Time to tackle the hub of Super Mario Sunshine!

This is a series where we take a stage, level, or whatever, and dissect the most interesting bits and bobs. Delfino Plaza is super broken (I'd like to think so anyway), so there's a lot of unexpected findings. There's also way too much to cover in one video, so let me know what needs to make an appearance in part 2!

Also if it's not clear, SOME spoilers.

We'll be going over:
Secrets: Uncovering the stage's most well hidden secrets. And I don't mean Shines and Blue Coins!
Exploits/Tricks: Not quite a glitch, but a move that does take advantage of the game in unexpected ways
Glitches: Wall clips and other wild game malfunctions.
"Tips for developers": You don't really need gameplay tips in the hub world, so we're going to give the developers tips on how to improve their game ;)

I figured out a number of these on my own, but most of these come from the community this time, especially Rocket Storage and Invisible Delfino Plaza. A few of these were suggested by commenters, so thank you!

This series still needs a name change! Perhaps I'll just go with Particular Spaghetti. It has a nice ring to it.

    Actually, the "Exhausted Pianta" DOES share a voice line with another Pianta, although that's assuming they're not the same one. In Gelato Beach's "Red Coins in the Coral Reef", the ornithologist Pianta uses that voice line.

    Fun Fact: The 100 coin shine in the box would crash the game on the Japanese version due to not having a valid position to spawn to.

    God I wish there were more episodes of this. This is the coziest series in my life so far and I ration watching it to avoid burnout ❤
  • I don't know what it is, but your intro makes all my life's problems go away somehow.
  • @hermione5525
    for the infinite life trick, if you speak to the guy on the roof from a different angle he'll throw you outside of the house with the shine, so you wont't have to get out! Even easier :D
  • @CapnSudz
    Fun fact: The walk out of bounds glitch in the plaza at the fruit stand pole is very consistent. Simply walk straight into the wall, then change your angle until Mario doesn't hug the wall and just walks across it, then with this angle, hit the wonky piece of collision, and congrats, you are out of bounds. This works with any nozzle, Yoshi, and anything in Mario's hands. No backwards turnaround, no fancy fence gate, just roughly a good angle and full walking speed.
  • In the Japanese version, getting 100 coins in the Secret Tall Grass Room causes the game to crash. This is because they hadn't set a position for the Shine to fly to in this area. In all other versions, there is a position set, allowing you to get the Shine. I think when you're on Yoshi, you can aim yourself when getting thrown, allowing you to miss the window entirely, removing the risk of hitting the Shine in that room when trying to exit. And finally, fun fact: the hard version of the Il Piantissimo race in Pianta Village has the AI actually utilize the roof sprint technique when climbing the tree.

    I'm actually about to finally get every shine in this game. Perfect timing. Oo I actually just remembered something from when I was playing this morning! In Noki Bay, I kept on swimming near the barrier of the level. I could tell the game was pushing me back, but I had to find the blue coins so I jumped and ran on the shore for small segments to go forward. I actually ended up seeing the out-of-bounds area of the level, it was neat. Great video, I'm surprised there was stuff I didn't know about yet on here.

    Rest in Peace Snuggles. You will always be in our adorable flying flap flap hearts. May you reunite with the Mushroom, a very particular mushroom! Also, I love you content, hillarious, informative, and downright awesome. You get a like from me. ALSO WHOEVER DISLIKED, YOU ARE HEARTLESS TO POOR SNUGGLES.
  • @thewritegrump
    Just finished your Pianta Village video after stumbling across is by chance. I LOVE these videos uncovering the secrets of Super Mario Sunshine. This game was my childhood and I'm definitely sending these both to my friend who I used to play SMS with when we were younger. Some of this content is gonna blow their mind, that's for sure.
  • @unficablus
    It's been over 17 years since the release of this game, and I NEVER knew about that secret ledge in the slide level. That's amazing..!
  • @MayroSMM
    That was very interesting, especially since I'm not very familiar with Sunshine. :)

  • @MWSylveon
    Nice video! So many tricks I didnt know in Delfino Plaza! Also something to point out at 2:47 when you grab the 1-up Mario looses a life instead of getting an extra one, thats weird.
  • @n1n10doboy
    At 2:49 the 1UP didn’t give you another life.. IT TOOK ONE that’s a disgraced 1UP folks
