The '''Magic Paintbrush''', also known as the '''Gaddbrush''' in the Prima strategy guide for ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', is a strange weapon wielded by [[Bowser Jr.]] in ''Super Mario Sunshine''. The young Koopa used the brush to  paint [[Graffiti]] of various shapes including "△"s, "O"s, "X"s, and "[[Graffiti#Wall Graffiti|M]]"s all over [[Isle Delfino]] under the guise of [[Shadow Mario]]. He pinned the blame on [[Mario]], who was sentenced to cleaning up the entire island as community service.

Apparently, the brush was created by [[Professor E. Gadd]], as Bowser Jr. claimed that he got the brush from a "strange old man in a white coat." Additionally, the brush has the E. Gadd logo on it, as does [[F.L.U.D.D.]], who reacts with surprise when Bowser Jr. informs Mario of this. It is unknown exactly how Bowser Jr. got the weapon. One theory suggests that E. Gadd gave Bowser Jr. the brush, or Bowser Jr. simply stole the brush from E. Gadd. Once Bowser Jr. obtained the Brush, he began to cover Isle Delfino with toxic [[Graffiti]].

Mario used F.L.U.U.D. to accomplish this, before defeating Junior and [[Bowser|his father]] in a final battle atop [[Corona Mountain]].

—Bowser Jr., Super Mario Sunshine

The Magic Paintbrush, also known as the Gaddbrush in the Prima strategy guide for Super Mario Sunshine, is a strange weapon wielded by Bowser Jr. in Super Mario Sunshine. It was created by Professor E. Gadd and is emblazoned with his logo; its ferrule also bears a passing resemblance to the head of another one of his creations, F.L.U.D.D.. Unlike other E. Gadd devices, the paintbrush is a destructive implement, and produces toxic graffiti that was used by Bowser Jr. to defile an entire island in Super Mario Sunshine. The Prima Game Guide for Super Mario Sunshine explains that E. Gadd meant to give the brush to Mario, but was fooled by Junior's Shadow Mario disguise.

History

After obtaining the brush from E. Gadd, Junior used it to paint graffiti of various shapes (including "△"s, "O"s, "X"s, and "M"s) all over Isle Delfino under the guise of Shadow Mario. He then pinned the blame on Mario, who was sentenced to cleaning up the entire island as community service. Mario used F.L.U.U.D. to accomplish this, before defeating Junior and his father in a final battle atop Corona Mountain.

After the final battle, Bowser Jr. dropped his paintbrush, which was later discovered by Il Piantissimo near Gelato Beach.

Bowser Jr. somehow recovered the weapon prior to the events of Mario Power Tennis, where he used the brush to perform special moves. Bowser Jr. used it again in Mario Hoops 3-on-3 in his Special Shot, Graffiti Shot. The Magic Paintbrush also appears for Jr's Special Shots in Mario Sports Mix.

Mario Super Sluggers

The Paintbrush once again appears as a prop in Junior's Special Shots in Mario Super Sluggers, and can also be used as a bat, replacing his little spiky bat from the prequel. There is also a mini-game called "Graffiti Runner" where the player finds the Brush and uses it to paint the floor the player's color to win. If the player uses all the paint, the player loses it, so the player has to grab it again to continue.

The design of the paintbrush is slightly different in Super Mario Sluggers, as it lacks the decorative crimp (the spiked cylinder emblazoned with E. Gadd's logo), with the silver funnel containing the bristles connecting directly to the handle.

Mario Kart Arcade GP

Several Magic Paintbrushes appeared on display in Mario Kart Arcade GP's Diamond City course.

Trivia

  • When Bowser Jr. masquerades as Shadow Mario, the Magic Paintbrush changes color to match his shadowy consistency. It is only when he becomes Bowser Jr. again that the true coloration of the Magic Paintbrush is revealed.
  • The Magic Brush can be seen as Bowser Jr's equivalent to the Koopalings' Magic Scepters in Super Mario Bros. 3, as they are all magical devices obtained from protagonists by Bowser's children in their debut game.
