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." | 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.

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.

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.

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 | F.L.U.D.D. is the [[smashwiki:down special|down special]] move of Mario since ''[[Super Smash Bros.

Like other special moves, F.L.U.D.D. has two custom variations in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' only. 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. | Like other special moves, F.L.U.D.D. has two custom variations in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' only.

In ''Super Smash Bros.

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. Ultimate)|spirit]] that requires two support slots to use and grants immunity to sticky floors; this spirit can be purchased at Timmy and Tommy's shop for 1,000 [[smashwiki:SP|SP]] at regular price. | ||

Some games do not feature F.L.U.D.D. but still include objects based on it. The first instance of this is the [[Pump]] item in ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP 2]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP DX]]''.
