Editing Flower (Donkey Kong 3)

|latest_appearance=''[[NES Remix Pack]]'' ([[List of games by date#2014|2014]])

'''Flowers'''<ref>''Donkey Kong 3'' [[media:DK3 NES Box Back.png|back cover]] (North American)</ref> are objects in ''[[Donkey Kong 3]]''. They appear in all of [[Stanley]]'s greenhouses ([[Greenhouse (blue)|blue]], [[Greenhouse (gray)|gray]], and [[Greenhouse (yellow)|yellow]]). Five flowers appear in every stage. [[Buzzbee]]s and [[Butterfly (Donkey Kong 3)|Butterflies]] try to steal Stanley's flowers, so Stanley must shoot them with his [[Sprayer]]. If a Buzzbee or Butterfly grabs a flower and feeds it to [[Donkey Kong]], it becomes a [[Super Bee]]. Flowers start off as '''Sprouts''' before becoming '''Buds''' in the next stage and finally '''Blooms'''<ref>''[[Arcade Archives]]'' ''Donkey Kong 3'' manual page 6</ref> and remain so even after the game loops back to the first round. If a flower is lost, it is replaced by a Sprout in the following stage. Each surviving flower is worth 500 [[point]]s. 2,000 perfect bonus points are also awarded, but only if all five flowers survive after a level is completed. This rises to 5,000 perfect bonus points if all the flowers are Blooms. In the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] version, all flowers start off as fully bloomed and the perfect bonus is 3,000 points.
