Master Episode 2 of Gelato Beach in Super Mario Sunshine! Learn how to defeat the Plungelos on the mirrors and grab that Shine Sprite with this expert walkthrough.

Alright, let's dive into Episode 2 of Gelato Beach, called "Mirror Madness! Tilt, Slam, Bam!" in Super Mario Sunshine. Your main goal here is to get rid of some annoying Plungelos that are hogging three mirrors. Once they're gone, a Wiggler will leave the top of the tower, and you can snag a Shine Sprite!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, head over to the first mirror. You'll see it's occupied by just one Plungelo. To get up there, find one of the trees nearby and use it to jump onto the mirror.
  2. 2
    Now, to get rid of this Plungelo, you need to spray it with water using FLUDD. Keep spraying until it's pushed all the way to the edge and is starting to fall off.
  3. 3
    Once it's teetering on the edge, quickly run to the opposite side of the mirror. From there, perform a ground pound. This should launch the Plungelo right off the mirror!
  4. 4
    You'll need to repeat this process for the other two mirrors, but be warned: they have more than one Plungelo each. To reach these other mirrors, you'll need to wall jump off the side of the central tower. After wall jumping, use your hover ability to give yourself a little extra boost to reach the mirrors on either side.
  5. 5
    Tackle the multiple Plungelos on these mirrors one at a time. Just use the same spray-to-the-edge-then-ground-pound-the-opposite-side technique for each one until all the Plungelos are gone from all three mirrors.
  6. 6
    Once all six Plungelos have been dealt with, the Wiggler will finally leave the top of the tower. A Shine Sprite will then appear on the beach, so head down and collect it to complete the episode!
Tips
  • Remember to use your hover ability after wall-jumping to make sure you can reach the side mirrors easily.
  • Don't try to deal with multiple Plungelos at once; focus on getting them off one by one to avoid any frustration.

Collect the Shine Sprite from the beach to complete the episode.
