Super Mario 3D All-Stars: Uncork Noki Bay Waterfall Shine

AntMag.NET

Hey there! Ready to tackle Episode 1 of Noki Bay in Super Mario Sunshine? This one's called 'Uncork the Waterfall,' and it's all about clearing out some nasty goop to reveal a path and then dealing with a bomb-tossing Mole. Don't worry, I'll guide you through it step-by-step!

Walkthrough

1
You'll start the episode by looking up and to the right. See those strange markings on the wall? That's your first clue. Head forward and start climbing the platforms.
2
At the top, you'll find a stationary lift. Hop on it, and then use a Side Somersault (jump, then press the jump button again in mid-air towards a wall) to reach the next platform.
3
Follow the arrow you see, and you'll arrive at the markings we spotted earlier. Now, grab your FLUDD pack!
4
Use FLUDD's water spray to clean off the first set of markings on the wall. This will cause some platforms to magically appear. Use these new platforms to climb even higher.
5
You'll find another set of markings; clean those off with FLUDD too, and more platforms will pop out.
6
Now, you're on a large platform covered in goop. Clean it all up! Once it's clear, perform a Side Somersault to Wall Kick off the wall and reach the next platform to your right, which is also covered in goop.
7
Make your way up the slope to your left. At the end, you'll find more goop to clean. After you've cleared it, you'll be able to Wall Kick even higher.
8
There's still more goop up here! Clean it as you go. You'll eventually reach a small pool of water – this is perfect for refilling FLUDD.
9
After refilling, Wall Kick off the left platform and hover over to the platform on the right.
10
Turn back towards the left platform. You'll spot another goop-covered platform. Jump over, clean off the goop, and get ready for a fight!
11
A Mole will pop out and start tossing bombs at you. To defeat it, use FLUDD to spray the bombs back at the Mole. You'll need to pick them up and launch them at your attacker.
12
Keep at it! After you've successfully hit the Mole with its own bombs three times, it will be defeated, the waterfall will be uncorked, and you'll snag that Shine Sprite!

Tips

Don't forget to refill FLUDD whenever you get the chance, especially before tricky platforming sections or boss fights.
Mastering the Side Somersault and Wall Kick is key to navigating these higher areas. Practice them if you're having trouble!
When fighting the Mole, timing is everything. Wait for it to throw a bomb, spray it back, and aim carefully.

You'll earn a Shine Sprite for your efforts!
