Their role is comparable to [[Dragon Coin]]s and [[Star Coin]]s. There are also evil smirking versions known as [[Fooly Flower]]s that attempt to trick a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] into coming near them. After that, they roll into them.

==History==
===''Yoshi's Island'' series===
====''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' / ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3''====
[[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 reissue]]. There are five Special Flowers in each level, and collecting them all earns the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] an [[extra life]] and 50 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 onscreen, but they 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 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 because the game does not have lives. If Yoshi collects all Smiley Flowers from non-special courses in a world, a special course is unlocked in that world. If all Smiley Flowers are collected from all other courses, the [[Big Yarn Ball (location)|Big Yarn Ball]] on [[Craft Island]] becomes the course [[Wonderful World of Wool]]. In ''Yoshi's Woolly World'', collecting a Smiley Flower at the [[Goal Ring]] has Yoshi play a [[Bonus Game (Yoshi's Woolly World)|Bonus Game]] for extra [[bead]]s. In ''Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World'', the same event instead enables the player to toggle Gold Rush mode in the [[Poochy Dash]] mode for one course. This still lets the player collect more beads, just in a different game.

===''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)===
In the [[Nintendo Switch]] remake of ''[[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|Super Mario RPG]]'', several Smiley Flowers can be seen on the level-up screen.

===Other appearances===
The Wii U version of ''[[Sonic Lost World]]'' received a DLC level titled [[Yoshi's Island Zone]]; it contains many ''Yoshi'' franchise references. Among these are the [[sonicretro:Red Star Ring|Red Star Rings]] from ''Sonic Lost World'' being replaced by Special Flowers.

===Unused appearances===
====''Yoshi's Story''====
Special Flowers were [[List of Yoshi's Story pre-release and unused content|originally planned]] to appear as collectibles in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'' as seen in early screenshots, but were ultimately removed.
