Topic: SMS:How do I "activate" the turbo nozle on Gelato Beach

[Sean White]

Concerning Super Mario Sunshine:
My turbo nozle on Gelato Beach (on the small island with the swing behind the start point) is a hologram on all 8 stages. I can't find other turbo nozles on Gelato Beach and I've gotten 105 shines in total. I have acquired all regular shines and I'm now going for the secret stages + the blue coins. There's a red paint triangle on the right side of Gelato Beach and the abscent of the turbo nozle is driving me CRAAAZY!!!!!
A big KUDOS to anyone who have the answer for this, since I have given up on ever getting it.

For the Turbo Nozzle in Gelato Beach. When you get to the top area with the ropes, keep heading along the top part of the hill. When you get to the end of it there should be a part where you can drop down, get a few coins, and get the Turbo Nozzle.

Also I got the red paint triangles on this level by spraying the ground and sliding all the way.

Thanx 4 your advice, but if you mean the litlle gap right under the "island" whit the very highest poles, the gap only contains 2 yellow coins (a blue was also present) but no turbo nozle.

And what about the hologram on the island with the swing? Any ideas??...Anyone.....

Anyway, I'll try and do the triangle in one of the harder wayz.

The holograms will stay holograms until you activate the real nozzle. Go all the way to the top of the island and get on the rope, walk almost all the way to the end at the ocean. A little before the edge there is a little cliff with the nozzle.

Thanx DRJ!!

Obviously I have been looking for it in the wrong place. -I can't wait till I find it now. I hate when something's "incomplete" in a game. I haven't played SMS for over ½ a year but now I've decided to get all 120 Shines. I don't understand why "everybody" complaints about this game (unless it's because it isn't BETTER that SM64...but that's a tough standard to meet any day of the week). I think it's brilliant, solid and beautifull.

Thanx again!!

-Also, I didn't know that he could glide ALL the way to the other side. I was gliding/hopping like a moron and barely made the blue coin from the red triangle, when I "discovered" this on the way back. You're totally right. The turbo nozle wasn't required for that. I love when I "discover" a new move or something late in the game. It makes me feel stupid, but it's always great to get something "new" from the game you thought you knew so well.
Like in Zelda WW, when I remembered that the graple hook could be used to steal items...After I completed the game. -So now my 2. quest involves a "brand new" graple hook. I ought to find this embaressing to admit but I still think it's great when it happens!!

Don't feel bad, that happens to me a lot, too.  Especially since I don't read the guides (funny, I just mentioned this in another thread).  In WW, I didn't know you could steal with the grappling hook, I'd forgotten about jumping, and I never knew you could hold R with the sail down to move slow like that.  So for the first half of the game I was using my sail and making huge jumps from one spot to another when I was trying to be precise.
