flowers are collected from all other levels, a special level in a special world is unlocked, called [[Wonderful World of Wool]]. The Smiley Flower at the [[Goal Ring]] will give Yoshi a chance to play a [[Bonus Game (Yoshi's Woolly World)|Bonus Game]] for extra [[bead]]s.
 
===''Yoshi's Crafted World''===
Smiley Flowers return in ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'', and like in ''Yoshi's Woolly World'', they do not grant extra lives due to the lack of the extra life system. The player also earns additional Smiley Flowers in a level for collecting a set number of coins, collecting all [[Red Coin]]s, getting full hearts, finding the [[Poochy Pup]]s, finding them within a set time, and finding all of the souvenirs. In levels such as [[Go-Go Yoshi (level)|Go-Go Yoshi]] and [[Monty-Mole-B-Gone]], Smiley Flowers can also be obtained by completing various objectives. Yoshi must also give [[Blockafeller]]s and [[Torque (species)|Torque]]s certain numbers of Smiley Flowers to advance to certain levels. Unlike previous games, they do not give the player a chance to play a Bonus Game. Unlike previous games, there are varying amounts of Smiley Flowers per level (between 5 and 8). Fooly Flowers also make a reappearance. In this game, they disappear when hit.
 
===''Super Mario RPG'' (Nintendo Switch)===

Smiley Flowers, also referred to as Special Flowers,[1] Flower Men,[2] or simply flowers,[3][4][5] are plant items first appearing in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. Their role is comparable to Dragon Coins and Star Coins. There are also evil smirking versions known as Fooly Flowers that attempt to trick a Yoshi into coming near them. After that, they roll into them.

The health meters in Yoshi's Story, Yoshi Topsy-Turvy, Yoshi's Woolly World, Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World, and Yoshi's Crafted World are also represented by a smiling flower, which gets sadder and loses petals as the player takes more damage. This flower is called the Smile Meter (or Smilometer) in Yoshi's Story, or otherwise simply the Health Meter.

Yoshi's New Island[edit]

The Smiley Flower at the Goal Ring will give Yoshi a chance to play a Bonus Game for extra beads.

Yoshi's Crafted World[edit]

Smiley Flowers return in Yoshi's Crafted World, and like in Yoshi's Woolly World, they do not grant extra lives due to the lack of the extra life system.

In levels such as Go-Go Yoshi and Monty-Mole-B-Gone, Smiley Flowers can also be obtained by completing various objectives. Yoshi must also give Blockafellers and Torques certain numbers of Smiley Flowers to advance to certain levels. Unlike previous games, they do not give the player a chance to play a Bonus Game.
