The Poplins are a race of Toad-like creatures with flower buds in their heads who make their debut in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. They are inhabitants of the Flower Kingdom, ruled by Prince Florian. Poplins have olive skin, black eyes with white pupils, and wear outfits based on traditional Arabic clothing.

Poplins appear throughout Super Mario Bros. Wonder and assist Mario and co. in their journey by hosting Poplin Shops in various worlds. Others are imprisoned by Bowser at the end of courses. After reaching the Goal Pole, the Poplin is freed and will reward the player with a Wonder Seed as thanks.[1]
