A Wonder Flower is a flower power-up that first appeared in Super Mario Bros. Wonder.
History
Super Mario Bros. Wonder
In Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Wonder Flowers activate Wonder Effects 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 flying fortress in his own likeness.
Super Mario Run
Blue Wonder Flowers appeared in Super Mario Run during the second promotional Super Mario Bros. Wonder event from December 20, 2023 to March 15, 2024 in the Toad Rally mode.[1] They replaced and behaved identically to Coin Rush Stars, activating Coin Rush when the meter was filled up while also changing all coins into Gold Goombas and Pink Coins into flower coins. A Wonder Flower also appeared in the icon for version 3.1.0 of the game and on a stamp for the event's Stamp Cards.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
The blue Wonder Flower, paired with a Talking Flower, appears as a single, Novice-class support 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.
Concept and creation
The Wonder Flower was conceived as part of an effort to introduce surprising elements that would challenge the player.[2] 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?"[2] 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.[2]
