Physical description

In Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
Spinning Flowers appear in only three areas, Mushroom Way, Bandit's Way, and Land's End. Whenever Mario stands on a Spinning Flower, he spins around, and by jumping off, Mario is launched into a single direction; this is necessary to reach certain areas.
In Paper Mario
Spinning Flowers are only found on Lavalava Island. When Mario lands on a Spinning Flower, the player can press the 
button to have Mario hover even higher. This is usually done to collect coins. However, using a Spinning Flower is required to find one of the missing Yoshi Kids of the Fearsome 5.
Tattle
