The Hover Nozzle is one of F.L.U.D.D.'s nozzles in Super Mario Sunshine. It is one of two nozzles that F.L.U.D.D. is equipped with by default at the start of a level, the other being the Squirt Nozzle. Using the Hover Nozzle launches two streams of water downward, which allows Mario to hover through the air for roughly four seconds while rising slightly. If the Turbo Nozzle or Rocket Nozzle are obtained, they will replace the Hover Nozzle until Mario leaves the level or regains the Hover Nozzle from a blue nozzle box.
During certain missions in Noki Bay, F.L.U.D.D. is equipped with a special Hover Nozzle designed for underwater areas. This Hover Nozzle propels Mario upward faster and has no limit to how long it can be used.
