Collectibles and completion
Optional discoveries, useful collections and completion goals in Super Mario Sunshine.
Spoiler notice: This guide discusses story progression or late-game content.
Original GameCube campaign; controller mappings vary in later releases.
Shine Sprites
The game contains 120 Shine Sprites across episodes, secrets and other challenges. Track story-opening requirements separately from the full collection.
Blue Coins
Blue Coins can depend on the selected episode. Write down both the area and episode when following a route; a missing object may not be available in every visit.
Coin exchanges
At the boathouse, groups of ten Blue Coins can be exchanged for a Shine. These exchange rewards are part of the overall Shine total, not an additional total beyond it.
Use the edition note above when comparing a checklist with another release. Story completion, collecting and platform achievements are separate goals.
