Super Mario Sunshine Boss FAQ

By Shadow Raceman Koopa

What is my purpose for writing this?
My purpose is to help people who are stuck on this game. Say on a certain boss. I bet most of the "need help with a boss" people are mostly stuck on Manta Ray or Bowser or something! If you need more strategies Email me and tell me if I can make more sense. Hope this is good enough.

Petey Piranha 1 (Bianco Hills): A very easy boss. If you're too close he'll try getting you away from himself by making his head go in a 360 degree circle. The attack won't damage you though! YOU NEED TO HAVE YOUR FLUDD FILLED! If not then you're doomed. When you hear an inhaling sound from PP then he's about to throw up a pool of disgusting goop! Kill all the sludge buddies! Before he throws up goop squirt in his mouth until he falls on the ground. Ground pound his stomach with A then L and he'll turn all red. Wash away all of the sludge so there won't be any problems. I think I've said enough. Once he gets three ground pounds while he's too fat to get up he'll vanish.

Petey Piranha 2 (Bianco Hills): HA! He's back and tougher! Just because he's been beaten once does not mean he is going to give up! To awake him you have to grab one of those balloon-looking dudes and shoot it at him. This time he can fly! He may be a heavyweight but I guess he can ignore it. Anyway his attack in the air is spitting out huge balls of sludge. Lots of sludge buddies are in each one. Squirt in this dude’s mouth and he'll fall on the ground. He'll make two tornadoes from his leaf hands. The tornadoes will suck you in and spit you out. He still has the barfing up goop attack so squirt in his mouth until he falls onto the ground. Ground pound him! He will begin his flying again. Repeat the same process! Three GP's will defeat this Piranha for good. You won't have to deal with him again.

Ricco Harbor Guardian: Defeat him by spraying in his mouth 3-5 times to beat him. He doesn't attack you but watch out for the sludge buddies and don't fall into the black goop.

Gooper Blooper 1 (Ricco Harbor): This might in fact be one of the coolest battles in the game. Gooper Blooper has one attack and that's trying to smack you down with one of four tentacles. He can also attack you with more than one tentacle so dodge the tentacles and then jump on them. First spray his face and he'll smack his tentacles down. Then rip one off. Rip all four tentacles off and grab Gooper Blooper's mouth and once he starts to cry, you have just got the plug out of his mouth. He sprays black goop around him so he won't be harmed by the likes of you. Sadly it only makes things a little more messy and forces you to be careful not to slip. Do the same thing as before. Rip all four tentacles off
and then grab his mouth. Keep pulling his mouth, and he will go over the horizon and fall into the water.

Gooper Blooper 2 (Ricco Harbor): There's good news and bad news. The good news is that Gooper Blooper is still easy but the bad news is that he has a new attack and the platform you're on is small and you can easily fall off. First start off by spraying his face and then jump on a tentacle, yank it, and move sideways so you won't fall off the platform. Don't worry, you'll still be able to rip it off. His new attack is where he spins with his tentacles. This can whack you off the platform into the water. Once you rip off all four tentacles and his mouth, the plug in his mouth will come out and black goop will be in mostly every part of the arena, so clean the goop away 'cause it'll be easier if you do so. Once you rip off all four tentacles again, grab his mouth and fling him over the horizon, he'll make a hard crash landing into the black goop. He is gone! For now...

Wiggler Ahoy (Gelato Beach): To inexperienced players, he might be a toughie. But Mario fans and people who are used to using FLUDD should find this pretty easy. The Wiggler will be running everywhere, very angry that you've woken him up, and now he wants payback! Give him your payback for making us waste time on Episode 2. Watch where Wiggler will keep going in a pattern and spray the plant nearest to Wiggler to make a giant sand figure come out to make Wiggler fall on his back. Then there will be an arrow that shows Wiggler's weak point, and you have to ground pound it. Once you do that, go hide and he'll get angrier. The music gets faster and so does Wiggler. Just do the same thing except go to a different plant near to Wiggler and spray it quick to make him fall over. Then ground pound a body segment and the music gets even faster and so does Wiggler! Go hide and watch where Wiggler goes. Make him fall over again and ground pound a body segment the third time to beat him.

Mecha Bowser (Pinna Park): ONE OF THE COOLEST BATTLES EVER! Very creative! Shadow Mario brings forth, a huge mechanical Bowser. You are too small to fight him, so you have to ride the roller coaster to get to his height. MB will breathe fire and fire Bullet Bills from its chest cannons. If FLUDD says a Bullet Bill is right behind you, squirt the Bullet Bill. Some may be in front of you and some may be behind you but either way, you have to be fast. When MB breathes fire, squirt the mouth or the flame to extinguish the fire breath. To defeat MB, you have to use rockets and fire them carefully at his head. I'll tell you something. One time I gave him four hits in one lap and I am not kidding. He has four health so fire four rockets at his head to shut down MB.

Cannon Mole (Pinna Park): Not really a boss but who cares? He's easy! At the start he fires Bullet Bills if you are far away, and throw Bob-ombs at you if you're close. When he throws a Bob-omb, squirt it and throw it at him when it is ready to explode. Do this three times and you can enter the special stage. This is not a boss.

Manta Storm (Sirena Beach): If you are still not used to this game, welcome to the hardest boss in the game. SMS and SM64 experts won't be worried about it. Manta, the electric goop creator, is a toughie for most people. Manta doesn't really attack though. He just moves around leaving electric goop behind him and you have to get rid of every little Manta in sight. Start out by standing in place squirting Manta until he is right in front of you. Then hover nozzle over him and clean the electric goop underneath you, so you can land nice and safely. Then squirt more Mini-Mantas and save the biggest one for last and squirt him when you're on a tree. Squirt the huge Manta and all of the smaller Mantas fast. Then once FLUDD says they're all coming after you, they will be colored pink-magenta and 98% of them will come after you. Go refill FLUDD if you haven't in a while, get coins in the small shacks if you're running low on health, and go up on the trees and spray most of the Mantas. If the Mantas head for the tree that you are on, get off fast and squirt a lot of the Mantas. Then squirt all of the rest and when there's one left, that Manta will run away trying to hide. Squirt the last Manta to defeat the hardest boss in the game.

King Boo (Sirena Beach): This is A LOT easier than the battle with King Boo in Luigi's Mansion. King Boo will have a slot machine in front of him and if you spray him when he has the slot machine, the machine will activate. If you take too long, he'll spit out Boos that damage you. Kill the Boos and KB will go get his slot machine. Here's the different kinds of things on the slot machine.

(?)(?)(?) - If it shows this, random enemies will appear and they will attack you. Kill all of them or run underneath King Boo to make King Boo get his slot machine back.

(.0.)(.0.)(.0.) - If it shows the puff dudes, fiery puff dudes will appear and start to run everywhere. Either run underneath King Boo to get his slot machine back or kill the enemies, whatever works best for you.

(?)(.0.)(*) - If it shows three random objects, then King Boo will spit bubbles everywhere. Spray the bubbles and water bottles will appear. These objects refill your FLUDD. Small bottles refill half of your FLUDD's water and big bottles will refill all of your FLUDD's water.

(*)(*)(*) - These are fruits. If there's three of these on the slot machine, King Boo will spew out many kinds of fruits. Grab the pepper and throw it on his tongue to make his tongue catch on fire. Then grab a fruit and throw it at him to damage him. If you don't throw a fruit at him in ten seconds, he will disappear along with all the fruit.

Three fruits will defeat him.

Cannon Mole (Noki Bay): Do the same thing as the first time to beat Episode 1.

Gooper Blooper (Noki Bay): He is no different than from the first battle with Gooper Blooper in Ricco Harbor.

Eely-Mouth (Noki Bay): Ooh, this is a fun battle. Your goal in this is to clean all of Eely's teeth. Just looking at all that black plaque just makes me want to puke. Anyway, the fight takes place deep underwater and you need coins so you won't die of "not breathing". Your goal is to clean all of the teeth. Turn them all white by using the hover nozzle to win the battle. He can swallow you up and cause a little damage. When he goes back down, go get some coins so you can be at full health. After you clean all of Eely's teeth, he will say "Be sure to take care of your teeth” and a golden tooth will appear and turn into a Shine.

Bowser and Junior (Corona Mountain): The showdown with Bowser and his son is pretty darn easy. You're in the high skies (the edge of space) and the battlefield is a hot tub. Very creative! Anyway Bowser will breathe fire at you but you can prevent this by squirting at Bowser's face or in his mouth. Also at random times, he'll do a cannonball and make some toxic water come out of the pool and damage you. This may cause you to fall off of the hot tub down through the sky and you'll be dead if that happens. The entire hot tub is shaped as a Shine and the narrow circular edges make it a little hard to dodge attacks. Also Junior is inside a submarine with a cannon that fires 3-10 Bullet Bills. If you spray the blue Bullet Bills, it'll leave a 1-Up Mushroom or a water bottle and it will be put to good use. To defeat the Bowsers, you have to go to a corner of the Shine-shaped hot tub and rocket nozzle upwards and ground pound the rocket symbol corner and part of the tub will break off. Junior will keep firing more Bullet Bills and Bowser will keep trying to fry you with his flame breath. It will be tougher after every two corners destroyed. There are five rocket symbol corners on the Shine-shaped tub and once all are smashed and broken off of the tub, the tub flips over and Mario, the Bowsers, and Peach fall out of the sky. You've beaten one of the easiest Bowser battles in Mario history!

Hope it was helpful! I worked really hard on it.
