Ghosts[1] are forms in Super Mario Bros. Wonder that characters take in co-op or online play mode when they are defeated and out of play, serving as the replacement for bubbles found in previous Super Mario games. Ghosts take the form of spirits resembling either a character's Small form or, in the case of the Yoshis and Nabbit, their default form.
While in this form, the character gains the ability to move freely in any direction, even being able to pass through solid walls, as well as the ability to briefly gain a burst of speed by pressing 
. However, a timer is displayed that counts down from five seconds; the player character will begin to panic when the countdown is anywhere below three. The ghost must touch another player in play or a standee in order to respawn; if the player was defeated, they will be in their Small form if not playing as a Yoshi or Nabbit. Otherwise, they keep the form they had when being revived. A player earns Heart Points by reviving an online player in this way. The ghost form's timer will count down progressively faster for each time the player is rescued. If the countdown runs out before the player respawns, they lose a life. The player can also hold 
and 
while in play to intentionally become a ghost, then press them again as a ghost to lose a life immediately.
