Shine Sprite: Difference between revisions

Through an update for ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' released on February 21, 2018, the Sunshine Outfit is available, which is based on the outfit given to Mario by the [[sunglasses vendor]] and features Shine Sprite designs.

Shine Sprites are also the focus of various mini games in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' games]], namely ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''.

One game, based somewhat on Capture the Flag, has characters attempting to hold a Shine Sprite until the timer is expired. Being struck with any of the game's items, including [[Koopa Shell]]s, [[Banana Peel]]s, and the like causes the character to forfeit their hold on the Shine Sprite, allowing another character to pick it up. In ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', there are nine sprites, with a timer resetting every 30 seconds or so. Whoever has or is tied for the least sprites is then eliminated.  In ''Double Dash!!'', there is only one sprite, and whoever holds it when time runs out wins. Shine Sprites are also featured on a few billboards in the races in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''. In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', [[Sunshine Airport|Sunshine Airport's]] logo is a Shine Sprite itself. In ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', the Shine Thief mode returns. Also, if the player is in 1st place in Battle Mode, a crown is shown with a Shine Sprite on the top of it. In ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' A variant of Mario wearing the sunglasses and outfit, called Mario (Sunshine).
