In ''Super Mario Bros. Wonder'', Wonder Flowers activate [[Wonder Effect]]s when collected, which change some mechanics in the level or transform the player. Every main level has one Wonder Flower, and the Wonder Effect they create always leads to a [[Wonder Seed]]. Wonder Flowers come in different colors depending on the world in which they are found, being blue in [[Pipe-Rock Plateau]], cyan in [[Fluff-Puff Peaks]], red-magenta in [[Shining Falls]], yellow in [[Sunbaked Desert]], green in [[Fungi Mines]], purple with a black face and white eyes in [[Deep Magma Bog]], orange in [[Petal Isles]], and gray with a yellow highlight in the [[Special World]]. Once the Wonder Effect's respective Wonder Seed is collected, the Wonder Flower turns gray and transparent. One Wonder Flower also plays a major role in the game's plot, as Bowser arrived in the [[Flower Kingdom]] during the opening sequence to steal it, and uses it to merge himself, his Koopa Clown Car, and the Flower Castle together to form a [[Castle Bowser|flying fortress]] in his own likeness.

===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
The blue Wonder Flower, paired with a [[Talking Flower]], appears as a single, Novice-class support [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', introduced in the "Showtime and Wonder Spirits!" spirit event that began on the same day as ''[[Princess Peach: Showtime!]]''{{'}}s release on March 22, 2024. Applying the spirit to a character equips them with a [[Fire Flower]] at the start of a battle. In their spirit battle, the Wonder Flower is represented by a tiny, blue [[Kirby]]; during the battle, the Skull Kid [[Assist Trophy]] appears and turns all fighters invisible, a reference to Wonder Effects.

The Wonder Flower was conceived as part of an effort to introduce surprising elements that would challenge the player.<ref name="Wired">Farokhmanesh, Megan (August 31, 2023).

Retrieved August 31, 2023.</ref> The original idea was to include items that would warp players to a new area but producer [[Takashi Tezuka]] found the idea uninteresting, stating, "''If you're still just going to warp to a different area, it's still the same. Why don't you just change where you are right now?''"<ref name="Wired"></ref> To gather suggestions for effects the Wonder Flower could have, director [[Shiro Mouri]] and Tezuka polled the entire development team of ''Super Mario Bros. Wonder'' no matter their seniority or role on the project, receiving a little over 2,000 suggestions.<ref name="Wired"></ref>
