The bonk method works similarly to the standard ground pound method, but is somewhat less convenient since it requires locating a wall to bonk on. 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.

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.
This method is by far the hardest method of performing a Rocket Flower refresh, and involves collecting a moon immediately after performing a [[cap throw]]. The window to perform this cap throw is only a single frame, but the frame window seems to vary depending on the type of cap throw.


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.
This method was previously known as the "two-frame" method prior to determining the exact frame window, as the window was believed to be two frames rather than one.
