In his past adventures, he has always have to go after the princess, Peach, and save her from Bowser. Whoa? No Bowser this time! But Mario's goal is to clean the whole island, what to clean? the paint and sludge you see scattered around the island and save Peach, of course. -Peach The Princess of Mushroom Kingdom, when is she going to ever stay out of trouble and be a loyal princess for once?

High above, seagulls turn lazy circles in a clear blue sky. This is Isle Delfino Far from the hustle and bustle of the Mushroom Kingdom, this island resort glitters like a gem in the waters of a southern sea. Mario, Peach, and an entourage of Toads have come to Isle Delfino to relax and unwind. At least, that's their plan...but when they arrive, they find things have gone horribly wrong... According to the island inhabitants, the person responsible for the mess has a round nose, a thick mustache, and a cap... What? But...that sounds like Mario!? The islanders are saying that Mario's mess has polluted the island and caused their energy source, the Shine Sprites, to vanish. Now the falsely accused Mario has promised to clean up the island, but...how? Never fear! FLUDD, the latest invention from Gadd Science, Inc., can help Mario tidy up the island, take on baddies, and lend a nozzle in all kinds of sticky situations.

Inside the plane are Mario, Peach and Toadsworth, they are all watching the radar and it shows an island shaped of a dolphin, and a special "commercial" shows islanders welcoming you to Isle Delfino, in the background, you will see a dark figure of a person jumping around. Peach gasps and looks over at Mario, but she sees that Mario is dreaming about food, then she looks over at Toadsworth and he is also dreaming, but about resting on the beach, then she shook her head. The plane lands too hard on the airstrip and Peach sees a figure of what to be look like Mario himself in the heat, then she blinks and sees if its a mirage or not, the figure disappears. Toadsworth will ask you to look around and Peach tells you to be careful. For the first time, you get to control Mario now! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Delfino Airstrip (0.1.4) Go around and talk to the Toads if you want, but they don't say much, talk to the pink islander here and her friend is trapped in the goopy smudge, you need to save her friend! Continue up ahead and look behind the yellow islander, you will find a FLUDD (Flash Liquidizing Ultra Dousing Device) that you will carry on your back for the whole game, you use this to spray any goop, or smudge, or paint, or whatever you call them and you can kill enemies as well. Right in front of you is a letter M on each of the two blocks, test the FLUDD machine and spray water on the M's to clear it up. Go back to where the large goopy pool is and squirt some water in the middle of the pool and a Piranha Plant, covered in goop, emerged from the pool. It won't do much, so, don't worry about a thing and spray water at it from a distance, you can damage it a lot more if you spray it when the mouth is open. After that, you can help clean the islander that was stuck in the goop if you want, grab your first Shine Sprite here. After you pick it up, two policemen will come to you, then the next thing you know is you are in court and you are being charged for polluting the island. The next scene shows that you are being held in jail and FLUDD will talk to you about Shine Sprites and their power on this island. What is your punishment? clean up the whole island, the WHOLE island of Isle Delfino. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Delfino Plaza (0.2.4) Tourists get off the ferries here, in Isle Delfino's largest city. Attractions include the Shine Gate and Grand Pianta Statue. -Delfino Plaza Your are ordered to go to Bianco Sqaure and clean up the mess. You can buy fruits here if you have enough coins if you want. Continue ahead and you will meet up with Toadsworth and Peach. Behidn them is a building, inside you will see a blue coin, go behind the building to the right behind Peach and switch to a Hover Nozzle and float yourself to the little hole, walk in and collect your first Blue Coin! If you collect ten of these, visit the boathouse in Delfino Plaza. You will see a pool of brown and white smudge up ahead, clean up the smudge, a bubble look-a-like enemy will show up from various places and it will get ready to pounce on you when it turns white. You can kill them by squirting water at them. Squirt water in the middle of the pool and another Piranha Plant will appear, do the same strategy you did with the first Piranha Plant you killed earlier. A scene will start after that, Toadsworth will tell Peach to look atop the statue. You will see Shadow Mario standing on the top of the statue, then he will jumps down and capture Peach, you have to go rescue her now! Run after Shadow Mario and slightly press the R button to squirt water while running at the same time, you know you hit him when he turns red, continue doing this until he fall. He tells you that the device you have is not fair, then he will be on the run again, continue to chase him until he stop at the statue and paint the letter M on one side and jump through it, go after him. 100 Coins Shine - There are at least 82 coins in both underground passageways, spray at the wanted Mario poster to get a coin, smash open crates, spray water at any OPEN window you see and there are 6 out in the ocean. -* Break the Crates in 30 seconds In Delfino Plaza, inside one of the shops on the land across the pond is a little mini-game where you have to break at least 10 crates in 30 seconds to get a Shine. -* Break the Crates in 30 Seconds (Part 2) In the same place, but the crates are stacked up instead of next to each other, double jump for the double-stackec crates and back somersault for the triple-stacked crates. I do not have a good strategy, but I jumped on the double-stacked crates and then jump on the triple-stacked and break all of them down and do the same for the other triple-stacked set and then do the final two double-stacked crates. -* Shine in the Tower Get a coin, you can get one by spraying water at any sketch photo of Mario you see on the wall, then go across the pond and get on the roof. On one of the roof is an islander, he will toss you if you pay him a coin, do so. He will swing you to that tower with the Shine inside. -* Shine the Bell This Shine took me a while to get it. Stand in front of the hut where you exchange the Blue Coins, look up and to the right, you will see a tall bell tower, across from it is a building with a flag on it. Get on the flat-roof next to the building with the flag on it and perform a triple jump while on it and once Mario reach the highest peak of that triple jump, start hovering and go toward the flag. Once you are on the roof, hover from there to the bell tower, wash the slime off the bell with your FLUDD. The Shine will appear in the cage below the bell tower and you have to use one of the underground passageway to get to it, the closest one is the manhole on the top of the building in front of the hut where you exchange the blue coins. -* Pinball Game Get on the ferry that is in the pond area and once it take you to the tunnel where the entrace/exit is, you will see a coin underneath the tunnel and a hole leading up. Once you reach that spot, jump and start hovering and you will be taken into a mini-game of Pinball! There are 8 Red Coins in this obstacle course and to send yourself in the course, Ground Pound on the red square and you'll be sent flying and you will have to control yourself to where you want to go. Once you get all 8 Red Coins, the Shine will appear in the middle section of the obstacle course. -* Sliding Game From where you first start in Delfino Plaza, where the policemen dropped you off at, turn left to the beach and you will see several platforms in the water and a green pipe on the tallest one, jump or hover from platform to platform until you reach the tallest platform, jump in the pipe to start a sliding game, all you have to do is slide and only jump when you see a gap and slow down when you reach the skinny slide toward the end. -* Shiny Bird! There is an island with a Pianta on it and a fire going on, flying around the tree is a golden parrot or bird. The best way to get this Shine is to climb up on the tree and look around for that golden bird, then start squirting water at it until it drops a Shine, but you have to travel far to get this Shine though. -* What's Under the Sand? Go to the beach close to the lighthouse, turn left and see that red building? (not the one with the green shutters, the one to the left of that) now, see that gray brick that divided the house in half? the artwork of a Shine is beneath the sand, keep spraying water until you clean the artwork very good and a Shine will appear. -* Shine in the House! There is a Shine in the house to the left of the Grand Pianta Statue. Correct me if I'm wrong but Shadow Mario will appear with a nozzle in his hand after when you get 40 Shines. Another chasing game! But Shadow Mario seems to be running even further distance now and you have to chase him from roof to roof while squirting water at him. Whenever he falls, he will give up the Turbo Nozzle! Try using it to bash in through the swinging doors in the house to the left of the Grand Pianta Statue. -* Atop the Bell Tower! There is another bell tower in the plaza, if you stand facing the Grand Pianta Staute, look to the right and up in the air, you will see a bell tower. When you get the Rocket Nozzle, get on the building with the bell tower on it and launch yourself up there. Shine the bell really good until a Shine appear, but how in the world are you going to get up there? Drop down on the ledge below the bell tower and charge the rocket to get on the roof, finally, get on the highest point of the roof and charge the rocket up again. -* Clean the Shine Sprite! Once you have the Rocket nozzle in Delfino Plaza, head over to the Shine Sprite tower and launch yourself on top of it and then get on the ledge where the large Shine Sprite is. Squirt water at it with FLUDD and wash the smudge off really good until a Shine appear. You will have to use the rocket nozzle to get this Shine by the way. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bianco Hills (0.3.4) This lush community of villas is located at the foot of Corona Mountain. Its famous windmills spin peacefully in the gentle sea breezes. Secret Shine #1 - Head back in Episode 3 again, head into the Hillside Cave and you'll be taken into an obstacle course, there is a red switch on the first platform and once you Ground Pound on it, you'll have to collect 8 red coins in a minute. Secret Shine #2 - Go in Episode 6 and grab the turbo nozzle before going into the cave, Ground Pound onto the red switch and you have to collect 8 red coins within 1 min and 30 seconds. -* Road to the Big Windmill (Episode 1) Go up ahead on the road and get on the rope and walk on it to the other side. Drop down on the lower ground and go straight for the spinning wheel, jump up on the ledge to the left of it and get on one of the fans of the wheel to reach the other side. Clean up all of the paint here, a wall will rise, some trees will grow. Watch out for some enemies lurking in the paint and watch out for the rolling mud. Head to where the rolling ball of mud come from and you will see a pit, squirt some water in there and a Piranha Plant will rise, kill it with your weed spray and you will get your first Shine here. -* Down with Petey Piranha (Episode 2) At the beginning, you will see a Piranha Plant sitting on top of a tall structure, I believe its name is Petey. Run up ahead and walk across the rope, you don't have to use the spinning wheel anymore, turn right up ahead and clean up all of the smudge here but Petey will throw some mudball at you. Go up to the bridge and hover over it and clear up the road of smudge and dodge the rolling mudball until you reach the top. You can easily hover across the first two gaps, the third gap, you have to jump out to the right far enough for you to hover yourself around the vines to the next ledge with an islander and a gondola, there is also another one of those "M" graffiti on the wall. Get on the gondola and jump on the platform with Petey on it. The platform will begin to crack and break, making Petey and you fall to the bottom of the building. Whenever Petey opens its mouth, start spraying water in it and Petey's body will fill up and he will fall on his back, and an arrow will appear pointing on its belly. Jump on the belly and perform a Ground Pound (A + L) on his belly to damage him. Do this two more time and you will get your second Shine. -* The Hillside Cave Secret (Episode 3) Go back to the same area, but this time, you have to use the rope and platforms that are standing in the pond. Take your time from rope to rope and watch out for the electrical object on the last rope. Get on the platform and hover over to the ledge and run towards to where you see a sign with an arrow pointing up, perform a jump here to get on the rope and enter the cave. This is sort of like a little mini-game in the cave, take your time from block to block, passing the large moving blocks, jumping from spinning star to spinning star, and at the end, grab your third Shine for this level. -* Red Coins of Windmill Village (Episode 4) The first 8 coins are easy to get, when you get on the first rope, jump higher on the rope above you, you will see red coins scattered everywhere, grab the first 8 red coins you can get. Get on the rope with the red electrical ball on it, jump over it and you will see a coin on one of the structures with sails on it, hover over to it and grab the red coin in the air. Hover over to the next structure and you will see a red coin on top of a building, jump over to it and then jump again to grab the tenth and final coin and a Shine will appear. Get on the rope and jump over the red electrical ball whenever it gets close to you. Grab your fourth shine at the end. -* Petey Piranha Strikes Back (Episode 5) Go to where you got the 10th red coin at and get on the rope to the hillside in the back, jump from ledge to ledge until you reach the top. An islander is trapped in the smudge in this area, save him and go towards the very far back until you see Petey. One of those pink FLUDD-sucking creature will latch onto the nozzle of your FLUDD and this will wake Petey up and guess what! Petey can fly!! Spray water at him to knock him down and spray some in his mouth and stomp on his belly. He will fly again and go to a new location, spray him down and do the same belly pounding process. The fifth Shine will appear after the smudge dissolves. -* The Secret of the Dirty Lake (Episode 6) Go to the tower where Petey's first location was, go up halfway and you will see a cave with polluted water pouring out. Jump and then hover over to the cave and you will be in another one of those obstacle course. You may have trouble on the rotating blocks, but the rest are easy to get through. Grab the 6th shine at the end of this course. -* Shadow Mario on the Loose (Episode 7) Easy-to-get Shine here, all you have to do is chase Shadow Mario around while spraying water on him. Slightly press the R button to start spraying and run after him, sometimes he will do the wall jump, but he will always be on the ground, unless you caught him on a building somewhere. You will know that you hit him when he turns red. Whenever he fall and give up, grab your 7th shine. -* The Red Coins of the Lake (Episode 8) Red Coins are scattered everywhere in the lake, and you have to collect 8 of them. Have the islander with the mustache toss you up in the air to get on one of the palm trees, up ahead is a red coin sitting in the air, above the rope, you have to jump to get it. 2 more are by going underneath the bridge, you have to hover yourself to the one sitting above the 4 gold coins. Get up the hill to where the cave is. Get on the rope and get on the structure, hover yourself down to the lower structure and get on the rope from there, you can get the Rocket Nozzle here if you want, it will help. Get the 4th red coin on the rope. On the next rope up ahead, watch out for the red electrocuting ball on the rope, jump over each one until you reach the 5th red coin at the end and then get on the structure, quickly leave the structure and get on the rope to the left, because of the wind enemy, look around and you will see the 6th and 7th red coins which you can easily get. Hover yourself over to the farthest structure and get on the rope to get your 8th and final red coin and a Shine will appear in the windmill, hover yourself over to the alcove and grab your 8th shine for this level. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gelato Beach (0.4.4) The isle's largest beach sprawls under perfect blue skies. Have a swim, enjoy a famous smoothie, and bask in the glow of the Shine Tower. Secret Shine #1 - Go to the Sand Bud that is behind the bird nest tower, water the Sand Bud and a formation of stairs will descend and you will see a row of coins, as soon as the stairs form, spray at the wall and you will see an art of a Shine, quickly wash off the sand before it returns to a bud. Secret Shine #2 - Go back in Episode 1 again after you complete it, Ground Pound on the red switch and you'll have to collect 8 red coins within a minute in this obstacle course. -* Dune Bud Sand Castle Secret (Episode 1) The scene will show a little stem scattered around on the beach and this gives you a little hint. Go to the beach and try watering the plant and a formation of a sand will appear, and if you water another, a different formation will appear, some will sink. Go to where you see a boat on the edge of the beach and there is a plant nearby, water that plant and a formation of a sandcastle will appear, but you have a limited time, run through the sandcastle, and yet, you will be in another one of those obstacle course. This is pretty much of a straight course, just run and don't stop, why? because if you stand on one of the many sand blocks too long, the block will dissolve. At the end, well....you know what to do, quickly jump from block to block until you get the first Shine at the top of the sand sculpture. -* Mirror Madness! Tilt, Slam, Bam! (Episode 2) A Pianta will tell you to look at the top of the tower, you will see a caterpillar called Wiggler, unless it has a different name in this game, and three mirrors around the tower. Also, the Pianta tells you that this Wiggler sitting on the top of the tower could endanger the legendary Sand Bird egg. To get up there, you can water the plant in front of the beachhouse and get yourself on the roof and hover from tree to tree until you reach the first mirror with a Plungelo on it, squirt at him and the mirror will tilt, you have to get on the high side and perform a ground pound, this will send the Plungelo off, do the same for the other two mirrors, but it has more Plugelos on it, take your time on each one until you get all of them off the mirrors. Grab the 2nd star on the beach where the sandcastle used to be. -* Wiggler Ahoy! Full Steam Ahead! (Episode 3) Whoa, this Wiggler is a lot larger than I thought, and even more uglier. Anyway, there was a reason why those Sand Buds are in the sand. Whenever Wiggler is nearby, water the bud and it will form into a sand formation and this will knock Wiggler upside down, while he is on his back (or her?), you will see an arrow pointing downward on his underside, get on its underside and Ground Pound on where the arrow is pointing to damage Wiggler. After Wiggler turns over, he will run around more faster, for this part, water the same Sand Bud and Ground Pound on him, and for the third time, spray water at the Sand Bud in front of the house or on the little island where you see a little Noki. After you perform your third Ground Pound on him, Wiggler will dissolve and then your third Shine will appear, grab it. -* The Sand Bird is Born (Episode 4) The egg in the tower has hatched! but no bird? Get on the mirror to the right of the tower or where the three Plungelos was before you completed Episode 3, then get on the high side and hover yourself to the hill behind it and follow the path to the very top of the hill and guess what? You have to get 8 coins on a bird that is made of sand blocks. Don't worry, the blocks doesn't dissolve, run around and get all of the 7 coins on the bird quickly before it begins to turn, when it does, get on the neck part of the bird, because it barely move and you'll be safer there. Wait a while and while you are facing the bird's head, look out towards the left wing and you will see a tower with the final red coin on it, jump on that tower and grab the last red coin and your 4th Shine after that. -* II Piantissimo's Sand Sprint (Episode 5) Get on the beach and you will see a purple Pianta, but it look more of a costume as you can tell, who is this II Piantissimo? He will challenge you to a race, a scene will show a flag at the top of the hill, that is your destination. You can try jumping from tree to tree then get on the mirror and hover yourself on the hill and run up the hill, but you won't get near the time of 35:00, you would probably get around 35:20 that way. There is a quicker way, and its sort of cheating, but hey! it beat the time! Run behind the house and back somersault onto the ledge with the mirror on it and follow II Piantissimo to the narrow passage where he perform the wall jump, do the same but II Piantissimo take the path, and you can cheat by cutting across the steep hill and get to the flag before he does. -* Red Coins in the Coral Reef (Episode 6) Go left and run along the beach, you will see a coral reef up ahead. Your goal here is to collect all 8 Red Coins, some coins are wide open and easy to get, some are in a school of fishes and some are hidden in the coral. Watch out for the Gooper that is swimming around. The Shine will appear on top of the rock, jump up to grab it. -* It's Shadow Mario! After Him! (Episode 7) Chase after him while squirting your water gun at him, he will probably hang around where the base of the bird tower is and sometimes does the wall jump in the narrow passage to reach the hill where the slide is. Grab the shine whenever he give up. -* The Watermelon Festival (Episode 8) There is a Watermelon Festival going on right now. Go to the beach house on the far shore where all the watermelon are, to win the prize, you have to have the biggest watermelon. There are watermelons on the lower ground, but they aren't big enough, the biggest of them all is sitting on top of the hill where the flag is, and you have to roll it down the hill and roll it to the beach. The trouble is...there are too many enemies and if the watermelon hit one, it will pop. To kill those enemies, you have to lure them to one of the Sand Buds and then stung the enemy first, then water the Sand Bud then a formation of a sand will send the enemy flying and kill them, once you kill all of the enemies (a lot), start rolling the watermelon downhill and roll it slowly across the boardwalk to the host. Grab the shine and have a big glass of Watermelon Smoothie for celebration. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ricco Harbor (0.5.4) Isle Delfino's port city is home to boats of all sizes and a thriving tourist trade. The fish market has the freshest seafood for miles around. 100 Coins Shine - There are at least 37 coins in the manhole, 4 in the fountain, 7 on the ship, 7 out in the sea, and I lost count on how many are up on the beams. There is at least 4 or 5 on the edge of the beam, which you have to drop down into the sea. 7/8 more above the lighthouse, use the rocket nozzle here. Secret Shine #1 - Complete Episode 2 first, then head back into the cave to be in another race, but you have to complete the lap in 40 seconds or under to win this Shine.

Watch the scene and a large mechanic Bowser will rise from underwater with Shadow Mario on it. This Mecha Bowser blows fire from its mouth and shoots missile from its chest. A Noki will talk to you and put you in a roller coaster. Now, this is sort of a toughy, while on the roller coaster, collect the missile on the way and watch out for Bullet Bill, if one is coming at you shoot water at it to kill it. When you get close to Mecha Bowser, shoot a missile in its mouth and it will take some damage for that, watch out for Bullet Bill from both ways and you CAN shoot water in Mecha Bowser's mouth to stop the fire-blowing. After you hit Mecha Bowser 3 more times, the machine's head was all that left and the battle ended then. The head opens up and you will see Peach and Shadow Mario, Shadow Mario jumps out and removed the mask and its....huh? Baby Bowser? Mama Peach?

This course is a little more difficult, you see different blocks disappearing and reappearing and you get the idea that you have to run over it quickly before the block that you are on disappear! The next set has 4 trampoline-like platforms which you have to bounce your way up to the top.

There are several on the cage high above the ship, you have to get on the second ship and wait until it reaches it highest point or so and hover from there to the cage above. Grab the Red Coin on the higher cage up above, you can get that one by performing a back somersault. There is a box-like cage up there and you have to hover around it to be able to get on the ramp at the top. Another red coin is at the very top of that ramp. You will see a red coin straight across, but you have to be on that beam below where the cage with the blue coin inside is.

The big Koopa in front of the big sunflower takes two Ground Pound. -* The Runaway Ferris Wheel (Episode 5) Go to the Ferris Wheel and get behind it, you will see a lot of puzzle here, and its sort of frustrating. I like the set up though. There is no time limit or anything here, so, take your time. The hard way is up through all those cages and everything, the easy way is get on the pirate ship, then get on that ramp where you got the Shine in Episode 3 and hover yourself over there.

The head over to the missing Yoshi on the merry-go-round. Oh great! Another obstacle course! The first set is easy to run across and then jump on the platform.

Keep doing this method and you will beat out II Piantissimo, your reward will be a Shine. -* The Goopy Inferno (Episode 3) You will go through this episode without FLUDD. Start by going right under the tree, then jump over the small creek and through the yellow fungi until you see a Pianta standing next to a hole, talk to him and he will tell you that the hole will lead you to the mayor.

Go right and you will see a giant Chain Chomp covered in lava. Take one of the water barrels and throw it at the Chain Chomp, it will turn black, grab the tail end and drag it to the pool in the back of this level. Whenever the Chain Chomp turns red again, just spray water at it with FLUDD until it turns black again, grab the tail end and keep dragging it until you get it in the pool. The Shine will appears above the now golden Chain Chomp. -* Secret of the Village Underside (Episode 5) Go across the bridge and you will see a Yoshi egg at the end of the bridge, to make Yoshi hatch, you have to get him a specific type of fruit. You can find it fruit on the fruit tree which is located on the platform close to the pond. Bring it back to Yoshi and then he will hatch. Take Yoshi and go across the bridge, you will see a row of coin leading downward, go to sky view and you will see a giant mushroom which you can land on below. From the brown mushroom, jump from mushroom to mushroom until you see a platform with some yellow sludge on it, spray Yoshi's juice on it to dissolve it and then jump down in the hole. You will end up in an obstacle course full of Pianta called chucksters. They will toss Mario across the gap, but all of them doesn't throw you ACROSS, some throw you backward, some toss you off the side, so, be careful. Go to the pink chuckster and have him throw you across the gap. Go to the big chuckster and make sure he is on the opposite edge of where the gap is so you don't go OVER the next platform. The next guy will throw you high, make sure you are facing the platform above before you talk to him into throwing you up there. Once you land on the platform above, have the guy chuck you across the gap to the next platform. The next platform has a chuckster walking around, wait on the left side of the platform while facing towards the platform to the left, wait for the chuckster to come by and then talk to him, he will chuck you across the long gap and onto the last platform, grab the Shine at the end. -* Piantas in Need (Episode 6) The mayor will tell you that some villagers are trapped in burning ooze, and there are 10 of them in the village. You are given 3 minutes to save 10 villagers. Hurry! The first four is right in front of you after you get across the bridge, turn north and you will see another pool of ooze behind a mushroom. Continue north on the road and you will see another pool of ooze, wash off the villager very good as well. From here, go pass the pond while going west and you will see another ooze. There is another ooze up on the hill from here, this is the 8th one so far. The 9th one is up the hill and head west. The last one is on the lower hill towards the east side of the village.

But this time, Shadow Mario will leave a trail of burning ooze as he runs, sometimes he will paint his signature, the M's, just keep running after him while squirting water at him and the ooze. The wind enemy will get involved in this, so watch out for them too. Whenever you tackle Shadow Mario, he will leave a Shine behind. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Corona Mountain (1.0.4) This is not one of those stage that has episodes in it, this is the FINAL stage leading to the last enemy you'll face or the final battle as some of you call it. In the first part of this stage, squirt water to cool down the flames, then hover over to it over the spikes, and then hover over the next spikes. Grab the 1-Up on the next platform. From here, spray over at the next set of flames and wait for the spikes to go down and then land on that platform, hover over to the distinguished flame platform, but hurry before the flame will start firing up again and get on the safe platform with a blue coin on it. The next set of platforms are getting a little harder, spray over to any one of the closest platform with fire on it and then wait for the spikes to go down, then hover, keep doing this until you reach the end with the water fountain, a crate with the 1-Up inside and a boat. Get on the boat and use the FLUDD to shoot in the opposite direction to make the boat move, try not to hit any stalagmites, so, the best way to get across the boiling lava is to go slow and take it easy, because there is no given time for this thing. Once you reach the end, grab the rocket nozzle from the red box and launch yourself up while standing on the shadow. Jump from cloud to cloud while going upward until you reach the black cloud. ******************************* FINAL BATTLE ********************************* The first part of the battle will have Bowser blowing flames and Baby Bowser shooting Bullet Bills at you. Squirt water in Bowser's mouth to extinguish the flame and then go to any one of the corners and use the rocket nozzle to launch yourself high up in the air until you reach the highest point then Ground Pound all the way back down, this use so muchenergy that it will knock the tub off balance, do the same for the next 4 corners and the tub will spill over, ending the battle. Did you like playing Super Mario Sunshine? I sure as hell did! ============================================================================== Baddies (0.0.5) ============================================================================== -Blooper One of the old enemies Mario had to face, but they aren't that big of a deal to face, simply squirt water at one and it will be stunned. Run and jump on it. -Miniature Piranha Plant They appear in the wooded area in Bianco Hills. They will pop up when you get near them. Squirt water at them until their belly explodes. If you are a little too far away from them, they will spit out an object at you. -Miniature Plungelo You see these everywhere on the beach in Gelato Beach. They come in red and blue. When Mario get close to them they will run after you and plunge you high up in the air. You can get a coin by stomping on one and you can kill them if you lure one to the Sand Bud, but you'd have to water the Sand Bud to make the sand formation appear and it will kill them. -Piranha Plant A huge plant with venus fly-trap-like teeth, they don't do much but wavering its stem in one spot. You can squirt water at them, but the only way to damage them is whenever they open their mouth, squirt some weed killer in there and they will get stung, do this two more time and they will be gone for good. -Plungelo They look like one of Wiggler's abdomens, a large one that is. You see those large creatures wobbling on the three mirrors in Gelato Beach. They are yellow and round and they have plunger-like feet. There is no way to harm them, but you can upset their balance and send them flying in the air by Ground Pound the opposite end of the mirror from where it is. -Wiggler Another old enemy that is brought back from the old days. Wiggler seems to become more of a boss character than just a friendly looking caterpillar that get pissed off when Mario jumps on him. Wiggler still have that type of personality, but it doesn't have that cute little hat with the flower on it anymore. You will find Wiggler napping on the top of the bird tower in Episode 2 of Gelato Beach, and a battle in Episode 3 of the same level. ============================================================================== Blue Coins (0.0.6) ============================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Delfino Airstrip ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Blue Coin #1 At the start of this game, when you first pick up FLUDD, he will tell you how to use him and such. After the conversation, look to the left and you will see an M signature, which is signed by Shadow Mario himself, whom you will meet later on. Use the regular nozzle and aim at the M's, squirt water at it and make sure you clean it off really good and you will get your first Blue Coin! Blue Coin #2 Right where you got your first Blue Coin, look to the right of it, there is another M signature on the blue block, use the regular nozzle and clean the M signature off the block, you will get your 2nd blue coin here. Blue Coin #3 The only way to get this blue coin is after you beat the final boss of the game. To go back to Delfino Airstrip, there is a boat right close to where the blue coin exchange place is or where the warp to Ricco Harbor is, you have to pay a total of 10 regular gold coins to get back to the Delfino Airstrip. The easiest 10 coins you can sum up is if you jump in any one of the manholes. Pay the man and you will end up in the airstrip. Get on the dock and to the left you will see two blocks. Jump on the one with the Turbo Nozzle and run to where the tall tower is, charge the Turbo up and bust yourself inside the tower. You will see a ice cube, simply switch to the regular nozzle and squirt at it and the ice will melt, grab the blue coin here. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Delfino Plaza ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Blue Coin #1 From where you first started in Delfino Plaza (in front of the two police men) go straight ahead, pass all of the fruit stands. Up ahead at the end is what to be a jail with a wanted poster of Mario. If you look inside the jail, you will see a spinning blue coin. But, how do you get to it? Go to the right of the building and around. Take a look at the back of the building and zoom out (C-Stick), you will see a hole which you can go through. Hover over the water and into the hole, run in and grab the blue coin. Blue Coin #2 In the southern area of Delfino Plaza is a Grand Pianta Statue, one side of the statue has a warp to Bianco Hills. On another one of the sides have an M signature on it, use the regular nozzle and squirt the M signature off really good and you will see a blue coin appear in a different area, this area is close to where the Blue Coin Exchange place is. You have to use your speed to get this one though. Blue Coin #3 In the western part of the town, behind the west bell tower is another M signature. Use the regular nozzle and clean off the graffiti really good and you will see a blue coin appear in a different area. This area is happen to be where the Grand Pianta Statue is located, to get this coin requires you to use speed. Blue Coin #4 From where you started at the beginning of the same (in front of the police men) take a right and jump up onto the higher ground and head straight out to where the pond is, if you look to the right, you will see a crate on the dock, close to where the Shine Tower is. Jump on the crate and perform a Ground Pound (A then L while in the air) on the crate and you will see an M signature on the wall behind it. Clean off the signature with FLUDD and you will get a blue coin for doing that. Blue Coin #5 On the rooftops, there is a pineapple stuck in a pipe, go to that area of the Plaza. Around there, you will see green birds and a lone blue bird with them. Spray water with a regular nozzle at the blue bird until it drops a Blue Coin. Blue Coin #6 From the pipe with the pineapple in it, head west and then hover over the gap onto a brown building, then run across the pink section of the building and onto the rooftop where you see a manhole. Close to the manhole is a crate, perform a somersault to get on top of the crate and then perform a Ground Pound on it. Once you break it, you will see an M signature on the building, clean it off and you will get a blue coin for it. Blue Coin #7 From the crate, head west and jump over the gap onto the brown building, then go across the pink rooftop onto the next building with red roofs with a Pianta on the roof. Around here you will see another blue bird, do the same for the blue bird you squirted down earlier, this one holds a blue coin as well. Blue Coin #8 Around Delfino Plaza, you will see five different people with a basket beside each. Lets start with the one who want some bananas in her basket. You can find a banana on one of the trees in the southern part of the area where the Grand Pianta Statue is and there are at least four in the market area. Grab whichever you want and carry it around the building, then up the ramp and throw it in the basket. Do this 2 more times and the lady will give you a blue coin for helping. Blue Coin #9 Straight across from where the lady who ask for banana is another lady with a basket high above her. This one wants 3 pineapples in the basket, go back to the market (turn left and jump down to the lower ground) and take a pineapple from the market (one with spiky leaves on top) and carry it back the same way you took and you have to throw it up high in order to get it in the basket (press B to throw while running) Blue Coin #10 Straight across the pond is another lady with a basket laying on the ground. This lady wants 3 durians in her basket. Hover across the pond and head straight for the market. A durian looks like an oversized pineapple with no leave on top, also, this is the only fruit you can't pick up. Kick the durian straight down towards the jailhouse, then turn right and up the first ramp on the right, kick it all the way down to where the pineapple lady is but just a couple feets away from her. Turn and face straight across the pond and take a couple steps back, run and slide (press B) into the durian and you will send it flying across the pond and hopefully it will land on the other side of the plaza. Hover yourself over the pond and kick the durian in the basket, do this 2 more time with the same process. Blue Coin #11 Head towards to where the Blue Coin Exchange place is and swim across the water to where the island is. On that island is another lady with a basket sitting near her. This lady want 3 coconuts in her basket. You can get one from the market if you want to travel far, plus there is 2 more close to where the Blue Coin Exchange place is. Why do you have to travel where there is a coconut tree sitting on the same island where the lady is? Aim up at the tree and spray the coconut off to make it drop to the ground. Pick it up with B and throw it in the basket. Do this 2 more times and you will get a blue coin for helping out. Blue Coin #12 Good thing you picked the coconut basket lady last. Why? because there is a manhole on that island too, perform a Ground Pound on it to be in the underground passageway. From there, head straight down the path and turn left and left again and follow the path to the very back and you will find a blue coin. Blue Coin #13 Take the manhole that is located in front of the Grand Pianta Statue and drop down into the underground passageway. From here, go all the way north to a big area, keep going north and you will be in another area, continue going north until you reach a dead end and you will find a blue coin back there. Blue Coin #14 From where you find Blue Coin #13, go back through the two big areas down there and ehad south, at the intersection, turn east then north then west. Take a first path heading north (not the one at the end) and continue down to the very back end of this path, another blue coin is hidden in the dead end. Blue Coin #15 Head over to where the red cannon is (this cannon will take you to Pinna Park) and climb up the tree. Once you reach on top of the tree, hover over to the building with a weathervain on the top of the tower, on one side of that tower is another M signature, signed by Shadow Mario himself. Wash the grafitti off and grab the blue coin after that. Blue Coin #16 After you complete Bianco Hills, in front of the market, you will see a Pianta on fire, head over there and use a regular nozzle. Start spraying water at this native until you extinguish the fire very good. He will give you a blue coin for saving his life. Blue Coin #17 Once you complete Episode 4 in Pinna Park, you will have to chase Shadow Mario around Delfino Plaza, but this is worth it, because he is holding a Yoshi egg. Once you get Yoshi, go up the ramp and jump on the overhang and you will bounce up high in the air, head straight to the top of the building behind where the two policemen are. Behind it, you will see a yellow goop, have Yoshi spray juice on it to dissolve the goop. Jump in the little alcove to get a blue coin. Blue Coin #18 Its a good thing that you have Yoshi to get Blue Coin #17 and #18 at once. There is another yellow goop on the building. I suggest you take the manhole in front of the Pianta Statue and turn right at the intersection then head north then turn west to the very last manhole at the end. Jump and land on the rooftop. Take a look at the tower with a weathervain on top and you will see a yellow goop on one side of the tower. Have Yoshi spray juice on the goop and it will dissolve. Dismount Yoshi and get on the little sloping on the side of the tower and jump in the little alcove to get the blue coin. Blue Coin #19 Once you have around 50-60 Shine Sprites, you will see that the Rocket nozzle box and the Turbo nozzle box will be available by the Grand Pianta Statue. Jump on the Turbo nozzle box and equip the nozzle. Head straight to the lighthouse (it has a warp on it that will take you to Gelato Beach) and veer off in the ocean where all the platforms are. On one of the platforms has a door on its side. Make sure you are facing the door and you can be as far away from the door if you want. Charge up the Turbo meter and bash through the door, you will grab a blue coin in there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bianco Hills ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Blue Coin #1 From the starting point in Bianco Hills, go straight ahead on the path until you reach the river. Jump in the river and swim around, there is a bright blue coin in the river. You have to dive to get it though. You can get this one in any episode, but the first episode would do you good. Blue Coin #2 From the starting point, go straight ahead on the path until you reach the river, either swim over to the other side or jump on the log or hover yourself across the river, or use the rope. Once you reach the other side, turn right and jump in the lower ground and go north and run pass the arch that holds the bells. Get up on the higher ground between the arch and the wheel at the end of the path. Look on the wall and you will see an M signature, clean it off with FLUDD until a blue coin pops out. Blue Coin #3 While you are still on Blue Coin #2, there is another M signature and its in the village. From where you are (facing the wall), turn around and run straight ahead and up the hill where you see the two young Piantas running around and a lady. Talk to the lady and she will give you an attitude and tell you to wash the grafitti off the house. Look at the house and you will see a large M signature, rinse this one off too and you will get a blue coin after. Blue Coin #4 On that same house where Blue Coin #3 was, look up and you will see two towers on the top of the house. Inside one of the towers holds a blue coin. To get up there, go to where the log is in the river and turn around to face the town. You will two houses connected by some ropes, jump up on one of them then the one above. Get on the roof and you will see another rope above it, get up on that one and get on the roof of the house. Take a look around the town and you will see two structures that has sail on each and a wooden platform that slowly spins around. Hover over to the closest one then hover again to the next wooden platform and finally, hover over and get on the roof of the house that has two towers, you will see a blue coin inside one. All you have to do is perform a double jump and at the highest point of the second jump, start hovering and grab the blue coin inside. Blue Coin #5 Hover back on the wooden platform then the next one after that and onto the roof of one of the buildings. From the roof, jump down below the rope onto another roof. If you take a look out at the river, look to the right and you will see another house, but this one has a balcony which you can get onto, hover over there and spray into the hole on the left and surprise! Blue Coin #6 Head straight for the wheel at the end of the dried river bed and you can either perform a back somersault to get on one of the wheel fins or jump up on the ledge to the left of it and then get on the fin. Get on the roof beside it and look around on one side of the wall, you will see another one of those Shadow Mario signatures which you can clean off for another blue coin. Blue Coin #7 From the rooftop where the wheel is, head south and get on the rope. Walk across it and get on the roof of a building. Look straight out and you will see two structures with sail on each. Hover over to the first one, then hover again over to the second structure. Look around on the second structure and you will see a blue coin floating in the air. Hover over to it to get it. Blue Coin #8 Go back on top of the wheel again and head halfway down the wall and look toward the town, then zoom out. You will see two X marks on the wall. Jump down to the front one and clean the X off the wall until a blue coin pop out behind the wall you are spraying at. Look to the left and you will see a wall which you can jump and over onto to go around and get the blue coin in time. Blue Coin #9 Do the same for Blue Coin #8, clean the X mark off the wall to make a blue coin appear. Jump up on the wall to the left of it and go through the tunnel and jump back down to where the first X mark was, a blue coin is laying there all alone. Blue Coin #10 From where you were on top of the wall near the X mark, head back to the rover ON that wall and take a second left on one of the smaller walls. Position yourself in front of the windmill and switch to a regular nozzle, start squirting water at the windmill and it will spin faster, after a while, a blue coin will pop up onto the platform. Blue Coin #11 Jump down off the platform where Blue Coin #10 was and head towards where you see large mudballs rolling down on the land into the lake. Position yourself facing from where the mudball is coming from and go right into the lake. Swim out to where you see four gold/regular coins sitting on top of the water, somewhere behind that is a lone blue coin sitting on the bottom of the lake, you have to dive down to get it. Blue Coin #12 From where Blue Coin #11 was, swim out to the shore on the other side (under the bridge) then get on the rope. While on that first rope, jump on it and when you reach the highest point of the second jump, hover over to a bridge-like structure. From here, run up the hill while avoiding sludge ball that Petey keep throwing at you. Once you reach the top of the hill, get on the sloping ramp around the tower while hover over the gaps. Once you get on the ledge with a Pianta, a gongola-like platform and an M signature. Wait...did I say M signature? ah, rinse that signature off the wall for a blue coin. Blue Coin #13 From the start of the level, go straight down and hover across the river. Take a right and go towards the bridge and then hover across the bridge. Be careful here because Petey will throw mudballs at you, so you have to dodge it. Go up the tower and once you reach the top, face the tower and your back towards the bridge, look to the left and you will see a platform. Go over there and shoot water at it and a blue coin will appear. You can do this in episode 2. Blue Coin #14 At the beginning of episode 3, head straight down the path and walk across the rope, and take a right here. Head for the bridge and walk across it and up the path. On the path is a Pianta covered in goop. Help him by cleaning the goop off with FLUDD and he will give you a blue coin. Blue Coin #15 From Blue Coin #14, continue going up the path and get on the gondola to reach the top of the windmill where Petey was. On there is a flower, if you hover over to it, a Pokey-like enemy will rise. To defeat it, you have to jump on its head and a blue coin will appear. Blue Coin #16 From Blue Coin #15, look out at the lake and you will see several platforms, one of them has a blue coin on it, and its the closest platform, try hovering over to it by either from the top of the windmill or from one of the gondolas and eventually, you'll get it. You can get it by going through a series of ropes and platforms. Blue Coin #17 Head over to the rope by the lake, get on the rope and jump onto the platform ahead, then get on the next rope. Once you get in the middle, jump twice on it and you'll clign onto the grate above, there are some regular coins and a blue coin up there. Blue Coin #18 From Blue Coin #17, jump down and head for where all of the trees are and look out in the river, you will see three logs standing, go across them and jump up on the wall. Take a left and you will see three platforms up ahead, get on the last platform and you will see a Pokey-like enemy, jump on its head and it will disappear, leaving a blue coin behind. Blue Coin #19 From where Blue Coin #18 was, look across the water and you will see a red block on one of the platforms, hover over it and jump on the block to get a rocket nozzle. Once you have the rocket nozzle equipped, head back into the town and go all the way close to the wall, charge up the rocket nozzle and you will launch yourself up on the ledge above, there is a blue coin laying there. You can only do this in Episode 4. Blue Coin #20 You can only do this in Episode 5, from the start of the level, get on the very last tree on the right hand side of the path and then get on top of the wall, and then hover over to the next closest wall. If you look on top of the circular pillar, you will see a Pianta on top of it. This one is covered in goop, wash the goop off with FLUDD and he will give you a blue coin after. Blue Coin #21 Before going up to meet Petey Piranha again, there is a blue coin sitting on one of the platforms below the large field. Blue Coin #22 In Episode 6, go back to where Petey Piranha was in Episode 5, there are two clouds floating around now. You will notice that if you spray water at either one, the cloud will get bigger. Do so and then jump onto the cloud. Do the same for the next cloud and then jump on that one. There is a platform out in the middle of this area, spray water at it and a blue coin will appear. Blue Coin #23 From where you were for Blue Coin #22, get back on the large field and then onto the closest windmill, look out at the town and you will see another Blue Coin on another one of the windmills. Blue Coin #24 There is a lone blue coin in the water. Get on the rope on the shore of the lake and look to the left, you see those four regular coins far away? the blue coin is in the lake close to there, you'd have to dive to get it. Blue Coin #25 In Episode 7, there is an "O" mark on the back of the building with the two towers. Spray water at it until you clear the grafitti off and a blue coin will appear somewhere else. This blue coin is located in between the two houses towards the front side of the town. Blue Coin #26 Do the same for the "O" on the building where Blue Coin #25 was, but another blue coin will appear in the area where you washed the O off the building with the two towers. Blue Coin #27 In front of the town, get on the ropes that connects the two buildings and then get on the roof. On the roof is a box that holds a rocket nozzle inside, jump on it and equip the rocket nozzle. Then launch yourself on top of the building and you will see a wooden pole on the building, if you look up you will see that its a windmill and its holding a rope. Launch yourself up onto the platform and you will see a blue bird flying around. Start squirting water at the blue bird until it drops a blue coin. Blue Coin #28 From Blue Coin #27, head back to the lake ad go in the area where the trees are, have one of the Piantas throw you up there. Once you are on top of the tree, hover from tree to tree until you reach the last two trees closest to the ramp that leads up to the tower. Hover over both of the last two trees, you will see the first will spit out a regular coin while the second one spits out a blue coin. Blue Coin #29 You have to use Yoshi to get this blue coin and this one wants a banana, or else it won't hatch. You can find a banana on the ground where all the trees are in the lake area. Carry it back to Yoshi and then he will hatch. Take him across the river and to the building with the two towers. On the ground is a blue butterfly, if the butterfly isn't there, keep looking around the building. Have Yoshi eat it and it will drop a blue coin. You are better off getting this blue coin in Episode 8, and to get Yoshi, you have to complete Episode 4 in Pinna Park. Blue Coin #30 While you are still on Yoshi after getting the 29th blue coin, head over to the lake and go in where all the trees are. On one of the trees is a large honeycomb, knock it down and a large swarm of bees will fly after you, simply have Yoshi each and every one of them until you reach the last and final bee, eat this one and it will drop a blue coin. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gelato Beach ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Blue Coin #1 At the start of this level, look behind you and you will see another island, head over there and look around. You will eventually see a wooden swing hanging above the water on the side of the island, look up and you will see a line of coin and a blue coin at the end of the line. Get on the swing and switch to regular nozzle and have Mario face towards YOU and squirt water to make the swing move, you have to keep squirting in order to swing higher and you will get a blue coin if you go high. Blue Coin #2 Stay on the same island where you got Blue Coin #1. On that same tree where the swing is hanging from has a blue coin on TOP of the tree. You have to walk up on it to get up there, you may have to somersault to get on top of it. A blue coin is in the middle of the top part of the tree. Blue Coin #3 Jump in the water and go behind the island, there is a blue coin laying on the floor of the ocean, you have to dive in to get it. The exact possible location I can give you is...swim under where the middle tree is and its towards Ricco Harbor (you can't swim over to that level though) Blue Coin #4 There is another blue coin laying on the ocean floor and its in the area between the island with the swing and the coral reef, but its more closer to the island though. Blue Coin #5 As you swim towards the coral reef, you will see a school of red fish swimming around the reef or out in the middle of the ocean, a blue coin is swimming along with them. Blue Coin #6 Same as Blue Coin #5, but look around for a school of blue fish, you will see a blue coin swimming along with them. Blue Coin #7 From the start of the level, go straight across and veer to the right a little and you will see a shanty or a hut or whatever you call them and inside the hut, you will see a blue coin, you can either somersault or hover yourself up there to reach it. Blue Coin #8 In Episode 1, you will see at least 10 to 15 of those little blue Plungelos walking around on the beach and a lone red Plungelo. Head over to the red one and knock him out with a squirt from your FLUDD and then bounce on its underside, it will spit out a blue coin. Blue Coin #9 On the roof and if you are facing towards the tower with the bird egg inside, look to the right on the ledge, you will see several regular coin and an M signature. Rinse the signature off the wall to get a blue coin. Blue Coin #10 From where Blue Coin #9 is, jump down off the ledge onto the beach and head toward the beach. Look at the wall and you will see a triangle grafitti on the wall, rinse it off and a blue coin will appear somewhere else. This blue coin is located all the way across the beach, closer to the watermelon hut. To get it in time run across the beach while pressing B then A to jump and jump again even further. Blue Coin #11 Same as Blue Coin #10, but the other triangle is on the wall close to the watermelon hut and you have to go back across the beach to where the previous triangle mark was, and do the same speed method to get it in time. Blue Coin #12 From the beginning of the level, go left and along the beach to the watermelon house. Jump down in the water behind the watermelon house and swim under the section where the umbreallas are, there is some coins and a blue coin underneath it. Blue Coin #13 From where Blue Coin #12 is, go up the hill with the two mirrors and a tower, but continue going up the hill behind it. There is a bird bird on one of the ropes at the top of the hill. Blue Coin #14 In the same area as Blue Coin#13, there should be another blue bird flying around on the rope or sitting on the rope somewhere else, but there is a total of two in this level. Blue Coin #15 Are you still up there on the hill? Jump on any one of the rope and press Y to look out on top of the rope series, you will see a blue coin sitting on top of one of the poles towards the edge of the level. Blue Coin #16 While you are still on top of the hill, follow the brick road towards the watermelon house (don't slide down the hill) and hover over the slope to the next brick road until you reach a little platform separated from the land, look down in the gap and you will see a blue coin laying on the ground at the bottom of the gap, jump down to get it. Blue Coin #17 This has to be the highest blue coin ever to be reached. This one is located at the farthest and the highest rope line, and its over towards the watermelon house. You have to jump from rope to rope to get up there, hover nozzle and far-view camera works well for this type of stuff, but thats my opinion. Blue Coin #18 You will get this blue coin if you are in Episode 2, head out to where the sandcastle used to be. Start spraying water in the middle of that area and a shape of a star will appear and a blue coin will pop out. Blue Coin #19 From blue coin #18, head towards the watermelon house, but look for a shadow on the beach around that area (which happen to be a column of coins up above) and spray around it and a shape of another one of those stars will appear, but its smaller in size. A blue coin will pop out once you reveal the shape. Blue Coin #20 Head over to the boat that is closer to the starting point and around that boat (on the beach of course) is another one of those hidden stars underneath the sand. Spray it until you reveal the whole shape of it and a blue coin will pop out, grab it. Blue Coin #21 There is another hidden star and its located over by where the surfboard rack is. At the start of the level, just run straight across the beach and you will see a row of surfboards on a rack. Spray around that area until you heard/see the "pop" mark, and then clear the shape up, a blue coin will pop out. Blue Coin #22 to #25 In Episode 4, get in the level where you are on the sand bird, there are at least 4 blue coins flating around. All of them are on the cloud, you can get 3 blue coins before the bird tilts, and one more after when it tilts back. Blue Coin #26 From the start of the level, turn right and head for the red box sitting on the ledge, jump on it to get a rocket nozzle. Go behind the hut close by and jump up on the ground where the tower sits, towards the left side is a wooden structure. Launch yourself on top of the structure and look up, you will see a row of coin and a blue coin at the very top. Launch up high again and grab the blue coin. Blue Coin #27 Don't go anywhere from Blue Coin #26, look on one of the trees that are closest to the tower and you will see a miniature blue sleeping Plungelo sitting on top of the tree. Squirt water at it to wake it up and squirt again to make it flip over, run over to it and jump on its underside, it will spit out a blue coin. Blue Coin #28 Come back to Episode 6 after you complete Episode 4 in Pinna Park. You will see a Yoshi egg laying on the beach where the sandcastle was. It will hatch when ti bring him the fruit it wants. Take Yoshi over to where the yellow goop is near the hut and have him spray the goop away with its juice. Dismount Yoshi (press X) and spray the new sandbud until it forms a new sand formation of a footprint, in the ditch lies some coins and a blue coin. Blue Coin #29 Remember doing that one blue coin where you have to knock a beehive down and eat all of the bees and the last bee to be eaten leave behind a blue coin in Bianco Hills? Same thing in here, the beehive is located on a wooden structure next to the tower. Blue Coin #30 Take any fruit and bring it over to the watermelon house, but somersault on top of the house and you will see a sharp blade that acts like a blender. Toss a fruit in it and a blue coin will pop out. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ricco Harbor ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Blue Coin #1 At the start of this level, look to the left and you will see a Pianta with a sunglasses on him, and a building stands next to him. Look up on the side of the building and you will see an M signature on the wall, clean it up with FLUDD to get a blue coin. Blue Coin #2 If you can get on top of that building where Blue Coin #1 was (try somersault-wall-kick combination to get a higher jump), you will see another Shadow Mario signature on the side of the cliff, wash this one down to get a blue coin as well. Blue Coin #3 From the start of this level, head straight across and onto the ship, jump off the ship and onto the ground where you see the lighthouse. Hang around the lighthouse and look on the ship, another one of those darn M signature that you have to wash down. Blue Coin #4 While you are still hanging around the lighthouse, look in the very back of that area and you will see a lone crate sitting in the corner, get on top of it and perform a Ground Pound on it, you will receive a blue coin for it. Blue Coin #5 Obviously there is black goop (or ink) around the lighthouse, use the regular nozzle (or hover if you want) and clean the sludge up, at one area you will see an M signature on the ground. Aim the nozzle towards the ground and wash it off for another blue coin. Blue Coin #6 Still hanging out by the lighthouse? good. Go to the Pianta that is jumping up and down on some crates. Stand on it and face the wall opposite from where the Pianta is facing and look to the left a little to another section of the wall. Start spraying at the wall and you will see a blue lining, keep spraying at it and a blue shine will appear and of course a blue coin will pop out. Blue Coin #7 Head back on that ship you were just on and stand on top of one of those "flip gates" and Ground Pound on it to be inside the cage. You will see black goop all over the ship floor, clean it up and in the middle section of the floor is an M signature, wash it down to get, of course, a blue coin. Blue Coin #8 Get back on top of the cage and look across the sea, you will see a crane moving left and right close by and if you look up, you will see a blue coin just sitting there. Make your way up there and grab that blue coin. Blue Coin #9 From Blue Coin #9, there is a blue coin sitting on the beam above you, you'd have to get back on the boat and hover up there (try it from the top of the pipe) Blue Coin #10 Get onto the top of the pipe of the ship and look back towards the building where Blue Coin #1 was and look up, you will see several red cages, if you cling on those someway, and get onto the beam up there, you will see a blue coin nearby. Blue Coin #11 If you look down at the lighthouse from up there, you will see a blue coin sitting on one of the wooden beams around the lighthouse, hover down and get on the beam to get the coin, or you can perform a wall-kick between the two columns to the left of the lighthouse to reach up there. Blue Coin #12 Look out across the sea and look for that green platform with an arrow pointing to the left, see it? now, there is an orange platform with the same arrow. Underneath that orange platform is a blue coin sitting on the floor of the sea, get it! Blue Coin #13 Make your way on top of where all the metal beams are and if you reach the farthest side (towards the ocean) and in the middle section (close by where the crane raising and lowering a red cage) and you will see a line of coin and a blue coin along with them, just drop down to get it. Blue Coin #14 From where that crane raising and lowering the red platform, you will see another platform with 2 Piantas on it and a propellar nearby. Have yourself in front of the propellar and spray it to make it spin, this will raise the submarine. Keep spinning the propellar until a blue coin pop out. Blue Coin #15 When the submarine sits on the water, run across it and then hover across the water to get on the platform up ahead. Look to the right and you will see an elevating platform, wait for it to get out of the water and then get on it and somersault onto the cage above. While you are still on top of the cage, look around the ground where the buildings are and you will see a fountain. Sitting on top of it is a blue coin. Blue Coin #16 There is a Pianta standing close to the fountain (looking up at the buildings) and if you talk to him, he will point out that there is something to wash down off the building. Take a look at the buildings and you will see something familiar, wash it down to get a blue coin. Blue Coin #17 Get on top of the buildings (try the back somersault-wall kick combination) and drop down off the building where the crates are (with a manhole underneath) and you will see an M signature on the wall, wash it down to get a blue coin. Blue Coin #18 From where Blue Coin #17 was, behind you is a stone platform leading out to where the helipad is, get on it and look around, you will see several high platforms, hover over there to get on the lowest platform and then get on the cliff, and then to the next cliff, there is an M signature on the wall. Wash it down to get a blue coin. Blue Coin #19 Make your way back on the helipad again and get on one of the platforms out in the sea. Keep going from platform to platform until you reach the one with an M signature on it, wash it down for another blue coin. Blue Coin #20 You can only find this in Episode 2 of this level, go to the last sailboat and look around, you will see a blue coin floating in the air nearby, you can hover over to it to get it. Blue Coin #21 There is another one in Episode 2 of this level, get on any one of the squids and near the entrace of the tunnel is a blue coin, you have to jump to reach it though. Blue Coin #22 One of the spiders in Episode 3 inside the black boat holds a blue coin if you kill it (get on the other side of the fence and punch it off the cage with B) Blue Coin #23 Another one of those spiders in Episode 3 holds a blue coin, do the same straegy as above to get a blue coin. Blue Coin #24 There is a rocket nozzle on one of the platforms where the high beams are. Head over to the lighthouse and get on the very top of it, if you look up you will see a row of coins and a blue coin on top of it, you may have to jump before you launch yourself up there to be able to reach it. Blue Coin #25 In Episode 4, get the rocket nozzle first and then get on the green platform with an arrow on it, look up and you will see that you are underneath a large cage. Launch yourself up there and you will cling onto the cage, go to the flip gate and bring yourself in the cage. A lone squid will come after you, all you have to do is spray water at it and it will stun it, jump on it to kill it and a blue coin will pop out. Blue Coin #26 In Episode 6, head over to the market where Gooper Blooper was. There is a basket with some fishes in it, spray water at it and a blue coin will appear. Blue Coin #27 & #28 There are two X marks in Episode 7, one on the lighthouse and one on the building close to the market. For the one from the building to the lighthouse, you have to use the Turbo nozzle and for the one from the lighthouse to the building, you can either use the rocket nozzle to get up on the higher ground or use the sewer. Blue Coin #29 In Episode 8, find the Yoshi egg and bring the fruit it wants with you. Around the market, you will see a flock of blue butterflies, eat all of them for a blue coin. Blue Coin #30 Bring Yoshi back to the lighthouse and on it is a spider, have Yoshi eat it for a blue coin. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pinna Park ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Blue Coin #1 Head right onto the beach and get to the area close by to the cannon, there is a blue star sprite hidden underneath the sand, you have to wash the sand down until the whole image of the blue star sprite is being uncovered, a blue coin will pop out. Blue Coin #2 Head back a little more to where you see a lone basket on the sand close by to a tree, in between is another hidden blue shine sprite, wash the sand away and uncover the image to get a blue coin. Blue Coin #3 & 4 There are two blue butterflies in this area. Once you beat Episode 4 in this level, Yoshi will appear, return to the beach area and Yoshi will want a specific fruit. To find it, just spray little droplets of water all across the beach, some coins will pop out, and so does the fruits. Bring the fruit it want to him and then Yoshi will hatch. Have him eat the two blue butterflies (look around near where the sunflowers are). Blue Coin #5 Once you enter the park, stand around and press Y to be in a different camera view and look around for a blue bird. When you see one, spray water at it until it drop a blue coin. Blue Coin #6 From the starting point of the park, turn right and you will see a Clam Cups section, get in the middle of it and simply spray water at any calm and its shells will open.

Blue Coin #8 Close by is a orange wall with an archway in the middle, on one side of the wall has an M signature. Wash it down for a blue coin. Blue Coin #9 Go up the hill from where Blue Coin #8 was and you will see a big tree off the path, on it is an X mark, wash it down and a blue coin will appear somewhere else. This blue coin is located right across the little pond. Blue Coin #10 There is another one of those X mark where Blue Coin #9 came from, but the 10th blue coin will appear where the big tree is. Blue Coin #11 From where the big tree is, continue going up the path and you will see a tent or a gazebo of some sort and look out for a blue bird in this area. Simply spray water at it until it drops a blue coin. Blue Coin #12 Stand on top of the gazebo and look across, you will see another gazebo and a blue coin sitting on the ledge behidn it, simply hover over there to get it. Blue Coin #13 Drop down to where the enemy is with little enemies on top of each others. Simply switch to the regular nozzle and start spraying those little enemies away and when you flip the big enemy over, Ground Pound on its underside and it will go away, and so will the little enemies too and a blue coin will appear. Blue Coin #14 Jump back up on the wall and onto the ledge, you will see a triangular shaped graffiti on the wall, spray it down and a blue coin will appear where the ferris wheel is. Blue Coin #15 Do the same for #14, just wash the grafitti down and the blue coin will appear where the grafitti was for blue coin #14, but you don't have to run down the path to get it. Look for that cliff and hover over to it and then drop down onto it, its a lot quicker going that way. Blue Coin #16 & #17 On top of the ferris wheel (you can access there by the ramp where the Pirate Ships are) are two circle grafittis, spray one down and the other circle grafitti is located on the other side of the ferris wheel.

Blue Coin #24 to #29 You can only get those 6 blue coins in each basket that are scattered out on the beach in Episode 2. The first 5 farthest from the cannon is where you have to lure the sensor-controlled bullet bill (purple) to the basket. The one basket closest to the cannon is the one you can easily break open. Blue Coin #30 In Episode 6, Make Yoshi hatch in the park and head over to the beaches to the left of where you fought Mecha-Bowser. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Noki Bay ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Blue Coin #1 From the starting point, look to the left and you will see a boat close by and a blue coin floating in the air. Hover over to the boat and then you have to use the regular nozzle to steer the boat. Take your time and grab the blue coin out in the water.

Blue Coin #3 From where Blue Coin #2 is, get on the land and head right to where the hut is with a raccoon inside. Standon the edge of the dock and look in the water, you will see a line of coin and you can barely see a blue coin down there, dive in and grab it. Blue Coin #4 Make your way up to the top of the mountain side and up on the top is a weird cut in the wall, spray water at it and a blue coin will pop out. Blue Coin #5 & #6 While you are still running around on the top of the mountain, there is a ledge with some rocks in the wall, spray at them rocks with your FLUDD and two blue coins will pop out. Blue Coin #7 On the cliff is a hole in the wall and another one next to it, but on a different cliff, spray at the "empty" parts in the cliff and two holes will appear and a blue coin will appear too. Blue Coin #8 Below where Blue Coin #7 was is a ledge and if you spray the wall down there, a hiiden blue coin will pop out. Blue Coin #9 From Blue Coin #8 is another ledge next to it with two rocks on the wall, get on the ledge and spray the rocks to get a blue coin. Blue Coin #10 From Blue Coin #9, look up and to the left and another ledge has a hole in the wall with a blue coin inside, jump up there and get in the hole to grab it. Blue Coin #11 There is a bronze block formation on the cliff and if you spray it, a long passage will appear, you have to do some wall jumping here and get in the right side of the formation and look around, you will see some rocks, behind them is a blue coin. Blue Coin #12 Get back in the formation from where you got Blue Coin#11, but get in the left side of it and at the end of the passage is a blue coin. Blue Coin #13 There is an M signature on the wall on the left side of the cliff area, wash it down for a blue coin. Blue Coin #14 Make your way up the cliff and once you get on the second scale, lift your way up and head up, at the top is a rocket nozzle box, equip the nozzle and look up around for a blue coin, charge it up to reach it. Blue Coin #15 From Blue Coin #14, this one is in the hole above where the rocket nozzle box is, a blue coin is tucked in there. Blue Coin #16 After you beat the mole in the cannon, look across and you will see a small ledge, get on it and take a good look for a blue hole inside the hole underneath you. You have to drop down and hover at the right time to reach it. Blue Coin #17 You can only get this blue coin in Episode 2. Go up the cliff until you reach the second scale and on the edge of the ledge is a narrow path, hug the wall and go down until you can't go any furhter, spray the wall and a hole or a hidden part of the cliff will appear with a blue coin inside. Blue Coin #18 From where Blue Coin #17 was, there is another "path" you can take, and at the end of the path, you have to do some wall jumping here to get to the top for a blue coin. Blue Coin #19 Make your way up the cliff and pass the second scale and when you get on the "wheel" for the second scale, you will see another path which you can take. Go to the end of the path and spray the wall to find another hidden area, a blue coin will appear. Blue Coin #20 There is a purple Noki in this level in Episode 2, on the wall is a block, spray it with FLUDD and a formation of a maze will appear. Wall jump your way up and take a right where you see a blue coin. Blue Coin #21 From Blue Coin #20, form the maze structure again and make your way to the end of the structure and spray the wall at the end to make an new area appear with a blue coin. Blue Coin #22 & #23 After you battle the Gooper Blooper, a hole will appear with a shine at the bottom. Drop down in there, but look around the room for two big pots, spray both of them for 2 blue coins. Blue Coin #24 & #25 Remember those 2 grafittis in which you have to spray down and a blue coin will appear someplace else? same thing in here. This has to be the hardest one though, because you have to use the boat to get the coin in time...unless you got the turbo nozzle equipped somehow. This event occur in Episode 6. Blue Coin #26 In Episode 6, there is a blue coin tucked in the hole in the wall on the cliff which you can hover to from one of the shells in the middle of the bay, but this may give you some tries to get the blue coin. If you know an easier way to get it, please email me and I'll post it here. Blue Coin #27 to #30 You can find the last 4 blue coins in Episode 8 of Noki Bay, all of them are on the pillars.

Blue Coin #25 and #26 Another one of those two grafitti marks where you have a limited time to get the blue coin. Those two marks are triangle shaped and you have to be in the hotel for this one. One of the marks is over by the bar in the first floor and the other mark is on the second floor. To get it quickly, just perform a wall jump off the pole in the middle of the room and hover up to the second floor. Blue Coin #27 and #28 Same thing as #25 and #26, but those marks are Xs instead of triangle. Find them in the hotel in the second and third floor, spray both of them for two blue coins.
