APop Flower is a common object, appearing inKirby's Return to Dream Land and onward in the main series, up toKirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe. It is a small flower which can be found on the ground in many stages' open areas. The flower is initially closed, but moving over it will cause the flower to 'pop' open with a distinctive sound, releasing an item of some kind (usuallyPoint Stars orFood). Depending on the area, Pop Flowers can have many different looks, from standard white poppies, to ice crystal flowers, to mechanical light bulbs, with some even being multi-flowered, though this doesn't change the purpose of them.
InKirby's Return to Dream Land and its remake, Pop Flowers can be destroyed withSuper Abilities, which still makes them yield Food or Point Stars. In this game they alsochange color depending on the character that activates them.
InKirby and the Rainbow Curse, Pop Flowers can appear on walls and ceilings in addition to on the ground. Opening them up rewards Point Stars, but can also cause other things to happen, including makingfood or other items appear, or causing hidden doorways to appear. As such (particularly since Point Stars are howMedals are obtained inKirby and the Rainbow Curse), opening Pop Flowers in this game is much more important than in the main series.
InKirby's Return to Dream Land and its remake, an opened Pop Flower's color depends on the character who activated it. These colors correspond to characters as follows:
InKirby Star Allies, an opened Pop Flower's color depends on which character slot activates it instead. These colors correspond to characters as follows:
- First player - Pink
- Second character slot - Yellow
- Third character slot - Blue
- Fourth character slot - Green
- In the artwork used for the North American box art ofKirby's Return to Dream Land, there is a cyan-colored Pop Flower that appears in the artwork, a color that is not used in the final game. This Pop Flower color was originally King Dedede's in the E3Demo, but it was changed to red in the final release.[1]
