Flower Mimics[1] are enemies that appear only in Super Mario Galaxy 2. They appear only in the Honeybloom Galaxy and the Honeyhop Galaxy. Flower Mimics resemble pink flowers and can be used as platforms, but if Mario or Luigi steps on one of these, it will soon close up, devouring the object on it. If Mario or Luigi is swallowed, he will lose a wedge of health. Flower Mimics are usually airborne or floating over shallow ponds. After snapping shut for a few seconds, a Flower Mimic reopens and can be used again. One can avoid lasting damage from Flower Mimics, though. If a coin is floating above a Flower Mimic, one can get trapped by the flower and spat into the coin, having full health but still flashing red from damage. Since no power-ups can defeat them, Flower Mimics are invincible.

The mouth animation of Flower Mimics is similar to that of Piranha Plants in Mario Kart 64.
