Flower Fan
Flower Fans,[1] also referred to astulips,[2] are objects that appear in theNintendo Switch version ofMario vs. Donkey Kong, introduced inMerry Mini-Land. They are mechanical floating flowers that can generate a straight gust of wind in the direction it is facing, provided that they are activated by their respectiveColor Switch. If any player, carryable enemy or object is within the wind gust generated by a Flower Fan, they will be floated either upwards or sideways depending on the direction it faces.
While a player is in a Flower Fan's wind gust, they cannot be controlled until they reach its end point, which can serve as a barricade that blocks off certain items likepresents in some levels. However, they can still carry objects while floating using a Flower Fan.Mini-Marios can also be carried across Flower Fan gusts, which is demonstrated prominently in some levels likeLevel 4-mm.
