'''Shine Sprites''' | '''Shine Sprites''' are golden entities formed in the sun's image that debut in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. They act as guardians of [[Isle Delfino]] and are the source of the island's sunshine. They are also ''Super Mario Sunshine''{{'}}s equivalent to ''[[Super Mario 64]]''{{'}}s [[Power Star]]s. Their presence is necessary to sustain the lifestyle of Isle Delfino's population, so they are thus held very dear to the island's inhabitants. Under normal circumstances, Shine Sprites gather in great numbers at the [[Shine Gate]], a large structure in the center of [[Delfino Plaza]]. They can be scared away from their gathering spot though. When Shine Sprites scatter, their collective power weakens and the island gets covered in a haze that blocks out sunlight. | ||

The Shine Sprites of Isle Delfino play a key role in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. They are a factor in [[Bowser Jr.]]'s plot to get [[Mario]] sent to prison.

The Shine Sprites of Isle Delfino play a key role in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. They are a factor in [[Bowser Jr.]]'s plot to get [[Mario]] sent to prison. At some point prior to the events of the game, Bowser Jr., [[Shadow Mario|posing as Mario]], attacks the Shine Gate and defaces the monument with [[Graffiti]]. Having their gathering spot polluted caused the Shine Sprites to scatter throughout the entire island, leaving the population engulfed in darkness. When Mario then arrives on Isle Delfino at the start of the game, he is promptly tried for upsetting the Shine Sprites. Mario's objective from that point on is to collect the scattered Shine Sprites and restore the original conditions of Isle Delfino. | |||
Gameplay-wise, Shine Sprites function in a similar way as [[Power Star]]s did in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. The 120 Shine Sprites can be found all over Isle Delfino. Some are hidden in obscure or remote places, while others are held captive by bosses or, in some cases, the islanders themselves.

The 120 Shine Sprites can be found all over Isle Delfino. Some are hidden in obscure or remote places, while others are held captive by bosses or, in some cases, the islanders themselves. Each world has eleven of them: eight regular ones, two secret ones, and one that appears if Mario collects a hundred [[coin]]s. 43 Shine Sprites can be found in Delfino Plaza and [[Delfino Airstrip]]; 24 of them can be traded for [[Blue Coin]]s (ten coins per Shine Sprite). Only the seventh regular Shine Sprite of each world is required to access the final boss in [[Corona Mountain]]; the rest are optional. | ||
If the game is completed with all 120 Shine Sprites, the picture of [[Il Piantissimo]] shown after the credits will be replaced with a large group picture showing several characters from the game. The player will also be rewarded with a red sun sign next to their file block in the file select screen.

One game, based somewhat on Capture the Flag, has characters attempting to hold a Shine Sprite until the timer is expired. Being struck with any of the game's items, including [[Koopa Shell]]s, [[Banana Peel]]s, and the like causes the character to forfeit their hold on the Shine Sprite, allowing another character to pick it up. In ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', there are nine sprites, with a timer resetting every 30 seconds or so. Whoever has or is tied for the least sprites is then eliminated. In ''Double Dash!!'', there is only one sprite, and whoever holds it when time runs out wins. Shine Sprites are also featured on a few billboards in the races in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''. In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', [[Sunshine Airport|Sunshine Airport's]] logo is a Shine Sprite itself. In ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', the Shine Thief mode returns.<ref> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKB9FEXhJ68 Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Overview Trailer</ref> Also, if the player is in 1st place in Battle Mode, a crown is shown with a Shine Sprite on the top of it. | |||

In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', three Shine Sprites can be traded for a partner's level-up from [[Merlon]]. There are 42 in the game, with each of the seven partners being able to upgrade twice. They are scattered throughout the world. Forty-one of them can be found in [[Shine Block]]s all over the world, and one of them is owned by [[Bub]]. The fortune teller [[Merluvlee]] can tell where the Shine Sprites are. The Shine Sprite also makes a minor (but commonly-seen) other appearance as the icon for Mario's partners' "Attack" choice. If the player lines up three Shine Sprite icons in the [[Bingo!]] wheel during battle, the effect refills all of Mario's and his partner's [[Heart Point|HP]], [[Flower Point|FP]], and [[Star Power|SP]], and fills every seat in the [[audience]]s. | In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', three Shine Sprites can be traded for a partner's level-up from [[Merlon]].
