After defeating another Gatekeeper, the [[Grand Pianta Statue]] comes out of the ground with [[Shadow Mario|the mysterious character resembling Mario]] on top. This Shadow Mario attempts to kidnap Princess Peach, but Mario foils his plan and he escapes into the [[Goop#Rainbow M|Rainbow M]] he paints on the base of the statue. This allows Mario to access [[Bianco Hills]] and recover more Shine Sprites. Later, similar incidents of various landmarks disappearing in goop happen around [[Delfino Plaza]], and cleaning the goop reveals that these places also have portals to different areas of Isle Delfino.

Once Mario recovers ten Shine Sprites, Shadow Mario kidnaps Princess Peach again and flees to [[Pinna Park]]. Mario chases Shadow Mario there and takes down his weapon, [[Mecha-Bowser]]. Shadow Mario comes out of Mecha-Bowser's head and reveals himself to be [[Bowser Jr.]], [[Bowser|Bowser's]] son. He says that Bowser told him Peach is his mother who got kidnapped by a bad guy named Mario. He also reveals the graffiti to be the work of his [[Magic Paintbrush|magic brush]], which he claims was given to him by "[[Professor Elvin Gadd|a strange old man in a white coat]]". Bowser Jr. then takes Peach to Corona Mountain by flying in Mecha-Bowser's head. Unable to rescue Princess Peach, Mario returns to cleaning up and recovering Shine Sprites. He also finds [[Yoshi]] and new [[F.L.U.D.D.#Nozzles|nozzles]] for FLUDD to use, and unlocks more areas of Isle Delfino to explore. In Episode 7 of these areas, Mario must chase down Shadow Mario to obtain a Shine Sprite from him. When these episodes are cleared, Delfino Plaza is suddenly flooded after a surge of water came gushing out of the cave behind the Shine Gate. This flood also wound up destroying the barrier obstructing the cave entrance, allowing Mario access into [[Corona Mountain]]. Working his way to the top of the volcano, Mario finds Bowser and Bowser Jr. relaxing in a huge hot tub of sludge with Peach with them. Mario then battles Bowser and Bowser Jr. by using the [[Rocket Nozzle]] and then ground pounding from high up onto the five platforms protruding from the tub while avoiding Bowser and Bowser Jr.'s attacks. The force of the ground pound on the last platform flips the tub end-over-end and everyone plummets down out of Corona Mountain, while a large Shine Sprite hidden in the pool flies out.

Bowser, Bowser Jr., Mario, and Peach fall from the sky. Mario lands head-first onto an island just west of Delfino Plaza, while Peach floats down with her umbrella and lands softly on the same island that Mario landed on. However, their reunion is cut short when they see FLUDD malfunctioning. After looking at Mario giving its last words, FLUDD shuts down. The Shine Sprite from the hot tub returns to the Shine Gate as the residents of Isle Delfino apologize to Mario for falsely accusing him. Far away from the island, Bowser and Bowser Jr. (who landed on a raft) watch the celebration from the raft. Bowser Jr. had figured out by then that Peach was not really his mother, but wants to fight Mario again. Bowser praises his son and says that they rest a while. Later on, as Mario and Peach enjoy a sunset at Sirena Beach, they notice the Toads carrying FLUDD, which is okay and states, "The vacation starts now!" Pictures of their vacation are shown during the credits, showing Mario and his friends enjoying the island and its wonders. After the credits, a picture of [[Il Piantissimo]] discovering the Magic Paintbrush in the sands of [[Gelato Beach]] is shown, along with "The End" displayed in the lower right hand corner. However, defeating Bowser after collecting all 120 of the Shine Sprites replaces this picture with a group picture of friendly characters in the game posing in [[Casino Delfino]], with text reading "Have a relaxing vacation!" on the bottom.

|style="background:#FFE4E1"|The hero of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] and the game's protagonist. He arrives at [[Isle Delfino]] with the intention of going on vacation with Princess Peach. However, a [[Shadow Mario|shadowy doppelgänger]] has been polluting the island and stealing its [[Shine Sprite]]s. This paints Mario as a trouble-maker and results in his arrest shortly after arriving. Throughout the course of the game, Mario strives to clean the island, restore the Shine Sprites, and clear his name. Mario wears a short-sleeved red shirt in this game instead of his usual long-sleeved one.

He can be used in certain areas after completing "[[Delfino Plaza#Delfino Plaza Events|Event 6: Shadow Mario and the Yoshi Egg]]". Yoshi can perform some of the same actions as Mario, as well as [[Flutter Jump]] and eat enemies with his long tongue. Instead of water, he can spray fruit juice. Different juice has different properties: the type of juice sprayed depends on the last fruit eaten by Yoshi and is also indicated by the color of his skin. Yoshis once lived on Isle Delfino and their likeness is incorporated into rides at [[Pinna Park]]. However, they disappeared after [[Snooza Koopa]]s started to populate the island. Like the enemies in the game, this Yoshi was created by [[Bowser Jr.]] and is made out of [[goop]].

|Mario's robotic companion - the Flash Liquidizer Ultra Dousing Device. Many of Mario's new actions come from utilizing FLUDD, as it enables him to hover and spray water. Progressing through the game unlocks new equippable nozzles that give FLUDD different abilities. During "[[The Goopy Inferno]]" episode and most secret courses, FLUDD is temporarily stolen by [[Shadow Mario]], forcing Mario to navigate the course by himself. Both Shadow Mario's [[Magic Paintbrush]] and FLUDD were built by a [[Professor Elvin Gadd|mad scientist]] at [[Gadd Science, Incorporated]].

|The ruler of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. While on route to Isle Delfino, she is the only one who notices Shadow Mario in the tourist tape that plays on the [[Toad Express|plane]]. She attempts to convey what she sees to Mario and Toadsworth, but they are too busy daydreaming about their vacation. After Mario's arrest, her suspicions are verified when Shadow Mario appears and attempts to kidnap her during the "[[Delfino Plaza#Delfino Plaza Events|Shadow Mario Chase]]" event, only to be rescued by Mario. She remains present in Delfino Plaza and will give Mario words of encouragement until the "Princess in Trouble" event, during which Shadow Mario returns and successfully abducts her. She is held prisoner on [[Corona Mountain]] for the remainder of the game. She represents Mario during his trial at the beginning of the game.

Because of Shadow Mario's mischief, most Piantas are initially rude and dismissive of Mario, but they will gradually warm up to him as he restores the island. Piantas calling themselves "[[chucksters]]" pride themselves in their ability to throw things great distances and will toss Mario if prompted. The ancestral home of the Piantas is [[Pianta Village]].

|Timid sea people that look like marine snails. They will retract into their shells when threatened. Nokis can thrive in saltwater but are highly sensitive to pollution. The dirty sea of their ancestral home, Noki Bay, forced most individuals to flee. They will return in large numbers once Mario fully restores the area.

Snooza Koopas cause the Sunflower Kids to wilt by eating their roots during "[[The Wilted Sunflowers]]" episode. The mother flower, the [[Great Sunflower]], will give Mario a Shine Sprite for defeating them.

|align=center|[[Pinna Park]]

|A comparision between artwork of the [[Bob-omb]] enemy in: ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' ([[List of games by date#1999|1999]]; left), ''Super Mario Sunshine'' ([[List of games by date#2002|2002]]; middle), and ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' ([[List of games by date#2003|2003]]; right). These titles were published within five years of each other.

This game is known for having highly distinctive enemy designs and for not including many traditional enemies from previous titles, such as [[Goomba]]s or [[Koopa Troopa]]s. The ones included that did debut in prior games have designs that are very different from their previous and subsequent appearances in the series (see right). The majority of the new enemies introduced are not integrated into subsequent ''Super Mario'' games. According to the ''[[Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia]]'', the enemies in ''Super Mario Sunshine'' were created by [[Bowser Jr.]] using the [[Magic Paintbrush]] and are made out of [[goop]]. This is supposedly why they are so vulnerable to water and why they look so different from other enemies in the series.<ref name=lore/>

|Vaguely duck-like creatures that will toss Mario high into the air. This will not deplete his [[Health Meter|life meter]] unless he falls on the same patch of ground from which he was launched. They will immediately charge towards Mario after making visual contact. They otherwise will idly patrol the beach or sleep on the ground. Spraying them with water will temporarily leave them dazed, allowing Mario to jump on them, which will cause them to sink into the ground. Spraying them while they are over sand will make them sink without having to jump on them. Mario himself cannot defeat Cataquacks, but they can be eaten by Yoshi or splattered after being launched by a [[Dune Bud]].

|Aggressive bees that will attack Mario if he is near their [[Beehive|hive]]. Spraying the hive causes it to break and unleashes a swarm of many bees. They are the smallest enemies in the game and cannot directly be defeated by Mario. Spraying them with [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]'s juice does not transform them into platforms, but he can eat them. Eating all of the bees in a swarm awards the player with an infrequent collectible.

|Missiles with smiley {{wp|Nose art|sharkmouth}}s. They first appear loosely following the roller coaster tracks during the [[Bowser Statue|Mecha Bowser]] fight at [[Pinna Park]]. The ones fired from Monty Mole's cannon on [[Pinna Park|Pinna Beach]] simply fly in a downwards arc, exploding when they hit the ground. The ones fired from [[Bowser Jr.]]'s boat over [[Corona Mountain]] have blinking red nosecones like the purple variants and will lock onto Mario.

|Blue Bullet Bills launched from Bowser Jr.'s ship during the final fight with [[Bowser]]. They will home-in on Mario similarly to purple ones, but are also able to adjust their vertical position. They can be jumped on and sprayed with water.

|A giant, toothy monster that looks like a ball-and-chain. It suffers from an intense fever that makes it too hot to touch, but spraying it with water cools its body and calms it down. Its chain can be grabbed and dragged by Mario after it is cooled. The Chain Chomp will become completely soothed if dragged into the [[Pianta Village|Pianta Hot Spring]] and will turn [[Gold Chomp|gold]]. It is owned by an orange Pianta and is potentially the parent of her [[Chain Chomplet]]s.

|Segmented cactus enemies. Their body is covered with spines and will damage Mario if jumped on, but their head is vulnerable. They hide with only their flower exposed but will burst from the ground if Mario is in close proximity. Unlike [[Pokey Head|Sanbo Heads]], Pokeys are stationary: they will instead try to strike Mario with their head by falling forward. Doing so temporarily leaves them vulnerable and allows Mario to jump directly on their head.

|Electrically-charged obstacles that look like spiral snail shells. They move slowly along wire ropes. They will shock Mario on contact, but they do not make him lose his grip or balance if he is on the rope. The small red ones can either travel from one end of a water before disappearing and respawning in their original location, or follow Mario along the wire.

|align=center|[[File:RoadtotheBigWindmill.png|100x100px]]<br>'''[[Goop]]'''

|A {{wp|pollutant}} spread all over [[Isle Delfino]] by [[Shadow Mario]]. Mario's traction is reduced when he walks through goop and it makes him slip and slide down slopes if it is on an angled surface. Staying in goop for too long damages him. It can trap people and parts of the terrain. Spraying goop with water causes it to dissipate, free people, and restore the natural environment of a given area. Goop can be a variety of colors and is shot as a projectile by numerous enemies. Some enemies, such as [[Gooble|Swoopin' Stu]]s and [[Piranha Plant]]s, directly spawn from goop. It apparently tastes like candy.

*''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'': FLUDD and the [[Magic Paintbrush]] are inventions of [[Professor E. Gadd]]. During the third episode of Sirena Beach, one of the employees in the hotel claims that the ghosts are annoying and wishes that "Someone would come and suck them away with a vacuum or something" and then asks Mario "Why are you looking at me like that?". When Mario tries to open locked doors in [[Hotel Delfino]], he makes a similar grunt to the noise that Luigi makes in the same situation in this game.

*''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'': Delfino Plaza reappears as a Past Stage in the Wii U version of this game as well as the two themes used in the stage: Delfino Plaza and Ricco Harbor. [[Shadow Mario]] and the [[Magic Paintbrush]] appear as part of Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings' [[Final Smash]] [[Shadow Mario Paint]].

*''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'': If set to a ranged type, Bowser Jr. uses his Magic Paintbrush as his weapon.

Mario encounters [[Shadow Mario]]'s [[Goop#Graffiti|M Graffiti]] on the ground during the opening cutscene for ''Bowser's Fury''. The way Mario chases the [[Fury Shadow]]s to get a [[Cat Shine]] is similar to how he has to chase Shadow Mario to get a Shine Sprite.
