Wonder]]''. In their living form, they resemble {{wp|Chinese dragon}}s.

|
| Ancient Dragon fossils can be found in most of [[Deep Magma Bog]]'s [[level]]s as either flat [[Semisolid Platform]]s or rotating circular platforms like the [[wheel lift]]s of ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. The fossilized dragons can be temporarily brought back to life during [[Wonder Effect]]s in [[Dragon Boneyard]], [[Deep Magma Bog Special Solar Roller]], and [[The Final Battle! Bowser's Rage Stage]]. Living Ancient Dragons travel through the air and through [[lava]] on set paths like the [[Dragon (Yoshi's Story)|dragon]]s from ''Yoshi's Story'', though they have a wider range of motion and may loop on themselves unlike the latter.
| | '''Dragons''' are an extinct species<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzSG5N0tD3o Soluce Super Mario Bros. Wonder 100% - Cimetière des dragons]</ref> which only appears in two levels of ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''. Their fossils can be found in [[Deep Magma Bog]]'s [[Dragon Boneyard]] and make for either flat or possibly rotating circular platforms that the player can stand on. This level's [[Wonder Effect]] brings one of the fossilized dragons back to life. It serves as a platform that the player must ride on in order to traverse the level in a similar fashion to [[dragon]]s from ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. |

|
| In Dragon Boneyard, an Ancient Dragon serves as a platform that the player must ride to locate a [[Wonder Seed]]. Three flying Ancient Dragons appear in Deep Magma Bog Special Solar Roller and act as platforms for [[Spike-Ball Mario]] to roll on. A single Ancient Dragon appears in The Final Battle! Bowser's Rage Stage to transport the player over a gap. A [[dark]]-obscured Ancient Dragon that helps the player touch the names floating by also appears in the end credits.
| | Dragons also appear in [[Deep Magma Bog Special Solar Roller]] only in their alive form as a result of the Wonder Effect. [[Spike-Ball Mario]] must use them as temporary platforms. |
