Need help finding all 8 Red Coins on the water in Ricco Harbor's Episode 6? Follow this guide to grab them all and earn your Shine Sprite in Super Mario Sunshine!

Hey there! Ready to tackle Episode 6 of Ricco Harbor in Super Mario Sunshine? This one's all about those tricky Red Coins scattered across the water. Don't worry, I'll walk you through it step-by-step. You'll need at least 3 Shines and to have beaten the Polluted Piranha to even get here, so you're already doing great!

To start, head to the west side of Delfino Plaza and find the Rainbow M on the Boathouse. Hop on that, and you'll be transported to Ricco Harbor. Once you're in the episode, your main goal is to collect all 8 Red Coins that pop up on the water. To make them appear, head to the right side of the harbor and jump onto that big red button on the pier. Boom! They'll show up.

Now, you'll want to grab a Blooper to get around. Remember these guys from Episode 2? They're perfect for this. Just a heads-up, try to avoid the Pink Blooper; while it's fast, the regular ones offer better handling, which is super important for grabbing these coins without falling in!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Start by following the trail of Gold Coins. Grab the first 3 Red Coins you see.
  2. 2
    Keep following the Gold Coins towards the tunnel entrance. The 4th Red Coin is waiting for you there.
  3. 3
    Continue following the Gold Coins, sticking close to the left wall. You'll find the 5th Red Coin near some buoys.
  4. 4
    Take a sharp right turn and follow the Gold Coins towards the yellow submarine. You'll need to jump to get the 6th Red Coin, but be careful to steer to the left of the submarine.
  5. 5
    Keep an eye out for a red platform coming up. Go under it to snag the 7th Red Coin.
  6. 6
    Finally, look ahead towards the two boats. The 8th and final Red Coin is located there.

Once you've collected all 8 Red Coins, the Shine Sprite will appear back on the pier where you started. Just head back over there, leap onto the pier, and grab your Shine! Nice job!

Tips
  • Focus on controlling your Blooper smoothly rather than just going for speed.
  • Pay close attention to the Gold Coin trails – they're your best guide!
  • Don't be afraid to take your time, especially around obstacles like the yellow submarine.
