VERSION HISTORY:

3.9 (9/8/2002) Added the long-awaited Blue Coin Guide for Monte Village (and Corona Mountain too). So you can stop emailing me about it already! ;-) Let’s all thank Daniel Bloodworth for his amazing work on the Blue Coin Guide. Also fixed the spelling of Noki Bay, added a note about the US name of Dolphic Town (Delfino Plaza, yuck), and further clarified the nozzle unlocking stuff, which we basically still don’t understand. I’m hoping that the next update will be the final one.

3.8 (8/31/2002) Tons of small additions and revisions this time. Fixed the method for unlocking Yoshi and the other nozzles, added US names of Mare Bay and Monte Village, added a new Pachinko strategy, added info about saving after the final boss, reworded some Secrets info, added new info about Sliding, and fixed various formatting issues.

3.7 (8/29/2002) Added Blue Coin Guide for Mare Bay, along with some correcting some formatting stuff that had been causing problems for our GameFAQs readers. Due to an overwhelming number of emails about it, I also added an explanation of how to unlock Yoshi and the other two nozzles in three separate, easy-to-find locations. So please stop asking me about it. :-) Also added a note about Mamma Beach’s new US name (Gelato Beach) in a few appropriate locations. By the way, this guide is NOT authorized to be posted on CheatCC.com, so if you’re a fan of that site, you might want to tell them what a great idea it would be to quit stealing our content.

3.5 (8/22/2002) Added Blue Coin Guide for Sirena Beach, plus translated Story Titles! Also made another (final?) clarification to one of the Secrets. Currently investigating a third secret to possibly include in that section.

3.3 (8/15/2002) Added Blue Coin Guide for Pinna Park.

3.2 (8/14/2002) Clarified the sunglasses requirements, fixed some formatting problems, and added two more levels to the Blue Coin Guide.

3.0 (8/5/2002) Added first two sections of Daniel's Blue Coin Guide, deleted the pointless Conclusion, tweaked one of the Secrets, and made a few other minor edits.

2.6 (8/1/2002) Added strategy for the 100 Coins Shine in Monte Village.

2.5 (7/31/2002) Made numerous corrections to Controls and Moves, added three Shines to Dolphic Town Guide, and added several alternate methods to the Level-by-Level Walkthrough.

2.0 (7/30/2002) Added Dolphic Town (Hub) Walkthrough

1.2 (7/30/2002) Added info on Yoshi's juice colors and a tip for getting 100 coins in Bianco Hills.

1.1 (7/30/2002) Corrected a few typos and added the Back Flip to Controls and Moves.

1.0 (7/29/2002) First posting; basic walkthrough and controls and moves complete.

INTRODUCTION:

This FAQ/Walkthrough is for the Japanese version of Nintendo's latest masterpiece, Super Mario Sunshine. Our basic goal here is to provide a comprehensive guide to the game for when you get stuck. We don't recommend you print this guide out and use it constantly while you play...a very large part of enjoying this game is discovering things and figuring out puzzles on your own. Also keep in mind that Super Mario Sunshine (SMS) is very much a skill-based game, and although we can tell you how to accomplish something in general, it's up to you to actually be able to execute the task. Your best bet is to spend some time mastering the controls and all of Mario's new (and old) moves; otherwise you'll get nowhere in this game.
