{italic title|Super Mario Bros. Wonder script}

This is the script of Super Mario Bros. Wonder.

At several points, narration references the player's chosen character by name; this is represented here with "[character]". In these places, the game refers to both Yellow Toad and Blue Toad as simply "Toad", and to all of the Yoshis as "Yoshi". The game's text also has many phrases highlighted in blue; this page uses a lighter shade, to distinguish them from links.

Opening

Playable area

The game begins with the player's chosen character entering from the left. A short introductory narration then appears:

Narration: "Welcome to the Flower Kingdom! It's just a short hop away from the Mushroom Kingdom."
"Upon receiving an invitation from Prince Florian, [character] and the others are traveling here for the first time!"

This introductory area consists of a simple straightaway with several Talking Flowers, as well as several of the game's playable characters walking to the right. Playing as one of the characters mentioned below will prevent them from appearing in the described locations.

The very first Talking Flower is found immediately, on the ground before a fountain. A second one flies above the right side of the fountain.

Talking Flower 1: "Hey there!"
Talking Flower 2: "Where's the party?"

Mario and Luigi are encountered ahead, followed by another flower.

Talking Flower: "Oooh! So exciting!"

After this, there are two Poplins, and a group consisting of Yellow Toad, Blue Toad, and Peach riding Yoshi. There is a Talking Flower high up in the air, so much so that it will not comment if the player stays on the ground:

Talking Flower: "So many visitors today."

Shortly before the end of the area is a bush that Nabbit peaks out of, and then the last Talking Flower here, accompanied by two more Poplins.

Talking Flower: "Have a great time!"

Upon reaching the end of this area, the camera pans to the right and slightly up, framing the Flower Castle in the background, and the Super Mario Bros. Wonder logo appears. It transitions to the next scene with a fade to black.

Main cutscene

The scene fades back in on the sky, with the sound of the characters chattering amongst themselves. The camera slowly pans down to the ground, showing the gathered characters—Mario, Luigi, Peach, and the Toads on the left, and two Poplins, Toadette, and Daisy on the right. In the middle is a podium with a Wonder Flower floating above it.

Prince Florian enters, jumping up onto the podium from behind it, and gaining the attention of the other characters. He bows and receives brief applause. As he begins talking, Kamek flies by in the background. After seemingly giving a short speech, Prince Florian gestures up at the Wonder Flower.

Kamek flies by again, much closer. Florian becomes worried, and looks in the direction Kamek flew. He jumps back in alarm with a large "!" bubble.

Bowser flies in with his Koopa Clown Car, to everyone's concern. He breathes fire, and Kamek and Bowser Jr. briefly fly by. He eyes the Wonder Flower, before lunging for it. As he does, Mario jumps for the flower as well, but Bowser gets to it first.

The power of the Wonder Flower activates, causing Bowser, his Clown Car, and the Flower Castle in the background to glow. They all transform into particles that swirl together into a ball, before growing into Bowser's new form: Castle Bowser, a giant combination of all three elements. The sky turns dark, and Kamek and Bowser Jr. fly to Castle Bowser's sides to laugh along with him.

Castle Bowser concentrates, spreading dark smoke with a green outline; it seeps into the ground, causing giant Wonder Piranhas to sprout. The ground shakes, causing the characters in the foreground to stumble. After laughing once more, Castle Bowser flies off, passing closer as he does. An iris out marks the end of this portion of the cutscene.

The scene irises back in at a Poplin in front of their house, near a Goal Pole. The Poplin spots something in the distance and looks curiously, before reacting in alarm as the sky darkens again. The Poplin runs inside their house in a panic. Streams of the dark smoke come and transform the house into a fortress, trapping the Poplin inside; the Goal Pole's flag also transforms into one with a Bowser symbol. The Poplin exclaims "HELP!" as Castle Bowser starts flying by in the background.

A scene transition takes the focus back to Prince Florian and the other gathered characters; Florian and the Poplins are distraught.

Prince Florian: "Was that King B-Bowser? How could he steal our Wonder Flower... and our Flower Castle too?!"
"I can't believe he merged with our beautiful castle like that. It... It's just so awful!"
"Bowser will make a terrible mess of our whole kingdom if we don't stop him somehow..."

Suddenly, Mario jumps twice, causing Florian to react in happy surprise. Mario puts a hand on his chest proudly. The other playable characters join in too, cheerfully chiming in.

Prince Florian: "You'll help us? Thank you!"
"I'd like to be your guide, if you don't mind. Let me just..."

Florian jumps into Mario's head, then pops back out, clinging to his hat. With that, everyone sets off, with the Poplins waving them goodbye. Afterwards, the four Yoshis and Nabbit run past, heading in the same direction; the Poplins wave for them too.

Talking Flower: "I believe in youuu!"

An iris out marks the end of the cutscene. Afterward, the player's chosen character walks into the world map, and a banner reading "W1 Pipe-Rock Plateau" appears.

Pipe-Rock Plateau

Welcome to the Flower Kingdom!

Talking Flowers

The course's first Talking Flower is found at the very beginning:

Talking Flower: "Onward and upward!"

Another is found shortly after:

Talking Flower: "What a beautiful day."
"Love a good breeze."

The third one is near a sleeping Goomba.

Talking Flower: "That Goomba looks so serene."

This flower reacts if the Goomba is woken up or defeated:

"Well then."

One Talking Flower is on the edge of a shallow pool of water:

Talking Flower: "Mmm, refreshing!"

The fourth Talking Flower is found after the second 10-flower coin.

Talking Flower: "Ahaha!"

There is a Hidden Block with a Propeller Flower a short distance to the right of this flower. If it is hit, the flower reacts.

"Oh!"
"Would ya look at that!"

In the place the Propeller Flower leads to, a Wow Bud can be found that turns the Cloud Blocks into coins that rain down.

"Coiiiiins!"

This course has a secret bonus area in the sky, only accessible if the player is using the Add ! Blocks Badge. This area has a single Talking Flower:

Talking Flower: "Wow!"
"Go, go, go!"

Back in the main course, right after the Checkpoint Flag, there is a pair of Talking Flowers by a horizontal pipe, one at each end.

Talking Flower 1: "Heyyyy!"
Talking Flower 2: "Hiiii!"

A Talking Flower reacts to the Wonder Flower appearing: (TODO: There's some condition for this cutscene to happen; something like "have you completed this wonder effect before?" I've found it's not that exactly, but I've yet to pin it down precisely.)

Talking Flower: "Whoa..."

If the Wonder Effect is trigged, this flower reacts as the pipes below it start moving:

"Whoa!"
"Whoa-whoa!"

Another flower is found near the Wonder Seed.

Talking Flower: "What's that?"

When the Wonder Seed is collected, this flower has something different to say.

"Hey, you! What WAS that?"

Earlier in the course, an pipe leading to an underground area can be accessed if the Wonder Effect is avoided, or by backtracking after it finishes. This area has a Talking Flower found between two wilted flowers.

Talking Flower: "I want some water too!"

This flower reacts if a player in Elephant form splashes water on them.

"Thank you!"
"That trunk sure is useful, huh?"

Just to the right is a group of five Talking Flowers.

Talking Flowers: "Waterrrr!"

If the Wonder Effect is not activated, the Talking Flower that would otherwise comment on the Wonder Seed says this:

Talking Flower: "Didn't you see something back there?"
"You're just gonna leave?"

This course's last Talking Flower is found on the final set of pipes before the Goal Pole. If the Wonder Seed was collected, it says this:

Talking Flower: "Bye-bye!"

If the Wonder Seed has not yet been collected, it says the following instead. This can happen either by avoiding the Wonder Effect entirely, or by going past the seed and reaching this flower with the Wonder Effect still active.

Talking Flower: "So long!"

On completion

After this course is completed for the first time, Prince Florian jumps out of the player's character to talk on the world map:

Prince Florian: "All right! Wonder Seeds are going to be really useful on our adventure."
"Let's go get some more!"

Piranha Plants on Parade

Near the beginning of this course, a Talking Flower looks at the area seen in the background.

Talking Flower: "Wonder if you can get over there..."

The background area can be accessed via a nearby pipe. If the player returns to the Talking Flower after visiting this area, it says this:

"So you CAN get over there!"

The second Talking Flower is found shortly after.

Talking Flower: "Walking plants, huh?"
"Almost as weird as talking plants."

Another Talking Flower is on a platform above the Wonder Flower.

Talking Flower: "Ooh, that's a pretty flower."

This Talking Flower reacts as the Piranha Plants begin singing in the Wonder Effect.

"Ummmm..." (just before they begin singing)
"Are they...singing?" (as the first set begin singing)
"They're singing." (just as the first set leaves)

This is the only Talking Flower seen during the Wonder Effect. If the Wonder Effect is avoided, another Talking Flower can be found on the ceiling near some Long ? Blocks. This flower reacts each time the player jumps into the ceiling here, saying one line per hit. After all the lines are exhausted, the last one repeats.

Talking Flower: "Ouch!"
"Hey!"
"Agh!"
"Stop!"
"I said stop!"

There is one last Talking Flower, shortly after the spot where the Wonder Effect ends. If the Wonder Effect was not triggered, it says this:

Talking Flower: "You should come back sometime."

After the Wonder Effect, it says this:

Talking Flower: "You don't see that every day."

The route to this course's secret exit has the player take a pipe to an area in the foreground. The Talking Flowers in the main area comment as they pass by, starting with the one on the ceiling:

Talking Flower: "Wait a sec!"
"How'd you get over there?"

The Talking Flower near the end says:

Talking Flower: "Heeeey!"
"What are you doing?"

Captain Toad above Deep Magma Bog

If the player finds the secret exit of Piranha Plants on Parade, they can take a pipe to the peak of the mountain above Deep Magma Bog and find Captain Toad there. When stood next to, he has a speech bubble saying "So much smoke..." Talking to him results in this interaction:

Captain Toad: "Quite the surprising place to run into someone, huh?"
"Nice to meet ya! This...IS our first time meeting, right? Or maybe you already know who I am!" (This line is only said if this is the player's first encounter with Captain Toad.)
"I heard there was treasure somewhere around this place, and next thing I knew, here I was!" *
"Do you think anyone lives on those isles over there? And what's with all the smoke?" *
"Also! I found 50 flower coins."
"They're all yours! Should be helpful out in the world. See ya around!"

The player receives the flower coins. Talking to him again will result in him repeating the two lines marked with a * above.

Scram, Skedaddlers!

There are only two simple Talking Flowers in this course. The first floats above the end of the first Marimba Block bridge:

Talking Flower: "Love that sound!"

The second is hidden inside one of the peanut boxes in a pile near the last 10-flower coin.

Talking Flower: "Ya found me!"
"Did I surprise you?" (if the player is near the Talking Flower)

Castle Bowser cutscene

When the player reaches the space on the world map immediately after Scram, Skedaddlers!, a cutscene starts with the camera panning to Castle Bowser, hovering over the next section of Pipe-Rock Plateau.

Castle Bowser: "Ohhh ho ho ho... Isn't this fun!"
"The Flower Castle is me, and I'm the Flower Castle! Soooo much Wonder power!"
"I can feel myself getting stronger...and stronger...AND STRONGER. Soon, everything will be mine!"
"Gwahahaha!"

The camera pans back to the player character, who Prince Florian pops out of.

Prince Florian: "That no-good Bowser! I won't stand for his antics!"
"We've got to get to him somehow!"

The camera pans to a Propeller Flower pad just up ahead.

"Ah! Let's use that Propeller Flower up ahead to catch up!"

The cutscene ends, leaving the player to use the Propeller Flower. When they do, there is a scene transition leading directly into a complementary second cutscene.

This second scene opens on Castle Bowser laughing. He flies across the savanna area, transforming the level dioramas to their uncompleted states and creating Wonder Piranhas as he passes by. When he transforms Pipe-Rock Plateau Palace, Bowser Jr. appears.

Bowser Jr.: "Aw yeeeah! My dad's a CASTLE now!"
"Nobody's gonna be able to stop him now that he's all-powerful! Heh heh!"

Bowser Jr. jumps into the palace. The camera pans back to the beginning of the area, where the player's character arrives via Propeller Flower. Prince Florian jumps out, and the camera pans to center the Wonder Piranha coiled around Badge House in Pipe-Rock Plateau.

Prince Florian: "This is getting worse and worse! And look at the plant coiled around that house over there!"
"Hey, I've got it! Let's try using our Wonder Seeds!"
"I bet that will fix this. They're really powerful!"

The cutscene ends, leaving the player to use the Wonder Seeds to destroy the Wonder Piranha.

Badge House in Pipe-Rock Plateau

First visit

The player's character and Prince Florian enter the Badge House, finding a Poplin with a treasure chest.

Prince Florian: "Is everything all right in here?"
Poplin: "I was so scared! I thought I'd wilt on the spot. But I'm glad I was here to keep this badge safe."
Prince Florian: "Oh, yeah, badges! They have lots of different effects."
"People who travel through the Flower Kingdom like using them."
Poplin: "Um, Prince Florian, if I could be so bold...would you accept this gift from me?"
"I'm sure someone as princely as you will know how to use it best!"

The Parachute Cap badge comes out of the chest, and Florian equips it.

Prince Florian: "Oh, thank you! I've always wanted to wear one of these."
"I can use the power of this badge to help everyone!"

The bud on the Poplin's head blooms.

Poplin: "That brings a bloom to my heart, Prince Florian! I'm happy that you're pleased!"
"Badges will take some trouble out of your travels."

The player character waves goodbye. The camera zooms out when the cutscene ends, revealing a Talking Flower by the exit to the training ground.

Talking Flower: "This way!"

The next area is introduced with a "Training Ground" banner, which also includes the description of the Parachute Cap badge. Within the area, there is a Talking Flower atop a pair of Semisolid Platforms, near a line of arrows indicating an arc that can be followed with the Parachute Cap ability.

Talking Flower: "Press in midair!"
"What is , anyway?"

Another Talking Flower is by the training ground's exit.

Talking Flower: "See ya later!"

Subsequent visits

Poplin: "I hope the badge I gave you has been useful!"
"It was a round badge. The round ones change your actions. There are also square and triangle badges too."
"I bet you'll find more in your travels!"
Talking Flower: "Wearable powers! Who'd've thought!"

The Talking Flowers in the training ground remain the same.

First open area

Upon reaching the first open area, a short cutscene plays.

Prince Florian: "Oh, look at this place! There's so much to see, but..."
(The camera pans over to Wiggler Race Mountaineering! and the Wonder Piranha surrounding it.)
"There's another one of those icky plants! We're going to need more Wonder Seeds..."
(The camera moves to a wide shot of the open area.)
"So, where do you think we should head first?"
(A picture of the game's map screen appears.)
"If you want to have a look at the map, just press !"

Poplin Shop

In the top-right of the open area is the first Poplin Shop. Their speech bubble says "Welcome!" Talking to them results in this line, before the shopping interface appears.

Poplin Shop: "Hi there! Here at the Poplin Shop, we sell everything! And we accept flower coins as payment."

If the player bought a badge, they receive this question when they finish shopping:

"Do you want to try using a different badge?"

The choices given are "Yes, please!" and "No, thanks." The former opens the badge selection menu.

Regardless of what happens previously, the Poplin Shop finishes with this line:

"Come back again sometime!"

Bulrush Coming Through!

The first Talking Flower here is behind a wall of Hard Blocks. Reaching it requires luring the nearby Bulrush into breaking the blocks, which will also cause it to bash into the wall by the Talking Flower.

Talking Flower: "That was stressful!"

Another Talking Flower is found on top of the second Hip Tree in the course.

Talking Flower: "Bored, bored, bored."

Ground-pounding the Hip Tree causes it to rise up, taking both the player and the Talking Flower to a sky area.

"Wow!"

There is a Talking Flower shortly after the set of Hard Blocks that conceal the Wonder Flower.

Talking Flower: "Something feels...off..."

If the Wonder Effect here is triggered, the Talking Flower reacts just as the Wonder Bulrush herd arrives.

"OooOOaaaAAH!"

After the Wonder Bulrushes destroy the Goal Pole, a Talking Flower is encounter behind it.

Talking Flower: "AaaaAAaaAAAH!"

Past the Wonder Seed is another Talking Flower. If it is visited with the Wonder Effect still active, it says this:

Talking Flower: "You seein' what I'm seein'?"

After the Wonder Effect is finished, it says this:

"That was wild."

Below the second Goal Pole is a tunnel with a Talking Flower in it. This flower's lines are spaced out over time.

Talking Flower: "Hey, someone to talk to!"
"Farewell, lonely days!"
"Ahaha!"

Here Come the Hoppos

This course's first Talking Flower is under some Semisolid Platforms that lead up to the way forward. It is also beside a pit.

Talking Flower: "Heya!"

If a Hoppo is rolled into the pit, it will say this instead:

"Boiiing!"

This course has a sky area accessed by bouncing on a Hoppo. There is a Talking Flower at the entrance to this area.

Talking Flower: "Hi!"

Further into the course, there is a high-up structure made of a set of Hard Blocks and a pair of Long ? Blocks, with a Talking Flower and a Hoppo on it. If the player gets up there—most simply accomplished by knocking the Hoppo down and bouncing on it—the Talking Flower reacts:

Talking Flower: "How'd you get up here?!"

The last Talking Flower of the course is near where the Wonder Flower appears.

Talking Flower: "Ah, what a peaceful day."

During the Wonder Effect, this Talking Flower has several lines, which are used one at a time, each time the player comes near it. After going through all of them, it starts over from the beginning.

"AaaAAah!"
"Wh-what's happening?!"
"Waaaaah!"
"There's so many of them!"
"Do something!"
"There! Over there!"
"It's right there!"
"You can do it!"

After the Wonder Effect, it has this line:

"Phew!"

Rock-breaking Poplin

At the top-middle of the open area is a path blocked by a rock with Bowser-like horns and spikes. Just beside it is a Poplin with a pickaxe, with a speech bubble saying "This rock fell here!" Talking to them results in this interaction:

Poplin: "Oh, it's terrible! This rock fell here because of that awful Bowser!"
"I'd smash it if I could, but it's just so huge..."
"If only I had 10 flower coins... They give us Poplins an energy boost."

The player is given a choice between "Here you go!", with the price of 10 flower coins indicated, and "Maybe later..." Choosing the latter results in this response:

"I really need a boost of energy..."

If the player chooses "Here you go!", but does not have at least 10 flower coins, the following line will trigger:

"Hm, I think I need more flower coins to be back at full strength. Sorry..."

If the player chooses "Here you go!" while having enough flower coins, the Poplin will bloom, and say this:

"Thank you! Now I've got some oomph in my bloom!"
"I'll break this rock in no time!"
"Hey, rock! Stop blocking our path!"
(The Poplin attacks the rock, creating a cloud of dust and ultimately destroying it.)
"I broke the rock with that bloom of oomph you gave me! Please, go through!"

After breaking the rock, the Poplin's ambient speech bubble with read "Head through!", and they will say this if talked to:

"I was blooming with energy thanks to you! Oh, and watch your step!"

Sign about adjusting controls

In the area past the breakable rock, this sign is found in the top-left. Its speech bubble says "Adjust the controls?"

Sign: "You can adjust your controls by pressing and then opening Settings."
"From there, you can customize the controls for actions like dashing or ground pounding if you want to!"
"You can also turn motion controls on or off, change how you access badges after losing a life, and more."

Captain Toad in Fluff-Puff Peaks

In the top-right of the area past the breakable rock is a Warp Pipe, obscured by a cloud. This pipe leads to a detached island in Fluff-Puff Peaks, where Captain Toad is found. When stood next to, he has a speech bubble saying "What a view!"

Captain Toad: "Quite the surprising place to run into someone, huh?"
"Nice to meet ya! This...IS our first time meeting, right? Or maybe you already know who I am!" (This line is only said if this is the player's first encounter with Captain Toad.)
"I was busy exploring—searching for treasure—and next thing I knew, I got caught in a blizzard..." *
"I didn't find much treasure, but the view sure is pretty, huh?" *
"Oh, right! During that blizzard, 50 flower coins came flying right at me!"
"I hope they'll help you out there on your own adventure!"

The player receives the flower coins. Talking to him again will result in him repeating the lines marked with a * above.

Rolla Koopa Derby

The first Talking Flower in this course is above the top of the screen, located on top of a plateau-esque structure. While it remains undisturbed, it repeats this:

Talking Flower: "Zzz..."

If the player reaches this Talking Flower – something made easier by the Hidden Blocks on either side of the plateau – it reacts with this:

"Zzz—HUH?!"
"What is it?"
"Can't a guy get some shut-eye around here?"

The remaining Talking Flowers are encountered only during the Wonder Effect.

(TODO: These flowers clearly have some conditions for talking related to the Wonder Tokens, but I haven't analyzed that properly yet.)

Talking Flower 1: "This is wonderful!"
"So shiny!"
"Look at you—walkin' on air!"
"You should keep going!"

Talking Flower 2: "Wheeeee!"
"Clinky, clinky!"
"So many of them!"
"Make sure you don't miss any!"

Talking Flower 3: "Ohhhh!"
"What's this?"
"Never seen anything like it..."
"*sniff* *sniff* *sniff*"
"Ah..."
"Now that's a good smell."

Wiggler Race Mountaineering!

Before the course

When the player collects 10 Wonder Seeds, enough to destroy the Wonder Piranhas blocking this course, this dialogue occurs:

Prince Florian: "Now that you've collected some Wonder Seeds, I'm sure we can do something with them!"
"Let's go to where that coiled plant is."

During the course

This course starts with a special banner.

"Wiggler Race!"
"Hold / and move to dash! Reach the goal before the Racing Wiggler!"

(TODO: The Talking Flowers that cheer the characters on don't show speech bubble, but they still probably ought to be described)

All of the Talking Flowers in this course have different lines if the player is falling behind. The first of these is located above the first Zip Track, normally saying:

Talking Flower: "Wow, zippy!"

If the player is behind, it says:

Talking Flower: "You got this!"

Above the first bridge of Marimba Blocks is the second and third Talking Flowers, in a pair:

Talking Flower 1: "Go, go, go!"
Talking Flower 2: "You got this!"

wait what's the difference? (pt 1)

Talking Flower 1: "Dash, dash!"
Talking Flower 2: "Daaash!"

wait what's the difference? (pt 2)

If the player passes by these flowers while behind in the race, the one on the left drops a Super Star. While the later pair of Talking Flowers and the single one by the Zip Tracks can also give a Star, this is the only one to say something different for this.

Talking Flower 1: "Use this!"
Talking Flower 2: "Daaash!"

second marimba blocks

Talking Flower 1: "Zooooom!"
Talking Flower 2: "Look at you go!"

If the player is behind, they say:

Talking Flower 1: "You can do it!"
Talking Flower 2: "Dash, dash!"

zip tracks

Talking Flower: "Woooooo!"

If the player is behind, it says:

Talking Flower: "Hurry! Hurry!"

goal, player wins

Talking Flower: "Woo-hoo!"

goal, player loses

Talking Flower: "Ohhh!"
"Give it another go, eh?"

After the course

If the player wins on their first or second try, this dialogue occurs.

Prince Florian: "We did it! We won a Wiggler Race—a Flower Kingdom specialty!"
"Wiggler was nice enough to give us an Auto Super Mushroom Badge to celebrate your victory!"
"It's a really great badge. It triggers the effects of a Super Mushroom when you start a course."
"Want me to wear it?"
(The player is given the choices "Sure!" and "Maybe later.")

If the player wins after losing at least twice—so that Wiggler has already given them the badge—this dialogue is used instead.

Prince Florian: "We did it! We won a Wiggler Race—a Flower Kingdom specialty!"
"Ahhh! I love the feeling of running through a race course!"

losing (even if you did in fact dash!)

Prince Florian: "Wiggler sure is fast. What a tough opponent."
"I bet holding / to dash will make all the difference the next time we race though."

losing twice (counted as clearing the course)

Prince Florian: "What's this? Wiggler let us pass by?"
"It must be impressed that we keep trying to run our best!"
"And for some reason...Wiggler gave us an Auto Super Mushroom Badge!"
"That badge is really great. It triggers the effects of a Super Mushroom when you start a course."
"Want me to wear it?"
(The player is given the choices "Sure!" and "Maybe later.")

losing three times

Prince Florian: "Ugh! We almost had it!"
"If we want to take a break from racing, Wiggler is letting us pass by. We can always come back later!"

losing four or more times

Prince Florian: "Wiggler is so fast, but I know we can be faster!"
"If you hold / to dash, I'm sure we'll cross that finish line first."

Seeing the palace

Prince Florian
"Oh no! They've even managed to take over the palace here!"
"There's a special treasure kept there that's known as a Royal Seed."
"We've got to do something before they use it for some evil purpose!"

Captain Toad encounter #3

Ambient:

Captain Toad
Lost? Me?

Interaction:

Quite the surprising place to run into someone, huh?
(I bet the "first time meeting" line is said at whichever place you encounter first)
I was searching for treasure, and then I started wondering...
Is anyone searching for...me? I'm completely lost.
Anyway, where are we? Do you know?
Oh! I almost forgot! I found 50 flower coins.
Maybe you can make use of them on your adventure. I'm rooting for ya!

Pipe-Rock Plateau Palace

Entrance

On the course's loading screen, Florian gives a reminder:

Prince Florian: "Let's take back the palace! And don't forget that you can press if you want to change the badge we're using, OK?"

At the entrance of the palace, a Talking Flower looks at the dark plant growths.

Talking Flower: "Ew..."
"What am I looking at?"

Bowser Jr.

Bowser Jr. talks to the player character before fighting them. The beginning of the dialogue differs based on whether the player is using the Invisibility badge. Normally it is:

Bowser Jr.: "What, you think you're gonna stop me? Hehe... OK, then. I'll play with you."

But if the player is invisible:

Bowser Jr.: "Huh? Who's there!"
"Ohhhh, you wanna play hide-and-seek, don't ya? Hehe... All right. I'll play with you!"

The dialogue after this does not change:

"This palace is super mega loaded with Dad's Wonder power."
"No way you're gonna beat me! But it's gonna be fun to see you try."

The battle begins without further ado.

Clearing the world

Narration
And so, [character]'s party reclaimed the palace.
With a Royal Seed safely in hand, they set off in pursuit of Bowser, who has somehow turned into a castle!
Can they stop Bowser before he pulls off whatever he is planning?
Talking Flower
See ya later!

Heading to Petal Isles

Prince Florian
The Petal Isles are just ahead. This beautiful place is the heart of our Flower Kingdom.
Now, let's try to catch up with Bowser!

Petal Isles, first section

First entry

Prince Florian
I'm sure that Bowser must be around here...
Whoa! Is that—

Pan to Castle Bowser in the center of the Petal Isles, circled by his six Cloud Piranhas.

Castle Bowser
Heh heh heh... No one can even get close as long as my Cloud Piranhas are here.
Which means I can focus on gathering up aaaall the Wonder power!
Once I've got enough to pull off a big Wonder, the world will be mine!
Gwahahaha!

Pan back to the heroes.

Prince Florian
This is just awful! Isn't there some way we can stop him?

The Royal Seed from the palace pops out of the player's character.

Oh! What's this?!

The Royal Seed floats floats over to Bowser and sucks one of the Cloud Piranhas into itself, before floating off.

Castle Bowser
What?! Where'd that Cloud Piranha go? What have you done!

The Royal Seed returns to the player character.

Prince Florian
So much power... All from just one Royal Seed!
Of course! That's our answer!
I have a request that's almost too much to ask of you... Will you please help me find more Royal Seeds?
They're among our most prized treasures, and I believe we can use them to save the Flower Kingdom!
The Royal Seeds will get rid of the Cloud Piranhas that are swirling around Bowser.
And if we get rid of all of them, we'll be able to reach him!

The player character jumps affirmatively.

Hooray! Thank you!

A map of the Petal Isles appears, with the gate to Fluff-Puff Peaks highlighted.

Well then, let's make our way up to Fluff-Puff Peaks, north of here.
There's a Royal Seed at the palace way up at the top!

The player character and Florian do poses. The camera pans to show the path to Angler Poplin's House appearing.

Angler Poplin's House

Angler Poplin: "Ugh. All the fish have been scared off by that guy. I can't get any fishing done with him around..."
Prince Florian: "Oh, this is awful. We have to help."
"Don't worry! We'll do everything we can to stop Bowser. Once he's beaten, I bet the fish will come back!"
Angler Poplin: "Really? You think that'll work?"

The Angler Poplin blooms.

"Ooh, that's put the bloom back into my day!"
"I know what I can do to help! Take this Wonder Seed. I reeled it in a long time ago."
"Wonder Seeds are so pretty, and every world's seeds have their own color!"
Talking Flower: "All for you!"

The Wonder Seed is released from a chest, and the player character and Florian celebrate. The game returns to the world map.

After Robbird Cove

Prince Florian: "Yikes! Th-that was scary... I usually stay away from birds!"
"After all that, I could use a break. A little shopping might be nice."
"I've heard that the Poplin Shop here sells a helpful ! Block badge."
"And remember that if you want to swap out your badge, just press to see what you've got."

Poplin Shop

Ambient speech bubble:

"Check it out!"

Talked to:

Poplin Shop: "Hi there! Here at the Poplin Shop, we sell everything! Our special ! Block item is super popular."

The view of the world map contracts to a circle to transition to the shop screen.

Badge question:

"Do you want to try using a different badge?"

The player is offered the choices "Yes, please!" and "No, thanks."

Come again:

"Come back again sometime!"

The view zooms back in to show the heroes at the world's entrance.

Prince Florian: "OK! We've arrived at Fluff-Puff Peaks! There should be a Royal Seed at the summit."

A map of Fluff-Puff Peaks appears.

Fluff-Puff Peaks Cabin

Prince Florian: "It's so c-c-cold here..."
Poplin: "Hello, Prince!"
"I welcome you to Fluff-Puff Peaks, where climbers dare the heights of our tranquil mountain."
"The summit is pure bliss, especially if you yodel up there. There's no better echo!"
"But a scamp in a silly mask is up at the summit right now... It's not safe for anyone to go climbing anymore."
"I'll give you a Wonder Seed to help... Take back our beautiful mountain, please. Pretty please?"
Prince Florian: "I won't stand for this—of course we'll help!"
"I bet Bowser Jr. is behind this whole mess—no doubt about it."
"Let's climb to the summit and kick him off the mountain. We'll reclaim the Royal Seed up there too!"
Talking Flower: "Pretty please!"

The Wonder Seed is released from a chest, and the player character and Florian celebrate. The game returns to the world map.

Interaction:

"Oh! Is the path that leads up here back to normal? What a relief!"
"You see, it got blocked just as I made it up here. I've been stuck ever since!"
"The path that climbs to the summit has also been blocked..."
"It'd be nice if we could all go up there again..."
"Maybe I should give up on reaching the top..."

After Up 'n' Down with Puffy Lifts, ambient:

Poplin: "You did it!"

After Up 'n' Down with Puffy Lifts, interaction:

After Fluff-Puff Peaks Flying Battleship

Prince Florian: "Th-that was the scariest thing yet! I reeeeeally don't like heights!"
"Oh, that reminds me..."

Prince Florian: "Come on, let's take back this mountain together! Press if you want to change the badge we're using!"

There is a single Talking Flower at the start of the course:

Talking Flower: "This place is intense..."

Bowser Jr.

Normally, Bowser Jr. says this before battle:

Bowser Jr.: "Hey, it's you!"
"You climbed all the way up to the summit just to play with me, huh?"
"Well, if you wanna play THAT bad, I guess we can."
"I'm gonna do some wild stuff with Wonder power, so you should be extra scared!"

But if the player is using the Invisibility badge:

Bowser Jr.: "Mmm, I'm all snacked up, so it's time for a little nap..."
"Huh? It feels like somebody's watching me..." (There are slight pauses between the last three words.)
"Probably that prince and his friend. They just never go away..."
"Well, I'm not gonna let you bug Dad!"

End of Fluff-Puff Peaks

Narration: "With the Royal Seed from Fluff-Puff Peaks in hand, [character]'s party continues their journey."
"But the road ahead is filled with even more dangers, and [character]'s quest is starting to get much more difficult!"
"Will they overcome what awaits them? How well they use the badges they find will make all the difference."

Talking Flower: "Yodelayheehooooo!"

Prince Florian: "Now, let's use a Propeller Flower to head back to the Petal Isles!"
"The wind up here is pretty strong, so hold on tight!"

Using the second Royal Seed

Returning to the Petal Isles from Fluff-Puff Peaks, the heroes are ready to use their second Royal Seed.

The Royal Seed goes to Castle Bowser and sucks in one of the Cloud Piranhas, before returning to the player character

Prince Florian: "Hooray! It worked!"
"Thank you so much! Now, let's keep at it. So, where next..."
"Oh, I know! Shining Falls! I'm sure there's a Royal Seed at the top of those waterfalls!"
"Let's start by heading east, toward Shining Falls!"

The path to the next isle reveals itself.

After Wiggler Race Swimming!

Prince Florian: "We did it! We beat Wiggler, and we got a Wonder Seed too!"

"Then set your sights on the very top of these waterfalls. There you will find the Royal Seed!"
Prince Florian: "Uh, w-wait! Could I just skip the trials and take the Royal Seed, please?"
Master Poplin: "Ha ha! Sorry, rules are rules, even for our prince!"
"Only those who overcome the trials can claim the Royal Seed."
"I will give you something to help you along the way and will await you farther up these falls. With that..."
"POOF!"

Master Poplin disappears.

Talking Flower: "I believe in you!"

The heroes receive a Wonder Seed from the chest.

After Master Poplin's House

Prince Florian: "It looks like we're going to have to pass all these trials and reach the top..."
