F.L.U.D.D.

Created by Professor E. Gadd, F.L.U.D.D. becomes Mario’s companion and the central tool for cleaning Isle Delfino. Its advice and abilities shape both the story and platforming.

• Story: The investigation into the island’s pollution gives the pack an immediate purpose. Secret stages temporarily remove it, highlighting how much the normal movement style depends on its assistance.
• In the game: Learn the Squirt, Hover, Rocket and Turbo functions separately. Water supply, charge time and landing plans matter; the Hover Nozzle cannot rescue every jump once its limited burst is exhausted.
