Part 3

Complete walkthrough for Part 3 of Super Mario Sunshine, covering unlocking the Rocket Nozzle, Pianta Village, Corona Mountain, and Bianco Hills episodes.

The chase takes place on the rooftops. When push comes to a harder push, Shadow Mario will give you the Turbo Nozzle.

UNLOCKING THE ROCKET NOZZLE AND PIANTA VILLAGE

Requirements: 30 Shine Sprites

Once you get your thirtieth shine, Shadow Mario will appear with the Rocket Nozzle. Chase and spray him. When he reaches the island, it's easier to switch to first-person view and spray him until he falls. Hover/spin jump over to him to get the Rocket Nozzle.

Head to the Shine Gate, then rocket up to the area behind it. Get on the raised grassy part against the Shine Gate, then rocket to the top. Up here, you'll find a pipe leading to Pianta Village, the final area! You can also now get every shine in Delfino Plaza.

UNLOCKING CORONA MOUNTAIN

Requirements: Beat the seventh episode of all seven levels

After finishing your seventh episode, a cutscene shows Shadow Mario jumping off Shine Gate and entering Corona Mountain. Delfino Plaza floods. Swim to one of the white umbrellas near the crate guy's building; they act as springs.

Use the springs and your Hover Nozzle to get behind Shine Gate, then backflip to Shadow Mario's location. Spraying him won't help; instead, approach him. He enters Corona Mountain, and you should follow.

Bianco Hills Shines

EPISODE 1: ROAD TO THE BIG WINDMILL

Walk down the path until you reach a tightrope. Walk across it and jump off onto the path. Follow it to a waterwheel. Jump on a fin and let it carry you to the other side.

You'll find a large field covered in goop with a large pile in the center – a goopy Piranha Plant. Squirt its open mouth 3 times. It will leave behind a hill leading to a broken bridge and a Shine Sprite. Grab the shine.

EPISODE 2: DOWN WITH PETEY PIRANHA!

Follow the path and go across the tightrope again, but this time take a shortcut by turning right. You'll arrive at the lake area, now dirty due to a giant Piranha Plant wearing underpants.

Walk up the hill to the broken bridge, spraying goop as you go. Cross the broken part of the bridge via tightrope or Hover Nozzle, then walk along the winding path. Jump over or walk around any goop balls. Spray the goop until you reach a gap. Jump across the first gap. Hover across the second, long gap. Hover around the vines blocking the third gap. You'll arrive at the big windmill with rideable platforms.

Jump on a platform and wait to get near the top of its rotation, then jump to the roof to meet Petey Piranha. He roars, cracking the roof. Petey and Mario fall to the bottom of the windmill, and a fight begins.

Wash off the goop. Wait for Petey to open his mouth, then spray water into it until he becomes so fat he falls over. Jump onto his stomach and ground pound his belly button to make the water come out. Repeat twice. Once all the mud is gone, a shine is left behind.

After getting your third shine, the boathouse in Delfino Plaza turns to goop. Fixing this unlocks a new stage. It's recommended to complete up to episode 7, or even all 11 shines in Bianco Hills, before entering the new stage.

EPISODE 3: THE HILLSIDE CAVE SECRET

Head to the lake area and look for a cave on the hills across the lake. Near the waterwheel and the shore, you'll see a pole with a tightrope. Walk across it and jump to a platform in the lake. Use the rope here to get to the next platform, then jump to the next.

There's a red gear moving along a tightrope. Walk along the rope and jump when the gear gets near you. Hover over to the next platform, then hover to a ledge. Follow the arrow signs to another arrow pointing up to a tightrope. Backflip up to it, then jump into the cave.

You're warped to a strange place where a version of the Mario theme plays. Shadow Mario steals FLUDD. You're now in a land full of obstacles meant to test your platforming skills.
