F.L.U.D.D talks about the Shine Gate's significance.
In Super Mario Sunshine, the Shine Gate is an enormous historical monument located in Delfino Plaza that has a huge Shine Sprite in the middle of it. Shadow Mario painted black goop all over the Shine Statue, causing all the other Shine Sprites to flee. Mario cleaned off the Shine Statue by using F.L.U.D.D.'s Rocket Nozzle to reach it, and then using F.L.U.D.D.'s Squirt Nozzle to clean it off. Once it has been cleaned completely, it will reveal a hidden Shine Sprite, which appears directly above the middle of the Shine Gate, and can only be collected using the Rocket Nozzle. Later in the game, Mario can use a red Warp Pipe on the right side of the Shine Gate to access the final main level of the game, Pianta Village.
