The Turbo Nozzle is one of F.L.U.D.D.'s nozzles in Super Mario Sunshine. To use it, the player must hold down the spray button to charge it up for several moments, with it only fully activating when the button is held down all the way. Using it propels Mario forward at high speed. It can be used on land or in water, though Mario's ability to turn while using it is more drastically hindered on land than in water. Also, by using it over water, the tank can be kept full indefinitely. Using the Turbo Nozzle is the only way to break through Turbo-bashable doors. The Turbo Nozzle can be obtained from gray nozzle boxes. However, they are not available at the start of the game, and the boxes will be transparent and intangible. To make the box in Delfino Plaza active, Mario must collect 25 Shine Sprites, after which Shadow Mario will be seen in Delfino Plaza holding the nozzle. Chasing him down unlocks the Turbo Nozzle for Delfino Plaza use. In levels featuring them, a hard-to-reach Nozzle Box will be solid while the rest are transparent at first; collecting the Turbo Nozzle from this box activates all the others in the level permanently, even in other episodes. Obtaining the Turbo Nozzle replaces the Hover Nozzle or Rocket Nozzle if Mario had them previously.
