FLUDD is a robot squirter who you use to squirt water. Water squirted is used to clean up paint and other things There are 4 nozzles:

Spray: This is always with you no matter what. It squirts water in any direction.
Hover: This is the 2nd of 2 nozzles you start with. You can hover around for a few seconds.
Turbo: Unlock this at the 25 Shine Sprite mark. Use this to speed around quickly.
Rocket: Unlock this at the 30 Shine Sprite mark. This will blast you about 50 feet in the air.

Each nozzle is helpful in a different way.
 

Items
Rainbow Ms: These will transport you to levels.
Golden Shine Sprite: You get one each time you beat a level. There are 120 in all.
Darkened Shine Sprite: These are worth nothing. These will replace Goldie's in levels that are completed.

Delfino Airstrip
Shine Sprite 1: Delfino Airstrip Dilemma
Now start the level and run around the Piranha Plant. Go over to a little gadget with E, Gadd's symbol on it. The gadget is near some giant boxes. It will decide to help you. Now run over to the Plant and spray it in the mouth with FLUDD. Do it three times until the Plant's game ends. Now go and grab your Shine Sprite.

Shine Sprite 2: Turbo-Powered Coin Collecting
After you've beaten Bowser you can come back here. You now see there is a chain of coins. Grab the Turbo Nozzle and start blasting, collecting the coins. Try to get all the red coins along the way.
1. Inside the tower. Blast through the doors.
2. On top of boat 1.
3. On top of boat 2.
4. The mid-point.
5. In the middle of the buoys.
6. Under the bridge.
7. Along in the middle of the enemies
8. Along at the end of the enemies.
Now go and claim your Shine.
 

Delfino Plaza
Okay, here you need to defeat the Piranha Plant the same way you did before. Now run after Shadow Mario and squirt him with water. Do this until he drops Peach.

Shine Sprite 1: Shine in the Sand
Run over to the sand near the lighthouse. Spray around in the sand until you see a goldish thing near the middle. Spray it for a bit and a Shine Sprite will pop out. You can now fight a Piranha Plant on the dock. Defeat him for Ricco Harbor.

Shine Sprite 2: Crate Game
To get the Shine Sprite you must break all the boxes in a time limit. A good trick is to smash in the middle of 2 or 4 boxes. Always destroy the highest box tower first or you won't be able to reach the higher boxes.

Shine Sprite 3: Box Game
This is the exact same as the crate game only with a different name. Just beat it again in under thirty seconds and boom, a Shine Sprite.

Shine Sprite 4: Western
Spay the bell on the west tower. To get up there strap on the Rocket Nozzle and blast away. Once at the top spray the bell until it is completely clean.  Now when the Shine Sprite appears jump over to the green awning on the building across from the tower. Now go through the manhole and into the tower and collect your prize.

Shine Sprite 5: Eastern
Do the same as the western bell only the Shine will appear in a different spot.

Shine Sprite 6: Mario Throw
Go to the Pianta sitting on the roof near the highest building. Pay him a coin and he'll throw you through the tower window into the Shine!

Shine Sprite 7: Gold Bird
Go to the island out with the fire. Now every so often a bird will swoop around. Squirt him 3 times for a Shine Sprite.

Shine Sprite 8: Dash Through the Door
Strap on the Turbo Nozzle and burst down the door nearest the middle statue. Inside is a Shine Sprite.

Shine Sprite 9: Top of the Lighthouse
Grab the Rocket Nozzle and blast to the top of the tower. Now do a ground pound on the fireball.

Shine Sprite 10: Shining Statue
Near the crate shop, there is that giant tower. Take the Rocket Nozzle and blast up to the ledge. Now clean the Shine. Now a real Shine Sprite will appear really high up. Jump to the ground. Now blast off to the very top by jumping then blasting. Once you land on top blast straight up and aim for the new Shine Sprite. Don't fall.

These next few are secret levels.

Shine Sprite 11: Giant Slide
To get here, go to the beach. Now hop across those things in the water. Jump into the warp pipe. It will take you to a giant slide. Slide down it to the bottom without falling to get a Shine Sprite.

Shine Sprite 12: Pinball
This is super hard so be ready. Hop on the boat. When you go under the bridge jump up into the bottom of the bridge. This will transport you to the pinball machine in the sky. Collect all 8 coins to get a Shine Sprite. There are two ways to get coin 5 and 6. 1 to 4 are easy. 5 to 8 are hard.
1. Ground pound on the launcher to go up and fly to the beginning. It is right above you.
2. This is above coin no. 1.
3. This is above coin no. 2.
4. Use FLUDD to fly straight over to the middle at the top of the machine. Drop into the hole.
5. Either fly over to the coin on the left of coin 4, or when you go down the slide jump into the hole get it.
6. Either fly over to the coin on the right of coin 4, or jump into the hole on the left of coin 5.
7. Let yourself drop until you see the correct hole to drop in, it is on the bottom left of coin 5.
8. Let yourself drop until you see the correct hole to drop in, it is on the bottom right of coin 6.
Don't fall to the bottom or your game ends. Now grab your Shine Sprite.

Shine Sprite 13: Lily Pad River
I suggest playing a few levels in Bianco Hills before playing this. This is the hardest level in the entire game. Are you ready? Only one chance! Let us go! Okay, get Yoshi to come out. Remember Yoshi's game ends if he gets wet. Now run to the entrance of the pinball game. Then wait until the boat is leaving for the island. Eat fruit, then run and jump onto the top of the boat. Now jump off the boat and onto the island. Squirt some juice at the fruit on the trees and let it wait there. Now when the boat comes to the island, grab the fruit and eat it. Now jump on the boat and ride it to the platform in the water. When the next boat nears, eat the bananas and jump on. Now ride to the island. You have now completed the easy part.  Now spray Yoshi's juice on the yellow stuff and jump into the warp pipe. You will appear on a dirty river with really bad lily pads. It is time to collect 8 red coins. Not only are you unable to afford missing one, but you also have to do it with the left and right controls reversed. If you miss a coin, keep going and grab the 1-Up. Don't touch the water either.
1. In the middle of the water, in the beginning part of the track.
2. In the middle of the water, in the beginning part of the track.
3. On the right side of the water in the beginning part of the track.
4. In the middle of the water, in the middle part of the track.
5. On the left side of the water, in the middle part of the track.
6. On the right side of the water, at the end of the track.
7. This is high in the air at the middle of the track, at the end; do a side-flip to get it.
8. This is on a platform; do a side-flip to reach it.
Now collect the hardest Shine to get. You have beaten the hardest level now.

Shine Sprite 14: No Stopping
Get the Turbo Nozzle and run straight through the doors of the police station. Once in there keep running no matter what. One thing though, right at the red line, jump! Now at the top of the hill you can jump and make it all the way past the first red block into the Shine, or just go to the bottom and continue.

Shine Sprite 15: Grass Field
This may the most strangely positioned place in the game. To get here go to where the cannon is with the Rocket Nozzle. Now jump into the water and float to about the boundary. Now charge up and at the last second, jump. Try try to aim for the tree nearest the end. If you land on it, jump to the tree on your side. Now hop into the pipe. You’ll be in a meadow. Now you must collect 8 red coins. It will be easier to collect the 8 red coins if you go to a birds-eye view.
1. On the smallest platform.
2. Destroy the enemy in the corner.
3. Destroy the enemy in the middle of the trees.
4. Destroy the enemy on the left of tree no. 3.
5. Destroy the enemy in the opposite corner of coin 2.
6. Go to the corner in between coin 2 and 5.
7. This one is hard. Chase the Pianta on fire and squirt water on him until he is extinguished.
8. Look for a red bird, and now squirt him 3 times.

Shine Sprite 16: 100-Coin Collecting.
Okay, here are all the ways I have found to get gold coins
1. Squirt water in an open window.
2. Squirt water on a poster.
3. Spray a green bird 3 times.
4. There are 6 coins underwater.
5. In the tunnels underground there are about 30 coins.
If you want an easier route go back to the Airstrip and you can get them in a jiffy.

Da-da-da! Time for me to tell you where all the items and stuff are on the island!

Blue Box: By the statue in the town square.
Red Box: By the statue in the town square.
Gray Box: By the statue in the town square.
Yoshi Egg: On top of the building to the left of the starting point.
1-Ups: 2 are in manholes, one is hidden under the beach in the sand. 1 is in the hole in the water by the cannon. 1 you get by putting out a fire on an island by the lighthouse.
Mango: On the island by the cannon.
Pineapple: In a fruit stand by the beach.
Pear: In a fruit stand by the beach.
Banana: In a fruit stand by the beach.
Pepper: In a fruit stand by the beach.
Durian: In a fruit stand by the beach.

I’ve only named a few of the fruit locations. Others are in other places.
 

Bianco Hills
Shine Sprite 1: Road to the Big Windmill
First get down the big scary slip’n’slide. Now run through the village until you come across a wall. To get over it the easiest path is to use the ropes. Just get onto one of the ropes and go across. Now if you’re too bored to use that path, tale a longer one by racing over to the big wheel. Just jump on and you’ll float up. On the other side of the wall you’ll find all this paint. No need to fear because you are here. Well don’t clean it up or you’ll waste water. Run over to the big Paint Piranha and do your drill. Once done, collect the Shine and go.

Shine Sprite 2: Down with Petey Piranha
This is one of the best levels. Do the steps from the last Shine until you get to the spot where the Paint Piranha was. You now see there is a bridge-type thing. Just fly across it. Now you trek up Mount Windmill. Start your trip by climbing up the path. You’ll eventually come across these giant paint balls. They won’t follow you but they block the path. Keep going up, dodging the balls. Now you’ll come to a refreshing grassy area. Fill up on water and don’t waste it on anything but flying. Keep going until you come across some red thorns. Just fly around them. Now you’ll encounter a bigger patch. Make sure you don’t fly too little or you’ll fall. Once you get to the top of the giant windmill these wooden planks will come around. Just simply jump on. At the top you’ll meet the now famous, Petey Piranha! Well he may be famous but he’s still going down. With the extra wait the roof collapses and you fall into a hole. Petey Piranha attacks you by vomiting paint! Ewwww. When he opens his mouth before vomiting, spray water in his mouth. Spray until he gets a stomachache and falls over. Now do a ground pound on his bellybutton. He will vomit out the water and start all over again. Do this 3 times to win.

Shine Sprite 3: The hillside Cave Secret
Before the fun we (of course) have to get to the cave. The easiest path is to go to the bridge. Now fly across the platforms on the water. Jump onto the hill. Now try to find your way up the rocks. Once at the top enter the cave. Shadow Mario will steal FLUDD. In the level you must use your eyes. First there are 5 blocks you must jump across. Before you start the annoying checkers type thing, study the patterns and learn the best path for you. Well you now see some magical floating cubes. Time it perfectly and run like you’re crazy. Last jump across the 2 spinning stars. Don’t bother with the 1-Ups because they will throw you off course.

Shine Sprite 4: Red Coins of Windmill Village
This is easy. Collect all the red coins.
1. On the top of the bump in the wall.
2. Go to the bells and on the right of them in a secret place is a coin.
3. On top of the building nearest coin 1.
4. Locate the double ropes and then go to the bottom ones and jump for joy.
5. Get the Rocket Nozzle and blast to the top of one of the highest buildings.
6. From coin 5 go across the ropes to the wall where coin 6 lays.
7. Go to the miniature windmill and spray water on it. Now ride it up to coin 7.
8. Go to the building farthest left, then fly using the Rocket Nozzle to the top.
Collect your Shine Sprite.

Shine Sprite 5: Petey Piranha Strikes Back
This may be the most annoying level ever (with the exception of the Lily Pad level). This is easy but annoying. You can clean but it isn’t necessary. Grab the Rocket Nozzle and blast to an edge over by the building or clean off the Pianta so he can throw you. Go to the break in the fence. Now press R and suck up some of the pig balloons. Now fire them at Petey. If you get them too full they’ll pop, though, so be careful. Petey now flies around attacking the village. Spray water at Petey and he’ll fall to the ground. He’ll attack you with a tornado. Wait for him to get ready to vomit. Then spray the water in his mouth. Do this 3 times to win. Now get your Shine.

Shine Sprite 6: The Secret of the Dirty Lake
Okay, to get to the cave you can take 2 routes. Route 1: Go over to the lake on the right of the windmill. Jump onto the lily pad. Now turn around and spray. Spray the opposite direction of the one you want to go towards. Route 2: Climb to the top of the windmill. Do get on the moving platforms! Now jump and hover over to the cave, then dive! Now, like in Shine 3, Shadow Mario steals FLUDD. This will take awhile so you’d better have around 6 lives or be really good! To start you must get through these flipping red and blue platforms. They flip alternately. Time it and jump at the last second each time. Now you’ll see a huge gap. To get through this you have to jump and land on the blue wall on its side, then do a wall jump. If you miss you may fall down to another green platform. Jump on the trampoline to try again. Now jump onto the white cube. It will start moving so stay on the top. Next is the yellow platform thing, which moves the same, only faster. Stay on the top. To stay on the top run around to the side flipping. Finally the blue and red blocks attack you again. Do the same as last time and get your Shine Sprite.

Shine Sprite 7: Shadow Mario on the Loose
This level is easy. All you do is chase him around and squirt him. He will stay in the village. If you can’t beat this turn off the game.

Shine Sprite 8: The Red Coins of the Lake
You get there and see there are 8 red coins. You will soon hate this level.
1. Use the ropes at the beginning to cross to the tree and then grab coin 1.
2. Use your squirt nozzle and the leaf to get to coin 2.
3. At the edge of the water take the ropes up until you can get coin 3.
4. Walk the rope until you can get coin 4.
5. Jump down to the platform and cross to your next coin. Dodge the spiky things.
6. From coin 5 side-somersault to the platform ever so slightly above you, then use a rope as a trampoline.
7. From rope 6 take the rope next to it all the way to coin 7.
8. The easiest way is to fly from the windmill all the way to a rope nearest it. Now jump to coin 8.
Collect your new Shine Sprite.

Shine Sprite 9: Red Coins of the Hillside Cave
You have 1:00 to get 8 coins. Go! Oh, and you have FLUDD.
1. In-between the left blocks at the beginning.
2. On the bottom left of the orange boxes.
3. On the bottom right of the orange boxes.
4. On the top left of the orange boxes.
5. On the top right of the orange boxes.
6. On the 1st star. Get there by flying.
7. On the 2nd star. Get there by flying.
8. On the 3rd star. Get there by flying.

Shine Sprite 10: Red Coins of the Dirty Lake
You have 1:30 to get all 8 red coins. This level isn’t that fun, but deal with it.
1. Since you can hover you can beat the red and blue flipping platforms, so grab the coin and go.
2. Above the first and only star.
3. On the red arrows.
4. On the ride up on the second cube.
5. On the ride up on the second cube.
6. On the last red and blue platforms.
7. On the last red and blue platforms.
8. On the last red and blue platforms.
Ta-da! You got all the Shine Sprites here!

Now I’ll tell you where everything is.

Blue Box: In the middle of the village on the ground, and on the windmill mid-part.
Red Box: On the platform in the water near the cave.
Gray Box: Diagonal from the blue box in the village, on the left of the wheel, and in the entrance to level 6.
Yoshi Egg: At the very beginning to the left.
1-Ups: You can spray the bells and a shine will come out.
Mango: On the island left of the trees.
Pineapple: In the middle of the trees.
Pear: In the middle of the trees.
Banana: Between two of the trees, and on the island with the mango.
Durian: In the middle of the trees.

I’ve only named a few fruit places. There may be more.

Ricco Harbor
Shine Sprite 1: Gooper Blooper Breaks Out
I will be taking the shortest route. Start off by running over to the cages. Jump on top of them. Now run and jump onto the smoke stack. Side somersault, then hover to the metal platform. Run across it to the land. Now wasn’t that quick! On the lovely ground run over to the boxes that have a tentacle sticking out of them. Push B to grab the tentacle. Now pull backwards. A giant Blooper appears. His name is Gooper Blooper! Spray his face with water. He’ll get angry, then slam his tentacles at you. Ground pound them to have them turn into pancakes. Now pull them both off like you did before. Don’t bother with the tentacles on the side. Run up and pull the cork until it pops out! Now he’s furious. He flies through the air and into the water. But wait, he comes back! Now do the same as before and you’ll get the golden masterpiece.

Shine Sprite 2: Blooper Surfing Safari
This one is really hard yet fun! Once you start this level turn right and run across the logs. Now hop on any Blooper. Green is very slow, do not use it! Pink is extremely fast, it’s good but hard to control. Yellow is just perfect! So hop on any one. You’ll shoot off like a rocket. Try to grab some coins. Follow the coins and pass through the black paint and ink. Now head into the cave. You’ll appear back on your feet and see the Bloopers again! Talk to the man, then choose one of the Bloopers. Now I suggest yellow, but pink will work too. Once you get on you have 45 seconds to complete the track. Try to avoid the obstacles along the way, especially the spinning walls! Now near the middle you come to some walls. Keep going straight and jump over the wall. Now ride past the second and jump the third. Now fly into the finish. Collect your reward.

Shine Sprite 3: The Caged Shine Sprite
I’d play this level once you get good, because it is hard! You see a giant cage with a shine in it. Well the only good part is that there are arrows pointing the way. Now jump off the smoke stack and onto the metal. Go to the yellow hook and ride across the gap. Turn Mario backwards and jump backwards and land on the wall. Mario turns no matter what. Jump from the chain-link across to the other one, then from that to the platform. Now grab the nozzle, then jump across the gaps- errrrrrrrr, hover across the gaps. Now grab the Rocket Nozzle. You see tons of trampolines. Make your way through them and jump into the cage to collect, well, you know.

Shine Sprite 4: The Secret of Ricco Tower
I’m going to say you know how to get to the town type place. Now side-somersault to the rooftops. Walk across until you find the Rocket Nozzle. Get to where the giant tower is. Blast to the white, wooden platform. Now do it again. Then blast a third time for the top. Now enter the hole. You’ll land in a special world. If you are like me you’ll suddenly really like 8-bit Mario. Here we go. There are 3 steps. First jump across the spinning prisms. Now land on the safe spot. (A safe spot is a place in the level where there are no enemies or movement on the platform.) Now jump across the weird, gear-like things. Finally do the same as before until the giant prism! This thing is massive. But don’t stare to long or your game will end. Finally at the end get your Shine.

Shine Sprite 5: Shadow Mario Revisited
This is relatively easy. Just chase Shadow Mario and spray him until he jumps onto the catwalks, and then chase him through there still spraying. Simple.

Shine Sprite 6: Yoshi’s Fruit Adventure
Okay, you won’t be able to beat this level without Yoshi. To get Yoshi, beat episode 4 in Pinna Park. Now once you do have Yoshi, come back to this level. Okay, run over to the fruit-holding things. Now get a spiky fruit out. (Apparently they are called durians.) Now kick it to Yoshi and its egg will hatch. Now hop on Yoshi and ride to the Harbor’s edge. Spray the fish that jumps, and fly onto it. Now from there jump to the platform. Now flutter jump (where Yoshi kicks his legs and flies for a limited time) to the ledge. Spray the tree next to you for a coconut. Eat it. Now spray the next fish. The new platform has a different color and moves differently so you can reach the shine. Hop through the jungle course (expression) and spray Yoshi’s juice to unlock the key to your shine. Remember, Yoshi + water = bad. And to get through that cage, just ground pound it.

Shine Sprite 7: Red Coins in Ricco Tower
Okay get into the level. (For help go to level 4.)
1. On the second rolling prism.
2. On the fourth rolling prism.
3. In between the 2 blue walls.
4. In between the 2 blue walls.
5. On the rolling track of the second spinning gear.
6. On the second rolling platform.
7. On the fourth rolling platform.
8. On the giant rolling platform.
Get your Shine.

Shine Sprite 8: Blooper Surfing Sequel
Just go back to episode 2 and beat the race in under 40 seconds. This is easy as Couple’s Cake.

Now I’ll tell you (yet again) where everything is. Stop crying, I’m getting there…
Blue Box: 1 in the small town, 1 on the boat, 1 near Ricco Tower.
Red Box: 2 on the catwalks, 1 where Gooper Blooper was the second time, 1 on a building.
Grey Box: 1 where you start, 1 in the town.
Yoshi: Where Gooper Blooper was the first time.
1-Up: I haven’t found any.
Mango: In the fruit tub.
Pineapple: In the fruit tub.
Pear: In the fruit tub.
Banana: In the fruit tub.
Durian: In the fruit tub.
I’ve only named a few fruit places so there might be more.

Now before I start Gelato Beach, if anyone knows how to get a 1-Up or finds a mistake in my guide you can contact me by email. Also, try to figure out why that cruise ship is there. I can’t figure it out!
 

Gelato Beach
Shine Sprite 1: Dune Bud Sand Castle Secrets
Okay, you may have already noticed all those weirdo things in the ground. If you spray them they poof into a giant sand sculpture. Run to the middle of the beach. Near the water there is a plant thing. Now spray it and a sand castle will pop out. Run through the sandcastle door. (It is okay if you get to it when it is falling as long as part of it is still up) Now you’ll appear in yet another special level. You will have to run across melting sand, so don’t stop moving until you’re on a safe spot. Keep going until you get to the big structure. Jump up the structure, and at the top there is a Shine Sprite. I would not go for the 1-Ups if I were you.
