How to reach all Special World level entrances in Mario Wonder

Super Mario Bros. Wonder has its fair share of secrets and hidden levels. Certain levels have a third hidden seed and a hidden exit that leads you to a Special World level. In this guide, we will help you find all the Special World levels.

How do you get to the Special World in Mario Wonder?

To get to the Special World, you need to unlock at least one Special World flower transporter and beat the level it unlocks. This is easier said than done, as these flower transporters can be sneakily hidden, often requiring you to go off the beaten path and look for secret entrances.

In total, there are seven special entrances. One is hidden in each of the six biomes, and the last one is in the main hub world (Petal Island).

Every Special World entrance in Mario Wonder

Pipe-Rock Plateau

• Enter the Bullrush Express level and make sure you have the elephant power-up active. Bring an extra one, just in case.
• Play through the level until you collect the Wonder Seed.
• When you collect the seed, don’t go through the pipe that normally takes you to the end of the level.
• Instead, use your elephant form to break the blocks beside the pipe. 
• Break the block and enter the new golden pipe.
• Finish the level and collect the third Wonder Seed.
• After you go back to the world map, you’ll notice a new path has unlocked.
• Follow this path and play the two new levels and badge challenge that unlock as you progress (you don’t have to collect everything, just finish each level).
