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!
Pipe-Rock Plateau is the first world in the game and is unlocked right from the beginning. Use the links below to jump to a specific level:
Challenge and Extra Levels
Welcome to the Flower Kingdom
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 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!
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!
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.
Scram, Skedaddlers!
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.
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.
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 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!
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.
Rolla Koopa Derby
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.
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 2 – Reach the end of the level.
Golden Flag – Run and jump off the higher platform.
Angry Spikes and Sinkin’ Pipes
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.
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.
Sproings in the Twilight Forest
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.
Wonder Seed 2 – Reach the end of the level.
Cosmic Hoppos
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.

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!
