How to Find Every Secret World Entrance in Super Mario Bros. Wonder
The Special World is a challenging realm in Super Mario Bros. Wonder, serving as the eighth world in the game’s progression. Every level within the Special World is rated five stars for difficulty, and each contains two Wonder Seeds for players to discover. Unlocking these demanding stages requires finding Special World entrances, which aren’t always straightforward to locate. This guide from Shocknaue Entertainment News will detail how to reach the Special World and pinpoint the location of every entrance.
Accessing the Special World involves locating specific “propeller flowers” scattered across the game’s map. These flowers don’t transport you directly to a central Special World hub, but rather to a specific level within the Special World. Think of these Special World entrances as hidden extensions of the main world maps. There’s one entrance found in each of the six main worlds, plus an additional one in the Petal Isles hub area. Many of these are deliberately concealed. Here’s a breakdown of where to find every Special World entrance across all seven worlds in Super Mario Bros. Wonder.
