SUPER MARIO SUNSHINE TIPS & TRICKS
Beat Sandbird
Get the seven red coins first, then when he turns sideways there will be a bump on his wing. Get on it and wait there until it goes back to normal and get the eighth coin on top tower.
Beat Blooper
To beat the Blooper use water on him. He'll attack you with his tentacles. Jump on the tentacle and grab it. Do this to each tentacle and then grab his mouth. Do this two times and he dies.
Sleeping Mario
When playing the game, don't play the game and Mario will fall asleep.
How to avoid dying
When you are going to die (except falling) pause your game and choose EXIT AREA. You will be teleported to the beginning of that particular level.
Select files with moves
When you are selecting a file you can do a Spin Move and the Side Jump to get onto the blocks.
How to dive
Go get the rocket nozzle(red box)and rocket up to the top of the shine gate. Now jump off in to the water while holding in B (red button).
Blue coin
If you use the underground tunnel you can go through a house with a blue coin.
Where are the secret levels
After almost every obstacle course, there is secret level in which you go to the obstacle course and Ground Pound a red button to find eight Red Coins in a certain amount of time.
Get easy lives
Whenever you complete a level, go to the water directly next to where the boats go in and out. Dive all the way to the bottom and you will see a 1-Up Mushroom. Whenever you return from a level or start from the beginning, it will be there.
Get extra stars on secret levels
After you complete a secret level, go back to that episode and replay the secret level. This time there will be a red hump on the ground. Ground Pound it and get the red coins. There will be a time limit, but you have FLUDD to help you.
