World map

Shining Falls is the third world in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. The entrance to this world is initially locked by a Wonder Piranha, requiring 8 Wonder Seeds from Petal Isles to unlock. Shining Falls is a dark, metallic, golden polygonal landscape composed of large oblongs and golden octahedrons, which sits before a golden sea. The area depicts multiple large octahedral structures which float in the sky, and some of them pour golden waterfalls down towards the landscape below, with these structures sometimes being seen within levels. The world, whose storyline revolves around Master Poplin, is thematically inspired by Japan in many respects, like the shapes of its clouds being based on egasumi (エ霞), a type of traditional Japanese pattern named for its shape, which is similar to the katakana 「エ」.

This world contains pink Wonder Flowers and Wonder Seeds, and there are a total of 20 Wonder Seeds and one Royal Seed to collect, the least out of the game's standard worlds. It is the only standard world without a KO Arena.

Levels[edit]

Shining Falls contains thirteen levels and a Poplin Shop. No palace is featured here; instead, the world's Royal Seed is given to the player by Master Poplin after completing the final trial.
