===''Super Mario Maker 2''===
Superball Flowers are very similar to [[Fire Flower]]s. Not only do they look very much alike, but they also give the player similar abilities - superballs are the game's equivalent to [[fireball]]s, although they behave slightly differently (ricocheting off all surfaces at 90° to arrival rather than remaining low, only one can be fired at a time) and they can collect coins when fired at them. However, in ''Super Mario Land'', Superball Flowers do not change [[Mario]]'s appearance at all. In ''Super Mario Maker 2'', they make Mario black and white, similar to ''Super Mario Land'', which was in black and white.<ref name=Reddit/> It is unlocked by clearing the job, "Spiny Shell Smashers", given to Mario by Purple Toad.

Superball Flowers, originally called flowers[1] or super flower,[2] are items in Super Mario Land and reappear in Super Mario Maker 2. These power-up flowers turn Mario into his Superball form, giving him the ability to shoot Superballs.

History[edit]

Super Mario Land[edit]

Flowers are items in Super Mario Land. Although black-and-white in game due to graphical limitations of the Game Boy, they are depicted as being black and blue in the Game Boy Player's Guide. Flowers are very similar to Fire Flowers in appearance and in abilities granted, and can only be found in blocks if Mario is Super Mario or won in the bonus game. Superballs are Super Mario Land's equivalent to fireballs; only one can be fired at a time, though, and they bounce diagonally at 90° angles. Superballs will collect any coins they make contact with. While one Superball can typically defeat any non-boss enemy, many enemies require multiple Superballs to defeat. Superball Mario looks identical to Super Mario.

Super Mario Maker 2[edit]

Superball Flowers reappear under their current name in Super Mario Maker 2. They are only available in the Super Mario Bros. game style as an alternate form of the Fire Flower, and retain their properties from Super Mario Land; Superballs can additionally light Bob-ombs, collect Keys and Pink Coins, and activate P Switches and POW Blocks. The character who picks them up takes on monochromatic shades of green, and the background music will also change to Birabuto Kingdom's ground theme for that character. Superball Flowers are unlocked for use with Course Maker in the Story Mode by finding a ? Block that is initially covered by Hard Blocks; after Mario is given the job Spiny Shell Smashers by Purple Toad and clears it, the blocks will be removed, allowing Mario access.
