A '''Rocket Flower refresh''' (also called a '''Rocket Flower reset''' or '''Rocket Flower storage''', and often abbreviated as '''RFR''') 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. | A '''Rocket Flower refresh''' (also called a '''Rocket Flower reset''' or '''Rocket Flower storage''', and often abbreviated as '''RFR''') 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.

Just before collecting the ''Taking Notes: Ocean Surface Dash'' moon, the Rocket Flower was refreshed to allow Mario to continue onward toward the Glass Palace. A frame-perfect refresh could even be performed just before collecting the moon, saving additional time at the expense of difficulty. | ||
Ultimately, with the discovery of [[Fish Clip]], the notes moon was removed from the route in favor of the moon from the Sphynx's underwater vault. Rocket Flower refresh is therefore no longer applicable to current Any% runs, and even the frame-perfect method results in a slower route. | Ultimately, with the discovery of [[Fish Clip]], the notes moon was removed from the route in favor of the moon from the Sphynx's underwater vault.

Currently, one is used while collecting some [[Regional coin|regional coins]] under shallow water in the [[Seaside Kingdom]]. In the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], Rocket Flower refreshes can be used while transporting two of the [[Seed|seeds]] into pots. Lastly, in the [[Snow Kingdom]], a refresh can be used while collecting the ''Dashing Over Cold Water!'' moon, to then continue on upwards to collect the ''Dashing Above and Beyond!'' moon. | ||
