Content added in Switch 2 release Super Mario Bros. Wonder is mainly focused on co-op and multiplayer, but that doesn't mean there isn't still new content for single players to enjoy. In addition to the Toad Brigade training courses, Bellabel Park features eight brand new boss fights that will further test the player's skills.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder: All worlds and course list
With a total of 225 Wonder Seeds for players to collect, completing each course in Mario Wonder requires a fair amount of determination and skill.
Players will encounter the first of these boss fights shortly after arriving at Bellabel Park, though the rest will have to be sought out on their own. Fortunately, talking to Poplin with the blue flag in Bellabel Park will mark the location of the next Toad Brigade tent on the map, after which Super Mario Bros. Wonder players can only fast travel to the nearest course through the Odds menu.
How to defeat Koopalings in Bellabel Park
The first Koopaling fight pits players against all seven siblings, though it's actually one of the easiest. Players should stand under their clown car and spam flower powerups until the fight is over.
How to beat Wendy's Showdown (Pipe-Rock Plateau)
You can find Wendy by talking to Captain Toad in the Toad Brigade tent in Pipe-Rock Plateau. After going through a short stage and starting a boss fight, you'll need to jump on Wendy's head or hit her with flowers as she makes her way across the screen. After a few hits, fish will start coming out of some portals, so be careful to avoid them. He will sometimes jump back up after landing in water, so be prepared for that as well. In the final stage, Wendy gets much bigger and starts bouncing around the stage. When this happens, stand under one of the two platforms and spam the flowers until the fight is over.
How to beat Lemmy's showdown (Fluff-Puff Peaks)
You can find Lemmy in Fluff-Puff Peaks. Once the boss fight starts, pound bombs into the spiked balls below Lemmy until there are none left. When he's back on the ground, jump on his head to deal damage. Repeating this a few times will get you to the final stage, where his tower of spiked balls is much larger, but the strategy remains the same: drop bombs into his tower while being careful not to get hit by any bombs or Lemmy falling on you. Once all the spiked balls are gone, jump on Lemmy's head to complete the boss fight.
How to beat Larry's Showdown (Shining Falls)
To trigger Larry's Showdown, head to the Toad Brigade tent in Shining Falls and talk to Captain Toad. To complete the boss fight, you'll need to break the pink glass cube it hides inside. Some sides of the cube may have spikes, so attack from the one that doesn't, and also make sure you don't get hit by the pink blocks that move down towards you or the bombs that appear when Larry moves to a new cube. When he moves to the top of the screen and the blue fists appear, time your jumps to land on the fists as they fly towards you and use them to reach Larry's position and deal some damage. Then just rinse and repeat.
How to beat Roy's Showdown (Sunbaked Desert)
Roy's Showdown takes place in the Sunbaked Desert region. Its size makes it seem a bit daunting at first, but it's actually one of the easiest Koopaling fights in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Avoid all the falling projectiles by standing under the platforms until the bird flies in and drops the pot. Once this happens, pick him up and stand under Roy so that the pot shots will hit him. Later, Boos will start flying across the screen, so you'll have to choose the moment to jump over them when there's a gap between the projectiles. There are also several points where Roy heads back to his ghost ship. When this happens, look for a gap in the bottom of the ship and make sure you're under it when the ship slams down. After enough hits, the boss fight will end.
How to beat Iggy's Showdown (Fungi Mines)
You can start Iggy's Showdown by talking to Captain Toad in the Toad Brigade tent in the Fungi Mines area. Once the boss fight starts, fight your way to the left side of the boss area until the giant piranha plants appear to your right. When they do, jump on their heads and use them to move right towards Iggy, making sure to press B when you land to gain some extra height on the resulting jump. You'll need to dodge projectiles as you move to the right, as well as watch out for the piranha plants, whose heads point upwards rather than sideways, but the strategy remains consistent throughout the fight. After enough hits, Iggy will run away and you will get another Bellabel Flower.
How to beat Morton's Showdown (Deep Magma Bog)
Morton can be found in the Deep Magma Bog area after talking to Captain Toad in the Toad Brigade tent. To complete the boss fight, you'll need to jump up and grab the handles to pull Morton's strings and force him to take damage. If you want to reach the doorknobs, you'll need to use the boxes that fly into the air whenever Morton slams his hands on the ground. However, if he hits them, he will destroy the boxes, so the best strategy is to stand away from the boxes until he locks in his attack, then quickly get on one before he goes flying. Assuming you're fast enough, you'll be able to use the extra height to reach the handle. Repeat this process often enough and Morton will run away, allowing you to get the penultimate Bellabel Flower.
How to beat Ludwig's Showdown (Bellabel Park)
Ludwig's Showdown is available immediately after defeating Morton and can be triggered by talking to Captain Toad in Bellabel Park. It's the last one Super Mario Bros. WonderKoopaling's boss fight and probably the hardest. The fight starts off pretty easy though. You'll just have to dodge his lightning bolts and use the platforms to gain enough height to jump on his head. Over time, more platforms will appear and water will start cascading from them, which can make climbing easier if you're struggling. After the first hit, Ludwig will summon a clone and the cycle will repeat, with each hit leading to more and more clones. You can kill the clones by jumping on their heads, which will result in fewer projectiles to dodge, although you should try to hit the real Ludwig as quickly as possible if possible, as all clones disappear when they take damage.
After three or four hits, an army of clones will appear and Ludwig will fly high. When this happens, swim to the waterfall in the middle of the boss area, making sure to avoid the lightning bolts from the clones. Once you're at the top, you'll need to hit Ludwig three more times. He doesn't have clones this time, but his attacks are much harder to avoid. Climb the platforms as fast as you can and pay attention to where the next blast will hit. There is usually enough space on the platform to avoid the lightning, but there may be times when you need to jump over it instead. In these situations, the Floating High Jump badge can be incredibly useful. Whichever approach you take, focus on dodging lightning and dealing damage and the fight will soon be over.
