A '''Rocket Flower Refresh''' is a method of refreshing the timer of a [[Rocket Flower]] without returning to the pickup area, allowing Mario to travel indefinitely without it expiring. If Mario performs a Rocket Flower Refresh, the Rocket Flower will behave as if he picked it up again from its original spawn point, without actually needing to be in the spawn point's vicinity. | |||

The most common method to perform a Rocket Flower | The most common method to perform a Rocket Flower Refresh is using a [[ground pound]]. To perform this method, simply spinthrow and then immediately perform a ground pound while carrying a Rocket Flower. | ||

Most players prefer to jump, spinthrow and then press ZL/ZR to accomplish this, although some will spinthrow before jumping. | ||

This method simply requires running into a wall immediately after performing a spinthrow. Similarly to the other method, bonking too late after the spinthrow will result in a failed attempt. | ||

Rocket Flower | The so-called "2-frame" method is by far the hardest method of performing a Rocket Flower Refresh, and involves collecting a moon immediately after performing a cap throw. It is named as such because the cap throw window is believed to be only two frames. | ||
[[Category:Glitches]] | Under normal conditions, the cap throw must be either a spinthrow or an upthrow, but there is video evidence of a 2-frame refresh being performed with a standard cap throw. It is not currently known what the conditions are to perform this trick with a regular throw.[[Category:Glitches]] | ||
