Get Sandy Shine Sprite in Super Mario Sunshine

Alright, let's grab that second hidden Shine Sprite on Gelato Beach! This one's a bit tricky, but totally doable once you know the trick.

Walkthrough

1
First things first, you'll want to head towards the big central tower on the beach.
2
Just behind this tower, look for a special plant called a Dune Bud. Give it a good spray with your FLUDD!
3
As soon as you spray it, a set of stairs will pop out of the ground, leading downwards. But here's the catch: you've only got a short window before the sand buries them again!
4
Quickly spray the wall right in front of those stairs. If you're fast enough, you'll reveal a sticker that looks just like a Shine Sprite.
5
Don't worry if you miss it – the Dune Bud will respawn, so you can try as many times as you need.
6
Once you've successfully revealed the whole Shine Sprite sticker, a real Shine Sprite will appear! You'll find it chilling on top of the hill that overlooks the tower and the beach.
7
To get up to that hill, you'll need to spray the Dune Bud again, but this time in the alcove. This will reveal stairs leading up to a path along the cliff.
8
Alternatively, if you're feeling nimble, you can try wall-jumping up the alcove to reach that same path.

Tips

Speed is key here! Once the stairs appear, you need to be quick to spray the wall before they disappear under the sand.
If you're having trouble with the timing, practice spraying the Dune Bud and then immediately turning to spray the wall.
Don't forget that you can wall-jump up to the cliff path if the stairs feel too slow or tricky.
