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
| This section is a stub - It needs expansion! | |
Pop Flower often appears as a white bell-shaped bud when closed, which blooms into a five-petaled flower with a white center. Pop Flowers bloom in a variety of colors depending on their exact location. In addition to normal Pop Flowers are Pop Flower Bushes, which give either one small star or one medium star that's worth 10 Point Stars. 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.
In Challenge Mode, Pop Flowers instead are yellow when closed, and always bloom red.
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.
