Tips for Finding Wonder Seeds

Nearly every level in Super Mario Bros. Wonder rewards you with one Wonder Seed simply for reaching the flagpole at the end. However, to find every single seed, you’ll need to explore more thoroughly within each level.

Look for Wonder Flowers

Most levels contain a Wonder Flower. Collecting this unique item triggers a transformative event, often dramatically altering the level’s environment, gravity, or visual style. These “Wonder Effects” typically lead to a sequence or challenge that culminates in the discovery of a Wonder Seed.

Some Levels Have Extra Wonder Seeds

Beyond the seeds indicated directly on the world map, some levels hide a third Wonder Seed. Finding these hidden seeds is often key to unlocking new routes to previously inaccessible levels on the world map – and thus, finding even more Wonder Seeds. We’ll specifically point out which levels require finding a hidden seed in the list below. To access special world mario wonder, finding these secret exits is essential.

Buy the Sensor Badge

Upon reaching World 5, the Fungi Mines, visit the Poplin Shop located there. You can purchase a valuable Sensor Badge. Equipping this badge causes a pinging sound when you are near significant collectibles such as 10 Flower Coins, Wonder Flowers, and most importantly, Wonder Seeds, making your search much easier.
