| *Even if it cannot be seen in-game, Eely-Mouth's interior is fully modeled. This likely means that Mario was originally intended to swim inside of Eely-Mouth, but this feature was removed at some point during development for unknown reasons.<ref>{{cite|title=[[tcrf:Super Mario Sunshine/Unseen Object Features|Super Mario Sunshine/Unseen Object Features]]|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor|accessdate=December 4, 2023}}</ref> | | *Even if it cannot be seen in-game, Eely-Mouth's interior is fully modeled.<ref>{{cite|title=[[tcrf:Super Mario Sunshine/Unseen Object Features|Super Mario Sunshine/Unseen Object Features]]|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor|accessdate=December 4, 2023}}</ref> |

| | *A snapshot of a beta version of [[Ricco Harbor]] is used in Eely-Mouth's eyes as a reflection texture for unknown reasons.<ref>{{cite|title=Tricks, Secrets, Glitches & More in Noki Bay in Super Mario Sunshine|author=Particular Mushroom|publisher=YouTube|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1hxLWWpbxI|accessdate=November 27, 2024}}</ref> |
| *If the game is hacked to get out of bounds, it can be seen that the back half of Eely-Mouth isn’t modeled, because the devs never expected the player to be able to see it. This can also be seen through a glitch that can randomly happen where Eely-Mouth will accidentally rise too high out of its hole, revealing the edge of the model where it cuts off. Going out of bounds also reveals that Eely-Mouth’s hole has no interior and abruptly ends past a certain point, revealing the black skybox of the Nooki Depths, which has strange yellow bioluminescent-like flashing lights, below.
| |
| *It is possible via a glitch to clip through Eely-Mouth’s body and end up partially inside of it, but a second invisible barrier prevents you from getting fully inside of it. This second barrier can also be glitched through, however. Doing so reveals a fail-safe mechanism implemented by the devs in the case you somehow got into Eely-Mouth’s body; upon getting inside it’s body, Eely-Mouth will lower itself down until you are inside of it’s mouth, in which case the cutscene for being eaten by it will play, and Mario will be spat out by it. | |
| *One pair of Eely-Mouth’s eyes are masculine, with large eyebrows, while the other pair is feminine, with large eyelashes, meaning Eely-Mouth is potentially genderless. The male eyes release far more poisonous tear-bubbles than the female eyes do for an unknown reason.
| |
| *Releasing a tooth on Eely-Mouth’s female side will cause it to make feminine pain sounds. Conversely, releasing a tooth on its male side will cause it to make masculine pain sounds.
| |
| *Eely-Mouth, the Gooper Bloopers, Mecha-Bowser, King Boo, Giant Chain-Chomp, Bowser, and Bowser Jr. (only in the final battle) are the only bosses in all of Mario sunshine who do not splat into paint and die upon defeat.
| |
| *Eely-Mouth is by far the largest enemy, boss, and character in the game, with only Bowser, Mecha-Bowser, and Phantom-Manta coming anywhere close to it in size.
| |
| *If one were to take a very close look at Eely-Mouth’s eyes in-game or look at them through a model editor, a picture of a beta version of Ricco Harbor, complete with Mario and a few enemies, coins, and NPCs in it, can be seen reflected in them, despite the fact that Eely-Mouth isn’t fought in Ricco Harbor. This is likely because Eely-Mouth was originally meant to be fought in Ricco Harbor early in development, but this was changed at some point later on for unknown reasons.
| |
| *Eely-Mouth bares several similarities to the Unagi Eels present in several games, specifically the one in Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine’s predecessor, as both are massive eels that live very deep underwater (only in Super Mario 64 for the Unagi Eel), are completely invulnerable to damage (Eely-Mouth’s teeth can be cleaned, causing it to permanently go back into its hole, but it cannot outright be defeated), and try to eat Mario to hurt him.
| |
| *Though it cannot be seen in-game due to its constant rippling, the waves of it being constantly thrown around, and the fact that it is constantly turning into bubbles, the goo inside of the cauldron Bowser and Bowser Jr. are fought in during the final battle of the game has a reflection modeled on it, as can be seen via viewing the goop in a model editor. This reflection is a picture of a beta version of the Nooki Depths, complete with Eely-Mouth in it. Strangely, in the picture, both of its pairs of eyes are quite far off center from where they normally are in-game. It is not known why this is, nor is it known why this reflection was even put here in the first place.
| |
| *There is an invisible barrier over Eely-Mouth’s hole that prevents the player from swimming into it after Eely-Mouth swims back in it once its teeth have all been cleaned and removed. This barrier cannot be glitched through in any way, but it is still possible to glitch through the crater around the hole to see the small parts of said hole that cannot normally be seen.
| |
| *Eely-Mouth’s fins are not fully 3D modeled, and are instead just moving Jpeg images.
| |
| *If you spray Eely-Mouth’s poison tear-bubbles for long enough, they will turn into air bubbles that will replenish your air meter.
| |
| *In all missions after it leaves, the waters of Nooki Bay will be clean and won’t hurt Mario anymore, the Nooki depths will be repopulated with Nookis (non of which can be talked to since Mario can’t talk to NPCs underwater), who have finally returned home again since the poison is gone, and Eely-Mouth’s hole will be completely covered up, with only the crater around it remaining. Swimming back down to the crater will reveal a hidden 1-Up for you to collect.
| |
| *It can be assumed the Bowser Jr., likely disguised as Shadow Mario, polluted Eely-Mouth with his magic brush, since it’s clearly in distress while Mario “fights” it, as it constantly cries out poisonous tear-bubbles, (which in turn means that it may not actually be intending to hurt Mario with its poisonous tear-bubbles, and instead does it because the poison causes it so much pain that it is forced to cry it out in tear-bubbles; if this is true, it is the only boss in all of Super Mario Sunshine with an attack it can’t control, an attack that isn’t meant to be an attack, and an attack that isn’t meant to hurt Mario), and it appears to be happy and thankful to Mario after he cleans and removes its teeth, as it leaves behind a large amount of coins in the shape of a heart after it leaves. This suggests the Eely-Mouth, despite its unnerving appearance, isn’t inherently violent or hostile, and is instead normally peaceful and docile, but it was turned violent and Hostile after Bowser Jr. corrupted it. This makes it the only boss in all of Super Mario Sunshine to be a natural creature native to Isle Delfino that was corrupted by Bowser Jr., as well as the only boss that wasn’t originally evil, and one of only two bosses that thanks the player upon its “defeat”, with the other one being Giant Chain-Chomp. This also makes it, along with Bowser, Mecha-Bowser, Bowser Jr. himself (only in the final battle), Giant Chain-Chomp, and (possibly) King Boo the only bosses in all of Super Mario Sunshine that weren’t creations of Bowser Jr. and his magic paint brush.
| |
| *Because of the nature of its “fight”, Eely-Mouth is the Only Boss in all of Super Mario Sunshine to never actually be attacked, fought or defeated; instead, Mario simply cleans and removes its teeth whilst avoiding its poison tears and its attempts to eat him, and once all of its teeth are cleaned and removed, it simply swims back into its hole and leaves a bunch of coins as a reward for curing it of its pollution.
| |
| *Eely-Mouth is the only boss in all of Super Mario Sunshine that is fought underwater. This makes it the only boss in all of Super Mario Sunshine where it is possible to drown whilst “fighting” it without the player having to go out of their way to do so. This also makes it the only boss in all of Super Mario Sunshine that straight up cannot be jumped on at all (because Mario obviously can’t jump underwater), as well as the only boss in all of Super Mario Sunshine where it is completely impossible for F.L.U.D.D. To ever loose any water from its tank whilst the player “fights” it without hacking, and the only boss in all of Super Mario Sunshine that cannot be “defeated” with F.L.U.D.D.’s tank at any level other than full without hacking.
| |
| *Eely-Mouth is the only boss in all of Super Mario Sunshine that Mario “fights” with the fish-bowl on his head.
| |
| *Because it is “fought” underwater to begin with, Eely Mouth does not react to being sprayed by F.L.U.U.D. at all. It will only ever react to it if its teeth are sprayed by it. It is one of the only entities in all of Super Mario Sunshine with this trait, with the only other ones being Petey Piranha Plant in his second fight while he’s sleeping and Giant Chain-Chomp after it is lured into the hot spring and cools off. Coincidentally, they are all bosses. It is also the only boss in all of Super Mario Sunshine that reacts to F.L.U.D.D. Only when a certain part of its body is sprayed, and doesn’t react to anything else.
| |
| *Eely-Mouth, King Boo, Mecha-Bowser, Phantom-Manta, Bowser, Bowser Jr. (only in the final battle), Giant Chain-Chomp, and Wiggler are the only bosses in all of Super Mario Sunshine that are only ever fought once in the game.
| |
| *The maximum amount of Eely-Mouth’s poison tear-bubbles that can be present on screen at once is unknown and cannot be seen in-game because the poison tear-bubbles pop before the limit is ever reached, so there’s never enough of them on screen at once for any new ones created by Eely-Mouth to be forced to despawn.
