The '''Shine Gate''' is a large historical monument located in [[Delfino Plaza]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. The Shine Gate has a huge effigy of a [[Shine Sprite]] in the middle of it, from which it derives its name. Normally, [[Isle Delfino]]'s many resident Shine Sprites gather at the Shine Gate, but after [[Shadow Mario]] covered its effigy in black [[goop]], the Shine Sprites fled. At some point during the game, [[Mario]] must restore the Shine Gate by using [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]]'s [[Rocket Nozzle]] (or [[Hover Nozzle]]) to reach the Shine Sprite effigy, then use FLUDD's [[F.L.U.D.D.#Squirt Nozzle|Squirt Nozzle]] to clean it off. Once it has been cleaned completely, a hidden Shine Sprite appears and positions itself high above the middle of the Shine Gate, where it can be collected only by using the Rocket Nozzle. If Mario leaves Delfino Plaza without collecting the Shine Sprite, the goop will respawn when Mario next returns to the plaza, and he will have to clean it again.
