Complete World 5 with our Super Mario Bros. Wonder walkthrough focused on every Flower Coin, Wonder Seed, and golden flag in Fungi Mines.
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 Fungi Mines walkthrough!

Upshroom Downshroom
Flower Coin 1 – See that Big Fire Piranha Plant? Drill underneath it and pop out to send it flying! With that guy out of the way, hit the two green glowing tulips to bring the tall mushrooms up to the red pipe in the ceiling. Enter it, then grab the Flower Coin with a good bounce off the mushroom trampolines.
Flower Coin 2 – More green tulips! With the drill power-up in hand, activate the green tulip to bring up the mushroom holding the pumpkins, but don’t destroy the orange fruit! Use it to reach the ceiling. Drill your way to the right, then activate the next two green tulips. Follow the coins to two more tulips. Activating the last one will send a slow-moving spark. Before it reaches its destination, jump to the right and wait on the blue upside-down mushroom. This will eventually rise up to where the Flower Coin is at!
Wonder Seed 2 – Reach the end of the level.
Golden Flag – Climb up the pumpkin stairs and jump off the edge.
Taily’s Toxic Pond
Wonder Seed 1 – A trio of Taily enemies roam above three mushroom platforms. Defeat them all to reveal a Wonder Flower… and a quiz show?? Here’s the thing. We could list the questions and answers here, but you have 90 seconds to get three questions right. Doesn’t matter how many you get wrong! So don’t think too hard and pick the answer by grabbing the corresponding Taily. You’ve got a TON of chances to get through this.
Flower Coin 3 – Before exiting the main area of the level, let one of the Taily enemies drop a spiked ball onto the flipping block below. If just one gets hit, this will allow you to enter the green pipe. In the secret area, simply run off the mushroom without dropping and you should cling to the Taily with ease.
Wonder Seed 2 – Reach the end of the level.
Golden Flag – Use the Taily to reach the flagpole.
Light-Switch Mansion
Flower Coin 2 – See all the coins and blocks in the background? Get there by stunning the mimic door and entering its door. Once there, use the light blocks to illuminate the hidden platforms. If you want to skip all that, enter the door and immediately jump to the platform on the right. From there, jump to the left and you should be able to reach the Flower Coin with ease.
Wonder Seed 2 – Reach the end of the level.
Beware of the Rifts
Wonder Seed 1 – A Question Block lodged into a low ceiling can be hit to reveal the Wonder Flower. Once activated, start hopping around the area to collect all five Wonder Tokens. Use the massive POW blocks as many times as you need. They’ll help you stun Shadow Mario and they’ll help bounce Wonder Tokens out of their holes.
Wonder Seed 2 – Reach the end of the level.
An Uncharted Area: Wubba Ruins
Wonder Seed 1 – Wonder Flower is hidden inside a Question Block below some goo. Use the Konk to smash the block, then swim through the goo to grab the Wonder Flower. As a Wubba, swim through goo with ease, and slide around floors, walls, and ceilings seamlessly. Keep moving forward and you’ll eventually slide under a long wall leading to the Wonder Seed.
Wonder Seed 2 – Reach the end of the level.
Golden Flag – Swim through the goo and jump out from the top to reach the flagpole.
Another Uncharted Area: Swaying Ruins
Wonder Seed 1 – Use the green glowing tulips to make parts of the level sway. See the lone pink door that’s inaccessible? Once the level starts to sway, stand on the sliding platform on your right and have it pass by the door. Enter once you’re able to! Inside, chase after the Wonder Flower. Grab it at the bottom, then slide and bounce your way to the Wonder Seed farther into the level.
Wonder Seed 2 – Reach the end of the level.
A Final Uncharted Area: Poison Ruins
Wonder Seed 1 – Before you jump onto the flagpole and “complete” the level, take a look at the single pile of goo. Ground pound into the goo to activate the hidden Wonder Flower! You’re back to being a Wubba, and you can move along the walls and ceilings once more. Bypass the flagpole by riding along the ceiling, then enter the next area by continuing up. Keep moving forward and you’ll eventually reach an area with spinning platforms. Activate all the glowing tulips on each of these platforms and the Wonder Seed is yours!
Grappling Vine I
Wonder Seed – Reach the end of the level.
Fungi Funk
Flower Coin 1-3 – Complete all four level of enemies within 90 seconds to get all three Flower Coins at the end. For the first two levels, power-ups aren’t entirely the most useful here. The Boos will need the light to be dealt with and the Taily enemies can be yanked on one after the other. For the two screaming doors on the third floor, bounce on them once, then open their door. One is on the top right, the other can be found by traveling through the background starting with the door to the right of the red pipe. But the Wubbas on the fourth level? Bubble Flower all the way. You can clear the room pretty quickly this way.
Wonder Seed – Survive and reach the end of the level.
