Super Mario Bros. Wonder is overflowing with things to collect, secrets to uncover, and plenty of new mechanics to discover and use. Among the fresh additions to the franchise in this outing is its badge system, which allows you to select a perk of sorts at the beginning of a match. However, to use the badges, you’ll first need to find them throughout Super Mario Bros. Wonder‘s various challenges and Poplin Shops. When it comes to unlocking the final badge, though, you’ll have to put in quite a bit of extra work. Here’s what you’ll need to do to score the quirky “Sound Off?” badge, which has a pretty funny and unique action attached to it.

How to get the final badge

To get the final badge in Super Mario Bros. Wonder, you’ll need to unlock a very well-hidden secret final level called The Final-Final Test Badge Marathon. Based on our testing, unlocking this ultra-challenging stage requires you to meet the following criteria:

  • Collect every Wonder Seed
  • Collect every 10-flower coin
  • Grab the top of every flagpole
  • Complete all other Special World stages

This secret final level will test the mettle of even platformer veterans, so be prepared for quite a challenge on your quest to score the final badge. You’ll have to make use of everything you’ve learned throughout all of Super Mario Bros. Wonder‘s previous levels and pull it all off with extreme precision. As a reward, though, the “Sound Off?” badge will be yours.

So what exactly does the “Sound Off?” badge do? Well, it’s not going to provide you with any useful abilities that help you complete a level. Instead, it makes all the sound effects in the game even wackier than before by changing them entirely to a cappella versions. In other words, if funny mouth noises get you laughing, you’ll love this one. Otherwise, you’re probably better off sticking with badges that can actually help you.

If you've been curious about Xbox Cloud Gaming but didn't want another monthly subscription, Microsoft may have a new option for you. The company is testing a free, ad-supported version of Xbox Cloud Gaming for Xbox Insiders, allowing eligible players to stream select games they already own without a Game Pass membership.

However, you'll have to watch a short advertisement before your session begins. Microsoft says the ads will never interrupt gameplay, making this an early test of whether a simple tradeoff can bring cloud gaming to more players.

Lenovo has expanded its LOQ gaming laptop lineup with a new graphics option. The company has introduced a refreshed version of the LOQ 17IRX10, pairing Intel's Core i7-14700HX processor with Nvidia's newly announced GeForce RTX 5070 12GB laptop GPU. The update gives buyers another configuration to choose from without changing the overall design or feature set of the laptop.

The new variant joins Lenovo's existing LOQ 17IRX10 lineup, which was previously available with GeForce RTX 5050, RTX 5060, and RTX 5070 8GB graphics options. While the chassis remains unchanged, the addition of a 12GB RTX 5070 brings more VRAM to the series, a specification that has become increasingly important as modern AAA games demand larger texture caches and higher memory capacity.

Lenovo’s new thin-and-light handheld leaves out one crucial detail
This tiny Legion handheld puts the cloud in your hands

Lenovo has revealed more details about an upcoming Legion gaming handheld that could be among the thinnest and lightest devices in its category. The Legion C700 will measure just 14.99mm at its thinnest point and weigh approximately 556 grams, or around 1.25 pounds. By comparison, Lenovo’s Legion Go S is 22.6mm thick and weighs about 730 grams, while the ASUS ROG Ally X measures 24.7mm and weighs 678 grams.

Trimming these figures down should make the C700 much easier to hold for long periods and carry in a bag. But all of this portability comes at a cost--and that's cloud gaming.
