Also, it makes a lot more sense that this is referring to the original Ponkey, as Land was never released after World, so Volcano Lotus can just be related by extension via Lava Lotus. And not every "Flower" enemy has to be related to Piranha Plant (e.g.Eggo-Dil & Dizzy Dandy).) |

Mario can defeat a Pompon Flower by jumping or shooting a Superball at one, obtaining 800 points. Pompon Flowers only appear in World 4-2 of the Chai Kingdom.
