Graffiti: Difference between revisions

'''Graffiti''' is one of the main types of [[goop]] that [[Bowser Jr.]] in his [[Shadow Mario]] disguise uses throughout ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. Bowser Jr.'s [[Magic Paintbrush]] has a seemingly endless supply of it, and it can be used to create other types of goop. For example, Shadow Mario is seen painting [[Rainbow M]]s with the Magic Paintbrush, which is tipped with graffiti. Graffiti has also appeared in some later games.

====''Super Mario Sunshine''====

In ''Super Mario Sunshine'', graffiti is usually painted on walls, though it also appears on other flat surfaces. [[Mario]] can clean it off of surfaces by spraying it with [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]], and he must do so all at once or the graffiti will regenerate once he stops spraying. It is most commonly seen in the form of '''M Graffiti''',<ref name=Versus>Loe, Casey. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Perfect Guide. Page 9.</ref> plain red paint in the shape of Shadow Mario's distinctive M signature, which also appears in the game's opening titles and is painted by Shadow Mario using regular goop on the [[Delfino Airstrip]] and in [[Delfino Plaza]], as well as with [[burning goop]] in [[Pianta Village]]. Cleaning M Graffiti usually rewards Mario with a [[Blue Coin]], except for the two M Graffitis painted on [[water]] tanks on the [[Delfino Airstrip]], which reward Mario with standard [[coin]]s instead. These M Graffitis are also the only graffitis in the game that reappear if Mario revisits the area.

Along with M Graffiti, graffiti also appears in the form of various paired symbols, known as '''Paired Graffiti'''.<ref name=Versus/> The symbols that appear are "×" (X Graffiti),<ref>Loe, Casey.

''Super Mario Sunshine'' Perfect Guide. Page 54.</ref> Like M Graffiti, Paired Graffiti is usually drawn in plain red paint, though [[Ricco Harbor]] contains dull green Paired Graffiti as well. When Mario cleans an instance of Paired Graffiti, a Blue Coin appears at the location (or former location) of the other symbol of the same design, which Mario has a limited time to collect. If Mario does not collect the Blue Coin in time, it disappears, and the graffiti he cleaned off reappears. He must then backtrack and clean the same graffiti a second time to make the Blue Coin appear once again. Two Blue Coins are obtainable for each pair of Paired Graffiti, one for each individual symbol.

Black graffiti is also used to deface the [[Shine Gate]]'s effigy as well as the bells inside Delfino Plaza's two bell towers. Mario can earn a [[Shine Sprite]] for cleaning the graffiti off the Shine Gate's effigy and each of the two bells.

The golden pipe in particular can be destroyed by Plessie, and if removed this way, it does not reappear until the current save file is reloaded. If entered, the pipe takes Mario to a bonus room filled with [[coin]]s that he can use to add [[list of power-ups|power-ups]] to the [[item storage]]. While the Warp Pipe can be reentered, the coins do not respawn until the save file is reloaded.
