All Special World entrances in Super Mario Bros. Wonder

The Special World is the eighth world in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Every level in the Special World is a five-star difficulty, and they each have two Wonder Seeds to find. The route to the Special World isn’t always obvious, though: Getting to the Special World means finding Special World entrances.

Our Super Mario Bros. Wonder guide will show you how to get to the Special World and where to find every Special World entrance.

How to get to the Special World in Super Mario Bros. Wonder

Getting to the Special World means finding a propeller flower that will cart you off to a world made up of the hardest levels in the game. Each propeller flower leads to one level in the Special World but not to the rest of the Special World levels; think of Special World entrances as extensions of the base map.

There’s one Special World entrance in each of the six worlds plus on in the Petal Isles hub world — and they’re usually hidden. Here’s where to find every Special World entrance on all seven worlds in Super Mario Bros. Wonder, from W1 Pipe-Rock Plateau through the Petal Isles.

The entrance to the Special World from W1 Pipe-Rock Plateau is actually hidden. To find the path to it, you’ll have to find the secret exit from Bullrush Express — which is also how you find the third Wonder Seed in that level.

The path that opens leads through Sproings in the Twilight Forest, Cosmic Hoppos, and Expert Badge Challenge: Jet Run 1.

This leads you to Pipe-Rock Plateau Special Bounce, Bounce, Bounce.

To reach the Special World from W2 Fluff-Puff Peaks, follow the path up from Jump! Jump! Jump! and past Expert Badge Challenge: Spring Feet 1.

There’s a secret path in W4 Sunbaked Desert that leads to the Special World entrance. To unblock it, you’ll have to find the secret exit (and third Wonder Seed) in Secrets of Shova Mansion. After that, you’ll pass through Flight of the Bloomps and Expert Badge Challenge: Invisibility 1.

This entrance to the Special World from W6 Deep Magma Bog isn’t hidden, but you will have to collect at least 25 Wonder Seeds in the Deep Magma Bog before you can reach it. With 25 seeds, you can unlock Expert Badge Challenge: Jet Run 2. That leads to Expert Badge Challenge: Invisibility 2 and Expert Badge Challenge: Spring Feet 2. After those levels, you’ll find the entrance to the Special World.

The entrance to the Special World from the Petal Isles is the most obvious one. You’ll walk right past it as you enter the Petal Isles from Pipe-Rock Plateau.
