Super Mario Bros. Wonder introduces players to creative search party levels that test spatial awareness and observational skills. Among these puzzle stages is An Empty Park, located in World 3, known as Shining Falls. Players must locate five hidden Wonder Tokens scattered across an apparently barren environment to reveal the stage's Wonder Seed.
Locating the Course in World 3
Finding An Empty Park requires progressing through the initial trials of World 3 in Shining Falls. Once accessible on the world map, entering the stage reveals a small area that seems entirely devoid of visible platforms or collectibles. Equipping the Sensor Badge before entering can significantly ease your search by alerting you whenever hidden blocks are nearby.
Uncovering the First and Second Wonder Tokens
To reveal the first Wonder Token, leap into the air near the broken pillar visible in the background close to the entrance. Hitting this invisible block creates a foothold that allows you to jump up and claim the first token. Jumping directly above the location of the first token will strike another invisible block, spawning the second Wonder Token nearby.
Scaling the Hidden Platforms for the Third Token
After securing the second token, move toward the left side of the screen and jump upward to uncover additional invisible blocks. These blocks trigger moving platforms that travel horizontally and vertically, granting access to higher areas. Stand on top of the upper platform and hit the invisible block above it to spawn a localized rain shower, allowing you to swim upward and grab the third Wonder Token.
Reaching the Upper Waterfalls for Tokens Four and Five
Swim to the top of the first rain shower and jump onto the cloud platform to find two adjacent hidden blocks. Hitting these blocks summons a second waterfall alongside the fourth Wonder Token tucked within the falling water. Finally, swim up through the second waterfall to discover one last hidden block near the top left, which creates a third waterfall leading directly to the fifth token.
Claiming the Wonder Seed
Collecting all five Wonder Tokens instantly completes the puzzle challenge. The stage's Wonder Seed will appear at the very top of the area in a glowing circle of light. Ascend the final cloud platforms to claim your reward and add another complete stage to your Shining Falls progression.
