Pompon Flower

Revision as of 15:03, March 12, 2022 by LinkTheLefty (talk | contribs) (Super Mario Bros. Daizukan. suggests that Pompon Flower might be a relative of Suichūka (Lava Lotus) and Ponkey (doesn't state which one), so I'm re-adding Lava Lotus and Volcano Plant to comparable in light of this.)

Not to be confused with Pom Pom.

Template:Species-infobox Pompon Flowers,[1][2] also known as PomPom,[3] are flower enemies found in Super Mario Land. They walk around, shooting poisonous pollen upwards. 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. Pompon Flowers look very similar to the Pansers from Super Mario Bros. 2, and were likely inspired by them.
