'''Roller Coaster Balloons''' is the eighth episode of [[Pinna Park]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. The episode's objective is to pop all the [[Bowser Jr.]]-shaped balloons while riding the Roller Coaster.

==Layout==
At the Roller Coaster boarding area, the player needs to talk to the green [[Noki]], who will ask [[Mario]] if he wants to ride the Roller Coaster and try to pop all the balloons. The player needs to pop all twenty balloons before the Roller Coaster completes three laps around the track. Failure to do so before then will result in an instant loss of a life. The player will have thirty-three [[water rocket]]s to fire and the player can pop multiple balloons with one rocket if they aim the rocket correctly. The balloons are grouped into pairs of either two or three and are placed in various areas around Pinna Park. If the player manages to pop all twenty balloons before the Roller Coaster completes three laps, they will be rewarded with a [[Shine Sprite]].

==Notes==
*While the balloons still appear while Mario is not on the roller coaster, he cannot interact with them, though he can kick a [[Strollin' Stu]] at one to pop it. This will not count towards Mario's total during the roller coaster sequence, however.<ref name=DeepDive>{{cite|author=2CPhoenix|date=January 28, 2024|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1RwuiN370M&t=2005s|title=Breaking Down Pinna Park <nowiki>|</nowiki> A Super Mario Sunshine Deep Dive|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=March 18, 2025}}</ref>
**In addition, the balloon distribution is slightly different when outside and on the roller coaster. The row of balloons to the left of the park entrance consists of two balloons outside of the roller coaster instead of three while on it, and the column of balloons closest to the two isles consists of three outside instead of two.<ref name=DeepDive/>
