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.[2] The goal of every Wonder Effect is to collect a Wonder Seed, which ends the Wonder Effect. Some Wonder Effects have time limits.
Mechanics
Wonder Flowers can be found in almost every level, and each flower has a respective Wonder Seed that ends the effect. Wonder Effects can end prematurely (represented with a distinct sound) if:
- All players are KO'd
- Any time limits on the effect are reached
- The goal pole is reached
Failing a Wonder Effect will not cause the flower to disappear. The player can grab them to try again as many times as they like, as long as it's possible to touch the flower.
