löl! 2ter !

Wie ich hier sehe, ist hier nicht soviel los, oder? Naja, warum auch Jump&Runs, wenn' s Ego-Shooter gibt? Trotzdem bin ich auch an manchen Geschicklichkeitsspielen interressiert, mit denen man gut die Zeit vertreiben kann!

So, weil hier so wenig los ist, post ich einfach mal eine Komplettlösung bzw. Cheats..., die ich definitiv nicht benutze! Ich bin kein Cheater.

Some of the naming conventions used in this guide are my own concoction, others
are from the Japanese version, the long and short of it is you may not be able
to find something in this guide because I've called it something you weren't
expecting. Here are some terms I use in the guide, and what you might be
looking for:

Flood Attachments: These are the same as nozzles, and the correct spelling of
Mario's new companion's name is FLUDD.

Hover Attachment: Hover Nozzle

Propeller Attachment: Turbo Nozzle

Rocket Attachment: Rocket Nozzle

Dolphic Town: called Delphino Plaza in the U.S. version.

Mamma Beach: called Gelato Beach in the U.S. version.

Mare Bay: called Noki Bay in the U.S. version.

Monte Village: called Pianta Village in the U.S. version.

Fake Mario: called Shadow Mario in the U.S. version. (Fake Mario is a literal
translation of the Japanese name "Nise Mario")

Shell Dwellers: called Noki

Turnaround Jump: called a Side Somersault in the instruction manual.

Shine Monolith: called the Shine Gate in the U.S. version.

Pineapples without leaves: called Durians

The race levels: Your opponent is named Il Piantissimo



I won't go into the story of the game because the dialogue is in English even
in the import version. The game is organized into 7 main worlds. In order,
they are Bianco Hills, Ricco Harbor, Mamma Beach/Gelato Beach, Pinna Park,
Sirena Beach, Mare Bay/Noki Bay, and Monte Village/Pianta Village. Hopefully
everything is organized well enough that you can find what you're looking for.

SECTION 1: BASICS

This section will address some of the basic concepts of this game that are not
necessarily apparent to those who don't read Japanese.

1.1-Controls
If you've played Super Mario 64, you should already know how the controls work.
I'm not going to go into a lot of detail here. The important controls that
might not be so obvious are:

Turnaround Jump (Side Somersault): Even though this one is a rollover from
Mario 64, I'm mentioning it here because it is a good deal more useful and I
refer to it extensively throughout this guide. To do this, quickly reverse
directions with Mario, and while his body is still twisting around hit the A
button. This will give Mario's jump almost double height.

When swimming: Pressing the A button will make Mario kick, and thus swim
faster. While under water it also causes him to go upward. You can also use A
to jump out of water. For this to work you must be at the surface and still (or
at least not pressing the control stick in any direction.) Pressing the B
button will make Mario dive down, and travel in a forward and downward motion
when submerged.

When climbing (on grates): While vertical, the B button will make Mario
punch-this will knock enemies off the opposite side, and flip gates around. A
will make him jump off. (He will always kick off in a direction away from the
wall) While on top the ground-pound (press L while in the air) will knock off
enemies hanging to the grate below, and flip gates over. While hanging below,
the A button will punch enemies walking on the grate above, and flip gates.
The B button will make Mario let go of the grate. Spraying a grate that has a
circle-arrow pattern will make it flip in the direction indicated by the
arrows.

When on tightropes: While hanging, press A to hop up onto the rope. The game
will compensate if you're not pushing in exactly the right direction so you can
get away with going pretty fast. The tightropes work like springboards, so if
you're out in the middle of them, you can jump really high. Repeating this
will make your jump even higher.

1.2-Grafitti
Pretty much everywhere but the Airport, spraying an "M" graffiti off will
result in a Blue coin popping out. In pretty much every level you will see
graffiti painted in various shapes-X, Circle, Triangle, etc. There are always
two with the same shape. Spraying one off will cause a Blue Coin to pop out
where the other one is. You have to race to the other location to get your
coin because if you don't make it in a certain amount of time, the coin
disappears and you have to start over.

[johndoe-freename-37348]

1.3-Flood Attachments
Throughout the game, you'll encounter boxes that are colored either Blue, Red,
or White. These are for switching the attachment on Flood. You start the game
with, and use mostly the hover attachment; this is what's in the blue box. The
Red box gives flood a Rocket attachment, and the White/Gray box gives flood a
Propeller attachment. When you first encounter the Red and White boxes in each
level, they'll probably be see-through and not much help. In each of the
levels you see these, there's one box somewhere that isn't transparent. Most
often you will have to unlock it during another Story. Unlocking that one will
unlock all the others of the same color, and the game will be saved to make
sure you have them each additional time you enter that particular world. Hint:
you can get more height on the Rocket blast if you jump right before it goes
off.

1.4-Preludes and Signs
Each time you start a section of the game, you'll see a little prelude of the
level. Pay attention to this as it often gives you insight into your
objective. Also, on most levels where it isn't painfully obvious what you're
supposed to do, there will be signs with arrows painted on them. Follow these,
and you'll invariably end up where you're supposed to be. Keep in mind,
however, that the signs show you one particular way to go, not necessarily the
best.

1.5 Yoshi
When you complete Pinna Park Story 4, Yoshi will become part of the story. The
egg will have a dream cloud showing a certain kind of fruit. Bring that fruit
to the egg and the Yoshi will hatch. Yoshi comes in pink, purple and orange.
His color depends on what kind of fruit he eats. Press B to use Yoshi's tongue
to eat just about anything (including birds). Eating a pineapple without leaves
or a chili pepper will make him purple. Eating a bunch of bananas or a green
melon will make him pink. Eating a pineapple with leaves or yellow melon will
make him orange. You can mount Yoshi by jumping onto him; you can dismount him
by pressing the X button. Yoshi sprays fruit juice by pressing the R button.
Holding A after jumping will cause him to paw the air and gain a little
altitude (just like in Yoshi's Island). Most importantly, Yoshi's vitality is
linked to his stomach. When you're on him, you'll see a little lemon-shaped
gauge called Juice. This will gradually run out over time. If you don't
revitalize Yoshi by eating another fruit, the meter will empty out, say Hungry,
and Yoshi will vanish. Yoshi also can't live in water. If he falls in, he'll
vanish. Juice from a Yoshi is the only thing that can dissolve that wavy
yellow orange lava-like stuff on some of the buildings.

1.6 Blue Coins
Every section of the game except for the Secret stages will contain blue coins.
Each world has 30 Blue Coins. Dolphic Town has 20 and there are 10 in Corona
Mountain. Every time you get one, you will be asked to save the game. Ten
coins can be traded at the shack on the southwest pier of Dolphic Town, for a
Shine. These are important so pick them up wherever you see them. There are
so many Blue Coins that to describe the location of every one is beyond the
scope of this document.

1.6.1 Blue Coin Tips
If you're having trouble finding Blue Coins, here are some general tips.
1)Try eating anything Blue with Yoshi (Birds, Bees, Butterflies)
2)Try spraying anything that looks suspect (Windows, Pots, Blocks of Ice,
Fires, Candlesticks, Flowerbeds, Sand on the Beach, Sprouts sticking up out of
the ground.).
3)Take a good look at the cliff face to the left in Mare Bay Story 2. Some Blue
Coins are hiding in the recesses that open when you spray the brown tiles--so
as you can tell, some Blue Coins are only available in certain Stories.
4)Try killing/eating every enemy in a stage.
5)Try talking to everyone-especially people you have just cleaned off or
extinguished.
6)There are three ladies in Dolphic Town, and one on the island to the west
with baskets next to them. Putting three of the kind of the fruit they want
into their baskets will get you a Blue Coin. The one on the island wants the
Green Melons. The one just to the south of the harbor (close to the entrance to
Sirena Beach) wants Bananas. The one to the East of the harbor (with the raised
basket) wants Pineapple with Leaves. The one to the west of the harbor (with
the basket on the ground like a soccer goal) wants a Pineapple without Leaves.
Hint: if you press the A button as you're about to kick the Pineapple without
Leaves, you'll kick it much farther, and hopefully across the bay.
7)Examine situations from every angle. Go into first person mode and look
around when you're inside huts and other buildings.
Spray the yellow wavy crud with Yoshi's juice. Also try to spray the beaches
with Yoshi's juice, it will uncover some things that Flood won't.

1.7 Saving
Most people probably don't need to know this, but I'll include it just in case.
When you first start the game you'll get a blue dialog box asking if you would
like to create a Mario Sunshine save. If you're using a memory card formatted
for the US, beware, this is asking you if you'd like to format the card and
delete all the existing data. The answer in the left is yes, the answer on the
right is no.

Each time you begin the game, Mario will be in front of 3 blocks. This is how
you select which save you want to use. The black box that pops up has the
options from top to bottom: Start, Copy, Delete, Score.

[johndoe-freename-37348]

Usually when a straight blue dialog box pops up it means the game is asking you
to save. This will happen automatically when: 1) You acquire a Shine 2) You
acquire a Blue Coin 3) You unlock a Flood attachment. The blue dialog box has
3 lines. The choices from top to bottom are: Save and Continue, Save and Quit,
or Continue Without Saving.

Also, any time you pause the game, you will be given two or three options. The
top one is simply Continue, the bottom is Save. The third one will take you
back to Dolphic Town. If you choose to save, the game will ask you if you want
to overwrite your old save-Yes is on the left, No is on the right. If you
choose Yes, you will be asked another question-Do you want to continue playing.
Again, Yes is left, No is right.

1.8 Gold Coins
Collecting 50 Gold Coins during any stage will get you a 1-UP. Collecting 100
or more gold coins in any level, including the 8 main levels, the Airport, and
Dolphic Town, will earn you a Shine.

1.9 Birds, Bees, and Butterflies
When you encounter birds (not seagulls), you can spray them off or eat them
with Yoshi for prizes. Yellow/Gold birds will give up a Shine. Blue birds will
give up a Blue Coin, and Orange birds will give up a gold coin.

When you encounter Bees, make sure you have Yoshi. Use Yoshi to eat the bees
that are buzzing around outside of the hive, then spray the hive until it falls
to the ground. Eat all of the bees that come at you, and you'll get different
prizes. Sometimes you get a Gold Coin, others you get a Blue Coin.

When you encounter Butterflies, make sure you have Yoshi. Use Yoshi to eat the
Butterflies, the blue ones have Blue Coins.

1.10 Shine Totals
Before you read this, please understand that I haven't actually confirmed this
as solid fact, because I haven't acquired absolutely everything in the game
yet. This is based on a general consensus and logic.
2.1-AIRPORT/DELFINO AIRSTRIP

2.1.1 Airport Part 1
This is the smallest area in the game. This is a good place to get accustomed
to the controls if you want. You start by the plane on the end of the runway.
There's a bunch of goop on the runway that you can easily walk around.
Continue further in toward the buildings and walk up to the blue and yellow
thing. This is where you get Flood. The tutorial he gives you is in English
so I'll spare you. You'll notice "M"'s with two dots above them. If you spray
them off here, you can get coins. Now proceed back to the goopy stuff in the
runway. The objective here is to use Flood to spray the pulsing mass in the
center. Eventually this will cause a goop-covered Piranha Plant to emerge.
Spray it in the mouth when the mouth opens. Do this 3 times and you will
defeat it. The rest of the paint will clear, and there should emerge your
first shine. When you grab it (As when you grab any shine) the game will pop
up your first save dialogue box. See 1.7.

2.1.2 Airport Revisited
This area is accessable after finishing the game once. You will find a guy
with sunglasses standing in front of a boat docked at the pier to the southwest
of Dolphic Town. Pay him 10 gold coins and he'll take you back to the Airport.
This is a Red Coin stage. In order to activate the Red Coin Switch, unlock the
propeller attachment. When you hit the switch, you'll be given a time limit in
which to get all 8 coins. Start by blasting straight through the double-doors
on the building in the center of the Airport, and just follow the coin trail
around the Airport.


2.2-DOLPHIC TOWN/DELFINO PLAZA

Dolphic Town will change slightly as you obtain more Shines and complete
certain events.

For FLUDD Nozzles see section 2.2.2 events 8 & 9.

2.2.1 Miscellaneous Shines throughout Dolphic Town.
You will probably do these in a different order; they have been numbered merely
to make my job easier. Some of them will require Flood attachments or Yoshi.
So, of course you won't be able to do them until you have unlocked these
things. See 2.2.2 for details on this.

Shine 1
Go to the northeast corner of town and make your way out over platforms
sticking out of the water. Jump into the warp pipe on the far platform.
Survive the slide to the end and get your Shine.

Shine 2
Find a villager standing on top of a building to the west of the waterfall.
Agree to pay him a gold coin, and he'll chuck you through a window and to your
Shine.

Shine 3
Secret Red Coin Stage. Jump on top of the boat as it is leaving the harbor to
the west. You will pass under a trellis on your way out. Jump straight up
where the coin is, and you'll be taken to a stage where Mario becomes a
pinball. This one explains itself. Get the coins; the star will appear in the
middle slot.

Shine 4
Spray the beach to the south of the lighthouse (northeast of town). You should
see a Shine insignia underneath the sand. Keep spraying that spot, and a Shine
will appear.

Shines 5 & 6
Enter the building just to the west of the harbor through the black door. Talk
to the guy standing in front of the crates. The object here is to pound all of
the crates in the allotted time. You get a Shine the first two times you
succeed.

Shine 7
Clean the bell in the southwestern corner of Dolphic Town. The Shine will
appear inside the tower. Go to the building directly north of the bell tower
and look for a manhole cover on the roof. Ground-pound the manhole cover to
get to the sewer below. Go south to get underneath the bell tower jump up out
of the manhole. This is easiest to do with the Rocket attachment, but can be
done without it if you're any good at wall kicks.

Shine 8
Go to the bell tower in the southeastern corner of Dolphic Town. You have to
have the rocket attachment for this one. Blast up to the bell, clean it, and
then blast up to the rooftop, and blast up to your Shine.(It's possible to get
to the bell and clean it without the Rocket attachment, but the Shine appears
Way above the bell tower, and that' impossible to reach without the Rocket
attachment.)

Shine 9
With the Rocket attachment, jet up to the giant Shine Monolith that sits over
the waterfall in the middle of Dolphic Town. Spray the Giant Shine clean, and
then boost up to the top of the monolith to claim your Shine.

Shine 10
With the Propeller attachment, blast through the door on the north side of the
bell tower in the southeast corner of town.

Shine 11
Hidden Red Coin stage. With the Propeller attachment, blast through the door
with the two guys standing on either side. The door is in the north building
one row to the east of the harbor.

Shine 12
Using the Rocket attachment, blast up to the top of the lighthouse on the
northeast beach. Once on top, Rocket blast again, and while still high in the
air ground-pound, and drop down on the black disc with the red fireball symbol.

Shine 13
Hidden Red Coin stage. Get Yoshi and head out to the northwest end of Dolphic
Town. On the outcropping just south of the cannon that sends you to Pinna
Park, ground-pound the manhole cover and go into the sewer. Head straight west
until you come up to the little island with the woman and her basket. One of
the boats that come by will sail around the shore in a counter-clockwise
direction. Grab Yoshi a fruit and hop onto the roof of that boat. Ride the
boat all the way out to the platform with the bananas. Jump to the platform,
grab the bananas and wait for the next boat (it will pass the platform to the
south). Try to grab a banana just before you jump off so you don't lose Yoshi
to starvation. The boat should take you to the island to the southeast of
Dolphic Town where the green pipe is. Once you spray the orange wavy lava stuff
with Yoshi's juice, you can jump down the pipe. This one is HARD. The object
is to propel yourself on a lilly pad down the canal and steer into 6 red coins.
You cannot reverse directions if you miss one. Falling in the water will kill
you instantly. The seventh coin is the hardest to get because you have to jump
while riding the lilly pad to get it. If you don't get all the coins on the
first pass, DO NOT EXIT THROUGH THE PIPE ON THE OTHER SIDE. Doing that will
set you back in Dolphic Town, and you'll have to do the whole thing with Yoshi
all over again. If you miss them, it is possible to drop down to the wall of
the canal, and walk all the way back to the beginning and try again. I could
not manage to get the 7th coin while on the lilly pad. I had to walk out on
the edge, jump to it, and boost back to the edge.

[johndoe-freename-37348]

Shine 14
Hidden Red Coin stage. Get the rocket pack, and head to the northwest end of
Dolphic Town (by the red cannon that shoots you to Pinna Park) Dive into the
water, and follow the coast north. You'll notice some palm trees growing out
of the cliff face. Just before the last palm tree, you should see a bump in
the cliff face. Swim up to this bump, and start charging your Rocket. Just
before it goes off, jump out of the water. The rocket should shoot you
straight up to a little outcropping with a green pipe sticking out of it.
Enter the pipe for the Hidden Red Coin stage. The main difficulty here is
seeing what's going on despite the extremely tall grass. If you zoom all the
way out, you should get a top-down view that will make it a little easier.
Most of the Red Coins are hidden. Extinguish the man on fire. Defeat the
various enemies. (Hint: to kill the little black things that spit rocks and
dirt at you when you get close, spray them before you get close, and they'll
get dizzy, then just jump on them) Spray the red bird. Look for a hole in the
ground near one of the corners-the one with the square watermelon thing in it.
Drop through the hole, and head toward the edge of the platform. Be careful not
to fall off:-)

Shine 15
Spray or use Yoshi to eat the Gold Bird flying around the island to the
southeast of Dolphic Town (same location as Shine 11) If you don't see the
bird, try swiming out west of the island (toward the little raised platform),
you might see it down in the water there. Just getting near it will stir it
up.

Shine 16
Collect 100 gold coins in Dolphic Town or the Airport revisited.


2.2.2 Dolphic Town Events

I had a hard time deciding which order to put the Shine locations and the Event
sequence, but the Shine locations seemed a little harder to figure out so I
thought you'd need them first. The events in Dolphic Town will unfold pretty
much automatically as you acquire Shines.

Event 1
This happens right after the Airport. The prelude to the level will show you
another puddle of paint at the southern part of the island. Head there to find
a familiar pulsing blob. This is pretty similar to the last Piranha Plant
except that these little galaxy-ghost looking things will spawn from the goop
and come after you. You can actually stand safely in the dolphin fountain and
nail him from there if you like.

Event 2
Vanquishing the Piranha Plant will cause a large statue to emerge, and on top
of it, you'll be introduced to one of the game's new villains. He's an evil
blue Nise or "Fake" Mario. He runs and grabs the princess. Chase him,
spraying as you go (Just don't push the R button down all the way because Mario
will stop running.) Keep following him until you run him down. He'll drop the
Princess. When you chase him again, he'll run to the front of the statue and
paint a large psychedelic "M" that he'll disappear into. Spray the "M" off and
jump in front of it. It will suck you in to Bianco Hills.

Event 3
After you get 3 Shines: The prelude will show you a pile of goop on the pier to
southwest of town. Defeat the goop covered Piranha plant to reveal a hut with
a large "M" on it. This is how you access Ricco Harbor. Go into the door on
the south side of the hut to meet a couple of Chinese Racoons that will trade
Shines for Blue Coins at the rate of one Shine for ten Blue Coins.

Event 4
After you get 5 Shines: The prelude will show you a pile of black goop on the
northeastern beach. This is yet another goop covered Piranha plant. The
strategy is basically the same. Defeating it will uncover the lighthouse.
Jumping through the "M" on the lighthouse will transport you to Mamma Beach.

Event 5
After you get 10 Shines, the prelude will show a Koopa-ish boat coming in on
the northwest end of town. Hurry there, and watch the cinema scene. This is
pretty much the only mystery in the game so I won't spoil it by telling what
happens. Suffice it to say that when you're done, you'll have access to the
cannon that will shoot you to Pinna Park.

Event 6
After you get 20 Shines the prelude will show the Shine symbol in front of the
dolphin fountain on the east side of the harbor. You should see a cascade of
shimmering light coming down. Stand on the symbol, and look up into the sun to
be transported to Mare Bay.

[johndoe-freename-37348]

Event 7
After completing Pinna Park Story 4 Yoshi appears in Dolphic Town, chase Fake
Mario down to free him. Unlocking Yoshi here should unlock him throughout the
rest of the game.

Event 8
You must have acquired Yoshi, and at least 25 Shines. Whenever you meet both
requirements, the next time you enter Dolphic Town, Fake Mario will show up.
Chase him down to unlock the Propeller attachment in Dolphic Town.

Event 9
You must have acquired Yoshi, and the Propeller attachment in Dolphic Town, and
have at least 30 Shines. Whenever you have met all 3 requirements, the next
time you enter Dolphic Town, Fake Mario will show up. Chase him down to unlock
the Rocket attachment in Dolphic Town.

Event 10
Dolphic town is flooded. This happens once you have completed story 7 in all 7
worlds. Consequently the minimum number of Shines you can reach this part with
is 50. Chase Fake Mario into the cave behind the Shine Monolith.



2.3 BIANCO HILLS

Bianco Hills is accessible by warping through the "M" on at the base of the
statue at the southern end of Dolphic Town.

The Secret Shines in this stage are the Red Coin Challenge stages - Story 3 and
Story 6.

Fludd Nozzles/Attachments:

Rocket: Story 5 - Located across the shallow end of the pond on wooden
platforms.

Turbo/Propeller: Story 6 - Located in front of the entrance to the secret
stage.

2.3.1 Bianco Hills Story 1:
Follow the path in front of you. To your right you'll notice a white wall.
After the first cylindrical structure, you need to get on the other side of
this wall. There are a number of ways to accomplish this, probably the easiest
is to jump up on the wall while it's still pretty short and just follow it
around. (If that's too difficult for you at first, just follow the wall until
you come across a large wooden mill wheel, and jump on one of the spokes to
ride it to the other side) Once on the other side you'll see a path leading
through a bunch of palm trees. (This will be to your right if you went over the
wall at the wheel) At the end of it, you should see muddy balls being rolled
down a hill one at a time. Follow the balls to their source-it is another
Piranha Plant. You know the drill.

2.3.2 Bianco Hills Story 2:
Again, get on the other side of the wall to the right of the path. Follow the
path that emerged when you killed the Piranha Plant from the previous level.
It should lead you all the way up to the Windmill. Catch a lift on one of the
platforms at the tips of the windmill blades. On top of the Windmill you'll
see a giant Piranha Plant. Jump toward him. This will take you to the boss
fight. Spray water in his mouth when he opens it up to vomit more mud. When
he falls over, ground-pound his belly. Do this three times and you're done.

2.3.3 Bianco Hills Story 3:
You have to get to the little cave on in the bank on the right of this level.
Again, you're going to have to go past the white wall on your right. Get to
the bank directly across from the palm trees. There are other ways, but the
simplest is to swim across the water and wall-kick off of the post the boost
toward the white wall to get to the next level. Then do a turnaround jump
(where you quickly switch directions and jump) to grab the tightrope. Bounce
up and go through the cave entrance. The game calls these levels Himitsu or
"Secret" stages. My wife prefers to call them Panic levels because I can't
seem to play one without getting sweaty palms. Nothing special here. Just
make your way to the Shine and try not to fall:-) See 2.11.2 for info on what
to do when you come back here after finishing the game.

2.3.4 Bianco Hills Story 4:
This is the first of many Red Coin levels. The objective is to find 8 Red
coins. Most of these are in pretty obvious locations, so I won't bore you with
those. ALL of the red coins in this Story are on the left side of the wall, so
don't waste your time on the right. The one I had the hardest time finding was
the one in the doorway on the white wall. Follow the wall on the right until
you come to the archway with the bells. Just a little past that, there's
another archway, and that's where the coin is. The left of the first two
buildings you encounter (with the double-tightrope) has a coin all the way at
the top. There is a coin close to both windmills. The rest are in plain
sight. Get the coins and the shine will appear. You can get it by climbing
the building with the two gazebo-looking things and following the tightrope all
the way up. Just jump in place when the little electrical thing comes at you,
and it'll go right past.

2.3.5 Bianco Hills Story 5:
Again, head to the section on the right of the wall. Go to the same spot you
were in Story 3. You should see some new platforms now, and there's a red
Rocket box. Jump on it, and grab the rocket. Your game will ask you to save.
Now, head back to the other side of the white wall. If you head straight to
the back of this level, you should see a wide ledge on the green hill that you
can use the rocket to get up (Yes, there are other ways to get up there). The
ledge is covered in mud, so be careful. Go up several tiers until you come to
the place that the level prelude showed you with that overgrown Piranha Plant.
He's on a platform out over a ravine. You should see some pink Kirby-looking
things congregating. When you start to use Flood, one of these things will
attach to the nozzle. When you spray it will fill up with water, and when you
let up the R button, it will shoot off. Use one of these to hit the Piranha
Plant and disturb its nap. (If you're having difficulty because your
Kirby-things are hitting the fence, try lining up the shot in first person
mode, then switching back to third person mode, and jumping just before you
shoot.) Once you wake up the plant, it'll fly all over the place. Spray it to
knock it out of the air, and just like in Story 2, fill its mouth up with
water, and pound it's belly when it rolls over. It has a new whirlwind attack,
so watch out. Defeating this boss will earn you the shine, of course.

2.3.6 Bianco Hills Story 6:
The objective is another Secret stage. This time the entrance is to the right
of the white wall, and across the pond behind the Windmill. The water is
toxic, so don't land in it. The way you're supposed to do this is to ride the
lilly pads around the pond. A word on lilly pads--to move them, spray in the
opposite direction you want to go (you'll get the idea) and they only last a
certain amount of time, so get fresh ones as you go. Ride the pads around
behind the Windmill to the far wall, and jump off onto the logs. If you're
careful, you can turnaround jump and boost your way up to the ledge. Activate
the Propeller attachment for Flood, and enter the Secret stage. The goal is
always the same here. Get past the obstacles and to the Shine without falling
off. Hint: You'll need to do some wall kicks to get across the gaps. See 2.11.2
for info on what to do when you come back here after finishing the game.


2.3.7 Bianco Hills Story 7:
This is the first of several Stories where the objective is to chase down Fake
Mario. The strategy is to stay behind him and keep spraying. He likes to try
to fake you out by quickly reversing directions etc. If you lose him, just
wander around until you hear the underworld music again--the louder the music,
the closer he is. This is pretty basic, so it's the last time I'll explain it.

2.3.8 Bianco Hills Story 8:
This is another Red Coin level. They're all in plain sight on the tightropes
on the right side of the wall. I'll let you figure the rest out. A word of
caution: Little gusts of wind will form and attack you. Listen to the sound
they make. They make a higher-pitched noise when they're about to attack. If
you jump right when you hear the sound, they should miss you. Once you get all
of the Red Coins, the shine should appear in the little recess in the front of
the Windmill. There's no real trick to getting this. Just like in Story 2,
you can hitch a lift on the windmill platforms and jump to the ledge.

2.4 RICCO HARBOR

Ricco Harbor can be entered by jumping through the "M" on the hut on the pier
to the southwest of Dolphic Town.

The Secret Shines in this area are: Beat 40 seconds the second time through in
the squid race in Story 2, and the Red Coin Challenge in Story 4.

Fludd Nozzles/Attachments:

Rocket: Story 3 - Located on the scaffolding on the way up. Follow the arrow
signs, and you can't miss it.

Turbo/Propeller: Story 7 - Located inside the cage of the first boat.

2.4.1 Ricco Harbor Story 1
Follow the signs, and they'll lead you to the upper left section of the harbor.
(If you're having difficulty navigating the grates, you might want to read 1.1
the section about climbing, or you can go to the lower section of the harbor to
the left of the first boat, stand on top of the crates closest to the wall,
turnaround jump, and boost to the next level) Don't try to swim in the black
inky water, it'll take life points. (Hint: if you do fall in the middle of the
inky water, dive down; it will only hurt you on the surface) Keep in mind there
is almost always more than one way to get where you're going. Once you've
negotiated the obstacle course and arrived on the upper left section, you'll
find a pile of crates with a tentacle sticking out of it. Approach the
tentacle and press B to grab hold of it. Holding the B button, pull back until
the tentacle pops off. This will cause the Giant Squid to erupt out of the
pile of crates. To fight the squid, first spray it in the face until you wash
all the ink off and then run right up to it. Its tentacles will whip outward
and then come crashing down on where you're standing. Just jump as you see
them approaching and they should miss you. Then grab the little cork in its
nose, and pull back as far as you can. Eventually the nose will snap and
flatten him. He will come back to life, and spew ink all over. Just repeat
the first step again, and you'll send him sailing.

2.4.2 Ricco Harbor Story 2
Head to the right of the entrance, and you should come upon a bunch of logs
leading to a little platform with squids on it. The different colored squids
are different speeds. The green ones seem to be slowest, the purple seem to be
the fastest, and the yellow are in between. To ride one, just walk up to it and
it'll launch off the platform with you on it. (Important to know-you can jump
the squid to clear obstacles, and you can slow the squid by pulling back on the
control stick, you can likewise speed it up by pushing forward) Once on the
squid, follow the trail of coins into the drain at the back of the harbor.
Once there, you have to race a squid around an obstacle course. You have to
finish it in less than 45 seconds to get the Shine. You can get a second Shine
here by finishing the race a second time in less than 40 seconds.

2.4.3 Ricco Harbor Story 3
There's a big yellow cage in the center of the scaffolding. If you follow the
signs, you can unlock the Rocket attachment. Hint: the cursive "M" pads are
trampolines. You can grab on to the candy-cane looking crane hooks, and kick
off of them just like a grate. Just follow arrows around the catwalks up into
the mouth of the bottle-shaped cage. Drop through to get your Shine.

2.4.4 Ricco Harbor Story 4
This is another Secret stage. Just to the left of the entrance to this level
is a lighthouse-like tower. The entrance to the Secret stage is at the top.
There are a number of ways to get up there. The easiest is if you unlocked the
Rocket attachment in the previous level. There's also wall kicks, and boosting
from the adjacent scaffolding. Watch out for the gusts. See 2.11.2 for info on
what to do when you come back here after finishing the game.


2.4.5 Ricco Harbor Story 5
Defeat the Giant squid on top of the Helipad. Either grab the Rocket attachment
directly below the helipad, and launch up to the grate beneath, or, use a
combination of boosting and wall kicks to get on top of the curved brick
structure just after the "Fruits" canisters, and boost across the gap. Defeat
the squid the same way you did the first time in 2.4.1.

2.4.6 Ricco Harbor Story 6
This is a Red Coin level. Go to the right of the entrance to the same squid
platform from 2.4.2. This time, ground-pound the red switch block before you
grab a ride. You have a time limit, so watch your clock. Even with the time
limit, I recommend that you use the green squid for better handling. If you
follow the coin trail, it should lead you to almost all of the Red Coins.
Three of them are a little out of the way. Look for one under a red platform,
one between two boats with two supports in between them (This is off to the
left of the coin trail when you first head out), and look for one you have to
jump to get. Believe it or not, the tricky part is getting back to the Shine
once you've unlocked it without getting killed. You have to jump at the
absolute last second to get back onto the platform you launched the squid from
and grab your Shine.

2.4.7 Ricco Harbor Story 7
Get Fake Mario. This is the stage where you unlock the propeller attachment.
It's in the first ship inside the grate cage. Hint: If you lose Fake Mario in
the chase, he's probably on the scaffolding above you. You can get there by
jumping from the first ship's smokestack.

2.4.8 Ricco Harbor Story 8
Make your way to the upper left part of the harbor (where you fought the Giant
Squid in 2.4.1). There's a fruit-dispensing machine there. (If you don't
recognize it from the prelude, there are two canisters with the word "Fruits"
painted on them. On the tops of these are switches operated by
ground-pounding. They work like a toggle switch-pounding one resets the other.
There will be a Yoshi egg a little further on. Keep pounding those fruit out
until you get the pineapple without leaves. Kick it over to hatch the Yoshi.
It's important that this Yoshi remains purple for now, so if you've got other
fruit lying around, don't eat it. Now all the way at the end of the harbor,
you'll see some fish jumping just beyond the ledge. Spraying them with purple
juice from Yoshi will turn them into platforms. The reason that it is
important that he remain purple is that different juice will make the platforms
do different things. Purple juice will make the platforms move forward,
backward or side to side on the same level. Pink juice will make the platforms
go up, and orange will make the platform stationary. Where you hit the fish
with the juice will determine where the platform starts, so be careful to hit
them low enough that you can still reach them by jumping. Once you make it out
to the first metal platform, there is a ledge to the left with a tree. Jump to
that platform to get a green melon (knock it off the tree by spraying it). Eat
this to turn Yoshi Pink. You should then be able to jump back to the first
metal platform and make your way to the top one by turning the fish into
raising platforms. Spray off the little wavy yellow orange lava blob, dismount
Yoshi, and get your Shine.

2.5 MAMMA BEACH/GELATO BEACH

Mamma Beach can be reached by jumping into the "M" at the base of the Light
House on the northeast beach in Dolphic Town.

The first Secret Shine is the Red Coin Challenge in Story 1. The second is just
past the pavilion in the center of the beach. Spray the sprout that creates a
stairway going down, and spray the Shine insignia on the wall at the bottom.

Fludd Nozzles/Attachments:

Turbo/Propeller: Story 4. Located in a recess on the grassy hill to the left.
Follow the upper path that leads to the ampitheater. One of the grassy slides
between the paths will lead to a tightrope pole. This is where the box is
located.

Rocket: Story 5. Located in a recess on the grassy hill to the right. The
easiest way is to follow the hill on the right up to the second tier, from
there turn around and look back along the wall. You should see a ledge with
some coins. That's where the box is.

2.5.1 Mamma Beach Story 1
This is a Secret stage. To open the entrance, make your way across the beach
to the sprout shown to you in the prelude. (It's the one closest to the
peninsula to the left.) Water it by spraying it with flood, and it will cause
a sand castle to appear at the end of the peninsula. The entrance is the door
to the castle (Indicated by the large flashing arrow). You have a limited
amount of time to reach it before the sand castle crumbles. The light brown
blocks in this level will dissolve if you stand on them, but they'll come back
after a bit.

2.5.2 Mamma Beach Story 2
There's a giant centipede sunning itself on top of the pavilion straight ahead
of you. There are a bunch of giant annoying round walking duckbilled thingies
stomping around the three swivel-mirrors. The object here is to spray the
little goobers (one at a time) to the edge until they teeter on one foot.
While it's teetering, go somewhere on the opposite hemisphere of the mirror and
ground pound. This will launch the bugger off of the mirror. When you've done
this to all three mirrors, they'll shatter the thing the centipede is on,
blowing it to pieces and producing your Shine.

2.5.3 Mamma Beach Story 3
Remember that centipede from last story? Well, he's back and he's kinda mad.
He stampedes around the beach in a set pattern. Watch for him to pass by the
first sprout out in front of you. Water it so that it erupts just as he's
passing by. This will knock him on his back. Hover up or turnaround jumps onto
his belly and ground-pound. This makes him madder. He'll start to run faster.
You may have to pick another sprout to get him again. Smash him 3 times for
your Shine. It should appear where the castle from Story 1 was.

2.5.4 Mamma Beach Story 4
A Secret and Red Coin stage. The entrance is the hole at the top of the
pavilion. Go straight ahead, and up the two levels. Follow the ridge on your
right until you come to what looks like a cave entrance. Water the sprout to
produce a set of stairs. Follow the path to the thing that looks like a set of
amphitheater seats (A half-circle of steps). It should drop off in a green
slope. Follow the coin trail and jump just as it ends to make it to the
trampoline and jump through the hole. This level can be very intimidating.
There are two pieces of advice I have for it. One, the clouds are solid enough
for you to stand on. Two, when the bird starts to tilt sharply, stand by its
neck-that's the most stable part--you can just walk over to the side of its
neck, and then back when it levels out to stay on it all the way to the top.
If you get stranded on a cloud, don't worry, the bird will come back down.

2.5.5 Mamma Beach Story 5
This is the first of many race levels. Approach the little purple guy on the
beach and he'll challenge you to a race. Remember the amphitheater seats from
the last Story? The flag you're racing to is right in the middle of that place.
Follow the same path as in 2.5.4 except the sprout is gone so you'll have to
use wall-kicks to get up to the path that leads to the amphitheater. Or, if
you've unlocked the Rocket attachment that can make your trip up very fast.
Beat him, and you'll get a Shine.

2.5.6 Mamma Beach Story 6
This is a Red Coin level. They're located in the reef all the way to the left
of the start of the level. The coins can be tricky to get. Sometimes they'll
disappear into walls, or even swim away from you!

2.5.7 Mamma Beach Story 7
Get Fake Mario.

2.5.8 Mamma Beach Story 8
This is all about the biggest watermelon. The proprietor of the little bar on
the pier all the way to the left of the entrance wants the biggest watermelon
for his juicer, because only the biggest one will taste good. The biggest
watermelon is also the most annoying to get. There are actually 3 watermelons.
The biggest one is in the amphitheater. A word on Watermelon safety: kicking
them, smacking them into walls or sharp objects or pushing them into the
annoying round duck-billed things will result in explosion. Pushing gently or
spraying are the preferred methods of transport. Push the melon all the way to
the bar and up the pier to the proprietor. Viola, the melon is blended, and
the Shine appears. (Strange that you have to do tricks for these people to get
the Shines that you're giving back to them. Kind of like the government that
way:-)

2.6 PINNA PARK

Pinna Park is accessed by jumping into the red cannon to the northwest of
Dolphic Town. The 2 Secret Shines in this area are the Red Coin Challenge
stages - Story 2 and Story 6.

2.6.1 Pinna Park Story 1
Follow Fake Mario into the park and into the pool to the left. He'll part the
pool and produce a Gigantic Robot Mecha-Koopa. You'll have to ride the Jet
Coaster, and pick up missiles. Aim the missiles at the Mecha and launch them
with R. Watch out, because Mecha-Koopa will launch missile bills at you.
They'll follow along the track before and behind you. You can take them out by
spraying them with water. After taking several hits (I haven't actually
counted) Mecha-Koopa will be toast.

2.6.2 Pinna Park Story 2
Secret stage. To the right of the entrance there's a mole firing Missile Bills
at you. Get up close to him and he'll start lobbing bob-ombs at you. Spray
these to turn them blue, then pick them up with B and lob them back at him.
Three hits will take him out. Jumping into the cannon is the entrance to the
Secret stage. See 2.11.2 for info on what to do when you come back here after
finishing the game.

2.6.3 Pinna Park Story 3
Find the Red Coins. All of the coins are inside the amusement park. Easy to
see, not so easy to get. I'm not going to into detail here for the time being.

2.6.4 Pinna Park Story 4
Go along the beach to the right of the entrance. You'll see several things
that look like big white eggs with green spots. Spray them until they pop out.
They're actually really weird turtles. Walk away from them, and they'll launch
into the air. As one of my deft readers pointed out, the trick is to get them
to land in the sand. That way, when they land, they land on their backs.
Ground-pound their bellies and they're history. This will revive the flowers.
Repeat until you run out of turtle shells, and you'll revive the big flower and
get your Shine. Completing this level seems to be what unlocks Yoshi.

[johndoe-freename-37348]

2.6.5 Pinna Park Story 5
The ferris wheel in the park is out of control because of the big electric
turtle on the motor. There are several ways to get up to the top. Since the
ferris wheels won't hit you (you can jump through them like they're not there)
my preferred method is to go to the grate platform where the Jet Coaster track
peaks, and do a jump and boost across to the front of the ferris wheel tower. I
believe the prescribed method is to make your way up the grates on the back of
the ferris wheel tower. There's a tightrope right underneath the big electric
turtle. Stand in the middle of it and jump to send the turtle sailing. You'll
have to grab a ride on the ferris wheel after you slow it down to get your
shine.

2.6.6 Pinna Park Story 6
This is another Secret level. There's an orange Yoshi missing from the
carousel. Find Yoshi, make sure he's orange (read 1.5 if you need help), and
hop onto the ferris wheel to enter the Secret level. See 2.11.2 for info on
what to do when you come back here after finishing the game.

2.6.7 Pinna Park Story 7
Get Fake Mario. (No Giant Robot Koopa this time:-)

2.6.8 Pinna Park Story 8
This one is ANNOYING. Maybe other people won't have trouble with this but it
took me FOREVER. Go into the park. The first thing you should notice is all
of the pink Koopa-Kid balloons. Follow the path on the right to the gazebo.
Cross the plank bridge to the platform where a bunch of the homely little shell
dwellers are. Talk to the guy closest from the edge and he'll let you ride the
Jet Coaster. Just like before, pick up missiles to shoot at your targets. You
have to destroy all 20 Koopa-Kid balloons within 3 circuits of the Coaster
track. When you've accomplished this, talk to the little guy that let you ride
the Jet Coaster, and he'll give you the Shine.

2.7 SIRENA BEACH

This is accessed via the red warp pipe above the building just north of the
statue. (There's a pineapple lodged in it at the start of the game. You'll
need Yoshi to eat it to clear it out.) The 2 Secret Shines in this area are Red
Coin Challenge stages - Story 2 and Story 4.

2.7.1 Sirena Beach Story 1
The paint here is electric, so watch out. Follow the signs to the guy at the
top of the stairs in the middle of the stage. He'll tell you how the whole
place got buried in the goop. There's a GIANT Shadow Manta Ray that will sweep
in from the ocean. Spray this sucker the minute he rears his ugly head.
Eventually he'll split into smaller manta rays. Each ray leaves a trail of
electric slime in its wake. Since these things are shadows, they will fall
pretty much anywhere light can-tree tops, water, etc. The only safe spots here
are under the roofs of the huts in the lower parts of the level, and where
leaves cover under the palm trees. As far as strategy goes, I'd recommend
concentrating on breaking one big one at a time all the way down--get too many
small ones out there at once and they'll overwhelm you. Once you vanquish the
Manta Ray in its entirety, not only do you get a Shine, but you also unbury the
Hotel Delfino, where all but one of the remainder of Sirena Beach's Stories
play out.

2.7.2 Sirena Beach Story 2
Another Secret stage. Talk to the hotel manager (the guy in front of the hotel
door) and he'll let you into the hotel. White and transparent boos (ghosts)
can be killed by stomping on them. Transparent boos can be made white by
spraying them, and spraying pink boos turns them into platforms. Beware of
coins that don't spin--they're ghosts. Sometimes ghosts will hide around real
coins so they spin anyway. It's a good idea to always jump on top of your
coins in this stage:-) The entrance to the Secret stage is the mouth of the
giant Boo at the top of the pillar in the center of the Hotel. See 2.11.2 for
info on what to do when you come back here after finishing the game.

2.7.3 Sirena Beach Story 3
Head over inside the Hotel. This time the Shine is in the Spa on the 3rd
floor. If you look at the Spa you'll notice an attic entrance. And as you may
guess, that's how you'll get in. Not so fast though. You'll notice a Yoshi
egg next to the front desk. Yoshi craves a pineapple, but guess what, the guy
at the desk only has every other kind of fruit. I recommend you spray the guy
at the desk as punishment for making you traipse all over the freakin' hotel
for a pineapple. (This step is not required, but it satisfies none the less.)
Go to the bathroom to the left of the stairs. Look for water leaking through
the ceiling of the last stall. Jumping up through this will put you in the bath
tub of the room above. Spray the ocean painting in the next room off until it
turns into a ghost and laughs. Now you can jump straight through the painting
into the next room. In that room you should see two frightened children. Go
to the end of the room to some wooden doors. Spray the doors until the big
outline of a boo is showing on the side facing you. The doors will part and
allow you to go through. This will lead you to a bath room with two pink
ghosts. Spray them and jump up through the square in the ceiling to get to the
room above. In this room, spray the book case to reveal a hidden door. In the
next room you can spray the poster with Dolphic written on it to get to the
next room (not required). Also in that same room (the one you entered via the
bookcase) you should see a floor tile that's lighter than the rest,
ground-pound it. This will drop you into the room below. Destroy the boxes
for a pineapple. (You can open the doors with B and Mario shouldn't drop the
pineapple) Drop back to the ground floor. Hatch Yoshi with the pineapple.
Riding Yoshi, head back up to the third floor through the only open door in the
hotel (to the left of the Spa). Go through the door and bounce on the bed to
get into the ventilation system. Try to remember your orientation to the spa.
There, use Yoshi to eat the boos that are barring your way. Make your way to
where the Spa should be, and ground pound on the cracked tile. (Hint: it's the
most annoying path through the maze.) You've got plenty of chances to do this
over if you get the wrong one at first:-) Just remember, that you can't open
doors while riding Yoshi. If you get stuck in one of the rooms, the only thing
you can do is dismount Yoshi, and wait for him to vanish when he runs out of
juice. This will make the egg appear in the lobby, and you can start over.

2.7.4 Sirena Beach Story 4
This is a Secret stage. Head over to the Hotel. Go to the guy standing by the
double doors before the bathroom on the left. He'll let you into the Casino.
The first thing to do is to stand on the platforms in front of the slot
machines and spray them until you've got 777. Once you do this for both slot
machines, the red curtain in the middle will open up with a giant Shine puzzle.
Spray the tiles until the Shine picture faces you. This will reveal a pipe
that is the entrance to your Secret level. See 2.11.2 for info on what to do
when you come back here after finishing the game.


2.7.5 Sirena Beach Story 5
Head over to the Hotel, and back to the Casino from 2.7.4. Once inside the guy
at the entrance tells you to look for a strange color on the roulette wheel.
That would be purple. Ground-pound on the purple tile and the roulette wheel
will lower into your boss fight. The boss is a giant boo sitting on slot
wheels. Spray him as soon as you see him, or he'll send little boos at you.
Depending on how the slots end up, he'll either spit out coins, water bubbles,
fruit or enemies. When he spits out the fruit, pick up the chili peppers and
lob them at him. If you hit him in the face, his tongue will catch fire.
Quickly grab another fruit and chuck it at him. Do this three times and he's
toast, and you get your Shine.

2.7.6 Sirena Beach Story 6
You've got 3 minutes to spray the beachfront off. Hint: You just have to get
the majority of the beach cleaned off, the little specks won't count against
you. Of course, you should try to get it all:-) Barrels of water are great for
clearing large sections at once. When you're done talk to the guy on the beach
for your Shine.

2.7.7 Sirena Beach Story 7
Get Fake Mario. Watch out for fake Fake Marios:-) The boos will pose as Fake
Marios to distract you.

2.7.8 Sirena Beach Story 8
Red Coin Level. You've got 5 minutes to get all the coins. Refer to 2.7.3 for
step-by-step instructions on getting to some of these rooms. You don't have to
get the coins in any particular order; I just numbered them for the sake of
organization. First one is right in front of you. Second one is in the bathroom
to the right. Third is in the foyer area of the second floor. Fourth one is on
the foyer of the third floor. Fifth one is in the Spa where you got your Shine.
Sixth one is in the room after the you spray the Ghost painting and before the
ghost outline on the wooden doors. The seventh is in the room through the
Dolphic poster. The eighth one is in the room with the crates of pineapple go
through the doorway where the boo was blocking you in 2.7.3.

2.8 MARE BAY/NOKI BAY

Mare Bay can be accessed by standing in the cascading light in front of the
dolphin fountain, going into first-person mode and looking up into the Sun. The
Secret Shines in this area are 1) Spray down a golden bird flying around the
cliff top to the left of the entrance, 2) Complete the Red Coin Challenge in
Story 6.

Fludd Nozzles/Attachments:

Rocket: Stories 1-3 - Make your way across the cliff face to the right. If you
keep going, you should come across some ledges made out of cross-hatched green
brick. Using a combination of turnaround jumps and the supplied spring-board,
make your way to the highest ledge. The box for unlocking should be inside a
shallow doorway there.

Turbo/Propeller: Story 6 - Located in a door-shaped recess directly under the
outcropping where you fought the Mole in Story 1. This is the ledge that
points outward toward the bay. I haven't found an easy way to do this. Stand
on the tip of the ledge facing toward the cliff wall, tap the Jump button to
jump backwards off the ledge without turning around and when you're at the
proper heighth, boost towards the opening.

2.8.1 Mare Bay Story 1
When you first get to Mare Bay, the water is purple and poisoned. If you fall
in, it'll damage you. The diving trick will work here like it did in Ricco
Harbor. Follow the stepping stones to the right, and make your way up the side
of the green cliff. Spraying the graffiti off of the walls will reveal more
platforms making your climb much easier. The scales work by jumping on the end
opposite of the pot, and spraying the pot full of water. This will raise the
platform you're on. Follow the rolling slime-covered Piranha Plant Heads up to
the source. It's another mole. You beat him the same way as you did in 2.6.2,
although you're in a much more precarious position. Defeating him will get you
your Shine.

2.8.2 Mare Bay Story 2
Make your way across the stepping stones to the left to the little fisherman
guy shown in the preview. There's a brown tile on the cliff wall above him.
Spray it, and a vertical maze will emerge from the cliff face. You'll need to
wall kick your way up and to the next platform before the time runs out and the
maze goes back into the wall. Hint: the wall curves around to the right once
you reach the top. Once there, there'll be another maze. This one's trickier,
though. I recommend that you examine it from the ground to see where you're
supposed to go before you get up there. Once you get all the way to the top,
you'll face another Giant Squid. Follow the strategy in 2.4.1 to beat him.
Drop down through the hole that opens up to the cave below to claim your Shine.

2.8.3 Mare Bay Story 3
This is a Red Coin level. Basically the only controls you have are your
booster (L)-it's unlimited now that you're underwater, the control stick and
the camera angle (C). Coins replenish your health, so grab a few if you're
getting low. The Red Coins are almost all in plain sight. Make sure to check
the crevices of the little blue structure at the bottom.

2.8.4 Mare Bay Story 4
Go to the broken pipe-thing underneath the cascade as shown in the prelude.
When you approach it, you'll be taken inside a dark underwater chamber. At the
very bottom, you'll notice four glowing yellow orbs. Those are the eyes of the
boss you're about to fight. Once you drop far enough, he'll emerge from his
perch, and open his mouth. The object here is to spray the gunk off of all of
his teeth. Make sure to keep your health up by grabbing coins off the walls and
by busting the blue bubbles and grabbing the air bubbles that come out. This
is important because when you finish cleaning his teeth, your Shine will appear
at the very bottom of the chamber, and you'll lose about 4 life points just
dropping down.

2.8.5 Mare Bay Story 5
This is a race level. The guy you're gonna race is across the tightrope to
your right. The goal flag that you're racing to is to the far left of the
entrance a bit to the left of where you activated the wall tile in 2.8.2. Beat
him there for the Shine. I found it easier to go as the crow flies rather than
try to follow him. It doesn't matter how you get there, just so you get there
before him.

2.8.6 Mare Bay Story 6
This is another Secret stage. The entrance is, as shown in the prelude, at the
top of one of the pillars. To get to this one, you're going to need to do some
serious tightrope walking. Watch out for gusts and little electric guys that
actually follow you instead of just sitting in one place or going in one
direction. You can get a start on your climbing by going up to the spiral
staircase on your right. Hint: the entrance to the secret is not on the highest
tower. Now, this secret level is a little tough, so I'll give you some hints.
First, you have to wall-kick your way out of the box you start in. One of the
walls is glass, so don't be worried about falling down. Second, when you get
to the part with the steep incline and the arrows pointing up, the trick is to
never pause or turn around. Just head upward and to the right at a 45 degree
angle, and you should be okay. Third, I hope you've been practicing your
turnaround jump, because you're gonna need it. To get to the higher parts of
