Need help with Episode 7: Hold It, Shadow Mario! in Noki Bay? This guide shows you how to chase down and spray Shadow Mario to grab the Shine Sprite.

Alright, so you've made it to Episode 7 in Noki Bay, titled "Hold It, Shadow Mario!". This is where we'll be grabbing another Shine Sprite. To even get here, you needed to have collected at least 20 Shines in Delfino Plaza and then looked into the sun near the Shine Gate. If you're ready, let's dive in!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The main objective here is to chase down Shadow Mario, just like in previous encounters. Your goal is to spray him with FLUDD until he gives up.
  2. 2
    Head across the platforms right in front of you. Shadow Mario will immediately start running away.
  3. 3
    Keep up with him! He's pretty agile and will use Side Somersaults and Wall Kicks to climb the cliffs. You'll need to use the same moves to keep pace and stay close enough to spray him with FLUDD.
  4. 4
    If he manages to reach the very top of the cliffs, he'll jump into the water. Don't worry, he'll just start the chase loop all over again.
  5. 5
    Once you've hit him enough times with FLUDD, he'll fall to the ground. Go over to him, and you'll snag the Shine Sprite!
Tips
  • Shadow Mario is quick, so don't hesitate to use your jump and dive moves to close the distance.
  • Focus on keeping him in your FLUDD's range rather than trying to get too far ahead.

You'll earn a Shine Sprite for completing this episode.
