A Bonus Flower[1] is one of the general items that can be obtained in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. Bonus Flowers are generally obtained and used instantly when the player defeats an enemy during an in-game battle (if the enemy is not the last or one of the last to get eliminated). Bonus Flowers cause one of the five following effects to the party member that defeats the enemy:

  • HP Max: The character's HP is restored completely.
  • Attack Up: This increases 50% of the character's attack power for the remainder of the battle.
  • Defense Up: This increases 50% of the character's defense power for the remainder of the battle.
  • Once Again: This gives a character a free turn.
  • Lucky: After winning the battle, the player can play a bonus game that lets them double their coins or experience points. Also, there is a chance that it greatly boosts a character's (anyone who caught the LUCKY! flower) defense when counter-blocking (damage ranging only from 0 to 4, mostly).
