A Wonder Seed, also spelled Wonderseed,[1] is a collectable item in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. The color of a Wonder Seed changes depending on the current world, being identical to that of the world's Wonder Flowers: blue for Pipe-Rock Plateau, turquoise for Fluff-Puff Peaks, pink for Shining Falls, yellow for Sunbaked Desert, green for Fungi Mines, purple for Deep Magma Bog, orange for the Petal Isles, and white for the Special World. Each standard level in the game contains at least two Wonder Seeds, with one always rewarded to players for completing a level and rescuing a Poplin, while another is found after triggering the level's Wonder Effect, which the Wonder Seed ends upon being collected. Levels with a secret exit contain a third Wonder Seed, while Break Time! levels, Search Party levels, Badge Challenges and Poplin Houses contain only one. As with collectibles in previous games such as Star Medals in Super Mario 3D Land and Green Stars in Super Mario 3D World, collecting enough Wonder Seeds can unlock levels. After a Wonder Seed is collected, it becomes gray and transparent when re-entering the level. There are a total of 225 Wonder Seeds in the game.
They also bear a similarity to Super Mario Odyssey's Power Moons, with them changing their color depending on the region within the game and the player being able to buy them in shops for 100 flower coins.
Wonder Seeds feature brown coats which cover their lower and rear areas. The exposed portion of the embryo features a pair of white eyes, a green shoot, and brightly colored cotyledons with iridescent diamond markings similar to those found on a Wonder Flower.
