Swings[1] appear in Super Mario Sunshine as wooden swing set-style swings suspended by two ropes that Mario can stand on and utilize. Swings can be made to swing by spraying water using FLUDD's Squirt Nozzle, which causes them to move in the opposite direction that Mario sprays due to the spray's recoil. Spraying until the swing reaches the apex of its swing and then repeating this process when it reaches the apex of its swing in the opposite direction allows Mario to swing higher. If Mario jumps from a moving swing, he can jump farther than normal as the swing's momentum is added to the momentum of his jump. A swing first appears on an island located a small distance away from the mainland in Gelato Beach. Swings are later found in Pianta Village.
