Search Party: Item Park is the final Search Party stage in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Maybe that’s a bummer if you really liked these stages, or good news if you didn’t. Regardless, Item Park is ironically the easiest stage of the set, and contains some pretty clever puzzles to solve too.
To clear Search Party: Item Park in Super Mario Bros. Wonder, you’ll have to switch between the game’s new power-ups to solve some mild puzzles. As usual, you’re on the hunt for five Wonder Coins, and collecting them all will reveal a Wonder Seed. Most of the difficulty here comes from simply learning all the properties of the Elephant, Bubble, and Drill forms. If you know exactly what these all do, you should have little trouble. However, a couple Wonder Coins can be tricky to nail down regardless.
Once you grab the Elephant power-up and break down the wall to your right, you’re ready to begin your search. Here’s how to clear Search Party: Item Park.
Where to find all the Wonder Coins in Search Party: Item Park in Super Mario Bros. Wonder
Wonder Coin 1
The first coin is hidden away in the top-left corner of the stage. You’ll need the Drill form to get this one without using any specific Badges.
To grab this one, jump over to the second set of Question Blocks and stand to the right of the sole block protruding into the third row. Jump up and you’ll reveal two hidden blocks.
Jump on the newly revealed blocks, and jump directly into the roof. Your character will plunge into the roof, and you can dig your way towards where the first coin is hidden.
Wonder Coin 2
Much like another Search Party course, the second Wonder Coin in the sequence is most likely the first one you’ll find. Grab an Elephant power-up, and position yourself on the right side of the rolling spike ball near the bottom-right corner of the map. Use your trunk attack to knock it left, and keep hitting it up the slope. If you get hit, just return to the beginning of the stage and grab a new power-up.
Eventually, the ball will crash into the bridge that the Wonder Coin is hiding underneath. Keep hitting the ball until the wall is completely torn down.
Once you finish this, you can safely go under the bridge and grab the coin.
Wonder Coin 3
This Wonder Coin is so easy to obtain that you’ll probably find it by accident. In Elephant form, use your trunk attack on the stacks of blocks on the topside of the stage. This will reveal a hidden block, and a vine will shoot out from it.
Climb the vine, and the second Wonder Coin will be yours.
Wonder Coin 4
For a change of pace, this Wonder Coin requires switching to the Bubble form. On the top-right side of the stage, you’ll see three cheep-cheeps in their own enclosed aquarium. You need to take these three enemies out, and fortunately, your bubble attack can move through walls.
Once you take every cheep-cheep out, the fourth Wonder Coin will appear.
Wonder Coin 5
The final Wonder Coin requires some specific manipulation of the Drill power-up. On the bottom-right side of the stage, you’ll see strange indents in the wall. While you can dig under the wall a bit at the bottom of the stage, you can really go anywhere doing that. What you need instead, however, is to dig under one of the other paths.
Dig into the second moving platform, and Mario can actually move off the platform and into the wall. Keep moving right and you’ll uncover a hidden area.
Grab the Wonder Coin and dig yourself out the same way you came in.
With all five Wonder Coins in your hand, the Wonder Seed will spawn. Collect the Seed, and you’ll have successfully completed Search Party: Item Park!
