“I've found the last of the Koopalings! I had a hunch that he was near here somewhere. I'm watching him closely to make sure he doesn't run off. Please, get here as fast as you can!”

Ludwig's Showdown! (known as Bellabel Park Brigade Tent on the map) is a level in Bellabel Park in Super Mario Bros. Wonder – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park. It is unlocked after the player defeats the rest of the Koopalings in their respective worlds. It is a variation of the level Rolla Koopa Derby. This course houses one Bellabel Flower and has a difficulty of four stars.

Layout

The course starts with Ludwig near some Marimba Blocks, standing on the ground. After that, the player, Captain Toad, and the Recruit Poplin enter the screen and face him to retrieve one of the seven Bellabel Flowers that he stole. After the player presses on the last dialogue, he proceeds to transform into his Wonder form using Bowser's Wonder power. This puts the course in a Wonder Effect, giving the level a rainy atmosphere with clouds.

Throughout the level, lightning strikes on the course. Wind is also appears, coming from either side of the screen.

In some sections of the level, there are Downpour Clouds that rain continuously.

When the player reaches the long corridor, Ludwig will laugh. There is a Checkpoint Flag, and afterwards there will be a Plucky that throws a ? Capsule containing a Super Flower Pot. After the player reaches the end of the second staircase, they will walk near Ludwig.

He proceeds to talk, stating that the player will not obtain the last Bellabel Flower.

In the first phase, Ludwig will cast wind. The player must avoid getting electrocuted by Ludwig's lightning, coming downward from Ludwig's cloud-like bottom, by passing underneath him. After that, three Downpour Clouds will appear and Ludwig will point his finger at the player to fire lightning at them. The player must use the Downpour Clouds to climb up and stomp Ludwig.

After the first hit, Ludwig will summon two smaller, grayscale clones. Then, they will cast wind. Ludwig and his clones will create lighting continuously striking downward from their bottoms. When the player passes the second clone, they will stop casting lightning and they will be positioned in the arena. Then three Downpour Clouds will appear and Ludwig with his clones will point their fingers at the player to fire lightning at them.

After the second hit, Ludwig will become bigger and will summon four clones. The pattern from the second phase will repeat, now with four clones.

After the third hit, a Plucky will appear holding a ? Capsule containing a Super Flower Pot, and then it leaves.

Then Ludwig will summon four clones and he will go upward. The player must chase him by swimming up the water from a Downpour Cloud while the clones pursue the player while firing constantly lightning from their fingers.

When the player reaches Ludwig, he will make the clones merge with him, and he will be bigger and angrier; this will start the final phase. Ludwig will start attacking the player by firing three sets of three lightning bolts each. Then Cloud Lifts will appear that the player must climb up to damage him.

After the fourth hit, Ludwig will fire a set of five thunderbolts that will rotate; the player must climb up while avoiding the thunderbolts cast from Ludwig to damage him.

After the fifth hit, Ludwig will fire three sets of five lightning bolts each.

After the last hit, Ludwig will return to his normal form and then he will jump off-screen.

Then, the Recruit Poplin and Captain Toad will walk in and a Bellabel Flower will appear at the center of the screen to collect.
