Flower Cup: Difference between revisions

The '''Flower Cup''' is a cup in the ''[[Mario Kart]]'' series. It is represented by a [[Fire Flower]].

This cup is slightly harder than [[Mushroom Cup]], and typically has more dynamic and gimmicky tracks in comparison. The cup usually contains [[Mario Circuit]] as the first or second track. The Flower Cup was a starter cup in the ''Mario Kart'' series until ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', where it is unlocked by completing the Mushroom Cup. Completing this cup in third place or higher unlocks the [[Star Cup]].  

The Flower Cup also appears in other games, typically sports games.

The cup appears also in sports-themed ''Mario'' games like ''[[Super Mario Strikers]]'' and ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]''. In ''Super Mario Strikers'', the Flower Cup has six teams, five rounds, and uses the table system. When the player finishes in the top three, the [[Crater Field]] and the [[Star Cup]] are unlocked. A similar cup is the [[Super Flower Cup]]. The Flower Cup is also one of three playable tournaments in ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]''.

In ''[[Mario Tennis Open]]'', the Flower Cup is the second in the World Open tournament. It is played on the [[Wario Dunes]] court, and matches in this cup have one set for the starting round, and three sets each for the semi-finals and finals. The CPU difficulty is a little bit harder, and to unlock this cup, the [[Mushroom Cup]] must be beaten.

The Flower Cup is also the second cup in the COM Tournament mode of ''[[Mario Tennis Aces]]''.
