'''Sunflower Kids'''{{refneeded}}, also known as '''Sunflowers''', are a kind of flower found on [[Isle Delfino]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. They lived outside [[Pinna Park]] peacefully, although their peace was disrupted when the [[Snooze-A-Koopa]]s started nibbling on their roots. The Sunflower Kids turned brown and started to wilt.  
In the Super Mario Mash-up in ''[[Minecraft]]'', [[minecraftwiki:Sunflower|Sunflowers]] are replaced by Sunflower Kids.


[[Mario]] had to destroy each Snooze-A-Koopa to turn each Sunflower Kid back to its original healthy state. There is one giant sunflower called the [[Great Sunflower]] who is probably their leader. The Sunflower Kids, like many things in the [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]], have eyes. Unlike the inanimate objects, though, they can move and talk.

Several Sunflower Kids make a small appearance in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', where they can be seen happily dancing in [[Peach Beach]] after players beat a racing cup. Other sunflowers appear in the game; however, they don't look much like the Sunflower Kids, although they do have eyes, just like the kids.

Sunflower Kids,[1] also known as Kid Sunflowers[2] and Sunflowers,[1][3] are flowers that inhabit Pinna Park in Super Mario Sunshine. Though not commonly interactive, Sunflower Kids are part of one episode where the Snooza Koopas nibble on their roots, making them turn brown and begin to wilt, but a Sunflower Kid is restored each time Mario defeats a Snooza Koopa. After every Sunflower Kid has been restored, the Great Sunflower does, too, and rewards a Shine Sprite.

In the Super Mario Mash-up in Minecraft, Sunflowers are replaced by Sunflower Kids.
