With Super Mario Bros. Wonder available now on the Nintendo Switch, the time has come to embark on a wonderful 2D adventure. Mario is back with the extended gang, resulting in a playable roster of 12 characters and with eight worlds to conquer in the Flower Kingdom, we’re on hand to walk you guys through how to obtain every Wonder Seed and Flower Coin available.
To kick things off, we’re going to do a quick little walkthrough to explain the purples of Flower Coins, Wonder Flowers, Wonder Seeds and Secret Exits before diving right into the Petal Isles stage, Robbird Cove:
What are Flower Coins?
Flower Coins are large purple coins that can be found on given stages. Some will be obviously visible when exploring through levels, but others can be hidden and require players to meet a certain requirement to revel them. On stages where Flower Coins are present, there are three to be found and all are required to count towards a level’s complete completion.
What are Wonder Flowers?
Wonder Flowers are an item players can encounter during a level, which once interacted with, unleashes a Wonder Effect that immediately impacts the current stage. Where there is a Wonder Flower, there is always a Wonder Flower waiting to be discovered.
What are Wonder Seeds?
Wonder Seeds are the main collectable this time around, with Mario and friends needing to collect them in order to advance through the game. One Wonder Seed will always be given to the player upon completing a stage, but a second one can be obtained by activating the Wonder Flower and traversing the Wonder Effect to collect the Wonder Seed.
On some levels, it is possible there is a third Wonder Seed available, but in order to acquire it, players will need to discover the Secret Exit in order to obtain it. Wonder Seeds can also be purchased for 100 Purple Coins at Poplin Shops and through completing Challenge levels.
What are Secret Exits?
Not present on every level, Secret Exits are a secondary exit players can discover by taking a different route and encountering a second Flagpole at the end of the level. Jumping on the Flagpole will end the current level and reward players with a new Wonder Seed.
Every Robbird Cove Wonder Seed & Flower Coin:
Flower Coins: 3 | Wonder Seeds: 2
- Flower Coin #1: When using the Dolphin Kick Badge or swimming normally, but using a shell, swim into the current coming out of a red pipe to be taken to a secluded area with the Flower Coin.
- Flower Coin #2: Just before the checkpoint, but after the sea anemone, with the Dolphin Kick Badge, smash through the blocks and the POW block to the right to enter a red pipe, taking you to an area with the Flower Coin.
- Flower Coin #3: After the yellow falling platform, continue to head right until you come across another area where you can use the Dolphin Kick Badge to smash through the blocks and reach the Flower Coin.
- Wonder Flower / Wonder Seed #1: Beneath the yellow falling platform, there is an orange flower bud. Swimming into it will cause it to move. Follow it to reach the Wonder Flower. Swim into it and the Wonder Effect will commence, causing the stage to reverse air pockets with water and createing a fun little maze for players to navigate, in your efforts to reach the Wonder Seed.
- Wonder Seed #2: Reach the end of the stage and climb onto the Flagpole.
As always, we hope you found this guide helpful.
