Swings[1] are objects that appear in Super Mario Sunshine. They are wooden swing set-style swings suspended by two ropes, large enough for Mario to comfortably stand on. Swings can be made to swing by spraying water using FLUDD's Squirt Nozzle, which causes them to move in the opposite direction that Mario sprays due to the spray's recoil. Spraying until the swing reaches the apex of its swing and then repeating this process at the apex of its swing in the opposite direction allows Mario to swing higher. If Mario jumps from a moving swing, he can jump further than normal as the swing's momentum is added to the momentum of Mario's jump.
A swing first appears on an island located a small distance away from the mainland in Gelato Beach. They are later found in Pianta Village.
