{{quote|As you are no doubt aware, someone has been senselessly defacing fair Isle Delfino using some paint-like substance. The accused is charged with polluting our beautiful home and yes, endangering our very way of life. Indeed, how can one not be aware of what is going on? Though it is daytime in [[Delfino Plaza]], our poor residents tremble beneath a veil of darkness. Expert Shine scholars have determined that this darkness has arisen because all of our guardians, the Shine Sprites, have vanished from their gathering spot at the Shine Gate. The reason? It's quite obvious. This horrible graffiti is to blame!|Pianta prosecutor|Super Mario Sunshine}}

'''Goop''', also known as '''graffiti''', is a thick, slimy paint-like residue that [[Mario]] is forced to clean up with the help of [[F.L.U.D.D.]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. There are many types of goop found within the game. Some are helpful, while most are detrimental and cause various adverse effects if they are touched by Mario. Many types of goop can sink [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s, [[Pianta]]s, [[Noki]]s, trees, and even large structures completely underground. There are also a number of goop [[List of enemies|enemies]] encountered throughout the game, including [[Proto Piranha|Gatekeeper]]s and [[Swoopin' Stu]]s. Gatekeepers appear from regenerating piles of goop called Generators<ref>Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 11.</ref> that have been sprayed with water, while Swoopin' Stus can be spawned at random from the goop, along with common goop, electric goop, and burning goop. In the game, [[Bowser Jr.]] (under the guise of [[Shadow Mario]]) creates most of the goop using his [[Magic Paintbrush]].

==Types of goop==

===Goop===

|caption2=A brown and white [[Proto Piranha|Gatekeeper]].

The most common variant of goop is tar-like substance used to slicken the ground and cause Mario to lose traction. If Mario stands on goop for too long, he will sustain damage every few seconds (the amount of damage sustained depends on the type of goop). It also dirties and sticks to his clothes, which can be cleaned by [[Spin Jump]]ing or swimming in clean water. This variety is found almost everywhere. Some enemies release it, while others are infused with it. It is found in many colors, and is easily confusable with burning goop and electric goop. Generators are sometimes paired with common goop. According to a certain Pianta in Delfino Plaza who got stuck in it, it tastes "sweet," and likens it to "candy."

*Goop that is pink, yellow, orange, and white, which appears in [[Delfino Airstrip]] and [[Noki Bay]].

*Brown and white goop, which appears in Delfino Plaza and Bianco Hills. [[Petey Piranha]] launches this type of goop from his mouth.

*Black goop, which appears in Delfino Plaza, [[Ricco Harbor]], and Noki Bay when released by [[Blooper]]s and [[Gooper Blooper]].

[[File:SMS Shadow Mario Signature Artwork.png|left|thumb|150px|Shadow Mario's M Graffiti.]]

Graffiti is the main type that Shadow Mario uses throughout the game. It is usually painted on walls, though it also appears on other flat surfaces. The Magic Paintbrush has a seemingly endless supply of it, and it can be used to create other types of goop. For example, Shadow Mario is seen painting [[#Rainbow M|Rainbow M]]s with the Magic Paintbrush, which is tipped with graffiti. There is also a "raw" form which Shadow Mario uses to paint his infamous "M" signature, known as M Graffiti<ref name=Versus>Loe, Casey. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Perfect Guide. Page 9.</ref>, which also appears as a logo at the beginning of the game. Along with Shadow Mario's signature, there are also painted symbols that come in pairs, known as Paired Graffiti<ref name=Versus/>. The symbols that appear are "×" (X Graffiti<ref>Loe, Casey. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Perfect Guide. Page 12.</ref>), "○" (O Graffiti<ref>Loe, Casey. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Perfect Guide. Page 31.</ref>), and "△" (Triangle Graffiti<ref>Loe, Casey. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Perfect Guide. Page 54.</ref>). Graffiti is most often colored red, though green graffiti appears in Ricco Harbor, and black graffiti was used to deface the [[Shine Monument]], as well as the bells inside Delfino Plaza's two bell-towers. When graffiti is sprayed long enough, it will be completely cleaned off the wall. After it is cleaned off, a [[Blue Coin]] will be released for Mario to collect. In the case of paired symbols, when one symbol is cleaned off, the Blue Coin appears next to its matching symbol, and vice versa. If Mario does not collect the Blue Coin in time, it will disappear, and the graffiti he cleaned off will reappear. He must then backtrack and clean it off a second time to make the Blue Coin appear once again. Mario will earn a [[Shine Sprite]] for cleaning the graffiti off the Shine Monument and each of the two bells.

There is also ink goop on the wall near the crates where [[Gooper Blooper]] is fought for the first time in Ricco Harbor. It cannot be washed off, but it does not hurt Mario. The goop leaks out of the crates Gooper Blooper is in and runs down the wall and into the water, making it a type of [[#Slimy water|slimy water]].

Another type of graffiti appears during [[Uncork the Waterfall|Episode 1]] of Noki Bay. This graffiti is pink, yellow, orange, and white, and several blotches of it are positioned at intervals along a tall cliff face near the starting point of the level. These goop blotches are shaped like various things relating to the sea, including a squid, a sailboat, a [[dolphin]], a [[whale]], an octopus, and a [[Bird (Super Mario Sunshine)|bird]]. This graffiti can be cleaned off by Mario, but it cannot hurt him. As Mario cleans the blotches off, platforms of varying sizes appear out of the cliff face, which he can then use to climb upward. Cleaning off all of this graffiti helps Mario to reach the cork plugging the waterfall, where he has to defeat a [[Monty Mole]] in order to finish the episode.

A Rainbow M<ref>Averill, Alan, and Jennifer Villarreal. The ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Player's Guide. Page 12.</ref> is a multicolored [[#Graffiti|M Graffiti]] used to teleport Mario or Shadow Mario to other parts of [[Isle Delfino]], serving as a subset of Gate<ref>Bogenn, Tim, and Doug Walsh. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' BradyGames Official Strategy Guide. Page 16.</ref> (or Level Gate<ref>Bogenn, Tim, and Doug Walsh. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' BradyGames Official Strategy Guide. Page 17.</ref>). There are three of them, all of which are found only in [[Delfino Plaza]]. The first was painted by Shadow Mario to escape Mario after he foiled the former's first attempt to kidnap [[Princess Peach]] in Delfino Plaza. This one was painted on the base of the [[Grand Pianta Statue]], and leads to [[Bianco Hills]]. Two more Rainbow Ms can be found on the side of the [[boathouse]] (leading to [[Ricco Harbor]]) and on the front of the lighthouse (leading to [[Gelato Beach]]). These Rainbow Ms appear only after the Gatekeepers covering the buildings have been defeated. All Mario has to do is squirt water on a Rainbow M to activate it (after which it becomes a portal to its corresponding location) and then [[jump]] into it. The goop that comprises the Rainbow Ms is also found inside two red [[Warp Pipe]]s: one on top of a building located behind the Grand Pianta Statue (where it is plugged up by a large [[Pineapple]] at the start of the game), and one on top of the [[Shine Gate]]. These Warp Pipes provide access to [[Sirena Beach]] and [[Pianta Village]] respectively. [[Pinna Park]] and [[Noki Bay]] are the only [[level]]s that are not accessed via Rainbow Ms. When Mario uses one of the three Rainbow Ms, he is fragmented into multiple particles before entering, after which he is reassembled again at the start of the level (similar to what happens when [[Luigi]] is transported through the [[Pixelator]] in ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'').

===Orange Juice Generator===

Orange Juice Generators<ref>Loe, Casey. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Perfect Guide. Page 7.</ref><ref>Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 11.</ref>, or Juice Generators<ref>Bogenn, Tim, and Doug Walsh. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' BradyGames Official Strategy Guide. Page 14.</ref>, are wavy force fields that block access to [[List of items|items]], prevent Warp Pipes from being entered, and damage Mario on contact. These shields can only be dissolved by [[juice]] spat from a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]. They have a zigzag shape (also appearing to have an 'M') and undulate when Mario approaches them. There are only six Orange Juice Generators in the game.

===Electric goop===

[[File:The Manta Storm.png|left|thumb|The [[Phantamanta|Manta]], leaving electric goop.]]

Electric goop, as its name states, is goop infused with electricity. Its color consists of a mixture of aquamarine and yellow, and it has electricity visibly surging from it. This type of goop is found only in Sirena Beach. When Mario touches this goop, it will damage and briefly stun him. Touching it will also cause Mario's colors to be inverted momentarily. Because of their thick soles, Piantas are unharmed by the goop; Nokis are unharmed by the goop as well, though they will sink into it. In [[The Manta Storm|Episode 1]] of Sirena Beach, the [[Phantamanta|Manta]] covers a large portion of the beach in electric goop, causing [[Hotel Delfino]] to become stuck underground. After Mario defeats the Manta, the goop disappears and the hotel rises back out of the ground. The electric goop reappears in graffiti form in [[Scrubbing Sirena Beach|Episode 6]], where it is shaped like a smiling [[Boo]] and covers most of the beach in front of Hotel Delfino. Mario has to clean all the goop off the beach within three minutes to earn a Shine Sprite.

===Burning goop===

[[File:SMS TheGoopyInferno.png|thumb|Burning goop covering a large portion of [[Pianta Village]].]]

Burning goop is [[Lava#Super Mario Sunshine|lava]]-like goop found only in Pianta Village. It is orange-red in color, and releases a small burst of flame every now and then. This type of goop burns Mario on contact and sends him flying upward, just like lava or fire. Thus, if Mario gets caught in the middle of a large quantity of this goop, he will likely lose a [[Extra life|life]] or sustain heavy damage, as he will have nowhere else to go after flying upward and falling back downward again. In [[Chain Chomplets Unchained|Episode 1]], this goop is produced by feverish [[Chain Chomplet]]s. The goop reappears in [[The Goopy Inferno|Episode 3]], where it covers almost the entire level and Mario must save the [[Pianta mayor]] from the fiery inferno. [[Coo Coo]]s fly around and drop burning goop during this episode. The goop is also present in [[Piantas in Need|Episode 6]], where Mario has to rescue ten Piantas that are stuck in small puddles of it. In [[Shadow Mario Runs Wild|Episode 7]], Shadow Mario leaves a trail of burning goop behind him as he runs.

===Slimy water===

[[File:SMS Noki Bay Blue Coin 01.png|left|thumb|[[Noki Bay]] filled with slimy water. Notice how clear the water is supposed to be surrounding the boat.]]

Slimy water is goop-polluted water that depletes one section of Mario's [[Health Meter]] about every two seconds that he is in it. It only affects him while he is on the surface of the water, and does not hurt him while under the water. Slimy water appears in three areas in the game: [[The Secret of the Dirty Lake|Episode 6]] of Bianco Hills, Episodes [[Gooper Blooper Breaks Out|1]]-[[Gooper Blooper Returns|5]] of Ricco Harbor, and Episodes [[Uncork the Waterfall|1]]-[[Eely-Mouth's Dentist|4]] of Noki Bay. The color and type of slimy water varies with the level in which it is encountered. In Bianco Hills, brownish goop covers the surface of the lake around the [[Big Windmill]], making it poisonous. Ricco Harbor's slimy water, also classified as oil<ref>Bogenn, Tim, and Doug Walsh. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' BradyGames Official Strategy Guide. Page 46.</ref><ref>Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 12.</ref>, comes from large quantities of spilled black goop that cover the surface of clean water in several areas. Noki Bay's translucent purple slimy water came about as a result of [[Eely-Mouth]]'s gingivitis.

===Hot water===

[[File:SMS Corona Mountain Tub Battle.png|thumb|[[Bowser]] surrounded by water in his hot tub.]]

Hot water<ref>Averill, Alan, and Jennifer Villarreal. The ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Player's Guide. Page 111.</ref> (also described as gelatin<ref>Loe, Casey. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Perfect Guide. Page 111.</ref> or ooze<ref>Bogenn, Tim, and Doug Walsh. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' BradyGames Official Strategy Guide. Page 144.</ref>) is toxic goop that is green in color. It essentially has the same properties as burning goop, but unlike burning goop, it cannot be removed or washed away, and does not appear anywhere else in the game. [[Bowser]] and Bowser Jr. are found soaking in water in a giant floating hot tub at the top of [[Corona Mountain]]. They both remain in this goop for the duration of the final battle. During the battle, Bowser sometimes [[Ground Pound]]s the hot tub to splash the water on Mario and damage him. There appears to be an unlimited amount of water in the hot tub; when Bowser tilts the tub, most of it falls out, but the supply is immediately replenished. After Mario Ground Pounds all five sections that branch off from the hot tub, the entire hot tub tips over, and all of the water falls out of it into Corona Mountain. The large Shine Sprite that was trapped in the water is also set free.

===Glorpedo===

[[File:SMS Noki Bay Graffiti Enemies.png|thumb|left|[[Glorpedo]]es rolling down the cliffside in Noki Bay.]]

[[Glorpedo]]es, or Iga, are lumpy balls of goop that are pink, yellow, orange, and white in color and appear primarily in Episode 1 of Noki Bay, although [[Petey Piranha]] fires similar projectiles before his first fight. They are shot by a Monty Mole from a Cannon positioned atop the large cork plugging up the waterfall. Mario will sustain damage if one runs into him. When Mario sprays them with water, they will grow in size. If sprayed long enough, they will explode, sometimes leaving behind a [[Water Bottle]] that Mario can collect to refill some of F.L.U.D.D.'s water. A Glorpedo will shrink back to its normal size if Mario does not continue spraying it. Glorpedoes will also explode if Mario jumps directly on top of them. After being fired from the Cannon, Glorpedoes roll along a set path all the way down the large cliff, trailing common goop behind them. They explode into goop when they reach the end of their path.

==Other appearances==

Goop appears in ''[[Mario Golf: Advance Tour]]'' on the [[Mushroom Tourney]] course along with many [[Proto Piranha]]s.

 

Goop also appears in ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'' as an obstacle on the [[Delfino Plaza Court]]. It can cause players to slip and slide around. The player must also clear away goop in a tic-tac-toe-like [[minigame]] called [[Tic-Tac-Glow]].

 

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', during the Airplane Guard sequence of the battle with [[Petey Piranha]], he attacks [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] by spitting balls of goop like he does in ''Super Mario Sunshine''.

 

In ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'', the F.L.U.D.D. is used to clean graffiti off of a building in the [[Super Mario Sunshine (microgame)|Super Mario Sunshine]] [[microgame]].
