Super Mario Bros. Wonder has plenty of new features for players to experience including badges like the Sound Off? Badge. Badges are an item that Mario and his friends can equip to give them additional powers or boosts as they complete levels. They are accrued slowly throughout the game and can be swapped out as desired.
There are 24 badges in total to collect, with each one being unique in of the new Super Mario Bros. Wonder power-ups they provide. The Sound Off? Badge is the 24th and final badge that will be collected while completing the game, but getting it is not as simple as obtaining the others. No level rewards this badge, rather, players must complete certain tasks throughout the game to get it.
How To Get The Sound Off? Badge
As stated, no level rewards the Sound Off? badge. As the final badge, it serves as more of a completion reward than a tool to utilize the way that the other badges are. This means that players will need to complete some hefty tasks to obtain this badge at the end of their playthrough. To obtain the Sound Off? Badge in Super Mario Bros. Wonder, players will need to,
- Find every Special World Course entrance and complete each one.
- Gather every single Wonder Seed and Flower Coin from the various levels.
- Touch the top of the flagpole at the end of every level.
- Complete the Final-Final Test: Badge Marathon level in the Special World.
Special World Courses correlate to the different Worlds of Super Mario Bros. Wonder, therefore, each one will have a separate entrance to its associated level as the World is completed.
None of these tasks is any small feat, so it's best to try to get ahead and do as much as possible on the first run-through to avoid having to backtrack quite as much. While the Special World courses have to be unlocked as progress is made throughout the game, collecting Wonder Seeds and Flower Coins can be done while completing the levels the first time, as well as reaching the top of the flagpole.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder: 10 Best Badges, Ranked
There are 24 special Badges in Super Mario Bros. Wonder that can affect the gameplay mechanics during a level, here are the ten most fun.
What Does The Sound-Off? Badge Do
While it may not seem particularly worth it to complete such difficult tasks to obtain something Mario will have virtually no need for once he receives it, this unique Badge can make replaying levels very enjoyable as it does not offer any special ability.
Instead, equipping the Sound Off? Badge will cause all the sound effects of the level to be replaced with a cappella versions of their sound, making for a hilarious run-through as voices yell things like "coin" and imitate the "thump" sound of Mario stomping on his enemies. Not to mention, for any completionist, obtaining this last and final badge is a must in Super Mario Bros. Wonder.
