“This is the final challenge. Clear it, and you'll be a truly amazing player!”

—Opening message tip, Super Mario Bros. Wonder

The Final-Final Test Badge Marathon is the final course in the Special World and, subsequently, the final course of Super Mario Bros. Wonder. It features many challenges that require the use of badges. Beating The Final Test Wonder Gauntlet unlocks a path from there to this level, but only if the player has collected all Wonder Seeds, 10-flower coins, and golden flags available so far, and has cleared The Final Battle! Bowser's Rage Stage. It is the equivalent to the Grandmaster Galaxy's The Perfect Run mission from Super Mario Galaxy 2, Super Mario 3D Land's Special 8-Crown, Super Mario 3D World's Champion's Road, and Super Mario Odyssey's Darker Side, being designed to be the most challenging level in the game. This course features a single Wonder Seed, and completing the course along with collecting all 10-flower coins and reaching the top of the Goal Pole unlocks the final Poplin house WONDER?. This level's Wonder Seed, 10-flower coins, and top of the Goal Pole do not count towards their respective medal requirements on the player's save file. This is the only Special World level without a Wonder Effect, as well as the only level in the Special World to feature Checkpoint Flags.

Unlike Badge Challenges, this is a regular level, meaning the player loses a life normally when defeated, but keeps 10-flower coins collected up to that point unless the level is exited before being cleared.

Layout

The level takes place in a factory resembling the courses found in Castle Bowser. It is split into a series of rooms separated by pipes; each room automatically changes the player's current badge to a certain Action Badge or Expert Badge, and the player must use said badge to navigate the obstacles in the room. There are a total of 10 rooms, and the level features two Checkpoint Flags.

The first room uses the Parachute Cap badge, and the player must use it to dodge Sugarstars while activating Wow Buds to lower the poison until reaching safe ground. The second room uses Floating High Jump, and the player must jump and Ground Pound to propel an accordion-like lift while avoiding large poison geysers. The third room uses Dolphin Kick, which allows the player to dash away from underwater electricity blocks that activate quickly. Clearing this room leads to the first Checkpoint Flag.

The fourth room uses Crouching High Jump, where the player must quickly charge and activate its ability quickly along Zip Tracks to avoid poison geysers and Munchers. The fifth room uses Wall-Climb Jump, where the player must outrun rising poison by using the ability and jumping on the seeds from Melon Piranha Plants, while Lil Sparkies and Hotheads move across platforms. The sixth room uses Spring Feet, and requires navigating increasingly thin platforms with large and rapidly moving Fire Bars while subject to jumping perpetually. Clearing this room leads to the second Checkpoint Flag.

The seventh room uses Jet Run, requiring the player to repeatedly jump in mid-air after running off platforms, followed by Missile Megs, causing the player to move at an extremely high speed, and finally platforms that slope upward, which changes the trajectory of running off their edges. The eighth room uses Boosting Spin Jump, necessitating that the player use it to prevent themselves from falling into a bottomless pit, navigate tight corridors of Spike Traps, and latch back onto a Zip Track. The ninth room uses Grappling Vine, so that the player can latch onto small walls surrounded by Spike Traps and climb along Hot-Hot Rocks while they are not emitting magma. The tenth and final room uses Invisibility; while being invisible, the player must jump across triangular bumpers, a magenta Bloomp launched to the right from a pump, and several green Bloomps approaching from the right. To aid the player in discerning their location, many clouds are present in this room, which disappear when the player comes into contact with them. The end of this room has a staircase of Hard Blocks and a final bumper leading to the Goal Pole, where the Wonder Seed is obtained.

10-flower coins

• 10-flower coin 1: In the Dolphin Kick room, at the bottom of a circle of electricity blocks. Collecting it necessitates traversing the circle a second time or taking damage in order to progress.
• 10-flower coin 2: In the Wall-Climb Jump room, on the right of the platform after the first Hothead. It can be collected by falling from a higher platform or by jumping on a Melon Piranha Plant's seeds.
• 10-flower coin 3: In the Invisibility room, above a large, rotating triangular bumper surrounded by bottomless pits.
