Games[]
Kirby's Return to Dream Land and Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe[]
Pop Flowers make their debut in Kirby's Return to Dream Land. This game has the most variations of Pop Flowers, as they drastically change appearance depending on what level they appear in, as well as changing colors depending on what character passes by them; Kirby colors them pink, Meta Knight colors them purple, King Dedede colors them red, Bandana Waddle Dee colors them orange, Yellow Kirby colors them yellow, Blue Kirby colors them blue, and Green Kirby colors them green. Pop Flowers can also be destroyed by Super Abilities, but still leave behind Point Stars or food items. Pop Flower plants may vary in the number of flowers present, and in Extra Mode giant and small variations of Pop Flowers occur as well.

Kirby: Triple Deluxe[]
Pop Flowers change appearance depending on what level they appear in, this time more drastically, as its colors also depend on the level they're in. The character that blooms them does not affect the color of its petals anymore.
Kirby and the Rainbow Curse[]
There is only one type of Pop Flower across all levels: a yellow bell-shaped bud when closed, which blooms into a red flower with a white center. Exclusive to this game, Pop Flowers can grow on walls and ceilings, and can do more than giving out items; some challenges require them to bloom in order to open passageways, unlock treasure chests, and spawn items in other places.
Kirby: Planet Robobot[]
The Pop Flower features a mechanized appearance to match the game's world.
Kirby Star Allies[]
The Pop Flower appears similar in appearance to the one found in Fine Fields. Like in Kirby's Return to Dream Land, the color of the flower's petals changes depending on the player, but instead of being dependent on the character, it's dependent on the player number; Player 1 makes them pink, Player 2 makes them yellow, Player 3 make them blue, and Player 4 make them green.
Kirby and the Forgotten Land[]
The Pop Flower has a brand new design, functioning exactly as they did in previous mainline titles. While not referred as such, Tulips work similarly to Pop Flowers, and hence this is the first game since Kirby: Triple Deluxe to feature multiple kinds of Pop Flowers.
