The level starts off with a long Dropdown Countdown Lift starting at three which has two [[? Block]]s above it and some [[Cloud Lift]]s and [[Cloud Block]]s below. After two large red blocks is two Dropdown Countdown Lifts with a [[Melon Piranha Plant]] below them, before a set of three lifts with a Melon Piranha Plant below each one, with the middle one having some [[coin]]s and a [[flower coin]] above it. Next is more Dropdown Countdown Lifts and some Shoot Blocks before a [[pipe]] that sends out green [[Koopa Paratroopa]]s. After a Dropdown Countdown Lift with a yellow pipe on the right is a long Dropdown Countdown Lift starting at ten. This lift is on a looped [[track]] with two [[Long ? Block]]s in the middle of the track, while the yellow pipe sends out more green Koopa Paratroopas. Three yellow pipes and a Melon Piranha Plant will take the player to the [[Checkpoint Flag]].

After a Dropdown Countdown Lift with a yellow pipe on the right is a long Dropdown Countdown Lift starting at ten. This lift is on a looped [[track]] with two [[Long ?

Next is a Melon Piranha Plant followed by a [[Roulette Block]] and two yellow pipes, which lead to a long Dropdown Countdown Lift starting at ten that goes along a track, above a large [[pit]]. This Dropdown Countdown Lift will carry the player for most of the remaining level. As the player jumps on the lift a [[Lakitu]] appears, which will throw [[Spiny|Spinies]] at the player for the duration of the ride if it isn't defeated. The lift takes the player past some ? Blocks, a horizontal yellow pipe that has the course's [[Wonder Flower]] below it, which can be reached by using a [[Lakitu's Cloud]]. Upon collecting it, the player starts freefalling, and [[Super Star]]s start appearing. This section consists of some coins, small flower coins, and [[Smogrin]]s. The [[Wonder Seed]] appears after some time, which starts moving left and right, and collecting it ends the effect and sends the player back to the top of the pipe where the Wonder Flower was located, with the Dropdown Countdown Lift to their right. The effect lasts for 30 seconds.

Wonder)|Happy Flower]] inside, a set of Up-Down Blocks with a track of coins and a flower coin above it, a set of Dropdown Countdown Lifts that each start at two that has a Roulette Block above them, and a yellow pipe that has many Melon Piranha Plants on it. Three yellow pipes follow, with an [[Invisible Character Block]] below the third one that only [[Mario]] can see that contains a flower coin. The third pipe sends out a Melon Piranha Plant whose seeds help the player reach the top of the [[Goal Pole]].


As the Dropdown Countdown Lift continues, it takes the player past a set of [[Brick Block]]s with a [[Wow Bud]] inside, a set of Shoot Blocks with a track carrying coins and a flower coin above it, a set of Dropdown Countdown Lifts that each start at two with a Roulette Block above them, and finally a long horizontal yellow pipe that has many Melon Piranha Plants on it. Three yellow pipes follow, with a [[Hidden Character Block]] below the third one that only [[Mario]] can see, containing a flower coin.

==Trivia==
*This is the only level in ''Super Mario Bros. Wonder'' to not have a black gradient indicating a bottomless [[pit]]. This is likely due to the Wonder Effect scrolling the screen down.
*[[Melon Piranha Plant]]s and [[Dropdown Countdown Lift]]s, which are primarily featured in this level, both seem to reference ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. The Melon Piranha Plants spitting watermelon seeds is similar to a mechanic from that game where Yoshi, as well as certain enemies, can do the same thing after eating [[watermelon]]s, while the Dropdown Countdown Lifts strongly resemble [[Countdown Platform]]s from that game.
*The way the Dropdown Countdown Lift is used during the long track section of the level with the [[Lakitu]] is somewhat reminiscent of [[Limited Lift]]s from ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', with the player needing to prevent oncoming enemies from touching the lift and decreasing the counter so that it can continue carrying them through the level.
