It’s almost time to go toe-to-toe with the big man himself. Bowser’s throwing everything he has at you in hopes it’ll slow you down, but you’ve overcome it all. I won’t lie; the Super Mario Bros. Wonder stage Evade the Seeker Bullet Bills! is a formidable challenge, even if you’re not collecting all secrets.
If you insist on nabbing the optional Wonder Seeds and all three the 10-Flower Coins in this 4-star difficulty stage, then you’ve come to the right place. Read on to learn how to obtain all secrets in Evade the Seeker Bullet Bills! in Super Mario Bros. Wonder.
Evade the Seeker Bullet Bills! — First 10-Flower Coin
At the start of the level, make contact with the orange flower bud to move the rightmost pipe out of the way and drop down. At the bottom, you should see two inconspicuous bricks, and you’ll want to hit the one closest to the wall to move the vertical pipe out of the way, allowing you to progress. Dodge the Bullet Bills and use the warp pipe against the leftmost wall to enter the level proper.
From here, proceed through the stage whilst avoiding the Bullet Bills until you reach the checkpoint flag. In time, you should see the coin floating above the toxic waste, at which point you can make contact with an orange flower bud to summon a vertical pipe covered in Bullet Bills. To grab this 10-Flower Coin, you’ll need to slide down the pipe, grab the coin, then jump off towards the next pipe.
Evade the Seeker Bullet Bills! — Second 10-Flower Coin
From the first coin, proceed through the level until you reach a closed off area with another orange bud that’ll open the way forward. But don’t be so quick to proceed! Hit the orange bud to manifest the coin in the area above you, then use your environment to wall jump up there and nab the 10-Flower Coin.
It might seem easier to not hit the bud and use the pipes while they’re acting as a wall, but it looks like the coin won’t be accessible until you’ve hit the orange bud.
Evade the Seeker Bullet Bills! — Third 10-Flower Coin
In the next area, be prepared for a barrage of Seeker Bullet Bills. In time, you’ll run into a wall of bricks with the third 10-Flower Coin within. There are several ways to break this tower apart and reach the coin, but I have found the easiest is to use the elephant power-up to unleash devastation. It helps that you and the Bills have the same goal.
However you manage to nab this third 10-Flower Coin, do so and then move on to the Wonder Flower.
Evade the Seeker Bullet Bills! — Wonder Flower & Wonder Seed
It is very easy to miss this Wonder Flower, so be very careful! As soon as you’ve obtained the third 10-Flower Coin, you’ll pass an area covered in breakable bricks with some coins underneath. This is your first sign that something’s hiding in this area, so either break the bricks yourself or let the Bills do it, then let yourself fall into the abyss. This will lead you to a secret checkpoint flag.
The Wonder Flower will be just ahead, so grab the nearby power-up if necessary, then nab the Flower. In this segment, you’ll be on a sailboat outfitted with a cannon, and you’ll need to use the cannon to break obstacles blocking your path and stay alive long enough to reach the Wonder Seed.
If any enemies manage to break through your boat, don’t worry — the boat will regenerate, but you will not. So, do what you need to in order to stay alive to the end of this section. If successful, the Wonder Seed will be yours for the taking, allowing you to proceed to the penultimate level of the game.
