The '''Rocket Nozzle''' is one of [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]]'s nozzles in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. Using it launches [[Mario]] upward after charging for a brief period. It does not launch Mario while he is [[swim]]ming, so he must [[jump]] out right before he is launched if there is no land near him. Using the Rocket Nozzle launches Mario high enough to perform powerful [[Ground Pound]]s that can destroy certain objects with a flame icon on them, including the [[stone wheel|rock]] on top of the [[Delfino Plaza]] lighthouse or the edges of [[Bowser]]'s tub during the [[Father and Son Shine!|final battle]]. The Rocket Nozzle can be obtained from red [[nozzle box]]es. However, they are not available at the start of the game, and the boxes are transparent and intangible. To make the box in Delfino Plaza active, Mario must collect 30 [[Shine Sprite]]s, after which [[Shadow Mario]] will be seen holding the nozzle in Delfino Plaza. Chasing him down unlocks the Rocket Nozzle for use in Delfino Plaza. In levels featuring them, a hard-to-reach red nozzle box appears solid while any others are transparent; collecting the nozzle from the solid one permanently activates all the others for the level, even in other episodes. Obtaining the Rocket Nozzle replaces the [[Hover Nozzle]] or [[Turbo Nozzle]] if Mario had either of them previously.
