- —Great Sunflower, Super Mario Sunshine
The Great Sunflower,[1] also known as the Adult Sunflower,[2] is character in Super Mario Sunshine. It is a giant sunflower located outside Pinna Park on the beach of Pinna Island. The Great Sunflower watches over the Sunflower Kids, but unlike them, the Great Sunflower is much larger and is brown in the middle instead of yellow. It also speaks differently when talked to or sprayed with water. In Episode 4 of Pinna Park, the Great Sunflower is the last sunflower whom Mario rescues from the Snooza Koopas, and it rewards Mario with a Shine Sprite after he defeats every Snooza Koopa.
