It's now down to Mario to help the islanders return to their normal livesĪfter the intro movie, Mario and the crew have assemble outside of the plane at Delfino Airstrip, but something's not right. It has been covered with graffiti by a mysterious mustached miscreant and as a result the island's energy source, the Shine Sprites, have been scattered all around. As they arrive, they find the island in crisis. Its name is derived from gelato, Italian ice cream. The story begins with an introduction video of Mario, Princess Peach, Toadsworth, and some other toads making their way to the sunny beaches of Isle Delfino for vacation. Gelato Beach is a pink sand beach resort location on Isle Delfino in Super Mario Sunshine and is located on the stomach part of the dolphin shaped island, east of Sirena Beach. The walkthrough shows how to gather every Shine Sprite, but you do not need to collect every single one in the game to complete the game. The game's goal is to reach the final linear milestone, but to do so you have to collect a required amount of Shine Sprites as you go along.

These areas are where the more traditional gameplay takes place. Each region is isolated from the rest, accessible only through specific portals, tunnels, etc. There is a central area, Delfino Plaza, and several 'adventure' or 'episode' areas which branch off from it. The Isle Delfino has several regions to explore.

This walkthrough is split up to lead you through the linear milestones, but also provide all of the details necessary for clearing the open world areas. Super Mario Sunshine is very similar to its predecessor, Super Mario 64, in that the gameplay is open world, with linear story milestones.
