The '''Wonder Flower''' is a flower [[List of power-ups|power-up]] that first appeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''.
A '''Wonder Flower'''<ref>[https://youtu.be/s7t5jnpkCkI Nintendo Direct 6.21.2023 - Nintendo Switch]</ref> is a flower power-up that appears in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''. When collected, it activates [[Wonder Effect]]s, which change some mechanics in the level or transform the player. Wonder Flowers come in different colors depending on the world in which they are found, such as blue, red, green, yellow, and purple. It also plays a major role in the game's plot, as Bowser arrived in the [[Flower Kingdom]] to steal one of the Wonder Flowers for his own use, managing to succeed in front of everyone and using it to merge himself, his Koopa Clown Car, and Prince Florian's castle together to form a [[Castle Bowser|flying fortress]] in his own likeness; therefore taking over the whole Flower Kingdom.
 
==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.

==Trivia==
* The appearance and effects of the Wonder Flower bear a striking resemblance to the ''{{wp|Ipomoea}}'', a genus from a group of {{wp|morning glory}} flowers whose seeds cause hallucinations similar to LSD. The [[Wonder Seed]] has the opposite effect, deactivating the current Wonder Effect when collected.
