Super Mario Sunshine Tips & Tricks

When you do the octopus race to get there on time jump over the last two walls and you will get there on time. Then you will get your star.

Once unlocked use the super fast jet thing and smash into the door with the two police men who are guarding it once done you should be in a sonic like level oh and don't stop using the jet thing if you want to complete the level (at the end there is a shine sprite).

Throughout the game, you'll see some birds flying in the sky. You can get stuff by either spraying them with water or eating them with yoshi. The things you get from the birds depend on the color of the bird itself. Green birds will give you yellow coins. Blue birds will give you blue coins. Red birds (Found in a couple of levels) will give you red coins. Yellow birds will give you shine sprites.

There is a blue coin that appears only in the Dirty Lake level. Some people tell me that they are missing only one more blue coin and they looked everywhere for it. Not a lot of people find this blue coin because they never expect to find it under the dirty lake. The blue coin is underwater, under the dirty lake. Many people think that going underwater in the dirty lake will kill them. But it doesn't. You're safe underwater (except that you need air). But you'll get hurt if you're swimming in it. A blue coin is underwater in the dirty lake on the left side of the windmill that is found at the end of a trail of yellow coins.

If you beat the game, the ending will show el pantissimo inspecting the paintbrush. If you beat the game 100% (all 120 shine sprites and beat Bowser) then the ending will show all of the characters in the game. You will also get a T-shirt with shine sprites all over it that Mario will wear.

when your riding yoshi in gelacto beach it takes alot of practice. go up to the plant by the pianta thats walking around with no noki by it. but you need half of the yoshi`s juice for this. spray at it and jump high and ground pound. sometimes you will just ground pound over the island,sometimes you go to the sun. the yoshi will die but mario will stay up there. you must turn off the wii or gamecube if it works.
