So, you’ve reached the finale of Super Mario Bros. Wonder’s second world, Fluff-Puff Peaks. As is the standard for world-enders to this point, there’s a gigantic castle that needs the good ol’ Mario touch.
Fluff-Puff Peaks Palace, as with many other levels in Super Mario Bros. Wonder has three 10-Flower Coins to collect in addition to a tricky Wonder Seed. In addition, the Wonder Seed channels the aesthetic of a hidden level you may have already mastered, Sproings in the Twilight Forest. It once again envelopes you in a silhouette and stretches your playable character so they’re very tall!
Here’s how to find all secret 10-Flower Coins and Wonder Seeds in Fluff-Puff Peaks Palace.
Fluff-Puff Peaks Palace — First 10-Flower Coin
To start, enter the palace and avoid the wonder-powered piranha plants. Keep going until you reach a platform with a series of bouncy music blocks with two hammer bros to deal with. Take care of these pesky enemies and go under the platform to retrieve this first 10-Flower Coin.
Fluff-Puff Peaks Palace — Second 10-Flower Coin
The second 10-Flower Coin can be accessed once you’ve nabbed the Wonder Flower. Head forward a bit, dodging any long-piranha plants and fireballs sent your way. At some point, you’ll see an obstacle where three warp pipes form a staircase, but the last pipe sinks, allowing you to progress.
In the aftermath of this obstacle, several fireballs will descend from the sky, so dodge them. Jump over the next couple of warp-pipes and piranha plant and you’ll reach a rectangular platform with what looks like a bridge. You should see this second 10-Flower Coin, but you won’t be able to reach it.
Use the same tactic you used to obtain the Wonder Flower and step on the warp pipe immediately to your right. It will descend into the ground, allowing you to access this second 10-Flower Coin.
Fluff-Puff Peaks Palace — Third 10-Flower Coin
The third 10-Flower Coin is accessible immediately after the second. If you move forward, you’ll come across a structure that, like with the second coin, will block you from grabbing the 10-Flower Coin.
To nab this secret, simply crouch down and crawl into this oddly shaped structure. Then, use the bouncy music blocks to jump back to the top of the structure.
Fluff-Puff Peaks Palace — Wonder Flower and Wonder Seed locations
You’ll find the Wonder Flower once you’ve passed the checkpoint flag. When you reach a platform bookended with warp-pipes and piranha plants, touch the flower bud floating in mid-air to spawn the Wonder Flower just out of reach. If you head to the right and stand on the warp pipe to the right of the rightmost piranha plant, it’ll sink into the ground, resulting in a secret warp pipe rising from the ground where the Wonder Flower is trapped. If you time it correctly, the secret warp pipe can push the Wonder Flower from under the aforementioned platform to the platform itself, and then you can grab it.
Admittedly, the Wonder Seed can be somewhat tricky to acquire. It’s being protected by another couple of hammer bros., so either defeat them or dodge them and you’ll be practically home free. Use the bouncy music blocks to reach the Wonder Seed, which is now within sight and grasp. Now — it’s time to beat Bowser Jr. again!
