The player starts in a small port area with some storage sheds. One of the [[Manhole]] entrances is in this area as is a box with a [[Turbo Nozzle]]. During Episodes [[Blooper Surfing Safari|2]] and [[Red Coins on the Water|6]], there is a pier to the right where the [[Big Daddy of Blooper-surfing]] lets Mario use his [[Blooper Racer]]s. Around the port are two large boats the player can use to reach other areas of the level.

Around the port are two large boats the player can use to reach other areas of the level.


The boat directly ahead of the player's starting position leads to the large port. The boat itself has a fenced off deck that holds a few [[Swoopin' Stu]]s. The player can take one of two ways to reach the port: By simply jumping of the left side of the ship, the player lands in a lower area with many crates and the large Ricco Tower. By using a Manhole here, the player can reach the upper ledge and into the port. Another way is to use a swinging grate platform off the right of the ship. The grate brings the player to two other platforms with an arrow on them, pointing toward the helipad ahead. During [[Gooper Blooper Breaks Out|Episode 1]], a large chain-link box maze is available to help the player across the platforms. After the arrow platforms is another swinging platform that leads to a [[Chuckster]]. The distance of the throw depends on the episode number, with later episodes having the Pianta throw Mario farther. To the left of this platform is a submerged submarine, which the player can surface by spraying the wheel above them. Crossing the submarine leads to a rising platform the player can use to reach the port.<br>

During [[Gooper Blooper Breaks Out|Episode 1]] and [[Blooper Surfing Safari|Episode 2]], a large chain-link box maze is available to help the player across the platforms. This is replaced by a large yellow bottle shaped cage from [[The Caged Shine Sprite|Episode 3]] on. After the arrow platforms is another swinging platform that leads to a [[Chuckster]]. The distance of the throw depends on the episode number, with later episodes having the Pianta throw Mario farther. To the left of this platform is a submerged submarine, which the player can surface by spraying the wheel above them.

The large port has several buildings along the hillside, though Mario cannot enter any of them. During certain episodes, [[Blooper]]s can be found sliding across the ground. Near the houses is a large [[fruit]]-dispensing machine; by [[Ground Pound]]ing the large buttons on top, a random fruit drops out. Beyond the fruit machine is a plaza where [[Gooper Blooper]] is fought during the first episode or a large market with a [[Yoshi Egg]] is found during later episodes. To the right of the plaza is a tall helipad the player can reach by using the [[Rocket Nozzle]] found underneath it.

The boat to the right of the player's staring position leads to a large obstacle course-like group of beams and platforms positioned over the level. The only time the player really needs to climb these platforms is during Episode 3: [[The Caged Shine Sprite]]. The platforms are made up of chain-link fences the player can climb, which contain panels to flip around using {{button|GCN|B}}, large cranes that carry the player across gaps, moving platforms, and trampolines.

In Episodes 1-5, there is a layer of black [[Goop]] over the water that will damage Mario if he makes contact with it. The goop cannot be cleaned off, but the player can dive underneath it without contacting it. The location of the goop changes each episode and appears in areas near where the Shine in that episode appears. In Episodes 6-8, the goop disappears and Mario can explore the waters of the harbor freely. The black goop appears in the following locations:
*Just below the plaza in Episode 1
*In front of the tunnel leading into the racecourse in Episode 2
*Below the bottle shaped cage in Episode 3
*By the lighthouse in Episode 4
*Below the helipad in Episode 5
