If you want to take on the toughest challenges in Super Mario Bros. Wonder, then you’ll need to find every Special World entrance. The Special World is where the toughest stages lie, and you won’t be able to access the final challenges unless you manage to get into the Special World through every secret entrance found in the game’s six worlds, and the Petal Isles overworld.

In this guide we’re breaking down every Special World entrance in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. You’ll need to locate all of these in order to complete the Special World, and many of them are tough to find, requiring an alternate exit or Wonder Seed in stages that you’ve probably already completed.
