Corona Mountain is the final area Mario and FLUDD visit in Super Mario Sunshine. The path to this area is opened after Mario and FLUDD complete episode 7 in every other area. Mario and FLUDD chase Shadow Mario in episode 7. Corona Mountain is where the final showdown against Bowser and Bowser Jr. takes place. The volcano contains an area where Mario must jump across timed spiked platforms and an area where the plumber must steer a boat to the other side of a sea of lava. Falling into the lava results in instant death. If the boat collides with anything, it will sink into the lava. Surprisingly, although the boat is made of mud, no harm will come to it if you avoid obstacles. Unlike the other areas, Corona Mountain does not have episodes and is merely an obstacle course, followed by the final battle.
