In its episode, The Manta Storm, before the Manta arrives, the [[electric goop]] that | In its episode, The Manta Storm, before the Manta arrives, the [[electric goop]] that the Manta leaves behind before Mario arrives is in the shape of the Manta itself. When battled, as the Manta moves, it leaves a trail of electric goop. The Manta cannot reach Mario if he is under one of the two huts or under a coconut tree, which is foreshadowed by a [[Pianta]] in one of the huts if Mario speaks to her before the battle. If the Manta is still in its largest form, it can still hurt Mario under the huts or trees. In addition, if Mario stands in the water, the Manta can still reach him, but it cannot produce [[goop]] with a shock. Upon contact with FLUDD's water, the Manta first divides into two. Each of those Mantas can divide into three more. Each of those can divide into four more Mantas. Lastly, each of those can further divide into four more Mantas, making a total of 96 Mantas to defeat. When all of the Mantas have fully divided, they turn pink, become irate, and start swarming towards Mario; until this point, the smallest Mantas do not pursue him, but all the larger ones do. Once the last one is vanquished, Hotel Delfino is restored, revealing a [[Shine Sprite]] for Mario to collect. | ||
