Where to find Hot-Hot Hot! secret exit location
To find the secret exit in Hot-Hot Hot! in Super Mario Bros. Wonder, start by crossing the checkpoint and proceed to a platform with two large smoldering blocks above it. Use a popcorn-like jumping enemy to bounce up or perform a wall jump off the blocks to reach the platform. From there, carefully jump left across a series of platforms until you reach two pots and a purple tulip; touching the tulip reveals another one below to the left. After hitting the second tulip, follow the purple sparkle traveling left back through the level until it reaches a large smoldering block, which transforms into a door. Enter this shadowed area, navigate carefully through breakable blocks to find a pipe leading to the secret exit. Securing this exit grants a third Wonder Seed and unlocks a path to the Hot-Hot Rocks Break Time! level.
There are three Wonder Seeds to collect in Hot-Hot Hot! The first two – the one you get from the Wonder Flower sequence and from reaching the normal flagpole – are a bit more obvious. You can find our walkthrough of them with the rest of W6 Deep Magma Bog Wonder Seeds.
For the third Wonder Seed and the secret exit, we’ll start at the level’s checkpoint. You’ll also need the Boosting Spin Jump Badge (there might be another way to reach it, but this was the easiest way we’ve found).

When you reach the checkpoint, turn around and backtrack to the Hot-Hots just to the left. Use them to climb up to the top of the screen (there’s a water jar nearby to make the process easier).

Dash and jump as far as you can to the right, and then Boosting Spin Jump up onto the cloud platform. Hit the flower there and then the second flower that spawns below you.

Chase the magical spark that creates all the way back to the left until it turns into a door.

Make your way through the twilight version of the level until you reach the secret exit’s new flagpole (and get the third Wonder Seed). This opens the path to Break Time! Hot-Hot Rocks.
Where exactly is the hidden exit in Hot-Hot Hot in Super Mario Bros. Wonder
The hidden secret exit in Hot-Hot Hot! in Super Mario Bros. Wonder is located past the checkpoint, in an area with a middle platform beneath two large smoldering blocks with a small gap between them. To reach it, you need to bounce off a popcorn-like jumping enemy or perform a wall jump off the smoldering blocks to get onto the platform. From there, carefully jump left across a series of hovering platforms until you reach a cloud platform with a pink tulip flower. Touching this flower reveals another tulip down to the left, which you must also touch. Following the purple sparkle that travels back toward the start of the level leads you to a large smoldering block that transforms into a door. Beyond this door is a shadowy area with breakable blocks hiding a water pipe, which leads to the secret exit pipe. Using the smoldering blocks near the secret exit, you can wall jump to reach the top of the goal post. Unlocking this secret exit awards you the third Wonder Seed for the level and opens a path to the Hot-Hot Rocks Break Time! level.
