Mario: Difference between revisions

''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' features a more advanced introduction and storyline background than usual in games of the ''Super Mario'' series. Mario, Peach and [[Toadsworth]] travel to the tropical island of [[Isle Delfino]] to have a vacation. However, upon arriving on the Delfino Airstrip, they notice some type of Goop is covering half the area. Mario, by request from Toadsworth for help, comes across [[F.L.U.D.D.]], and, with his help, destroys the [[Polluted Piranha Plant]] and [[Goop Generator]], cleaning the airstrip. However, soon after, the [[Isle Delfino Police|police]] arrive and take Mario to a courthouse on the main island.

Mario is then placed on trial against the citizens of Isle Delfino, represented by a [[Pianta Attorney]]. During the trial, the attorney explains that Isle Delfino is covered in Goop by an unknown entity, though descriptions from various unknown eyewitnesses have proven that [[Shadow Mario|Mario]] has vandalized Isle Delfino. Peach and Toadstool tried objecting against the attorney, but the [[Pianta Judge|judge]] overruled the objection quickly, sentencing Mario to clean the island of the Goop as community service while returning the island's power by collecting [[Shine Sprites]], the island's source of sunlight.

Shadow Mario soon captures Peach, taking her to [[Pinna Island]]. From there, Mario uses a cannon in Delfino Plaza to come after her, and, after chasing Shadow Mario through the island's theme park, arrives at a lake, where Shadow Mario unveils [[Mecha Bowser]], a huge Bowser-like robot. However, he defeats the robot by using [[Water Rockets]]. It is here that Shadow Mario revealed himself to be [[Bowser Jr.]], Bowser's eighth and newest child. Bowser Jr. then reveals that he had taken Peach because Bowser has told him that Peach is his mother and that she is "kidnapped by a bad man named Mario..." Mario, Peach, and F.L.U.D.D. also learn that Bowser Jr. has planted the [[Graffiti]] so Mario can be sent to prison, but it fails. Bowser Jr. then escapes, and he and Peach fly to [[Corona Mountain]].

Mario later arrives at the top of the mountain, where Peach, Bowser, and Bowser Jr. are sitting in a hot tub. The interruption enrages Bowser, and he begins to fight Mario. However, despite having help from Bowser Jr., who is firing [[Bullet Bill]]s from his raft, Mario still manages to ground-pound all five sections of the hot tub, causing it to flip, sending Mario, Peach, Bowser, and Bowser Jr. falling to the ground. Mario and Peach land on an islet west of Delfino Plaza, where Mario also finds F.L.U.D.D lying on the ground, highly damaged from the fall and stress of the battle. F.L.U.D.D then asks if he had truly assisted Mario before shutting off. The two then watch as the final Shine Sprite falls to the [[Shine Gate]], restoring light to the island.

Mario and Peach are then seen at [[Sirena Beach]], Mario still upset his loss of F.L.U.D.D. Both then turn around to see the Toads that came with them to the island, one holding F.L.U.D.D., who is now fixed, and says, "The vacation starts now!"

The game removes most jumping, punching, and kicking abilities of the previous game and replaces them with F.L.U.D.D.'s powers. Mario can spray water at enemies and clear Graffiti. Expansion Nozzles for F.L.U.D.D. can make Mario hover in the air for a short while, make him run at a turbo speed, or rocket high up in the air, although Mario can hold only one Expansion Nozzle at a time. Water for F.L.U.D.D. can be refilled at any body of water in the game or with [[Water Bottle]]s. Mario can also ride Yoshis. In the Secret Levels of the game, Shadow Mario takes F.L.U.D.D. away from Mario, leaving him only with his basic jumping abilities and the [[Ground Pound]] to beat the stage. When Mario loses his cap in ''Super Mario Sunshine'', he takes damage from the sun.
