Countdown to Drop Down is a course in Fluff-Puff Peaks in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. It is unlocked after clearing Fluff-Puff Peaks Flying Battleship, and its own completion unlocks Break Time! Zip-Go-Round. This level houses two Wonder Seeds, and has a difficulty of three stars.
Layout
The level starts off with a long Dropdown Countdown Lift starting at three which has two ? Blocks above it and some Cloud Lifts and Cloud Blocks 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 coins and a flower coin above it. Next is more Dropdown Countdown Lifts and some Up-Down Blocks before a pipe that sends out green Koopa Paratroopas. 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 ? Blocks in the middle of the track, while the yellow pipe sends out more green Koopa Paratroopas. Three yellows pipes and a Melon Piranha Plant take the player to the Checkpoint Flag.
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. As the player jumps on the lift a Lakitu appears that throws Spinies. The lift takes the player past some ? Blocks, a yellow pipe that has the course's Wonder Flower below it, some Brick Blocks with a 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.
The Wonder Flower can be reached by using a Lakitu's Cloud. Upon collecting it, the player starts freefalling, and Super Stars start appearing. This section consists of some coins, small flower coins, and Smogrins. 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.
10-flower coins
- 10-flower coin 1: Found in a sub-area that is accessed via both of the green pipes next to each other. Below it is a long Dropdown Countdown Lift starting at one.
- 10-flower coin 2: Found in a sub-area that is accessed via a green pipe after activating a Happy Flower that makes Cloud Blocks appear next to it. In the sub-area, the player must carry the Red POW Block and throw it upwards so that it breaks the Brick Blocks holding this 10-flower coin.
- 10-flower coin 3: Found below the set of Dropdown Countdown Lifts that start at two.
