Super Mario Sunshine/Gameplay

Super Mario Sunshine takes on a feel very similar to that of Mario 64. This time around, however, Mario has a little help that makes this game more interesting.

Health
when ever you collect a coin you get 1 health mark back. when you get hit or stay in goop long enough you start to lose health

Red Coins
Within each level are eight red coins. After collecting all eight coins in a given level, a shine will appear somewhere within the level.

Blue Coins
in lots of levels there are symbols that FLUDD can wash off and if there are 2 identical shapes wash 1 off and you have a small amount of time to run to the other one and the coin that pops out do the same with the other shape and you can get another blue coin. there are coins hidden out over levels as well.

Yoshi
Yoshi can be acquired at any time, however he'll be stuck inside of his egg and won't want to come out unless you have something to coax him with. If you go up to a Yoshi Egg you'll see a thought bubble with the food he desires. Go ahead and grab one from somewhere in the area and bring it to him. He'll pop out and you'll be able to mount him for some extra firepower. Yoshi can eat enemies and spit (or vomit) powerful liquids that can burn through enemies or jelly.
