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.

Anthropic cracks down on video game cloning with new Claude restrictions
Claude can still help develop original games, but copying existing titles is now off the table.

AI has been making its way into video game development for a while now, but the recent developments have started raising some serious concerns. Popular games are being reverse-engineered with AI assistance, recreated for web browsers, and made playable on platforms they were never released for. Between all that, indie developers have started pulling down their demos over fears of getting copied. Anthropic has now stepped in with new restrictions for Claude Code.

The change was first spotted on X and subsequently confirmed by Anthropic's Addy Osmani. The new instructions prevent Claude from recreating specific existing games, even if they are renamed or presented as original projects. Users can still make original games, work on games within a genre, and use their own designs and assets.

Phantom Blade Zero hands-on: An extraordinary game with unbelievable combat that I can’t get enough of
Every fight feels like a beautifully choreographed martial arts movie, except I'm the one controlling every move.

We have had a considerable number of high-profile game releases this year, but none so far have had as much hype behind them as Phantom Blade Zero. The source of all that hype was a 2023 trailer highlighting its fluid kung-fu-derived sword combat. Considering that, at the time of writing this piece, there are over 700,000 concurrent players on Steam alone, on a weekday no less, I think it's safe to say that the hype has converted into gamers actually showing up for the game. I have sunk around 10 hours into this game today, and so far, it has been nothing short of an absolute masterclass in action combat.
