Everyone's favorite plucky plumber, Princess Peach, five Toads (Red, Green, Yellow, Blue, and Purple) and Toadsworth go on a vacation. When they arrive at scenic Isle Delfino, they find that the place has been polluted and plastered with graffiti. Additionally, the Shine Sprites that power the island have disappeared. The culprit is a guy who looks suspiciously like Mario. Everyone's favorite plumber is promptly arrested as he arrives, falsely accused of vandalizing the island. He is put on trial, found guilty, and is ordered to clean up the graffiti and recover the Shine Sprites; but fortunately, to help with the cleaning, Mario uses a water cannon/jetpack contraption called FLUDD. Wacky hijinks ensue, Peach gets kidnapped yet again, Bowser turns out to be behind it all, and he now has a son to boot.Notably features full voice-acted dialogue for all the main characters except Mario. Subsequent games in the main series have returned to dialogue boxes, along with voiced sound effects. Overall, this was the 3D Mario to break away from the "Mario formula" the most; tellingly, classic enemies like the Goombas and regular Koopa Troopas are nowhere to be found, and since it all takes place on a tropical island, Mario's nowhere near the Mushroom Kingdom.Originally released on Nintendo GameCube in 2002, the game got an Updated Re-release on Nintendo Switch as a part of Super Mario 3D All-Stars for the 35th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. | |

Extendo Boxing Glove: Several of the alcoves in Noki Bay are rigged with booby traps that knock Mario backwards. One of these traps is a giant, spring-loaded boxing glove called a Puncher. | |

Shadow Mario (a.k.a. Bowser Jr.) shows up about a dozen times total, the seventh mission of each world being an encounter with him, even after his disguise has been blown. Each "fight" against him consists of chasing him down until you've sprayed him with enough water. | |

Antepiece | |
| Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game) / int_13dcb20b | comment |
Antepiece: The sinkable mud boats are first found in Noki Bay, where you can pilot them around. From Mission 5 onward, you can do so without fear of punishment, since crashing them just dunks you in the now-clean water and the boat respawns back in its original starting point. They are not mandatory to completing any level in Noki Bay, but are very handy for collecting a number of blue coins scattered above the waters. However, a mandatory mud boat section later shows up in Corona Mountain (the Very Definitely Final Dungeon), where crashing the boat will get you killed due to the lava. A similar, more relatively short-term example are the lily pads in Bianco Hills. Most of the time, you have ample time to practice using the lily pads to float around the lake. Since they are more durable than the mud boats, you can cruise around the lake at your leisure, going to places with blue coins in the water. When the lake gets contaminated though, the lily pads will eventually expire, forcing you to find a replacement, and this is one of two routes you'll need to use to access the episode's obstacle level (the other is a triple jump from the windmill spire). In the Lily Pad Ride in Delfino Plaza, you'll need to collect 8 Red Coins by piloting a lily pad across a river of poisonous water before it expires. The first few fights against Polluted Piranha Plants teach the basic mechanics of F.L.U.D.D. — namely that the timing and direction of F.L.U.D.D.'s spray matter when trying to deal effective damage against bosses. The areas these enemies are fought in are open spaces surrounded by water so the player can experiment with low stakes. The first fight against Petey Piranha is fought in a smaller and enclosed space with no water, but the physical similarities between these two bosses clues the player in that the general strategy of beating these bosses should also be similar. The Bowser pad on the lighthouse roof. These are littered around the edges of the final boss arena and are used the same way; if you didn't do the one on the lighthouse, you might not have known immediately what to do. But then again, it doesn't appear in any place other than the two mentioned. | |

Fake Longevity | |
| Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game) / int_14184bc7 | comment |
Fake Longevity: It was an issue that Super Mario 64 created, in that getting a power star would boot you back to the hub-world, but here in Sunshine, the problem is exacerbated. It clocks in at 120 Shine Sprites, resembling the count of Super Mario 64, and to reach this high number in only eight major courses (and a few bonus areas), a lot of quests were rehashed or even outright repeated, like a boss battle that is fought no less than three times. Even getting the 100-coin Shine Sprite will kick you out of the level. | |

Crate Expectations | |
| Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game) / int_14e569d5 | comment |
Crate Expectations: There are a fair few crates. They can be broken with a ground pound. Two of the game's 120 Shines require the player to break an arrangement of crates within a time limit (and both Shines are acquired through the exact same minigame, but in the second play there are more and have a more difficult arrangement as well). | |

Bloopers native to Isle Delfino, or "Gesso", spit an ink-like black goop. One of the missions in Ricco Harbor involves the harbor's water flooding with this black goop not unlike an oil-spill caused by Gooper Blooper. | |

Also in Pinna Park is a flying enemy called Swipin' Stu, which has the unique ability to steal Mario's cap right off his head. A group of them appear on the beach outside the park, but only in certain episodes. A walking variation of Swipin' Stu exists Dummied Out in the King Boo boss fight, but never appears in-game at all. | |

Violation of Common Sense | |
| Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game) / int_1b2b1d2c | comment |
Violation of Common Sense: One of the best moves for getting around quickly is to spray water at the ground, then dive at that spot. You'll keep drifting forward like you're on a wet slip-and-slide, still have limited directional control, and you'll just keep going until you jump out of it or run into something. That little patch of water sure goes a long way, even on sand, stone, you name it. | |

The Heavy: While Bowser is the Final Boss, and the idea of ruining Mario's vacation came from him, he's content to sit in his tub for most of the game. Bowser Jr., on the other hand, is the most recurring antagonist and the one to drive the plot. He frames Mario for polluting Delfino Island and shows up at every level at least once to screw with him. | |

Palmtree Panic | |
| Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game) / int_1e0878c2 | comment |
Palmtree Panic: The game's tropical setting means that there are several levels that take place at the beach, with Gelato Beach being the purest iteration due to its focus on classic beach imagery in its aesthetics and level design (there's a nearby coral reef, open-air beachside stores/dining, sand castles, etc.). While Pinna Park and Sirena Beach are an Amusement Park and a Big Boo's Haunt hotel, respectively, they both have a part of their maps at the beach and a couple of their Episodes dedicated to that section. | |

All or Nothing: If Mario fails in the Balloon game at Pinna Park or loses any of the Il Piantissimo races, he will lose a life. An exception is the Ricco Harbor Blooper Race. Crashing will get Mario instantly killed, but if he simply doesn't finish the race in time, Mario will just be transported back to the hub world. | |

Aborted Arc: The very plotline that kickstarted the game (Mario gets framed for Shadow Mario and has to clear his name after being arrested and sentenced to clean the island) is all but essentially dropped after the prologue and barely gets brought up again afterwards once you have access to the full plaza. It essentially acts only as an Excuse Plot to justify why Mario has to clean up the island. | |

Lava Is Boiling Kool-Aid: Corona Mountain. The lava is actually Grimy Water that is colored yellow and orange. If Mario falls into it, there is a water splash, he instantly dies, and his silhouette can be seen floating like a dead corpse. If you use a cheat code to keep your life meter full at all times, you can actually swim under the surface just like in regular water, too. | |

Apathetic Citizens | |
| Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game) / int_25dc6ef5 | comment |
Apathetic Citizens: The residents of Delfino Plaza are not only unwilling to lift a finger to help recover the Shine Sprites or capture Shadow Mario, but at multiple points, there's a man running around on fire and nobody else seems motivated to try to help him. What makes it even worse is that the man on fire doesn't even help himself. He runs back and forth endlessly along the same few feet of sidewalk, despite the fact that he's only a few yards away from the ocean. The manager of Hotel Delfino lampshades this. He asks Mario to get rid of Phantamanta and acknowledges that he doesn't even know who Mario is, just that he looks like someone who is very capable. The citizens of Isle Delfino are in a lather because the Shine Sprites need collecting so they can brighten up the Plaza, yet a ton of said citizens, not the least of which being in the Plaza, already have a number of Shine Sprites in their possession. But instead of just pooling them earlier, or giving them to Mario so the island can be brightened sooner, they putter around and make him collect blue coins for them or break crates or whatnot. The keeper of the blue coin Shine Sprites in particular has one-fifth of all the Shine Sprites in his possession, yet he requires ten blue coins each before he'll let any one of them out. Despite how Easily Condemned Mario was, no one thinks of arresting this guy despite the fact that he's basically holding the island's Cosmic Keystones for ransom. Outside of the plaza is slightly better, such as the hotel on Sirena Beach, where one of the Piantas guesses that the shiny object in the blocked-off room is a Shine Sprite, not actually knowing what they look like, while those in the plaza have a giant statue of one looking over them, and thus really have no excuse. The one exception is a level where you have to traverse a series of platforms by getting Piantas to throw you to them. And even then, if you talk to them from the wrong angle, they'll throw you into the bottomless abyss, essentially murdering you. The Pianta citizens of Isle Delfino in general seem to be either completely apathetic or simply too unintelligent to be of any help most of the time. Some minor characters take this up to eleven: There is one Pianta who claims to be stranded on an island for 30 years because he cannot swim - said island is approached by a boat every two minutes. Another has been looking for a legendary red bird for 38 years, despite the bird in question being the only bird in the whole area and in plain sight for him. This is surprisingly inverted with the Nokis, a minority of shellfish people, who are both more likely to notice that Shadow Mario and Mario are two obviously different people and actively assist Mario however they can while he is cleaning up their own section of the island. A notable exception among the Piantas exists in Pianta Village. The mayor of the town enlists Mario's help with various tasks because he himself is not capable of assisting. However, before The Goopy Inferno, he gets to the highest point in the center of the village to direct all his citizens to a safe zone away from the burning goop. He is, rightfully, considered a hero by the people. | |

Advanced Movement Technique | |
| Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game) / int_26c4741a | comment |
Advanced Movement Technique: The fastest way to move around is to do a dive into a wet surface, which will cause Mario to slide around on his belly (much further and longer than you'd expect). Since Mario is wearing F.L.U.D.D. most of the time, he can easily create a wet patch in front of him almost anywhere, letting him slide around much faster than by walking around. | |

Bilingual Bonus | |
| Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game) / int_294ed981 | comment |
Bilingual Bonus: Most of the location names have Italian words in them. For those curious: Delfino: Dolphin, tying in with the shape of the island.note Isle Delfino is called Dolphic Island in the Japanese version, but Hotel Delfino and Casino Delfino use the same names in both English and Japanese. Bianco: White, tying in with the predominantly white pathways and buildings throughout the course. Ricco: Rich Gelato: Ice creamnote technically a kind of ice cream, tying in with the beach resort setting. Pinna: Fin, tying in with the fact that it's located on the island that corresponds to Isle Delfino's "tailfin." Sirena: Mermaid Pianta: Plantnote In the Japanese version, however, they're called "Monte", meaning "mountain". Their description on the map even calls them "the mountain people". Corona: Crown Il Piantissimo: ...The Very Plant, The Most Plant-iest... or "Very Pianta." Noki: May be an alternate spelling of "gnocchi", a type of short pasta or for small potato dumplings of the same name. The Noki themselves are kind of round and lumpy, so they kind of look like gnocchi. In the Japanese version, Nokis are the Mare (sea) people. There are signs around Delfino Plaza with the word "Benvenuto", or welcome. | |

You can get the second Shine Sprite in Bianco Hills without obtaining the first one by going straight to Petey Piranha at to the top of the windmill during Episode 1. This gets lampshaded by an NPC at the windmill if you talk to him, as he wonders what you're doing there. | |

Artifact Alias | |
| Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game) / int_2a729dd9 | comment |
Artifact Alias: Bowser Jr. initially disguises himself as a double of Mario (Shadow Mario). But even after his true identity is discovered (about midway through the game), Bowser Jr. still often shows up as Shadow Mario. In most cases, this is justified by Bowser Jr. wanting to continue ruining Mario's reputation, but Shadow Mario continues to appear in the cutscenes in which he steals Mario's FLUDD, where only Mario is there to see him. | |

Level in the Clouds | |
| Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game) / int_2af6a2cb | comment |
Level in the Clouds: The game has the daytime obstacle courses, as well as the highest area of Pianta Village. The obstacle courses consist of wooden contraptions floating in the sky, and in each case Mario has to deal with their gimmicks in order to clear them (for example, the Pachinko stage has a collection of red coins necessary to claim the Shine Sprite, but the surrounding physics of the contraption makes their collection difficult). The high area of Pianta Village can be accessed with the fluffs that appear in Episode 8, and one of the necessary red coins in that episode lies in the floating clouds. The oddity is that the cloud platforms can be enlarged with FLUDD's water. | |

Check-Point Starvation | |
| Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game) / int_2bfd6a1e | comment |
Checkpoint Starvation: Losing a life in a standard level mission will kick you back to that level's entrance in Delfino Plaza. However, the game makes an exception with the obstacle courses (including those of the Sky & Sea variety): You can retry them as many times as lives you have left without needing to re-enter the mission where they're located, let alone having to reach them again. Another exception is made with the final battle (which comes off as a huge relief, considering the very difficult path in Corona Mountain). | |

Invisible Wall | |
| Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game) / int_2f755152 | comment |
Invisible Wall: There's one in the middle of the ocean which not keeps you not only from going out too far, but also from sequence breaking by selecting a mission in one area and then swimming directly to another. For instance, Delfino Plaza and Ricco Harbor are practically right on top of each other, but if you try to swim from one to the other, you'll almost make it, then smack right into the invisible wall and have to go back. D.E.B.S. does mention losing contact with the various levels Mario needs to find entrances to. | |

Recurring Boss | |
| Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game) / int_3bb81225 | comment |
Recurring Boss: Shadow Mario (a.k.a. Bowser Jr.) shows up about a dozen times total, the seventh mission of each world being an encounter with him, even after his disguise has been blown. Each "fight" against him consists of chasing him down until you've sprayed him with enough water. Gooper Blooper is fought three times, twice in Ricco Harbor, and once in Noki Bay. Gooper Blooper manages to use a new trick in his second Ricco Harbor encounter, but Noki Bay reduces him back to his first one (as this fight can be done out of order). The Piranha Plant made of goop has to be fought five times. The first three fights are identical, but the last two increase the difficulty by doubling the amount of damage you need to deal. Petey Piranha shows up twice, both in Bianco Hills (though the second fight doesn't take place in an encased battlefield, but instead in all of Bianco Hills). | |

Toxic bubbles come out of Eely Mouth, and will drastically reduce Mario's Oxygen Meter if touched; however, if they're shot with FLUDD's water, they'll be purified and will actually restore oxygen upon contact. | |

Dual Boss | |
| Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game) / int_486466ee | comment |
Dual Boss: The Final Boss is a fight against both Bowser and his son. Bowser breathes fire at you and tips the tub to splash you with hot water quite often, while a barrage of Bullet Bills is fired at you from Bowser Jr.'s submarine. | |

Scenery Porn | |
| Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game) / int_49d59be9 | comment |
Scenery Porn: Definitely one of the game's selling points, especially when compared to the blocky, primitive polygons of Super Mario 64. The environments are rich and detailed, the lighting is excellent, and the rendering of the water is at least as good as in Galaxy. The pop-up (or "fade-in") is also remarkably good, except for some items like coins. The huge draw distance helps add to the game's cohesiveness; you can actually see other locations from different points on the island. | |

Happy Circus Music | |
| Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game) / int_4a235e15 | comment |
Happy Circus Music: This game has a rather unusual example with the Pinna Park music. It's a swingy tune on honky-tonk piano/xylophone, not quite what you'd expect from an amusement park. However, it still keeps the fun, bouncy spirit of more traditional circus music. | |

Opening the Sandbox | |
| Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game) / int_4ac55d49 | comment |
Opening the Sandbox: The game opens completely after Shadow Mario starts trying to steal FLUDD accesories and a Yoshi egg. When those are retrieved, every Shine Sprite from Delfino Plaza will be ready to be collected and any level yet to be unlocked will be accessible with the help of those powerups. In fact, by that point the only thing needed to unlock the final mission is defeating Shadow Mario in every level at least once each. | |

Shock and Awe | |
| Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game) / int_4c798fd5 | comment |
Shock and Awe: Electrokoopas have electrified shells, which they can use as projectile weapons. The key to defeat them is to spray them with water right after they throw the shell; this way, the electricity will creep onto their bodies, killing them. It's also possible to simply kick them out from below in fences (in fact, this is the only way to get rid of a larger-than-usual specimen that's overcharging the ferris wheel of Pinna Park). Phantamanta is a ghostly manta ray that spreads electric paint as it moves. It also doubles as an Asteroids Monster, as spraying water will split it into smaller manta rays, and each of them will continue leaving traces of electric paint. | |

Gotta Catch Them All | |
| Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game) / int_527fc5fe | comment |
Gotta Catch Them All: Mario can reach Bowser with as few as 50note Technically 49 (43 with glitches), as it is possible to sequence break and skip the first Shine Sprite in Bianco Hills. It is also possible to clip through the roof of the Surf Cabana in Gelato Beach, allowing you to get the eighth Shine in episode 1, thereby opening up episode 7. One can also skip the fifth Shine in Pinna Park by clipping into the park with Yoshi after unlocking him by beating episode 4 to get the sixth Shine. Shine Sprites; however, Mario can't just choose any 50 to go after. There is a mandatory path of missions to complete, and any other Shines outside that path do nothing but boost Mario's overall Shine Sprite count. Which means that over half the Shine Sprites in the game serve no other purpose than collecting them for 100% Completion. In turn, collecting all Shine Sprites requires gathering all Blue Coins. In Super Mario 64, Blue Coins are just uncommon coins worth five normal coins, but in this game, they're collectables. 30 in each of the seven levels with another 19 in the main area, 1 in the tutorial area, and 10 in the final area. The point is that a shop on Delfino's pier will trade a Shine Sprite for every 10 Blue Coins, meaning that one-fifth of the game's Shine Sprites are dependent on blue coins. | |

All the Worlds Are a Stage | |
| Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game) / int_56a6927b | comment |
All the Worlds Are a Stage: The "Shell Secret" obstacle course in Noki Bay (Episode 6) utilizes sections of almost every secret area that a player would realistically have visited prior, albeit not in order. For example, the beginning features a flipping wooden platform like one that a player would have seen in Bianco Hills' "Episode 6: The Secret of the Dirty Lake". Later on, closer to the end, there are flipping rectangular blocks like those that would be seen in Ricco Harbor's "Episode 4: The Secret of Ricco Tower". The mixture of familiar setpieces in this course is justified, because the remaining secret area ("Secret of the Underside Village" in Pianta Village) is also the last, and uses a gimmick that is frequent in the normal level episodes (Chucksters's throws) but is never seen in obstacle courses until then. | |

Green Aesop | |
| Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game) / int_56b53152 | comment |
Green Aesop: The game features a prominent anti-pollution message. The game kicks off when Bowser Jr. covers the entire island in goop, which causes the Shine Sprites to scatter from the Shine Gate, and several missions revolve around locations becoming swamped in goop or otherwise polluted. In particular, Noki Bay features a story arc where Mario has to spend four missions figuring out how to clean up the polluted water. This even extends to the US trailer, where a group of children sing about how "clean is better than dirty." | |

Police Are Useless: The only time the Delfino Police attempt to do their jobs is when they arrest Mario — the wrong guy. The worst example of their uselessness comes near the beginning of the game when Shadow Mario attempts to capture Peach, and Mario has to chase him down. The police not only do nothing to stop the kidnapping, but they still refuse to acknowledge that Mario is not the real criminal even though the entire scene unfolds right in front of their eyes, and prefer to accuse him of slacking off. | |

Nintendo Hard: This game has unconventional gameplay compared to the previous games, and its physics engine has a tendency to glitch out. Several Shine Sprite objectives require very precision platforming skills or excellent timing. Special mention goes to the Delfino Plaza mission that requires you to keep a Yoshi alive (by not falling into the water or having its Juice meter deplete) as you ride it to a pipe on a far-off island that you need to de-gunk by hopping across several slow-moving boats. Once you get there and jump in the pipe, you have to ride down a polluted waterway that instantly kills Mario if he falls in, riding on slowly disintegrating leaves to collect red coins. There's also the Red Coin level based on a pachinko machine that is incredibly difficult due to the above mentioned wonky physics, which seem to be at their wonkiest and most frustrating here. | |

Gameplay and Story Segregation | |
| Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game) / int_6320eced | comment |
Gameplay and Story Segregation: The Excuse Plot is that Shadow Mario stole the Shine Sprites, causing the Delfino Island's sunny weather to turn gloomy, and Mario gets falsely accused, so he's forced to help gather them again. Except that most of the Shine Sprites aren't "lost" or "stolen" at all; they're held by Delfino Island's inhabitants, who hand them to you when you help them. One can wonder why these people are allowed to keep a Shine Sprite for themselves, given how important they are to the island's climate, or why Mario even gets blamed for their "disappearance". One citizen (the blue coin merchant) even owns 24 of the Shine Sprites! The flooding of Corona Mountain after completing Episode 7 of each stage is said to have cleaned up the graffiti marks in Delfino Plaza, although this is actually done by Mario's vigilant spraying; letting the city flood and not spraying those marks lets them be (which is justified in that cleaning these up yields blue coins). | |

Critical Existence Failure: Downplayed; although Mario can still do all his fancy acrobatics at all health levels, his voice noticeably sounds much weaker when he has only one or two hits left, and he acts fatigued during his idle animations. | |

Amusement Park of Doom | |
| Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game) / int_660d1f3e | comment |
Amusement Park of Doom: Pinna Park is usually a safe, entertaining amusement park, but stopped being so since Shadow Mario (a.k.a. Bowser Jr.) rigged it to give hell to Mario. The cannon in the coast was given to an angry Monty Mole, the wooden ships that are hanging airborne are swinging more erratically (and, at one point, gain enough momentum to spin a full lap vertically), the ferris wheel is spinning too fast due to a big Electrokoopa overpowering it, one of the Yoshi seats in the carousel is missing, and all of that is predated by Shadow Mario himself summoning a gigantic Humongous Mecha called Mecha-Bowser to defeat Mario and forcefully escort Princess Peach to Corona Mountain. | |

Cosmetic Award | |
| Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game) / int_6e7e9709 | comment |
Cosmetic Award: The sunglasses and Shine Sprite shirt (before you beat the game, you just get the sunglasses after getting 30 Shine Sprites). The sunglasses aren't completely non-functional, as they turn down the game's brightness by a degree once it starts getting too bright. However, this doesn't affect gameplay in any way, unless the player just prefers a darker screen. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: There are thirty blue coins in every world, but where they are and whether they're even available changes from mission to mission. There are a few you can pick up the pattern for easily enough (i.e. cleaning certain patterns of graffiti), but there are just as many with obscure patterns, so it is basically impossible to tell where they are without a guide. Some Shine Sprites are in extremely obtuse locations or have a bizarre trigger to obtain, with little to no hints to help you. There are such gems as "Spray a random yellow bird", "Spray a random patch of ground", and "Spray water at the sun from a specific spot." Each level contains two hidden Shine Sprites, which the game never even hints at. Furthermore even within the levels themselves there's no clues as to where they are. The most common hidden Shine Sprites lie in the Secret Courses, but for levels with only one Secret Course, good luck finding the other hidden Shine Sprite. | |

Marathon Boss: Phantamanta provides one of the longest boss battles in the Mario series for being an Asteroids Monster. It starts as a big, phantom-like manta ray, and can split into up to 64 smaller rays, which spread across the coast of Sirena Beach as they spill electric goo; this forces the player to both clean up the mess and eliminate the rays one by one. | |

Excuse Plot | |
| Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game) / int_70d8269d | comment |
The Excuse Plot is that Shadow Mario stole the Shine Sprites, causing the Delfino Island's sunny weather to turn gloomy, and Mario gets falsely accused, so he's forced to help gather them again. Except that most of the Shine Sprites aren't "lost" or "stolen" at all; they're held by Delfino Island's inhabitants, who hand them to you when you help them. One can wonder why these people are allowed to keep a Shine Sprite for themselves, given how important they are to the island's climate, or why Mario even gets blamed for their "disappearance". One citizen (the blue coin merchant) even owns 24 of the Shine Sprites! | |

Idiot Ball: There are many instances where Isle Delfino citizens can see Shadow Mario running around stealing things, leaving many a litre of goop in his wake; he is usually followed a few seconds later by the real Mario, the latter often stopping to scrub the former's mess. Yet the court's decision never gets reversed... Some of the inhabitants have Shine Sprites that they give to to Mario when he completes a mission. Whether they're too stupid to hand over the Shines to the authorities, or they're willfully hoarding them and the authorities are too stupid to arrest them is for the viewer to decide. | |

100% Completion | |
| Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game) / int_77f6cc58 | comment |
Mario can reach Bowser with as few as 50note Technically 49 (43 with glitches), as it is possible to sequence break and skip the first Shine Sprite in Bianco Hills. It is also possible to clip through the roof of the Surf Cabana in Gelato Beach, allowing you to get the eighth Shine in episode 1, thereby opening up episode 7. One can also skip the fifth Shine in Pinna Park by clipping into the park with Yoshi after unlocking him by beating episode 4 to get the sixth Shine. Shine Sprites; however, Mario can't just choose any 50 to go after. There is a mandatory path of missions to complete, and any other Shines outside that path do nothing but boost Mario's overall Shine Sprite count. Which means that over half the Shine Sprites in the game serve no other purpose than collecting them for 100% Completion. | |

Easy Level Trick | |
| Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game) / int_8125d8f6 | comment |
Easy Level Trick: Episode 3 of Pianta Village, "The Great Goopy Inferno" has a possibly unintentional one of these. The whole town is submerged in a coating of burning ink, requiring Mario to navigate its mazelike underside without FLUDD. However, there is one opening into the town that Mario can sneak into — the oasis in the center, which also has a river leading to it from the outside that hasn't been covered in ink. By abusing the ink physics and splashing water in just the right way, Mario can clear a path to the building that FLUDD is on, allowing him to complete the mission without even entering the underside. Another method is to hop down from one of the tallest trees in the nearby area onto the building where FLUDD is located. | |

Mini-Boss: The game has Bowser Jr. in his Shadow Mario persona, fought in the seventh episode of every world; since the worlds' main bosses are always found and faced in prior episodes, this results in an inversion of the trope (especially as the event flag that unlocks the final stage lies in defeating Shadow Mario, not the main bosses). Other minibosses present in the game include the Polluted Piranha Plant (fought five times across Bianco Hills and Delfino Plaza), the Plungelos (in Gelato Beach) and Phantamanta (in Sirena Beach). | |

Night of the Living Mooks: Much of Sirena Beach revolves around Mario battling against ghostly enemies, which are attacking the local hotel and causing a huge inconvenience to the employees and the guests. The first opponent to appear is Phantamanta, a large ghostly manta ray that leaves a trace of electrified painting as it moves. After its defeat, the hotel is available for access, but the problems have only begun: Boos are invading the rooms and the attic during several episodes, a scheme planned by King Boo. A pink-colored type of Boo Block appears as well, which only turns into a solid block when Mario sprays water onto it. | |

Damn You, Muscle Memory! | |
| Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game) / int_963086ce | comment |
Damn You, Muscle Memory!: Mario can't long jump here, unlike in Super Mario 64. Compensated by FLUDD's hover nozzle. When you're climbing on a vertical chain link fence, you press the attack button (B on the GameCube, Y on the Switch) to go through gates. When you're hanging from a chain link ceiling, you press the jump button (A on the GameCube, B on Switch) with the attack button causing you to fall off. In the 3D All Stars version, the aiming/camera controls are no longer inverted by default, and must be switched in the camera controls to match the GameCube original. Button layouts have also changed for Switch controls, some to fit the typical thumb position of players (B is jump and Y is dive), others to match the lettering of the buttons proper (X is still used to change nozzles despite X being the highest-positioned of the face buttons rather than being on the right). A is used to talk to people despite it being the same button as dive in the original. In the original version, Mario would stop and spray water if you pressed R all the way down, but would move and shoot if the button was slightly pressed down. Since the Switch doesn't have analog shoulder buttons, this no longer applies in the 3D All-Stars version unless you use a GameCube controller through the adapter. Instead, you have to press either R or ZR, which can take some getting used to if you're familiar with the original. | |

Shotguns Are Just Better | |
| Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game) / int_96ecc67e | comment |
Shotguns Are Just Better: There's a special attack you can perform in midair (in midair, press the jump button while holding the squirt button) that sprays a bit of your water in a giant shotgun blast of water with huge coverage. If you're willing to spend all your water, it can clean huge areas and end Shadow Mario chase scenes in a hurry. With Yoshi, it's even more useful, since the juice meter seems to be based off time rather than usage, so the shotgun blasts can be done a lot more often with Yoshi than with FLUDD before needing to reload. | |

Muck Monster | |
| Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game) / int_9e37daa5 | comment |
Muck Monster: With the Green Aesop nature of the game, many of the monsters present either thrive on, cause or are made of Shadow Mario's goop. Glorpedoes, or simply "Igas", are jellyfish-like sentient blobs of goop that crawls out of piles of goop to attack mario, creating goop stains wherever they explode. The Pirahna Plants present in the game all prefer goop to water, the Proto Piranha/Gatekeepers growing a coelescence of brown and black goop and Petey Pirahna vomiting the stuff up before melting into it when he's defeated. Bloopers native to Isle Delfino, or "Gesso", spit an ink-like black goop. One of the missions in Ricco Harbor involves the harbor's water flooding with this black goop not unlike an oil-spill caused by Gooper Blooper. The Phantamanta that haunts Hotel Delfino's beach leaves a slimey trail of electrical goop, resulting in the hotel disappearing under it. | |

One-Hit Kill: Crashing into any wall or obstacle while blooper surfing will kill Mario on the spot, no matter how fast he was traveling. Getting crushed by the cubes in "The Secret of Casino Delfino" will kill Mario instantly. For whatever reason, touching the side of the moving platforms near the end of "The Secret of Casino Delfino" will instantly kill Mario despite the fact that there's nothing visually dangerous about them. Mario will die instantly if he touches the posion water in Delfino Plaza's lilypad level. The same also happens if he falls into the lava in Corona Mountain. | |

You Don't Look Like You: As aforementioned, most of the classic Mario enemies were replaced with substitutes in this game (Strollin' Stus replacing Goombas and Koopas only being present in the form of new varieties such as Electro-Koopas and Snooze-a-Koopas), but the classic enemies that did make it into Sunshine were heavily redesigned. Case in point: Bob-ombs with wind-up-toy feet and an LED display for a face◊ and some rather inebriated-looking Boos◊. Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros explains the designs (as well as Yoshi's weakness to water) as a side effect of the creatures being created by Bowser Jr.'s Graffiti. | |

Cypher Language | |
| Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game) / int_a80027b8 | comment |
Cypher Language: Sunshine uses a cyphered alphabet with a spiral-inspired motif, likely inspired by the shape of conch shells. Given this alphabet's rare usage—visible only in the Gelato Beach, Noki Bay, and Pinna Park regions of Isle Delfino—the cyphering for this alphabet was so strong, it took nearly 22 full years to decode. | |

Secret Level | |
| Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game) / int_aa5d87af | comment |
Secret Level: There are special obstacle courses within Delfino Plaza that are either hidden in plain sight or require a significant amount of effort to be entered. And save for the sliding course located close to Gelato Beach (which is more of a warm-up level that can also be accessed shortly after the game's prologue ends), these courses are also pretty difficult. | |

Unique Enemy | |
| Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game) / int_b0e18b32 | comment |
Unique Enemy: There's exactly one Chain Chomp in the game. It's encountered at Pianta Village during Episode 4, and Mario's objective is to calm it down. It's the stage's closest thing to a boss fight. There's only one group of Stackin' Stus in the game, being in Pinna Park. Defeating the large alpha nets a blue coin. Also in Pinna Park is a flying enemy called Swipin' Stu, which has the unique ability to steal Mario's cap right off his head. A group of them appear on the beach outside the park, but only in certain episodes. A walking variation of Swipin' Stu exists Dummied Out in the King Boo boss fight, but never appears in-game at all. | |

Hard Levels, Easy Bosses: The boss fights are largely simplistic, and not much of a challenge as a result. The normal levels tend to be much more difficult, as a number require doing tricky platforming or throw curveballs on what needs to be done to obtain the Shine Sprites. | |

Oxygen Meter | |

Oxygen Meter: As per the norm with 3D Mario games, Mario has one while swimming underwater. It's a lot less user-friendly compared to 64 or Galaxy onward, however; given how much shorter it is, how much more slow and awkward the swimming controls are, and the fact you immediately drown — regardless of your health — upon it running out. In Noki Bay, you do get a Fishbowl Helmet that lets you dive deeper and stay underwater a lot longer; which is an absolute godsend for the Eely Mouth boss battle in particular. | |

Once Mario cleans up the area and chases him down in Episode 7 of the level, Episode 8 is unlocked as a playable epilogue. After beating Shadow Mario in each level and winning the game, the player is given an updated Delfino Plaza. It now has new NPC dialogue and messages, and a boat back to the game's tutorial area, where an extra challenge and Blue Coin await, is accessible near the portal to Ricco Harbor. | |

Done regularly in the Spanish translation, with such level names as Petey Piranha strikes back!, Furious Wiggler ahoy!, Run thought the sand verus Il Piantissimo!, Three Chain Chomplets looses out! and Missión: rescue the mayor!! | |

That Makes Me Feel Angry: "It is dark... I feel fright." Possibly justified, as this is probably the only way FLUDD has of expressing any kind of emotion. | |

Wingding Eyes | |
| Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game) / int_c02925f0 | comment |
Wingding Eyes: Mario gets hearts in his eyes during the opening sequence while shown all the good food the island has to offer. Even when the plane crash-lands shortly after, he's still in a trance thinking about it. When the Angry Wiggler boss gets knocked over by a sand dune bud, it will gain spiralled eyes to show that it's in a daze... and accordingly, that you can attack it. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Docked at Ricco Harbor is a yellow submarine. Robert Fludd was a 16th century mystic and scientist with interest in perpetual motion machines involving pumps, and how blood is pumped. Il Piantissimo's face texture is a Palette Swap of the Running Man from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Phantamanta is a reference to the end of The Shining, in which a shadowy manta-like shape issues from the hotel as it burns, before fragmenting and vanishing. The boss battle occurs near a hotel, like in that novel. Mario occasionally utters "The horror..." when he dies. Mecha-Bowser is an obvious reference to Mechagodzilla, but takes it a step further by his intro music taking beats from the song that played when the original Mechagodzilla revealed itself. Episode 2 of Ricco Harbor is called "Blooper Surfing Safari". | |

This Looks Like a Job for Aquaman: Yoshi can create platforms by spraying juice at enemies, and they travel horizontally or vertically depending on what fruit it ate. This is for the most part, a pointless ability that could easily be mistaken as a weird visual effect, except it's necessary to complete "Yoshi's Fruit Adventure" in Ricco Harbor. The arbitrary way it was implemented comes off as the developers designing Yoshi around the level rather than the other way around. | |

It becomes an Amusement Park of Doom due to Shadow Mario sabotaging the attractions (and also hiding a Humongous Mecha called Mecha-Bowser); even the coastal perimeter is dangerous due to Monty Mole and the Snooza Koopas) | |

Developer's Foresight | |
| Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game) / int_d24ed873 | comment |
Developer's Foresight: Flooded Delfino Plaza has a separate location for the 100-coin shine (atop the Pianta Statue). This is despite the fact that it's impossible to reach 100 coins in the flooded plaza without exploits. In Episode 1 of Bianco Hills, the player can ignore the first Shine Sprite and go straight to Petey Piranha atop the windmill. The developers knew this would be possible; the Pianta at the windmill has completely different dialogue if spoken to in Episode 1, lampshading the Sequence Break: | |

Schmuck Bait: In Noki Bay, there is a lone 1-Up standing at a nearby wall for an easy pickup. Attempting to grab it causes a punching glove to pop out from the wall and send Mario flying a few feet. If you reach the end of the poison canal lily pad ride without all the red coins, there's a warp pipe which you would think takes you back to the beginning of the level so you can try again. WRONG! It deposits you all the way back in Delfino Plaza... which means you have to do the long, tedious boat ride with Yoshi all over again just to get back to it. By contrast, if you just kill yourself, you can restart at the beginning of the lily pad course. Alternatively, you can attempt to do a balancing act on the sides of the course and use the Hover Nozzle to grab any missed coins, but this is a dangerous method to use if you're not careful. | |

Tourism-Derailing Event | |
| Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game) / int_d4f087b1 | comment |
Tourism-Derailing Event: Isle Delfino thrives thanks to its touristic businesses (an Amusement Park, a four-star hotel, an extensive beach hosting fruit festivals and an ancient bird egg, etc.), which is why they take issue when Shadow Mario (who is, in fact, a debuting Bowser Jr.) begins polluting it with the paint that comes out of his magical paintbrush, as it renders the island unsafe for both visitors and inhabitants. And because the perpetrator has a likeness of Mario, the local policemen arrest the latter, thinking erroneously he's the culprit and force him to clean up the mess. Interestingly, the trope is zigzagged with Pinna Park: It was running low on visitors before Shadow Mario's evil actions, and his summoning of Mecha-Bowser to challenge Mario in battle gives publicity to the park (as the owner thinks mistakenly that the whole incident is staged); however, the misfortunes that occur with the other attractions in later episodes do play the trope straight. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
| Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: You get to keep the same number of lives the last time you played the game, provided you saved beforehand. This is a departure from Super Mario 64 and the eventual Super Mario Galaxy, where you start with 4 lives regardless of how many lives you accrued the last time you played. Each secret level has at least one extra life by the beginning; if you know where they are, it's unlikely you'll get a Game Over. While the Phantamanta would otherwise be a tough opponent, the fact that its divided forms suddenly become aggressive and will actively chase Mario once they've been reduced to their smallest prevents the hassle of having to chase them down all over Sirena Beach. It's basically a signal for Mario to go on the defensive and find an ideal place to fight them, Serious Sam style (hint: where the Hotel normally would be). | |

Asimov's Three Kinds of Science Fiction: The game falls under Adventure. Whatever unexplained technology Bowser Jr. employs to disguise himself as a water-textured Mario (with occasional red eyes) is what causes the conflict — Mario is accused of and falsely punished for vandalizing Isle Delfino. And it's the water Backpack Cannon F.L.U.D.D. that solves the problem. The video game's plot is first about proving Mario's innocence then defeating the ones responsible and finally just exploring Isle Delfine at one's leisure. | |

Battle Theme Music | |
| Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game) / int_e08fcc99 | comment |
Battle Theme Music: The game improves upon its predecessor Super Mario 64 (which only had three boss themes, and two of them were for Bowser) by having a general music theme for regular bosses, a theme for regular minibosses, a dedicated theme for Climax Boss Mecha Bowser, a Boss Remix of the classic Underground theme of the original Super Mario Bros. for Shadow Mario, and a suspenseful drum-and-piano track for Bowser in the final battle. | |

World of Jerkass | |
| Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game) / int_e2f13529 | comment |
World of Jerkass: Isle Delfino is not a pleasant place for Mario and Peach to spend their vacation. Mario is convicted of a crime he didn't commit by a Kangaroo Court run by the Piantas despite having a slew of witnesses who can attest to his innocence, the police threaten and intimidate him even when he carries out his sentence peacefully, many of the residents are apathetic to the island's danger and withhold Shine Sprites until Mario either carries out tasks for (or pays) them, and some of the Piantas will just flat-out chuck Mario into oblivion for no reason if he tries talking to them. Even when Peach is later kidnapped in broad daylight by Shadow Mario, the police don't lift a finger to help, Mario is still blamed for everything else, and the news station snarks at the situation instead of taking it seriously. | |

Wolfpack Boss: The Plungelos are Cataquack-like creatures who cheerfully walk over the tilting mirrors located in Gelato Beach in Episode 2. Problem is, the Sand Bird needs the sunlight reflected by the mirrors to hatch from its egg, so Mario has to defeat the Plungelos: One in the first mirror, two in the second and three in the third, for a total of six. The reward is a Shine Sprite, but there's an additional side effect: The restored sunlight reflections wakes up the giant Wiggler who was sleeping at the top of the tower securing the Sand Bird's egg, which leads to a full-fledged boss battle between it and Mario in Episode 3. | |

Green Hill Zone: Bianco Hills. The first proper stage of the game with basic level layout and the basic brown goo type. It is inhabited by Piantas, but it has a small mountain village, a huge windmill and a large pond present as well. Several tightropes are present, allowing Mario to maneuver them and reach higher places. The two caves found in the borders of the lake lead to special obstacle courses. | |

A Truce While We Gawk: This happens in the Boss Cutscene for the second mission of Bianco Hills ("Down With Petey Piranha!") just before the boss battle with the titular giant piranha plant. Mario climbs to the roof of a windmill, where Petey Piranha is polluting the surrounding area with goop. Petey roars a Mighty Roar at Mario, setting the stage for a boss battle... only for the roof to promptly crack beneath their combined weight. The two suddenly look down, then slowly share a worried glance with each other before the roof collapses beneath them. The actual fight takes place inside the windmill itself. | |

Oddball in the Series: Even in a series as bizarre as this, Sunshine stands out as one of the weirdest. Instead of power-ups, Mario has a talking water jetpack named FLUDD. Instead of the Mushroom Kingdom, a land full of friendly, helpful Toads and diverse biomes, Sunshine takes place on Isle Delfino, a fully tropical setting where the inhabitants blame Mario for something he didn't do, refuse to help him, and are generally just massive jerks to him for no reason. Sure, Peach ends up being kidnapped and Bowser shows up at the end, but the game's real Big Bad is Bowser Jr., whose plan involves framing Mario and having him sent to prison in order to keep Peach as an adoptive mother. | |

Mutually Exclusive Power-Ups: Besides the always-accessible Spray Nozzle, there are 3 secondary nozzles for FLUDD (Hover, Turbo, and Rocket) that Mario can equip. These nozzles cannot be on Mario's person at the same time, and if Mario gets a new one, it will replace the old one. FLUDD cannot be used when riding Yoshi. While Yoshi can spit juice to functionally substitute for the Spray Nozzle, none of his other abilities replicate the other three nozzles. In exchange, however, Yoshi's juice meter is on a timer rather than based off consumption, so it can be used quite a bit in a short amount of time without needing to recharge. | |

Railroading | |
| Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game) / int_f6f6adeb | comment |
Railroading: In stark contrast to Super Mario 64, Sunshine is much more linear and restrictive in gameplay, since you can typically only get one Shine at a time due to how each mission sets up the levels, and there are scripted story events in levels like Delfino Plaza and Pinna Park — the Shadow Mario objective in each world has to be completed before Corona Mountain opens up, so sequence breaking gets you nowhere in this game from the get-go, since you have to travel to each world in the first place. The upside is that you can reach the final level with as little as 50 Shines. | |

Video Game Cruelty Potential | |
| Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game) / int_f87c42d4 | comment |
Video Game Cruelty Potential: You can have Mario be quite the bastard if you choose. You can run around Delfino Plaza stealing fruit from the vendors or messing up their displays, or simply go around dousing NPCs with water and jumping on characters who don't need to be cleaned. They get upset, but they don't do anything to you. On the other hand, this is a surprisingly satisfying way to deal with characters who are rude to you. Jumping on them also yields a lot of momentum. Additionally, you can throw fruit (and kick durians) at NPCs, who react in pain the same way as being sprayed. You can drown Yoshi, as he's weak against water in this game. You can use a body slide to actually spread the graffiti and swallow up some of the NPCs, or lure those cute little bubble creatures that come out of the goop to spread the stuff to clean areas (avoid them as they jump on you or it won't work). Go restart the game and have fun with it in Delfino Plaza, or go to the second Petey Piranha mission in Bianco Hills. Lots of potential at those spots. | |

Sequence Breaking | |
| Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game) / int_fb111d49 | comment |
Sequence Breaking: Unlocking Yoshi is supposed to be mandatory to beat the game, as a number of Episodes require using him in some fashion and he's needed to give access to Sirena Beach (via eating the pineapple blocking the warp pipe). Abusing glitches and wall clips means that he can be completely avoided, plus this allows for completing levels out of their intended order. The warp pipe to Pianta Village is on top of the Shine Gate, which normally requires the Rocket Nozzle (acquired for use in Delfino Plaza a good chunk into the game) to access due to how tall it is. It's possible to scale the Gate without it by doing some mildly difficult platforming. Only the first four Shines can be completed without Yoshi, however, unless you manage to clip into the entrance to the secret level in Episode 5 by going out of bounds, in which case the other Episodes can be completed as well. You can get the second Shine Sprite in Bianco Hills without obtaining the first one by going straight to Petey Piranha at to the top of the windmill during Episode 1. This gets lampshaded by an NPC at the windmill if you talk to him, as he wonders what you're doing there. It's possible get the Episode 8 Shine Sprite of Gelato Beach at any time by doing a somewhat tricky wall clip. Getting it makes all previous Episodes available and allows you to jump straight to Episode 7, the only one of that level that's mandatory to beat the game. The intended way to do "The Runaway Ferris Wheel" is to climb a series of grates below the ferris wheel. It's possible to use the Hover Nozzle to simply fly over to the platform with the objective from a platform above the pound because the fast-spinning Ferris Wheel (unlike the slower version you normally encounter) has no collision box. The intended way to do "The Goopy Inferno" is to go through a specific path in the underside of Pianta Village to reach the location FLUDD is at. This can all be bypassed by climbing up the giant tree to the left of the village entrance and jumping off from one of the branches, which is hanging just above the spot you need to go to. | |

You Shouldn't Know This Already: Even if you know the trick for opening up the western ruins in Noki Bay, you will never be able to do so in Episode 1... because Mario doesn't "learn" how to do it until Episode 2. This applies even if you come back to Episode 1 after completing Episode 2. | |

Portal Endpoint Resemblance | |
| Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game) / int_fcf4a4bb | comment |
Portal Endpoint Resemblance: The multi-colored M portal that takes Mario to the second world, Ricco Harbor, is placed in the wall of the Shine Sprite shop, which is itself a harbor. And the portal that takes him to Gelato Beach is located in a lighthouse facing east, in the beach of Delfino Plaza. | |

Non-Malicious Monster | |
| Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game) / int_fd1b902c | comment |
Non-Malicious Monster: Eely-Mouth is hardly evil, but its incredibly dirty teeth are heavily polluting Noki Bay. As the beast retreats into the ocean depths, it gladly relinquishes a Shine Sprite as thanks for the dental work it receives. | |

Ridiculously Cute Critter: The sunflowers with eyes that only have bright looks and warm greetings for Mario unless something is actively trying to kill them. They are also the only characters that consistently answer in a positive way to being sprayed with water. | |

Brick Joke: In the cutscene at the beginning, we see Toadsworth fantasizing about riding the Roller Coaster at Pinna Park. At the end of the game, we see pictures of everyone enjoying their vacation, including one of Toadsworth finally riding the roller coaster. | |

Buffy Speak: On the airstrip at the beginning, after the Shine Sprite appears, one of the Toads says "A shiny! It came out of the yucky!" | |

Racing Minigame: The three races with Il Piantissimo, and two separate missions in Ricco Harbor where you have to ride a Gooper Blooper around as if it were a jetski and beat a certain time whilst doing some sort of task (the first level has you navigate an obstacle course, and the second has you collecting red coins). | |

Shown Their Work: In Gelato Beach, a female Pianta warns her kid not to go out to the coral reef because it's dangerous. Indeed, people who have touched coral reefs have been known to get painful lacerations; some corals are even poisonous. | |
