In the vibrant world of Super Mario Bros. Wonder, the “Piranha Plants on Parade” level hides a tantalizing secret exit that unlocks new paths and rewards. After enjoying the musical spectacle of the singing Piranha Plants and collecting the Wonder Seed, players can leap onto the pipes above the parade route, enter a mysterious red Warp Pipe, and journey through the foreground to discover a hidden Goal Pole that leads to a secret exit. This clever detour not only grants an elusive Wonder Seed but also opens a new Warp Pipe on the world map, revealing a hidden area where Captain Toad awaits with a bounty of Flower Coins.
Where to find Piranha Plants on Parade secret exit location
To find the secret exit in Piranha Plants on Parade in Super Mario Bros. Wonder, progress through the level until you reach the area with three pipes sticking out of a floating platform above the Wonder Seed location. Use the musical note blocks on the right to bounce up onto this platform, then head left to enter the red Warp Pipe. This pipe teleports you to the foreground, where you run right and enter a green Warp Pipe that leads to a hidden Goal Pole, marking the secret exit. Unlocking this exit grants a secret Wonder Seed and opens a new Warp Pipe on the world map, which leads to Captain Toad and additional rewards.
There are three Wonder Seeds in Piranha Plants on Parade. You’ll receive the first at the end of the level’s Wonder Flower musical number and the second for completing the level normally. You can find our walkthrough of them with the rest of W1 Pipe-Rock Plateau.
For the third, you’ll have to replay the level. After the musical number, use the note blocks to jump up on the angled pipe on the right above the screen heading to the left. Go through the pipe at the far left, and then make your way all the way to the right in the foreground – you’ll pass the normal exit.
Duck through the next pipe you come to – it’s a ways to the right – and complete the level again at the second flagpole for the third Wonder Seed.
