Oh boy! Big Daddy's coming!

Let's a go!

I'll admit, i feel bad for making her do that to herself. But we all gotta make mistakes and learn from them. Besides, I got a solution to her weakness in this chapter. Thanks for reviewing!


Mario and Aqua spawned back in front of the boathouse in Delfino Plaza. FLUDD scanned the area around the Shine Gate and detected that it had gotten brighter.

FLUDD: You two are making good progress. The Shine Gate is getting increasingly brighter for each Shine Sprite you collect.

Mario: Really? That's great! Before we know it, we'll be enjoying our relaxing vacation in no time!

Aqua: Yeah! Though, how are we gonna prove that we didn't make the island dirty?

Mario: We'll have to find those impostors and take them in. Though it's probably not gonna be easy.

FLUDD: Agreed. The last two fights we had with them, they got away too easily.

Aqua: Just who are those strange people anyways?

FLUDD: That is currently unknown. But the data I've received from scanning them may hint that those forms that look like you are just disguises, and their true forms lie underneath their masks.

Aqua: True forms?

Mario: No wonder they look like us! These shadows are trying to ruin our lives! We gotta find out who these impostors really are! Let's head back to Ricco Harbor and look for more Shine Sprites.

They jumped into the M portal once again to find more Shines.


Ricco Harbor

The two overheard a conversation going on between two Piantas again.

Pianta #1: You know, there sure are some odd folks out there… Taming little Bloopers is bizarre enough, but riding on their backs? I tell you, some folks are just plain looney!

Mario: What? How is that even possible?

FLUDD: I have no knowledge of such a technique, but it peaks my interest.

Mario: Mine too.

Pianta #2: Well, are you interested in trying it out?

Pianta #1: Me? No way! I am NOT riding one of those things!

Aqua: Riding on bloopers?

Mario: Maybe we should check that out. Where do we find it?

FLUDD: Perhaps you should check that dock over there.

The two looked to their right to see a guy sitting there with colorful bloopers.

Mario: Oh! Good eye, FLUDD.

They start to head over.

FLUDD: I do not have an eye. I have sensors.

Mario: Oh, sorry! I haven't talked to robots before, so I keep forgetting the differences.

FLUDD: You are forgiven. Sensors do have a similar function to eyes, anyways.

When making it to the dock, the Pianta sitting there got excited.

Aqua: Excuse me? Are you in charge here?

Big Daddy: That's right! I'm the Big Daddy of Blooper-surfing! You like surfing? Hop on a Blooper and give it a whirl!

Mario: Surfing?! AWESOME! I used to surf on the waves back in my teenage years! I'll do it! Wait. We don't have to pay for it, do we?

Big Daddy: Nope! It's all free! Oh, but one thing! Big Daddy waives all liability for accidents.

That word made Aqua go wide eyes.

Aqua: A-a-accidents? What accidents?

Big Daddy: Oh, you know. If you don't ride responsibly, you could crash and get yourself seriously injured, or even killed.

Aqua was horrified at the thought. She'd already witnessed her parents' deaths 2 years ago, and didn't want it to happen to herself.

Aqua: You know, Mario, I think I'll pass on this one.

Mario: You sure?

Aqua: Yeah. You go have fun. I'll just wait here.

Mario: I understand. Alright, I'll be right back!

Big Daddy: Now, hang loose, bud!

Mario grabbed a blooper and took off at high speeds.

Mario: YAAAAHOOHOOHOO!

Aqua watched as Mario swifted and swerved across the sparkling waters of Ricco Harbor, jumping in the air performing impressive tricks, up until he surfed into a tunnel on the other side of the harbor, near where they both faced Gooper Blooper. That was when Aqua couldn't see the plumber anymore. She walked away sadly, feeling bad for making her friend leave her behind.

Aqua: That looks like so much fun. Too bad I'm too scared to do it. I don't wanna die!

She wiped away her tears and looked up. She noticed a huge yellow cage-like structure in the middle of the construction site. She didn't remember seeing that.

Aqua: Was that always there?

Aqua looked closer and saw light in the cage. It was without a doubt, a Shine Sprite.

Aqua: Should I go for that? Maybe I should just wait for Mario to get back.

(C,mon! No need to wait. You're not a damsel in distress. You saved a bunch of Shines by yourself. Go for it!)

Aqua: Who's there?!

(It's me, your conscience. I'm sick of you worrying about yourself so much ever since what happened a couple years ago. Step out of Mario's shadow and go for the shine!)

Aqua: You're right! Though how do I get up there?

(That's something you'll have to figure out. Cause I don't know either, since I'm technically you. Good luck!)

Aqua: No! Wait! What to do? What to do?

Pianta: Hey! This is a dangerous place to be clambering around! And hanging off that hook? An accident in the making!

Aqua: What hook?

The Pianta pointed at a hook an a different ship then the one the heroes were on before. This made Aqua hatch an idea.

Aqua: Thanks mister!

Pianta: What?! I didn't say you cou-! *groan* Kids these days.

The young heroine grabbed the pole on the hook and jumped on top of the stern of the ship. But stopped in her tracks after seeing that the next hook led to a gate with a panel to flip, Aqua had traumatizing flashbacks of what happened to her when she tried to flip through before.

Aqua: Well, I tried. I guess I'll have to wait for Mario to come back.

She was about to sit down and wait, when she noticed something weird next to her. It was a strange looking mushroom she'd never seen before. The lower part of its body had small black eyes, and it was entirely gray in color. Aqua curiously picked it up.

Aqua: What's this?

She felt it and tapped on it. It made clanging noises, confirming it to be metal. Without warning, the mushroom vanished in her hands.

Aqua: Huh?

After the mushroom disappeared, Aqua felt weird. She formed her hands into fists and felt heavier all of a sudden.

Aqua: What's happening?!

Aqua's entire body turned into a bluish metallic appearance. After noticing this abrupt change, she freaked. She was now Blue Diamond Aqua.

*insert Metal Cap music from Super Mario 64*

Blue Diamond Aqua: W-W-What is this?! Help!

(Hey! Calm down!)

Blue Diamond Aqua: Oh, it's you again. I just touched this weird mushroom, and now I look like this! Do you know what this is?!

(I told you, I'm you. So I don't know! But maybe this could help you flip that gate. I mean, you are made of metal, so you can't get hurt.)

Blue Diamond Aqua: Yeah. Maybe this isn't so bad.

Using her new form Aqua used the hover nozzle to get to the other gate. And she managed to flip the gate flawlessly this time.

Blue Diamond Aqua: Yay! It worked!

(Nice! But you gotta keep going!)

Aqua kept moving by going on another pole, leading to another gate which she flawlessly flipped through. Then landing on another platform where she gave a few Bloopers a painful memory. The power up then stopped, and she was normal again.

*Metal Cap music stop*

Aqua: Hey! I'm back to normal!

A worker Pianta jumped, seeing her up here.

Pianta: Wow! You made it all the way up here! That's impressive for someone as little as you!

Aqua: Thank you! Do you know how to get into that cage?

Pianta: There's a moving hook in the back of the construction site. It should take you higher up to the cage.

Aqua: Okay! Thanks, mister!

After she ran away, the Pianta looked puzzled.

Pianta: Where have I seen her before?

Aqua used the hover nozzle to spray down a few squids and get another Metal Shroom from a crate. She used it to flip two more gates before the power up stopped again.

Aqua: Wow! Another amazing view! I wish Mario were here to see this.

The view was great, but Aqua was on a mission. She jumped on a few trampolines that led her right into the cage.

Aqua: Wheee!

SHINE!

Aqua: YIPPEE!

Mario meanwhile, after surfing into the tunnel, the blooper he was riding on disappeared and Mario landed into the underground sewers of Ricco Harbor. It seemed to be built as a racetrack for Blooper Surfing, judging by the colorful bloopers at the start, waiting for a rider, and the dirty looking banner saying "GOAL" hanging on a pipe to look like a finish line. A Pianta residing down here ran to Mario excitedly.

Pianta: Wahoooo! You wanna go for a ride, bud?

Mario: Sure! I'd love too!

Pianta: Go ahead and jump on the Blooper you like best. Go on! Show me some super Blooper—surfing, and win yourself a prize!

FLUDD: I have a feeling this 'prize' he's talking about is a Shine Sprite, Mario. We should follow his orders.

Mario: Let's a go!

Mario picked the pink blooper and he was off!

First was a left turn with a few orange blocks that were easy to dodge, next left turn was a series of cones that Mario used good reflexes to maneuver. Next was a 180 degree turn, where he dodged a moving block and then met spinning blocks which would knock him off his tail, if he weren't looking.

Mario: This is so much fun! If only everyone else were here. They'd have a blast! I feel guilty for leaving poor Aqua behind.

After dealing with rising platforms, which weren't much of a threat, the plumber's final obstacle was a series of 180 turns. Due to how slow the blooper turns, Mario couldn't possibly do this. So he decided to cheat a little and jump over the barriers. He crossed the finish line triumphantly.

Pianta: You, bud, are what I like to call super-deluxe cool! To commemorate the birth of a Blooper-surfing legend…this is for you!

The Pianta held out not one, but TWO Shine Sprites for Mario. This made him so excited!

Mario: Two for the price of ONE?! Thank you so much! *sniff* Mamma Mia… I promised myself I wouldn't cry…

Pianta: Cry all you want, bud. You earned it! (Besides, there's already a lot of water in this game anyways.)

DOUBLE SHINE!

Mario: YAHOO!


Delfino Plaza

Toadette was resting under a tree at the beach, until she received a rude awakening.

Toad: TOADETTE! TOADETTE! TOADETTE!

Toadette: WHAT?! WHAT?! WHAT, TOAD?! I'm trying to get my mind off this whole "polluted island" thing, for at least five minutes!

Toad: There's this new box-breaking minigame on the other side of town! I love it so much, so I thought maybe you'd like to go with me.

Toadette: *groan* Fine! But just to prove I'm better at box-breaking than you.

They walked over to the crate guy's building.

Crate Guy: Hey there! You here for some fun? Break all the crates within 30 seconds to win yourself a prize.

Toadette: Just watch, Toad!

Toadette Karate-kicked and smashed all the crates in the room within 10 seconds. Leaving Toad and the Crate Guy nearly speechless.

Toad and Crate Guy: Wow…

Crate Guy: You're incredible! Take this as a reward!

He holds out a Shine Sprite.

Toadette: Wait. WHAT?! You're handing out Shine Sprites?!

Crate Guy: Yeah. What about- Oof!

Toadette, in a fit of rage, tackled the Crate Guy to the floor.

Toadette: YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT THIS ISLAND IS IN DANGER BECAUSE OF A LACK OF SHINE SPRITES, YET YOU'RE HANDING THEM OUT AS PRIZES?! YOU SHOULD BE IN JAIL! NOT MARIO!

Crate Guy: I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY! I ran out of prizes to give out, so I found a couple of Shine Sprites, and decided to use them instead! I'll give you all my Shine Sprites, just PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!

Toadette took a breather and let him get up. He took out a second Shine Sprite.

Toad: Sheesh!

DOUBLE SHINE!

Toad and Toadette: AW YEAH!


That took awhile to write, so I hope you appreciate it.

Mario: The Metal Powerup in Super Mario Sunshine? That's just weird…

Yeah, I originally wasn't planning powerups, but I thought of a bunch of ideas, and wanted Daisy and Aqua to experience them, so here you go! I will also introduce brand new powerups that I made myself. Most of the new powerups will be tropical themed to fit the style of Sunshine. I so far have a few canon powerups planned as well, but don't know where to put them yet. But some of them will involve FLUDD.

Aqua: Cool! I can't wait to see more!

Daisy: Yeah! Nintendo never let me use these things, so thank you!

Luigi: This will be interesting!

See you later! Fav and Review!
