Learn how to defeat the giant Mecha-Bowser in Super Mario Sunshine's Pinna Park Episode 1. Follow our guide to dodge attacks and grab the Shine Sprite!
Alright, so you've made it to Pinna Park in Super Mario Sunshine! To get here, you'll need at least 10 Shine Sprites. Once you arrive, your first job is to head straight through the gate and start chasing after that pesky Shadow Mario. Keep up with him, and you'll eventually reach a shallow swimming pool where he'll reveal his true intentions by activating a giant Mecha-Bowser!
Walkthrough
- 1As soon as you enter Pinna Park, make a run for the gate and start chasing Shadow Mario.
- 2Follow him until you reach the shallow swimming pool. A cutscene will play, and Shadow Mario will unleash the giant Mecha-Bowser!
- 3Now, you'll find yourself on the Pinna Park rollercoaster. Your main goal here is to shoot rockets at Mecha-Bowser's head.
- 4As the coaster moves, FLUDD will automatically grab rocket missiles that are on the track.
- 5To fire these rockets, press the ZR button. You can aim your shots using the Left Analog Stick.
- 6You'll need to hit Mecha-Bowser a total of four times to defeat him.
- 7Keep an eye out for his attacks! He'll shoot fire and Bullet Bills at you.
- 8If you're in the path of his fire, quickly use your water nozzle to put out the flames.
- 9When Bullet Bills are coming your way, you can also spray them with water to take them out before they hit you.
- 10Once you've landed the final hit and Mecha-Bowser is defeated, a short cutscene will play.
- 11After that, head back to the shallow pool where it all started to pick up your Shine Sprite!
Tips
- Don't forget to use your water nozzle defensively against both fire and Bullet Bills – it's your best tool for survival here!
- Aim carefully with the Left Analog Stick before firing the rockets with ZR; hitting his head is key.
