W1: Pipe-Rock Plateau - Super Mario Bros. Wonder Walkthrough

Complete World 1 with our Super Mario Bros. Wonder walkthrough focused on every Flower Coin, Wonder Seed, and golden flag in Pipe-Rock Plateau.

Flower Coins and Wonder Seeds are the main collectibles in each level. The three 10-Flower Coins aren’t required to complete the level or unlock additional worlds, but they will add to the currency you can use on the world map. Wonder Seeds, on the other hand, are required for progression, and each level has either two or three to collect. One Wonder Seed is always found at the end of a Wonder Flower effect, and the other Wonder Seed is obtained once completing the level. Any additional Wonder Seeds are found by using a secret exit.

Additionally, each level presents you the a golden flag if you’re able to grab the very top of the goal post at the end of the level. Sometimes it’s simple, other times you may need to be creative about it. No matter which main collectible it is, we’ll cover it in our Pipe-Rock Plateau walkthrough!

Welcome to the Flower Kingdom

Flower Coin 1 – Use the Elephant Fruit from the nearby Question Block to break through the brick blocks guarding the Flower Coin at the start of the level. No power-up? Ground pound the lower blocks and you should still be able to get in!

Flower Coin 2 – Shortly after the first fountain, walk to the right and use the elephant power-up to spray water on the dried out flower. This will cause a pipe to spring up allowing you to reach the Flower Coin above the tree. Alternatively, walk up the hill to the right of the Flower Coin and jump from there.

Wonder Seed 1 – The Wonder Flower spawns above a series of side by side warp pipes. Run past the inching warp pipe and look for the Wonder Seed above a fountain.

Flower Coin 3 – During the Wonder Flower effect, hop on top of the inching warp pipe and wait for it to crawl below the Flower Coin. Jump and grab the Flower Coin once you get raised up!

Wonder Seed 2 – Reach the end of the level.

Golden Flag – Once the warp pipes pop up, sprint across them and jump from the very end.

Piranha Plants on Parade

This level has a secret exit!

Flower Coin 1 – Enter the first red pipe you encounter! You’ll find it next to a Talking Flower pondering how to get to the pipes in the back. In the background, run all the way to the left to your Flower Coin.

Flower Coin 2 – This one is hard to miss. Run to the end of the line of colorful music blocks, but don’t jump until you’re under the Flower Coin!

Wonder Seed 1 – The Wonder Flower can be found bouncing back and forth along a line of music blocks. Grab it, and the Piranha Plants will come to life. You could vaporize them with the Fire Flower… or you can let them sing their hearts out as you slowly make your way to the end of the level. Just as the singing comes to an end, the Wonder Seed will appear!

Flower Coin 3 – During the Wonder Flower effect, look for the Flower Coin near the ceiling. Time your jump to avoid the roaring Piranha Plants.

Wonder Seed 2 – Reach the end of the level.

Wonder Seed 3 – Secret exit time! Activate the Wonder Flower effect and get through the Piranha Plant’s jam. Once things are back to normal after collecting Wonder Seed 1, take note of the diagonal pipe on the ceiling. Run across the nearby music blocks and jump once you hit that last music note block to land on top of the diagonal warp pipe. Jump up, run to the left, and enter the red warp pipe. Now in the foreground, keep moving along until your reach the secret flagpole.

Golden Flag – Run across the music note blocks and jump off either of the last two blocks for that extra jump boost.

Scram, Skedaddlers!

Flower Coin 1 – Take note of the Skedaddler carrying a Flower Coin as you run across the colorful Note Blocks. Run after it, then grab the coin once the Skedaddler gets stuck between two yellow barrels.

Flower Coin 2 – Right after grabbing the first Flower Coin, smash through the yellow barrels covering the red pipe on the right. A ground pound should do! Once inside, jump off the fruit of the Skedaddler to reach the Flower Coin. You can also run and jump from the right side of the underground room to reach it.

Flower Coin 3 – Shortly after the Checkpoint Flag, look for the Flower Coin in a small cave blocked off by a yellow barrel. If you still have the elephant power-up, smash through the barrel using your trunk.

Wonder Seed 1 – On your way to the end of the level, you’ll encounter a Skedaddler carrying a Wonder Flower. The poor guy will get stuck pretty easily, so it won’t run off too far. Grab the flower, then start sprinting to the right as 10-second timer starts ticking. Collect the falling stars to reset your timer! Eventually you’ll start chasing a Skedaddler carrying a Wonder Seed. Have it run into a red pipe and the seed will be yours.

Wonder Seed 2 – Reach the end of the level.

Golden Flag – Be quick for this one! The yellow barrels at the end are enough to reach the top of the flagpole, but a nearby Skeddadler will destroy the bottom barrel bringing the stack down.

Bulrush Coming Through!

This level has a secret exit!

Flower Coin 1 – You’ll pass the first Flower Coin near the start of the level. To get past the blocks covering its access, step onto the first tree and give it two ground pounds to bring the tree to ground level. Now walk over to the nearby Bulrush and have it crash right through the blocks. Access granted!

Flower Coin 2 – Pass the red pipe and you’ll fine a bored talking flower on single tree. Ground pound the tree to get launched into a secret area in the sky! Jump from cloud to cloud to find the Flower Coin at the end. Don’t be afraid about jumping to grab it, falling back down will return you to the main level.

Flower Coin 3 – Ignore the Wonder Flower and continue through the level. Get past the row of spikes, then have the Bulrush at the top of the tree follow you to the right. After it hits the red pipe, give it a moment to compose itself, then have it chase you to the left where it’ll break through the blocks guarding the third Flower Coin.

Wonder Seed 1 – There’s a Bulrush after the Checkpoint Flag that will jump and crash through four blocks revealing the Wonder Flower. Grab it, then ride the rushing herd of Bulrush as they take you to the end of the level. When you see the cloud platforms with the Wonder Seed, hop off and grab the collectible.

Wonder Seed 2 – Reach the end of the level. Ignore the Wonder Flower and simply reach the normal exit at the end.

Wonder Seed 3 – After using the Wonder Flower and collecting Wonder Seed 1, look for the secret flagpole past the cloud platforms.

Golden Flag – Two options for this one. If it’s the normal flagpole, hop on top of the nearby Bulrush and have it speed towards the exit. Once close, jump off and you should reach the top of the flagpole! For the secret exit, run across the spaced out cloud platforms and you should be able to reach it with a simple jump.

Here Come the Hoppos

Flower Coin 1 – Not too far from the start of the level. Knock a Hoppo into the hole and bounce off it to reach the Flower Coin. Or jump from the platform on the right!

Flower Coin 2 – See those two red pipes with hole between them. Yeah, we gotta get a Hoppo in there. To do this, stay in the area to the left of the red pipes and send two Hoppos rolling to the right. The second one should bounce off the first and land snug between the pipes. Bounce off the Hoppo and follow the coins into a secret zone in the sky. Flower Coin is at the end of the secret zone!

Flower Coin 3 – There’s a single brick block lodged into the wall just near a duo of red pipes. Grab and hold a Koopa Troopa shell, then toss it at the brick block to reveal your Flower Coin.

Wonder Seed 1 – Towards the end of the level is a glowing tulip. Touch it, or have the Hoppos pass through it, to have it spawn another glowing tulip. Repeat this until the fourth tulip drops a Wonder Flower. Active it, then look for the giant Hoppo in the crowd. Try to have it come to a lower part of the area, then use a smaller Hoppo to launch yourself above the giant Hoppo where the Wonder Seed rests.

Wonder Seed 2 – Reach the end of the level.

Golden Flag – Knock the Hoppo into the hole just before the flagpole. Congrats on your new launch pad!

Rolla Koopa Derby

Flower Coin 1 – First Flower Coin is guarded by a group of Rolla Koopas! Drop down from above, grab the flower, and use the music block to bounce back out.

Flower Coin 2 – Just after the first Flower Coins are two Question Blocks floating over a row of music blocks. Hit the block on the right to reveal a Flower Propeller. Grab it to get sent into a secret zone. Neat! Now up on the sky, defeat all four Rolla Koopas to have the Flower Coin appear. Yes, the shells need to go too. Once easy way to make this happen is to walk under the spring in the middle and jump to send the three green shells up in the air. Time it with the Rolla Koopas to get them out.

Flower Coin 3 – Pass the Checkpoint Flag and the mushroom trampoline, then you’ll see a Question Block lodged into the wall. Grab the shell of a nearby Rolla Koopa and throw it at the block. Ta-da! Collect your Flower Coin

Wonder Seed 1 – Reach the massive tree and yank on the cord to reveal the Wonder Flower. It’ll take a second to understand what’s happening, but you can now walk on mostly invisible slopes. Collect all five Wonder Tokens while you watch the Rolla Koopas for an understanding of where to go. Wonder Seed will be at the very top once you collect them all.

Wonder Seed 2 – Reach the end of the level.

Golden Flag – Use the mushroom trampoline to get an extra boost in your jump. Simple!

Swamp Pipe Crawl

Flower Coin 1 – See the glowing tulip in the background? That’s where the Flower Coin is. There’s a Shova in the area that has no business shoving that warp pipe around. Push the warp pipe to the right and eventually it’ll slip inside the warp pipe below. With the connection made, go down the pipe to reach the background.

Flower Coin 2 – Right after the first Flower Coin are three suspicious brick blocks. Snatch the shell from the nearby snail enemy and toss it at the blocks to shred through them. With the path clear, push the warp that the blocks were… blocking, then head inside the sideways pipe. Secret area! Avoid the snails and grab your Flower Coin!

Wonder Seed 1 – Right after the Checkpoint Flag are two pushable pipes. First, push the bottom pipe all the way to the right. Then, push the top pipe all the way to the right as well. Wonder Flower time! Jump across the many Inchworm Pipes and stay out of the toxic water. Wonder Seed is at the end.

Flower Coin 3 – Just before the Wonder Flower segment ends, look for a glowing tulip as you ride the Inchworm Pipe. This will bring down a warp pipe that’ll take you to that Flower Coin you can see in the background.

Wonder Seed 2 – Reach the end of the level.

Golden Flag – Run and jump off the higher platform.

Angry Spikes and Sinkin’ Pipes

Flower Coin 1 – Once you see the background area with the glowing tulip, step on the nearby warp pipe and it’ll lower itself. Touch the glowing tulip, then enter the warp pipe that appears. And voilà! Enjoy your shiny Flower Coin.

Flower Coin 2 – A Spike guards a Flower Coin on a tight row of music blocks. The elephant power-up or the Fire Flower will protect you from the incoming spiked balls.

Flower Coin 3 – Use the Fire Flower to wipe out the Spike and the row of three Piranha Plants. Touch the glowing tulip to reveal your final Flower Coin.

Wonder Seed 1 – In the area with the POW Block, touch the glowing tulip and watch as the spark curiously goes beneath the nearby warp pipe. Stand on said warp pipe and let it sink into the the abyss below. Secret area! Once the Wonder Flower is in effect, simply jump over the incoming spiked balls and enjoy the show. Wonder Seed is at the top!

Wonder Seed 2 – Reach the end of the level.

Golden Flag – The jump from the pipe should be fine, but you can also get up on top of the ceiling area by wall jumping near the Piranha Plants.

Bulrush Express

This level has a secret exit!

Wonder Seed 1 – The majority of the level is the Wonder Flower effect. Let’s go over a few tips on getting through to the end. Stay at the front of the Bulrush express so you have the extra time to get back on when you step off. The P-Switch and Blue Coins are a fun bonus but not required for any collectibles.

Flower Coin 1 – Hop off the snail enemies to reach this Flower Coin. Keep the momentum going and jump to the right. Don’t want to miss the express!

Flower Coin 2 – Make a light jump onto the platform with the Flower Coin, then a big jump to get up a level higher. Sprint to the right and don’t get left behind!

Flower Coin 3 – Towards the end, jump off the back of the giant snail enemy and use the extra boost to snag the last Flower Coin.

Wonder Seed 2 – Reach the end of the level. This means collecting Wonder Seed 1 and going through the red pipe.

Wonder Seed 3 – Bring a spare Elephant Fruit into this level. You can quickly grab one from the first level in the game. Once you reach the end where Wonder Seed 1 is at, use your elephant power-up to break the brick blocks on the right. Enter the golden warp pipe and ride the Bulrush to the secret exit.

Golden Flag – Two options. For the normal exit, bounce off the giant snail to reach the top. For the secret exit, ride the Bulrush and jump off at the last moment.

Sproings in the Twilight Forest

Flower Coin 1 – The first Flower Coin is guarded by a few pesky brick blocks to the left. Smash through them with the elephant power-up or try to create an opening using a Koopa shell.

Flower Coin 2 – See the Flower Coin up above with seemingly no way to reach it? The glowing tulips are here to help. Activating them will show you the path, specifically an opening where the tree’s trunk is aligned.

Wonder Seed 1 – Smack down the really long Sproing to release the Wonder Flower. You can smash the tree down if you’re trying to stomp it. Now that you’ve gone through the process of tallification, start heading for the end of the level. Once you reach the two tall trees, crouch down to reveal the Wonder Seed.

Flower Coin 3 – While in the Wonder Flower effect, make your way to the area where the floor looks to be lined with blocks. Crouch underneath the row of blocks, then move to the right until you hit the third Flower Coin.

Wonder Seed 2 – Reach the end of the level.

Golden Flag – Be quick about this one! Three Sproings can be found just before the flagpole, and you’ll need to bounce off them to reach the top. They’re headed for the hole, so don’t delay!

Cosmic Hoppos

Flower Coin 1 – Push the Hoppo down to the area below, then bounce off it to pass through the orange platform.

Flower Coin 2 – From the orange platform on the left, run and jump to the right, bouncing off the Smogrin to reach the Flower Coin.

Flower Coin 3 – Look at that Hoppo pacing back and forth in the tunnel. Push it to the left, then follow it path to reach a secret area. This part is important. You need to fill the two holes with the Hoppos. To do that, hit the Question Blocks the Hoppos are standing on from the left side so they start moving to the right. With both in place, use them to spring up to the Flower Coin!

Wonder Seed 1 – At the end of the level and wondering if you missed it? You’re in luck! Push the Hoppo into the hole, then use it bounce yourself up through the orange platforms. Push the next Hoppo down. This chunky guy will fill the hole next to the flagpole, allowing you to jump up into the next area. Get to the glowing light in the wall, and toss a snail shell at it. Wonder Flower time! Not going to spoil the cool effect here, just keep in mind that the Wonder Seed is at the end.

Wonder Seed 2 – Reach the end of the level.

Golden Flag – Use the Hoppo you squashed into the hole near the flagpole to bounce yourself up to the top.

Pipe-Rock Plateau Palace

Flower Coin 1 – Get past the Checkpoint Flag and hop onto the sideways gold pipe on the right. Go around the platform and tocuh the glowing tulip to reveal the Flower Coin.

Wonder Seed 1 – Activate the Wonder Flower and the pipes around will being to fall. Stay clear of any pipes above you as they can get you out instantly. Wonder Seed is at the end!

Flower Coin 2 – After the row of golden pipes drops down, go to the left and use the elephant power-up to smash through the brick blocks holding you back from the Flower Coin. You can run across this entire area!

Golden Flag – Run off the slanted block, then jump when you hit the coin.

Mountaineering!

Wonder Seed 1 – This Wiggler Race is pretty straightforward. Jump over enemies, avoid the spike pits, and jump up to higher platforms to avoid the dangers below. There is one spot in particular where a yellow barrel blocks the path. You’ll want to be jumping across the tops of the trees to clear this area quickly!
