The '''Flash Liquidizer Ultra Dousing Device''', abbreviated and better known as '''FLUDD''' or '''F.L.U.D.D.''', is a multipurpose water pack from ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' invented by [[Professor E. Gadd]], indicated by the [[Gadd Science, Incorporated]] logo at the base of its nozzle exclusively during the cutscene at [[Pinna Park]]. However, this is the only time F.L.U.D.D. is shown to have it present. It features a water tank, two handles, and four interchangeable nozzles. In ''Super Mario Sunshine'' only, F.L.U.D.D. is also shown to have an artificial intelligence and is able to communicate with [[Mario]] and any other characters by speaking through the nozzle. F.L.U.D.D.'s name is a play on the word "flood," meaning "a large mass of water that often causes chaos in a public area."

It features a water tank, two handles, and four interchangeable nozzles. It is possible that F.L.U.D.D. is Mario's equivalent of the [[Poltergust 3000]] used by [[Luigi]]. In ''Super Mario Sunshine'' only, F.L.U.D.D. is also shown to have an artificial intelligence and is able to communicate with Mario and any other characters by speaking through the nozzle.

[[File:FLUDD assistance.png|thumb|200px|left|FLUDD introduces itself to [[Mario]] on the [[Delfino Airstrip]] at the beginning of ''Super Mario Sunshine''.]]
In ''Super Mario Sunshine'', FLUDD can be used by Mario to spray [[water]] at objects or enemies by pressing {{button|gcn|R}}. By doing this, Mario is able to perform a multitude of tasks, ranging from enhancing his acrobatics to cleaning [[goop]] off various surfaces. FLUDD can switch between the Squirt Nozzle and either the Hover, Rocket, or Turbo Nozzle (depending on which one Mario currently has equipped) with {{button|gcn|x}}. As the player continues to spray water with FLUDD, the amount of water in its tank gradually gets lower. When its tank is completely empty, the player must enter a body of water and hold the {{button|gcn|R}} button, or collect a [[Water Bottle]], before any water can be sprayed again. Throughout the game, FLUDD also often gives the player advice on how best to complete a certain task or challenge via a HUD message, which varies depending on the situation.

Mario first encounters FLUDD on the ground of the [[Delfino Airstrip]]. When he walks over to FLUDD, it scans Mario and introduces itself to him before he puts it on; the player is then shown a tutorial video detailing how to use it. From this point on, Mario carries FLUDD around on his back and has access to it throughout the rest of the game. However, there are certain situations in the game when FLUDD is unavailable to the player. For example, it is taken by [[Shadow Mario]] every time Mario enters a secret [[level]] that has not been cleared at least once. It is also taken by Shadow Mario in [[The Goopy Inferno|Episode 3]] of [[Pianta Village]], though in this case, the mission involves finding a way around the [[burning goop]] that covers the entire village and retrieving FLUDD.


After Mario defeats both [[Bowser]] and [[Bowser Jr.]] in [[Corona Mountain]] at the end of the game, Mario and [[Princess Peach]] fall through the air and land on a small island on the west side of [[Delfino Plaza]]. After Mario regains consciousness from the fall, he notices FLUDD is not strapped to his back. When he locates FLUDD lying on the ground a few feet from him, it is shown to be damaged and malfunctioning (presumably as a result of Mario's [[Ground Pound|ground-pounding]] various weak points on Bowser and Bowser Jr.'s hot tub, as when it reached three weak points destroyed, it began to stutter), asking Mario if "[it] was of assistance" before it shuts down completely in front of him, much to his despair. Shortly after, at [[Sirena Beach]], several of the [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s accompanying Mario and Peach to the island present to them FLUDD, who has been fixed.

Several discrepancies occur in the ''[[Super Mario 3D All-Stars]]'' version of the game. In FLUDD's tutorial video, FLUDD simply says "button" instead of "R Button." This is because when the player uses normal controls, spraying is done by both {{button|switch|R}} and {{button|switch|ZR}}, and the subtitles have been changed to reflect this. Prior to version 1.1.0, the zoom-out effect when the player uses the [[Turbo Nozzle]] underwater was not adjusted to fit the new widescreen display.

Although F.L.U.D.D. itself does not appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' or [[Super Mario Galaxy 2|its sequel]], [[Water Shooter]]s, [[Fire Pressure]]s, and [[Electric Pressure]]s, all of which resemble F.L.U.D.D.'s head, appear.

When FLUDD scans Mario, a little window in the bottom left corner shows short gameplay clips of boss battles in various games of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]], namely ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''[[Super Mario World]]'', and ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. After Bowser is beaten at the end of the game and FLUDD is looking at Mario, the window shows the [[Game Over]] screen from ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' In addition, in the bottom right corner, the titles of several other ''Super Mario'' games that Mario had been in up to and including that point are shown, though they are backwards with no spaces between the words, so they normally cannot be read by the player. The game titles as they are displayed when FLUDD scans Mario are as follows: ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|MARIOBROS]], [[Super Mario Bros.|SUPERMARIOBROS]], [[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels|SUPERMARIOBROS2]], [[Super Mario Bros. 3|SUPERMARIOBROS3]], [[Super Mario World|SUPERMARIOWORLD]], [[Super Mario Kart|SUPERMARIOKIRT]], [[Super Mario 64|SUPERMARIO64]], [[Mario Kart 64|MARIOKIRT64]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Sunshine|MARIOSUNSHINE]]'' ("KART" is misspelled as "KIRT" in the game titles for ''Super Mario Kart'' and ''Mario Kart 64'', which is likely due to a mistranslation of the ''kā'' syllable in their Japanese titles). In the center left, the profile of Mario is shown in Japanese hiragana. The profile is as follows: きのこおうこくのまりお (Mario of the Mushroom Kingdom), しゅくてき くっぱ (Nemesis: Bowser), しょくぎょう はいかんこう (Occupation: Plumber), すきなたべもの すぱげってぃ(Favorite food: Spaghetti), すきなひと ひみつ(The person I love: Secret), きらいなもの どくきのこ(Dislikes: [[Poison Mushroom]]), たいじゅう ひみつ (Body weight: Secret), しんちょう ふめい (Height: Unknown), せんしょくたいのかず ふめい (Chromosome number: Unknown), おとうさんのなまえ しらない (Father's name: Do not know), おかあさんのなまえ しらない (Mother's name: Do not know).

FLUDD also appears in the ''Super Mario Sunshine'' arc of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''. As with FLUDD in the games, it assists Mario, although it expresses more emotion and is more difficult to be with. It sprays Mario's face, causing him to yell at it, for example.

Several FLUDD-like water pumps appear in ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]''; these heads are used to clear away the [[goop]] that can accumulate in the [[Delfino Plaza Court]]. Also, in the minigame [[Tic-Tac-Glow]], the player must use balls of water shot by several FLUDD pumps to clear away goop in a game of tic-tac-toe. A FLUDD pump also appears in another minigame, [[Chain-Chomp Challenge]], when a [[Chain Chomp]] begins chasing a player. Its purpose is to calm the Chain Chomp down when it is enraged.

F.L.U.D.D. appears as Mario's down special move as of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', while the [[Mario Tornado]] from ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' has been repurposed as Mario's down aerial move.
F.L.U.D.D. is the [[smashwiki:down special|down special]] move of Mario since ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', while the [[Mario Tornado]] from ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' has been repurposed as Mario's [[smashwiki:Down aerial|down aerial]] move. When Mario uses the move, he puts F.L.U.D.D. on his back and douses his enemies with water. The attack does not damage opponents but instead pushes them. F.L.U.D.D. charges when the move is activated and shoots water when the button is pressed again, a longer charge resulting in a more powerful stream of water. F.L.U.D.D. stops charging when it is fully charged, allowing Mario to use it at a later time. Mario can also shield or roll to stop the charging. He can destroy projectiles with F.L.U.D.D., and the stream of water can be angled. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', in addition to F.L.U.D.D. having a shorter charge time, its water stream's strength, speed, and range are each noticeably higher, and when spraying water, F.L.U.D.D.'s nozzle is next to Mario's head on the right-hand side, with Mario holding a handle with his left hand and holding the nozzle with his right hand. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', F.L.U.D.D. retains its improvements from ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'' but now with less ending lag and an even stronger water stream.

F.L.U.D.D. also appears as a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]], obtainable when it appears at random in one of the game's single-player modes.
 
====''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''====
F.L.U.D.D. returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' as Mario's down special move. In addition to having a shorter charge time, its water stream's strength, speed and range are each noticeably higher. When spraying water, F.L.U.D.D.'s nozzle is next to Mario's head on the right-hand side, while Mario holding a handle with his left hand and holding the nozzle with a right hand. However, in ''Super Mario Sunshine'', F.L.U.D.D.'s nozzle is above Mario's head, with Mario gripping both handles with both hands.
 
Like other special moves, F.L.U.D.D. has two custom variations. The first is '''Scalding F.L.U.D.D.''', which sprays a short-range stream of water that deals fiery damage to opponents. The second is '''High-Pressure F.L.U.D.D.''', which sprays a more powerful stream of water and has greater range but also pushes Mario back.

There is also a trophy of F.L.U.D.D. in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', where it can be unlocked by clearing [[smashwiki:Crazy Orders|Crazy Orders]] as [[smashwiki:Mario (SSB4)|Mario]] in 20 or more turns. In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', F.L.U.D.D. has its own Advanced-class support [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros.

In ''Super Mario Sunshine'', FLUDD is able to use a total of four different nozzles, only two of which can be equipped at one time. Upon the player starting the game, the Squirt Nozzle and the Hover Nozzle are equipped by default. The remaining two nozzles (the Rocket Nozzle and the Turbo Nozzle) can be equipped by breaking open various [[nozzle box]]es located in [[Delfino Plaza]] and its surrounding areas (although not all nozzles can be found in certain [[level]]s). When the player equips either of the remaining nozzles, the Hover Nozzle is replaced by the new nozzle, as one of the equipped nozzles must always be the Squirt Nozzle; the next nozzle that is equipped replaces the previous nozzle. To change between nozzles equipped, the player must press the {{button|gcn|X}} button. Every nozzle is controlled with {{button|gcn|R}}.

During development of ''Super Mario Sunshine'', FLUDD was [[List of Super Mario Sunshine pre-release and unused content|planned]] to feature a water gun nozzle, but the idea was scrapped due to controversy in the United States at the time.<ref>[https://www.nsidr.com/archive/the-making-of-the-game-super-mario-sunshine N-Sider transcription (May 2005) of an August 2002 ''Nintendo Online Magazine'' interview with the developers]</ref>
*'''Squirt Nozzle'''{{anchor|Squirt Nozzle}} &ndash; This is the basic nozzle, which allows Mario to spray water at objects or enemies. If the {{button|gcn|R}} button is held down lightly, Mario can [[dash|run]] while squirting in the direction he is facing. If {{button|gcn|R}} is held all the way down, Mario stops and squirts in place while the player can use the analog stick to aim. In the ''Super Mario 3D All-Stars'' version, if the player is using a Joy-Con or a Nintendo Switch Pro-Controller, {{button|switch|ZR}} squirts while running and {{button|switch|R}} squirts in place, allowing aiming. This is the only nozzle that can also be used when in over-the-shoulder mode. This nozzle is equipped by default when the player starts the game or enters a level. When the player presses {{button|gcn|A}} before spraying with FLUDD, Mario can spray water in large range in front of him, making it easier to clean large range of enemies or goop. It should be noticed that the large-range spraying costs large amounts of water each time. When the player rotates {{button|gcn|Stick}} before spraying with FLUDD, Mario can do a spin attack that sprays water in all directions near him. The spin-spraying can be combined with {{button|gcn|A}} to perform a spinning spray jump.
*'''[[Hover Nozzle]]'''{{anchor|Hover Nozzle}} &ndash; This nozzle allows Mario to hover in the air for about four seconds, with slowly increasing altitude while in effect. The Hover Nozzle is located inside blue nozzle boxes. Collecting a [[Blue Coin]] disables the Hover Nozzle temporarily. When Mario jumps off a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]], FLUDD automatically has a full tank of water and is equipped with the Hover Nozzle, regardless of the conditions before Mario jumps on it.
*'''[[Rocket Nozzle]]'''{{anchor|Rocket Nozzle}} &ndash; This nozzle allows Mario to blast upwards on a stream of pressurized water after charging up for a brief period of time. He falls without hovering, though he does not take any falling damage. However, it cannot be used when Mario is in the water, so he has to jump from the water to perform the Rocket Nozzle in a water area. The Rocket Nozzle can be found inside red nozzle boxes and is unlocked in Delfino Plaza after the player gets 30 [[Shine Sprite]]s.
*'''[[Turbo Nozzle]]'''{{anchor|Turbo Nozzle}} &ndash; This nozzle allows Mario to move quickly across land or water. Turning is more difficult when this nozzle is used on land than when it is used on water. It rapidly uses up a large amount of water when used on land. It also allows Mario to break through orange and green [[Turbo-bashable doors]], which are otherwise immovable. The Turbo Nozzle can be found inside gray nozzle boxes and is unlocked in Delfino Plaza after the player gets 25 Shine Sprites.
*'''Racket Nozzle'''{{anchor|Racket Nozzle}} &ndash; This nozzle appears only in ''Super Mario-kun''. In it, Mario tells FLUDD that it should switch to the Rocket Nozzle. In the next panel, FLUDD's nozzle turns into a tennis racket, hitting a ball, and Mario compliments FLUDD for the return. Mario then yells at FLUDD for using the Racket Nozzle instead of the Rocket Nozzle.

When Mario jumps off Yoshi, FLUDD will automatically have a full tank of water and be equipped with the Hover Nozzle, regardless of the conditions before Mario jumps on it.
*'''Rocket Nozzle'''{{anchor|Rocket Nozzle}} - This nozzle allows Mario to blast upwards on a stream of pressurized water after charging up for a brief period of time. He falls without hovering, though he does not take any falling damage. However, it cannot be used when Mario is in the water, so Mario has to jump from the water to perform the Rocket Nozzle in a water area. The Rocket Nozzle can be found inside red Nozzle Boxes and is unlocked after the player gets 30 Shine Sprites.
*'''Turbo Nozzle'''{{anchor|Turbo Nozzle}} - This nozzle allows Mario to move quickly across land or water. Turning is more difficult when using this nozzle on land than using it on water. It rapidly uses up a large amount of water when used on land. It also allows Mario to break through orange and green doors, which are otherwise immovable. The Turbo Nozzle can be found inside gray Nozzle Boxes and is unlocked after the player gets 25 Shine Sprites.
*'''Racket Nozzle'''{{anchor|Racket Nozzle}} - This nozzle only appears in ''Super Mario-Kun''. In it, Mario tells F.L.U.D.D that it should switch to the Rocket Nozzle. In the next panel, F.L.U.D.D's nozzle turns into a tennis racket, hitting a ball, and Mario complements F.L.U.D.D for the return. Mario then yells at F.L.U.D.D for using the Racket Nozzle instead of the Rocket Nozzle.

*When FLUDD scans Mario in ''Super Mario Sunshine'', a little window in the bottom left corner shows short gameplay clips of boss battles in various [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'']] games, namely ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''[[Super Mario World]]'', and ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. After Bowser is beaten at the end of the game and FLUDD is looking at Mario, the window shows the [[Game Over]] screen from ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' In addition, in the bottom right corner, the titles of several other ''Mario'' games that Mario had been in up to and including that point are shown, though they are backwards with no spaces between the words, so they normally cannot be read by the player. The game titles as they are displayed when FLUDD scans Mario are as follows: ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|MARIOBROS]], [[Super Mario Bros.|SUPERMARIOBROS]], [[Super Mario Bros. 2|SUPERMARIOBROS2]], [[Super Mario Bros. 3|SUPERMARIOBROS3]], [[Super Mario World|SUPERMARIOWORLD]], [[Super Mario Kart|SUPERMARIOKIRT]], [[Super Mario 64|SUPERMARIO64]], [[Mario Kart 64|MARIOKIRT64]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Sunshine|MARIOSUNSHINE]]'' ("KART" is misspelled "KIRT" in the game titles for ''Super Mario Kart'' and ''Mario Kart 64'', which is likely due to a mistranslation of the ''kā'' syllable in their Japanese titles). In the center left corner, the profile of Mario is shown in Japanese hiragana. The profile is as follows: きのこおうこくのまりお (Mario of the Mushroom Kingdom), しゅくてき くっぱ (Nemesis: [[Bowser]]), しょくぎょう はいかんこう (Occupation: Plumber), すきなたべもの すぱげってぃ(Favorite food: Spaghetti), すきなひと ひみつ(The person I love: Secret), きらいなもの どくきのこ(Dislikes: [[Poison Mushroom]]), たいじゅう ひみつ (Body weight: Secret), しんちょう ふめい (Height: Unknown), せんしょくたいのかず ふめい (Chromosome number: Unknown), おとうさんのなまえ しらない (Father's name: Do not know), おかあさんのなまえ しらない (Mother's name: Do not know).
*In ''Super Mario Sunshine'', during the cutscene at [[Pinna Park]], FLUDD is revealed to have the Gadd Science, Incorporated logo at the base of its nozzle. However, this is the only time FLUDD is shown to have it present.
*During development of ''Super Mario Sunshine'', FLUDD was [[List of Super Mario Sunshine pre-release and unused content|planned]] to feature a water gun nozzle, but the idea was scrapped due to controversy in the United States at the time.<ref>[http://www.n-sider.com/contentview.php?contentid=262 N-Sider transcription (May 2005) of an August 2002 ''Nintendo Online Magazine'' interview with the developers]</ref>
