Wonder Effects are the central mechanic of Super Mario Bros. Wonder, triggered by collecting Wonder Flowers. Collecting them in different levels causes various effects, including making certain pipes move up and down or bend, stretching players and enemies, transforming the player into something different like a Spike Ball, causing hordes of enemies to appear,[1] or spawning flower coins. During a Wonder Effect, a wavy effect is added to the corners of the screen, and a decimal place is added to the flower coin counter as smaller flower coins are scattered throughout the stage, with ten of them adding up to a single coin.[2] The goal of every Wonder Effect is to collect a Wonder Seed, which ends the Wonder Effect. Some Wonder Effects have time limits.

Additionally, a group of voices can be heard exclaiming "Won-der!" as the effect takes place.

Mechanics

A Wonder Flower can be found in almost every level, and each Wonder Effect features a Wonder Seed that ends the effect once collected. Wonder Effects can end prematurely (accompanied by a distinct sound) if:

  • All players are defeated.
  • The time limit on the effect (if present) runs out.
  • Players proceed to the next scene (usually via a Warp Pipe) without collecting the Wonder Seed.
  • The Goal Pole is reached.

Failing a Wonder Effect objective causes the Wonder Flower to reappear, allowing the player to try again if it is possible to reach the flower again.
