Pompon Flowers,[1][2] also known as Pom Pom Flower[3] or PomPom,[4] are flower enemies in Super Mario Land that 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 appear only in World 4-2. They resemble Pansers and Lava Lotuses, to a lesser extent, and may be related to them.[5]

In the Super Mario Land manga, a single Pompon Flower appears in the last chapter at the Chai Kingdom airport, with a Goombo and a Nyololin.

Nuisance! Poisonous flower walking around

As its name suggests, the Pompon Flower shoots out poisonous pollen. Moreover, even among the flower tribe, this one walks around, which is a problem. It is important to stay away from them as much as possible.
