Rift Mario[1] is a Mario-like enemy that appears in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. It appears during a Wonder Effect in Color-Switch Dungeon and Beware of the Rifts, in which it follows the player around the level and vanishes after a Wonder Seed is retrieved. Any collision with Rift Mario will cause the player to take damage. It can travel through blocks or obstacles if the player puts them in its way, but it can be stunned by a Wonder POW Block's shockwave or a fireball from Fire Mario. Hitting Rift Mario with 50 fireballs defeats it. Digging underneath Rift Mario with a Drill Mushroom will cause it to look around in confusion, searching for the player.
In multiplayer, it will always follow whichever player currently has the crown. In the event a player loses their crown, it will idle briefly before traveling directly towards the new crown-bearer's path, resuming its chase from there.
Rift Mario is very similar in function to Cosmic Clones and appearance to Cosmic Mario.
