Goop: Difference between revisions

Graffiti is the main type that Shadow Mario uses throughout the game. It is usually painted on walls, though it also appears on other flat surfaces. The Magic Paintbrush has a seemingly endless supply of it, and it can be used to create other types of goop. For example, Shadow Mario is seen painting [[#Rainbow M|Rainbow M]]s with the Magic Paintbrush, which is tipped with graffiti. There is also a "raw" form that Shadow Mario uses to paint his infamous "M" signature, known as M Graffiti,<ref name=Versus>Loe, Casey. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Perfect Guide.

Along with Shadow Mario's signature, there are also painted symbols that come in pairs, known as Paired Graffiti.<ref name=Versus/> The symbols that appear are "×" (X Graffiti),<ref>Loe, Casey.

Page 54.</ref> Graffiti is most often colored red, though green graffiti appears in Ricco Harbor, and black graffiti was used to deface the [[Shine Monument]], as well as the bells inside Delfino Plaza's two bell-towers. When graffiti is sprayed long enough, it will be completely cleaned off the wall. After it is cleaned off, a [[Blue Coin]] will be released for Mario to collect (with the only two exceptions being the two graffiti "M" symbols on the sides of the water tanks at the Delfino Airstrip, which release only regular gold coins). In the case of paired symbols, when one symbol is cleaned off, the Blue Coin appears next to its matching symbol, and vice versa. If Mario does not collect the Blue Coin in time, it will disappear, and the graffiti he cleaned off will reappear. He must then backtrack and clean it off a second time to make the Blue Coin appear once again. Mario will earn a [[Shine Sprite]] for cleaning the graffiti off the Shine Monument and each of the two bells.
