Bulrush Coming Through! is the fourth-listed course ofPipe-Rock Plateau inSuper Mario Bros. Wonder. It primarily centers onHard Blocks andBulrushes, which charge at the player and can break those blocks. It is one of several courses that are part of an open area of the map unlocked after completing theBadge House in Pipe-Rock Plateau. This course houses threeWonder Seeds.

Layout[edit]

The start of the course immediately demonstrates its main mechanics, with a Bulrush clearing the Hard Blocks under a pair of? Blocks for the player to hit, with one of them containing aFire Flower. Past this are several tree platforms and Hard Blocks arranged in staircase-like structures, along withSwirlypods and more Bulrushes. Throughout the course, luring Bulrushes into destroying Hard Blocks rewards the player withcoins andflower coins.

Past theCheckpoint Flag, the player is introduced to Bulrushes jumping off of ramps, as well asTrompettes. Multiple redWarp Pipes are spread across this part of the course, blocking the path of charging Bulrushes. ALifting Shabon is hidden inside a ? Block, and past it is a bed ofspikes, with Hard Blocks over it serving as a bridge. After a few more trees and enemies, theGoal Pole can be found, with the top reachable by riding on top of a Bulrush as it jumps off a ramp.

The course'sWonder Flower is located right after the Checkpoint Flag, inside some glowing blocks floating in the air. The player should continue right to find a Bulrush which will leap towards the blocks, breaking them and revealing the Wonder Flower. Touching it will trigger the course'sWonder Effect, which causes a stampedingWonder Bulrush herd to appear. The player can stand on them and follow them across their path. They will knock down the regular Goal Pole, taking the player to a large incline behind. The stampede will run up the incline to someCloud Lifts andCloud Blocks that the player must jump on to find the Wonder Seed, followed by the hidden goal at the end.

The second 10-flower coin in Bulrush Coming Through! in Super Mario Bros. WonderImmediately after the first redWarp Pipe is a tree with aTalking Flower on it. Ground Pounding the Hip Tree causes it to rise. The player should continue to stand on the tree while it is rising to access a secret sky area. There, the player should progress across the cloud platforms while avoiding theSmogrins to find the coin at the end.
The third 10-flower coin in Bulrush Coming Through! in Super Mario Bros. WonderTrapped behind some blocks close to the end. The player must lure the Bulrush standing on a tree found earlier to break the blocks.

Hidden goal[edit]

If the player managed to reach the Wonder Seed from the Wonder Effect, thehidden goal is located immediately afterwards and rewards the player with a secret third Wonder Seed. The Goal Pole here is about three times as tall as a regular Goal Pole.
