The '''Wonder Flower''' is a flower [[List of power-ups|power-up]] that first appeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''.

==History==
===''Super Mario Bros. Wonder''===
In ''Super Mario Bros. Wonder'', Wonder Flowers activate [[Wonder Effect]]s when collected, which change some mechanics in the level or transform the player. Every main level has one Wonder Flower, and the Wonder Effect they create always leads to a [[Wonder Seed]]. Wonder Flowers come in different colors depending on the world in which they are found, being blue in [[Pipe-Rock Plateau]], cyan in [[Fluff-Puff Peaks]], red-magenta in [[Shining Falls]], yellow in [[Sunbaked Desert]], green in [[Fungi Mines]], purple with a black face and white eyes in [[Deep Magma Bog]], orange in the [[Petal Isles]], and gray with a yellow highlight in the [[Special World]]. Once the Wonder Effect's respective Wonder Seed is collected, the Wonder Flower turns gray and transparent. One Wonder Flower also plays a major role in the game's plot, as Bowser arrived in the [[Flower Kingdom]] during the opening sequence to steal it, and uses it to merge himself, his Koopa Clown Car, and the Flower Castle together to form a [[Castle Bowser|flying fortress]] in his own likeness.

===''Super Mario Run''===
Blue Wonder Flowers appeared in ''[[Super Mario Run]]'' during the second promotional ''Super Mario Bros. Wonder'' event from December 20, 2023 to March 15, 2024 in the Toad Rally mode.<ref>{{cite|language=ja|author=Nintendo|date=December 20, 2023|url=topics.nintendo.co.jp/article/087f2af4-b755-426d-899e-84fea04709e0|title=『スーパーマリオ ラン』で期間限定の『スーパーマリオブラザーズ ワンダー』スペシャルイベント開催中。|publisher=nintendo.co.jp|accessdate=December 20, 2023}}</ref> They replaced and behaved identically to [[Coin Rush Star]]s, activating Coin Rush when the meter was filled up while also changing all [[coin]]s into [[Gold Goomba]]s and [[Pink Coin (Super Mario Run)|Pink Coins]] into [[flower coin]]s. A Wonder Flower also appeared in the icon for version 3.1.0 of the game and on a stamp for the event's Stamp Cards.

===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
The blue Wonder Flower, paired with a [[Talking Flower]], appears as a single, Novice-class {{iw|smashwiki|support spirit}} in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', introduced in the "{{iw|smashwiki|Showtime and Wonder Spirits!}}" spirit event that began on the same day as ''[[Princess Peach: Showtime!]]''{{'}}s release on March 22, 2024. Applying the [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] to a character equips them with a [[Fire Flower]] at the start of a battle. In their spirit battle, the Wonder Flower is represented by a tiny, blue [[Kirby]]; during the battle, the Skull Kid [[Assist Trophy]] appears and turns all fighters invisible, a reference to Wonder Effects.

==Concept and creation==
The Wonder Flower was conceived as part of an effort to introduce surprising elements that would challenge the player.<ref name="Wired">{{cite|language=en|author=Farokhmanesh, Megan|date=August 31, 2023|url=www.wired.com/story/super-mario-bros-wonder-nintendo-switch-mouri-tezuka-interview|title=''Super Mario Bros. Wonder'' Is What Happens When Devs Have Time to Play|publisher=Wired|accessdate=August 31, 2023}}</ref> The original idea was to include items that would warp players to a new area but producer [[Takashi Tezuka]] found the idea uninteresting.<ref>{{cite|quote=If you're still just going to warp to a different area, it's still the same. Why don't you just change where you are right now?|author=[[Takashi Tezuka]]|title=Wired interview}}</ref><ref name="Wired"/> To gather suggestions for effects the Wonder Flower could have, director [[Shiro Mouri]] and Tezuka polled the entire development team of ''Super Mario Bros. Wonder'' no matter their seniority or role on the project, receiving a little over 2,000 suggestions.<ref name="Wired"/>
