Rosalina in designs created by myself, imagining her in various power ups. Though, the Raccoon power-up (from Super Mario Bros. 3) is dubiously canon as Rosalina did use it in the Smash series. Beyond this, I cover Invincible Raccoon (New Super Mario Bros. 2's Invincibility Leaf), Superball Flower (Super Mario Land) and SMB2 Mushroom (Super Mario Maker 2) - made as part of an art trade with princesayasminstars on DeviantArt

Superball Flower

Released: Jan. 17, 2025 Type: Item Game: Super Mario Land

Sarasaland has no Fire Flowers. Instead, they have these! Grabbing one gives you the ability to throw bouncy balls that are strong enough to take out enemies. In Super Smash Bros., the Superballs are launched from the flower itself, just like Fire Flowers.

I made this model in a single afternoon. I wanted it to fit in with Brawl's other items, so I made it closer to the Super Mario art style and kept it relatively low-poly. The roundness of the petals is inspired by Super Mario Bros. Wonder. I also gave it "modern" eyes, though I made them optional for people who want the classic look.

Fire Flower types across the Mario Universe

Mushroom Kingdom

The most common version of Fire Flowers that appear throughout the Mario universe, giving the user Fire Forms and the ability to throw fireballs

Dinosaur Land

The Dinosaur Land variant was the appearance of an orange tulip

Sarasaland (Superball Flower)

Sarasaland doesn't any have Fire Flowers but instead has a unique flower called Superball Flowers which transform Mario into Superball Mario, which gives him the ability to throw balls that ricochet

Mario Land

The Mario Land Fire Flowers have a similar appearance to Dinosaur Land's and give Fire Mario a unique design, giving him a feather on his head

Space

Even though it might look the same, the function is different, while it does give the user Fire Forms, it does not wear off when badly hit and instead wears off via a time limit

Paper Mario Universe

The Fire Flowers in Paper Mario 64 and Thousand Year Door have an appearance that's a mix between their main and Dinosaur Land counterpart

Daisy in the Superball Flower Field

She's being chased by a Bunbun from the original Super Mario Land. I don't know where her outfit came from, I kind of want to say I was subconsciously channeling KnebulaNight/Knick? Then again she doesnt have a hoodie

Haven't posted any of my own stuff in a bit, so here's some 2D icons I made of some various flower power-ups that I'll be using as I continue the power-up evolutionary tree.

Here are some other colors I made for the Superball Flower. The blue one is based on an image I found on Mariowiki... Honestly, I have no idea where it comes from. However, the light green ball is how it appears in the Kodansha manga. (The flower itself never appears in the manga for some reason.) The second one turns the leaves sepia-toned to match the petals, like in Super Mario Maker 2. The last one is based on the old Game Boy screens, or at least how Nintendo Switch Online depicts them.
