Bulrush Express, found in the game's first world, is known for its challenging nature, earning it a four-star difficulty rating in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Players must navigate a stampede of angry Bulrush to complete the course, which can be frustrating for some. Adding to the challenge, the course also features a hidden exit that requires a power-up, requiring players to plan ahead to obtain the final Wonder Seed. Thankfully, with practice, even newcomers to the world of Super Mario Bros. Wonder should be able to achieve 100% completion on Bulrush Express without too much difficulty.
Bulrush Express 100% Completion
As well as reaching the top of one of the course's two flagpoles, players aiming for the green checkmark on Bulrush Express must locate three Flower Coins and three Wonder Seeds. All of the purple coins must be collected during the stampede section, while all three Wonder Seeds can only be obtained after the section has ended. One of the Wonder Seeds can be acquired by exiting the course through the secret exit, which means that multiple playthroughs are necessary for achieving 100% completion.
Bulrush Express Purple Flower Coin #1
In order to obtain the initial purple coin in Bulrush Express, players must execute a running leap shortly after passing the initial red pipe containing the Super Mushroom power-up. By activating the P Switch right before reaching the pipe, they can then track the path of blue coins, significantly facilitating the acquisition of the first Flower Coin.

Bulrush Express Purple Flower Coin #3
Around the middle of the course, players will encounter a section where they must jump off the stampeding Bulrush for a brief period. However, it is advised to delay the jump initially and wait for the bulrush to descend slightly. This way, they will be able to access the ledge containing the second purple coin. Activating the P Switch right before this segment can also facilitate the process.Bulrush Express Purple Flower Coin #3
The Bulrush Express Flower Coin is the ultimate goal that players can obtain in the stampede. This opportunity arises once they have successfully demolished the yellow barrels by shattering the Pow Block. After accomplishing this task, hitting the P Switch will reveal a mesmerizing path of coins, guiding players on where to jump. By following this trail, they can conveniently land on top of the snail-like adversary and access the elusive purple coin.
Those who struggle with timing their jump can opt to ride the stampede past the purple coin and subsequently utilize the Parachute Cap badge to jump backward and manage their momentum. Although they will perish after acquiring the coin, as long as they finish the course without depleting their lives or quitting, the coin will still be considered collected.
Bulrush Express Wonder Seed #1
Players will get the first Bulrush Express Wonder Seed at the end of the stampede section.
Bulrush Express Wonder Seed #2
To obtain the second Wonder Seed in Bulrush Express, players must successfully finish the course. In order to reach the top of the flagpole, they should wait for the snail enemy to position itself next to the brown block. Once the enemy is in position, players can utilize the block to gain the additional height required.
Bulrush Express Wonder Seed #3 (Secret Exit)
In order to access the secret exit of the Bulrush Express and obtain the final Wonder Seed of the course, players must reach the end of the stampede section while equipped with the Elephant power-up. This can be accomplished by either navigating the course while in Elephant form or by storing an Elephant power-up in the item slot and immediately using it after acquiring the First Wonder Seed. By doing so, players are able to break through the brown blocks located to the right and enter a hidden yellow pipe.

To proceed, players can simply drop down and land on the back of the solitary Bulrush. This action will prompt the Bulrush to run towards the right. Once the Bulrush reaches the end of the spikes, it will jump. At this moment, players should also jump to gain enough height to reach the top of the flagpole. Following that, a Poplin will emerge from the house and deliver the third and last Bulrush Express Wonder Seed to the players.
Welcome to the Flower Kingdom! It's a fantastic location for cultivating the Elephant suit power-up. This course not only provides several opportunities to acquire the power-up but is also remarkably brief, allowing players to complete it in approximately 60 seconds. Super Mario Bros. Wonder is currently accessible solely for the Nintendo Switch.
