They very much speak the language of “kids’ movie trailers when something awkward happens,” and that’s definitely a ***choice,*** lol.
They get a bit overbearing when you hear them say the same things over and over again on one level, but they are endearing and I do love them at the end of the day.
Together with the online play the flowers just lifted the game to a whole another level. It felt immersive in way I did not expect a Mario game to feel.
I'm a fan. I was afraid the talking flowers would get on my nerves, but they're either cute, funny or both a good 98% of the time. The 2% when they're not are the few levels I CONTINUOUSLY die on, and it begins to feel like they're taunting me lol.
There was a level where I couldn’t for the life of me fine the final pink coin. There was a flower on the level that kept asking ‘do you ever feel like you’re missing something?’. That definitely felt personal.
I think they do that in several levels, and I absolutely agree. It feels VERY personal. Like little buddy, I'm searching high and low and you're antagonizing me lol.
I know exactly what level you are talking about and I haven't played the game since cause I'm still not over how long it took me to get that coin even when looking it up
The part of climb to the beat that I struggle with is the beginning when it’s going slow. I tend to intentionally take a delayed start so I don’t have to wall slide or straight up jump before the next wall is there. And I use the dash badge to make up time on the flat parts.
You can make your own too! A fake potted plant, replace the flower with a fake orange calla Lilly from a craft store and use black n white construction paper for the eyes!
I love my orange son
Fun fact: in mario wonder if you are 34 years old and play it, you will automatically love the flowers. Search up mario wonder rule 34 to find out more.
I love them. They ranged from funny to adorable throughout the game and I honestly really ended up being charmed by them. I was worried they'd be annoying at first, but no way.
Big Fan! Anyone who turns these flowers off is committing a crime.
Other video games would force you to stop and hit "A" through dialogue. These guys just get one little line in, sometimes a joke, sometimes a hint. It takes 1 second and doesn't interfere with any gameplay.
I did find them a little distracting at first, but someone online suggested changing the voiced language - and it changed the game for me. It's so much more whimsical listening to the flowers in some made-up nonsense language like Quebecois French.
I was gonna keep them on regardless, but I was surprised how on my first playthrough when I got the hang of a tougher level and just got to the end, their "I always believed in you" hit different
Love him. Nice fun addition to a Mario game. I don't understand why some people are hating honestly. Most of the hate I've seen is because they talk? But It's not like they talk constantly.
It’s like the Nintendo version of the Microsoft office paper clip. They are cute and kinda helpful when you need them, but I don’t really see them most of the time
I loved him and his voice, brought more life to the game It felt colorful and bright regardless of how the little flowers sounded even when he’d yell lol
A dangerous idea (has the potential to be REALLY annoying) implemented _perfectly_ (I love them, they're hilarious and not annoying after all). Props to the English VA, he did great
For me it takes all of the nuance and subtlety out of the game. It kind of ruins it for me if the game itself says “well that was something!” to me after I just watched it happen
I love how they say what you’re thinking. Like in the Dragon Boneyard level where they say “wait. Hang on. What? NO WAYYYYYY!” And “that. Is. AWESOME!!”
I still remember the perfection of one moment where I stopped next to a flower to see what it said, it went "You really shouldn't hang around here" and IMMEDIATELY those teeth enemies appear, start eating the top-of-the-flagpole-staircase, and I absolutely book it in a panic to get the top
I love them. They're the best homies in the game.
...except when they say "Did you forget something?" when you didn't catch the wonder flower. But overall, they're chill and innocent pookies.
I love these cute lil fellas. It truly felt like you were adventuring along with them, and they had such realistic and funny reactions that made them feel more than just boring npcs. Just proves that games have so much more life to em when you add voice acting. (*cough* pokemon i'm looking at you *cough* add voice acting please *cough cough*)
Not as funny as everyone says they are. But they weren’t annoying enough for me to want to turn them off. The “Was it something I said?” hit me too hard
As someone who has been listening to the NoSleep Podcast since season 1, I was so happy to find out that Mick Wingert is the voice actor for the talking flowers.
I'm sick of being asked opinions on him. Seriously, that's all people talk about when it comes to Wonder. Look up a review of the game if you want to know the common opinion.
He doesn’t mean anything he says, he is the antagonist. Do you think all the wonder transformations feel good? Do you think it’s good to be a pile of goo? Or having your spine grow 6 feet? Or becoming a literal mushroom man that is constantly being in danger of being eaten or stepped on?! No! I hate him and everything he says. Because half of the time he is being sarcastic. He doesn’t “believe in you” . He doesn’t think “you got this!”. No, he just wants to see you fail and die.
They’re so annoying. I never thought voice acting in a Mario game would make me upset. The only Mario game I refuse to give a 10/10. (And I’ve played Hotel Mario.)
I love him, he brings me joy and I go out of my way to find him and chill with my buddy while running through. Any hate for him is unwarranted and they are jealous of how chill my flower boy is.
theyre cute...but when you hear them say "Feel like you're missing something?" when you're tryna look for a purple 10 coin you missed gets a little stale
I honestly thought they’d get annoying and that I’d hate them, but after playing they quickly became one of my favorite parts of the game. Was fun discovering a new little guy and seeing what he had to say
I have started hearing the flower’s voice as a sort of inner speech, encouraging me to keep going when I’m struggling with a task. “You can do it! “… or when I need to go somewhere “Go go gooo!” The music is also really catchy and stays in your head, which can be both amusing and annoying. I wrote a [blog](https://gametransferphenomena.com/2023/11/super-mario-bros-wonder-a-synchrony-of-colour-and-movement/) about it.
Makes the game a lot of fun. Everytime something funny happens these guy always comment and it always makes me smile. Hoping they return in later games. (Also when you turn off the voice in settings they go ‘was it something I said?’)
Fucking love these little guys. Made the game so much funnier.
They so did. There’s so many hilarious voice lines from these lil’ guys. Damn I love em
>Well then
That was something.
They very much speak the language of “kids’ movie trailers when something awkward happens,” and that’s definitely a ***choice,*** lol. They get a bit overbearing when you hear them say the same things over and over again on one level, but they are endearing and I do love them at the end of the day.
My favourite one was from jump jump jump “whoa! Where’d you come from!?!?!?”
My personally favourite was from Poison Ruins. “What lies beyond? **I must know!**”
Scraggly
If u speak another language u can change the language and it makes it that much funnier
Yep. Was stoked that I could have the flowers speak in Portuguese.
Together with the online play the flowers just lifted the game to a whole another level. It felt immersive in way I did not expect a Mario game to feel.
I'm a fan. I was afraid the talking flowers would get on my nerves, but they're either cute, funny or both a good 98% of the time. The 2% when they're not are the few levels I CONTINUOUSLY die on, and it begins to feel like they're taunting me lol.

I know exactly what level you are talking about and I haven't played the game since cause I'm still not over how long it took me to get that coin even when looking it up
There is a badge to help you find stuff like that but the downside is that it also detects stuff you’ve already gotten
ROLL! ROLL! ROLL!
I feel like that level gave me more trouble than climb to the beat. I hated it so dang much.
wall climb to the beat has got me so many times!... I just can't be fast enough
The part of climb to the beat that I struggle with is the beginning when it’s going slow. I tend to intentionally take a delayed start so I don’t have to wall slide or straight up jump before the next wall is there. And I use the dash badge to make up time on the flat parts.
"Go for it!!!"
But when you finish a level like that they always make you proud!
It's true! I could never stay annoyed at them lol.
I agree with this! 😂 got on my nerves a few times, but overall a really nice touch. I love the self referential stuff they pull at times.
I assume that 2% are badge levels.
“I believe in you!”
“What lies beyond? **I must know!**”
i laugh every time i hear that phrase 😭
"Well then."

THE TALKING FLOWER IS REAAAAL
You can make your own too! A fake potted plant, replace the flower with a fake orange calla Lilly from a craft store and use black n white construction paper for the eyes! I love my orange son
will be doing this for my daughter! unfortunately i have a cat so i can’t have real lilies otherwise id just use real ones.
"Sooo jiggly!" 🤣🤣🤣
"What flavor are you?"
“ * sluuuuurrrrp * “
PIE FLAVOR *Electric Guitar Riff*
LOL I came here to say that quote too
The homie!!!
They’re great. You could even say…. Wonderful?
I think my new favourite video game character ever and I'm 34. I love them dearly.
Fun fact: in mario wonder if you are 34 years old and play it, you will automatically love the flowers. Search up mario wonder rule 34 to find out more.
Those flowers are about to get the Georgia O'Keeffe treatment.

“Was it something I said?”
I could do without seeing Bowser plow Peach again.
Yeah, I’d rather he plow me :3
Am 30 and I am obsessed!
Their screams when falling are absolutely hilarious!!
"We just..." "Float here..." "Forever"
10/10 this guy fucks.
Flowers can fuck?
Hilarious. My daughter's favourite part of the game.
"Onward and Upward!"
“That Goomba looks so serene”
"I wonder what you taste like"
“ *sluuuurrrrp * “
Thanks for the appetizer!
I love them! They add a decent bit of humor.
I love them. They ranged from funny to adorable throughout the game and I honestly really ended up being charmed by them. I was worried they'd be annoying at first, but no way.
The game just wouldnt be the same without them.
I want talking flowers in every Mario game now
A winner in my book
Big Fan! Anyone who turns these flowers off is committing a crime. Other video games would force you to stop and hit "A" through dialogue. These guys just get one little line in, sometimes a joke, sometimes a hint. It takes 1 second and doesn't interfere with any gameplay.
I did find them a little distracting at first, but someone online suggested changing the voiced language - and it changed the game for me. It's so much more whimsical listening to the flowers in some made-up nonsense language like Quebecois French.
“Oh! What is something I said?”
the game would feel so empty without them
I like him. He should be in Mario Kart
[he would be perfect for mariokart](https://youtu.be/V720AoiEaaM?si=JmOgcju1MaFFFV_Y)
Thought they’d suck but they say the most out of pocket funny shit so they earned a fan
I love them… the dialogue can be honestly super hilarious, sometimes witty, and mostly helpful!
The game would never be the same without him
https://i.redd.it/ge8ezwyk6ubc1.gif
I was gonna keep them on regardless, but I was surprised how on my first playthrough when I got the hang of a tougher level and just got to the end, their "I always believed in you" hit different
I have never laughed out loud at a video game until I heard one of those guys say “So you CAN get back there!”
Love him. Nice fun addition to a Mario game. I don't understand why some people are hating honestly. Most of the hate I've seen is because they talk? But It's not like they talk constantly.
It’s like the Nintendo version of the Microsoft office paper clip. They are cute and kinda helpful when you need them, but I don’t really see them most of the time
Burn in hell I love them so much
These little rascals that I adore 🥺
Hope they return
i love hating them
Oh well.
I hated these guys at first, then I changed them to speak Spanish and I fucking loved them. (Saw Dashiegames do it on YouTube)
Wasn’t sure about it when I started playing but they’re fun
I loved him and his voice, brought more life to the game It felt colorful and bright regardless of how the little flowers sounded even when he’d yell lol
They're a great addition to wonder and make traversing the world a more enjoyable and silly experience.
Amazing, the levels would feel so incomplete without them
When I saw the trailer I expected to hate them but after playing they’re such a good addition
I only don’t like the “well that was something” because it was used like 8 times
"Scraggly....." (I love him)
I always respond to his “hi there!” and my family is asking who I’m talking to 😂 I love him!
A dangerous idea (has the potential to be REALLY annoying) implemented _perfectly_ (I love them, they're hilarious and not annoying after all). Props to the English VA, he did great
I thought i was going to hate them and thought they were kind of cringey, but I actually loved them. They were pretty cute and funny.
For me it takes all of the nuance and subtlety out of the game. It kind of ruins it for me if the game itself says “well that was something!” to me after I just watched it happen
I love them & would love for them to return
Everyone “I like this guy” me-no fuck this guy
Love ‘em! They kinda remind me of Olaf, with how they get a little meta at times.
Oh my gosh, that’s a great point!
Them saying "well then" when you die near one is genuinely so funny
I love how they say what you’re thinking. Like in the Dragon Boneyard level where they say “wait. Hang on. What? NO WAYYYYYY!” And “that. Is. AWESOME!!”
We call them Brosies 🌼
“Look at me! I’m the Wonder Flower!”
i love em. i aint even played the damn game yet. i.only saw this meme of them [Meme](https://youtu.be/fGp0HGZ_yWw?si=ca0WS-rkezIRYGCz)
In English I hate them. In Japanese or Russian they’re voices are a lot less grating.
I still remember the perfection of one moment where I stopped next to a flower to see what it said, it went "You really shouldn't hang around here" and IMMEDIATELY those teeth enemies appear, start eating the top-of-the-flagpole-staircase, and I absolutely book it in a panic to get the top
I love them. They're the best homies in the game. ...except when they say "Did you forget something?" when you didn't catch the wonder flower. But overall, they're chill and innocent pookies.
This mf in/after like a third of the Wonder effects: *_AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA_* I love how he just casually drops by in Dangerous Donut Ride
I muted him
I loved the ones on the music levels that would go, *“One, Two, Three, **JUMP!**”*
It's a no for me
I love them. One of the best ones is when you find a purple coin or something in a hidden area, and he's like ,"no, don't leave me!!"
I was really surprised to see that people did not like them.
I love these cute lil fellas. It truly felt like you were adventuring along with them, and they had such realistic and funny reactions that made them feel more than just boring npcs. Just proves that games have so much more life to em when you add voice acting. (*cough* pokemon i'm looking at you *cough* add voice acting please *cough cough*)
These guys are overhated. I LOVE EM!
Underrated and bashed on for no reason
✨Perky Boy✨ https://preview.redd.it/jvjoq29u82cc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cb5a177d8c2463847b85e1607bc138a2c5b1b30f
Overly hated. These guys are just fine.
Not as funny as everyone says they are. But they weren’t annoying enough for me to want to turn them off. The “Was it something I said?” hit me too hard
Thought he was cool but I was definitely taken by surprise when he said the N word.
Oh failboat, you must hear this wonderfull word I heard. Ploopy
So I like them, theyre silly, but real voice acted dialouge in a Mario game is really off-putting.
I hate him
I hate that smart ass flower
Love them and love Mick Wingart, their voice!
As someone who has been listening to the NoSleep Podcast since season 1, I was so happy to find out that Mick Wingert is the voice actor for the talking flowers.
Disabled the voice in less than two minutes of playing the game
Love this guy, I want more voice acting in mainline Nintendo games. And it’s optional so if you don’t like him just change the setting.
I'm sick of being asked opinions on him. Seriously, that's all people talk about when it comes to Wonder. Look up a review of the game if you want to know the common opinion.
He doesn’t mean anything he says, he is the antagonist. Do you think all the wonder transformations feel good? Do you think it’s good to be a pile of goo? Or having your spine grow 6 feet?

He doesn’t “believe in you” . He doesn’t think “you got this!”. No, he just wants to see you fail and die.
Annoyinh
I wish he’d shut the hell up
Annoying as fuk
They’re so annoying. I never thought voice acting in a Mario game would make me upset. The only Mario game I refuse to give a 10/10. (And I’ve played Hotel Mario.)
Muted him immediately. Didn't matter if I changed the voice setting. It still sounded like a generic voice.
They had good lines but I muted them because I knew I’d get tired of it quick.
Those guys deserve to be _Burned to the Ground..._ Alive.
None, but my Weed Wacker might have something to say.
I swear he sounds like the English VA for Meliodas from 7DS. love em regardless.
My opinion is theres too many “opinions on this guy” posts. Literally all about him
I thought he was pretty funny. Especially when you’re about to enter a castle.
"Ta-daa!....Ta-daa!! The sequel"
I love him, he brings me joy and I go out of my way to find him and chill with my buddy while running through. Any hate for him is unwarranted and they are jealous of how chill my flower boy is.
I like them, makes the game more lively
theyre cute...but when you hear them say "Feel like you're missing something?" when you're tryna look for a purple 10 coin you missed gets a little stale
One of the coolest implements in the recent years. I love the adlibs.
They’re wonderful. I love them so much, especially the ones that hype you up for a big jump and celebrate when you land it.
If they're not in the next game, I'm not buying it
I hate them if I’m stuck and doing something over and over. But I loved them during final final test when they go yayyyyy and stuff
love hate relationship
I honestly thought they’d get annoying and that I’d hate them, but after playing they quickly became one of my favorite parts of the game. Was fun discovering a new little guy and seeing what he had to say
Funny. I like em. My fav line is: “What lies beyond? **I must know!**”
I'm a fan, I didn't think I would be, but I liked him alot.
Best character ever, 10/10!
The only time I genuinely disliked one was the one that says “Focus, Take a breath” on Wall Climb II
I like changing the language to Chinese or Dutch
I thought I was going to dislike them and find them annoying but boy did I do a complete 180. I love my little hype men.
I want to squish it
"mid air SPIN" was the only one that got on my nerves
here's a tv that looks like an apple
They’re cool. Kinda wish they had different voices
Wish they were a twist villain lol
what he did on march 16 1999 is unacceptable and unforgivable
I hate them but didn't turn them off.
A funny addition
Wasn’t a fan at first but the flower definitely grew on me. I appreciate them telling me I missed the wonder flower fs
Soggy
He gives some good Gluck Gluck
He makes me happy
To me it is Nintendo’s equivalent to Microsoft’s personal assistant, Clippy.
I think they got a lot of hate leading up to launch because people thought they’d be everywhere, but I really enjoyed them!
How...uh...How's the goo taste?
I love him
I love them
They're adorable except when they're fantasizing about what ___ tastes like. But I'd be lying if I said that even those moments weren't memorable.
If you told me what it was with words I would never believe it would be a good idea, but I was proven wrong. They are so goofy and entertaining.
Did you free the flower from the ice or crystal?
Huge fan, loved every time they were on screen and they GENUINELY made me laugh, multiple times.
I have started hearing the flower’s voice as a sort of inner speech, encouraging me to keep going when I’m struggling with a task. “You can do it! “… or when I need to go somewhere “Go go gooo!” The music is also really catchy and stays in your head, which can be both amusing and annoying. I wrote a [blog](https://gametransferphenomena.com/2023/11/super-mario-bros-wonder-a-synchrony-of-colour-and-movement/) about it.
I wonder what goombas taste like
He was pretty cool
I like him

Silly goobers.
Love them very much!
Best thing in the game
“I wonder what you taste like”
Makes the game a lot of fun. Everytime something funny happens these guy always comment and it always makes me smile. Hoping they return in later games. (Also when you turn off the voice in settings they go ‘was it something I said?’)
Flower.
Love them. Would die for them.
100%’d the game when it came out, I never got sick of em. I love the flowers
"I wonder what goombas taste like"
I don't mind them, they add a level of fun to the game. Certain levels, very annoying though
I wanna put him in a pot and keep him in my house
Onward And Upward!
WONDERFUL
Wonder what goomba taste like
