Super Mario Sunshine 2 (EnderLegends)

this project was started by but adopted by .
Super Mario Sunshine 2 is a sequel to Super Mario Sunshine for the Nintendo GameCube, which was released in 2002. Released for the Nintendo Switch in 2018, the game follows Mario on an all-new sandbox adventure within the Shrouded Isles. It is also the first game in a planned trilogy of 3D Mario games.
==Story==
One day, Mario hears from Princess Peach about a gang of criminals within the Shrouded Isles, an island chain located deep within the Mushroom Kingdom's oceans. Known as the Paint Bandits, they somehow gained possession of the Magic Paintbrush once wielded by Bowser Jr., made seven duplicates of it, and are now wreaking havoc on the islands by spreading around their goop. Mario decides to head to the islands with the help of F.L.U.D.D., and finds himself searching for the Shrouded Gems, powerful artifacts that are capable of reversing the corruption on the islands, which are experiencing strange weather effects, terrain changes, and even the emergence of strange creatures.
As Mario explores the Shrouded Isles, he eventually finds out that the Koopalings are in fact the Paint Bandits, who have been acting on orders from Bowser to defile the islands. Bowser Jr. is leading them once again in his Shadow Mario disguise. Mario continues to battle them in their Goopforms, disguises they take on with Goop that grant them powerful abilities.
After Mario obtains 250 Shrouded Gems, Bowser's castle arrives in the Shrouded Isles, and it's revealed that he's also kidnapped Princess Peach. In the center of the island chain, a massive amount of Goop is being poured into the center of the ocean, forming a massive tropical storm. Mario can then head to Bowser's Castle from that point on, but 280 Shrouded Gems are needed to break open the door to the top of the castle, where Bowser is located.
===The Luigi Files===
As Mario explores the Shrouded Isles, Luigi is given a letter from Professor E. Gadd to visit the Shrouded Isles. Upon arriving at the Everglow Forest, Luigi is informed that King Boo has released countless ghosts across the Shrouded Isles, and Luigi must recapture them all. Using the Poltergust 6000, Luigi begins his journey across the Shrouded Isles for his own goals.
==Gameplay==
=== Goopform ===
===The Shrouded Isles===
The Shrouded Isles are the main setting of the game, where the Shrouded Gems must be obtained to stop the goop from consuming the isles. Every island can be travelled to on foot, without loading screens or teleporting. Swimming, of course, is required to go from island to island, but fast travel can be unlocked later on.
===Shrouded Gems===
The Shrouded Gems are the main collectable here, necessary to stop the Goop from consuming the Shrouded Isles. Each island has 50 Shrouded Gems to collect, plus an additional twenty gems can be obtained from the ocean in between islands for a total of 1020 Shrouded Gems. These gems are distributed around the world in a similar vein to Odyssey's Power Moons, with more gems capable of being obtained from story-centric moments like boss battles. There's even a special reward if you collect them all...
===F.L.U.D.D.'s Nozzles===
New nozzles for F.L.U.D.D. replace power-ups in this game. The Squirt, Hover, Rocket, and Turbo Nozzles return, in addition to the following nozzles:
Nozzle 	Description
Scald Nozzle 	Acts similarily to the Squirt Nozzle, but shoots boiling hot water that deals more damage to enemies and is unable to clean up Goop.
Scuba Nozzle 	When underwater, allows you to swim much faster when activated, but only for a few seconds. Outside of water, it's useless.
Charge Nozzle 	Allows you to charge up a large blast of water that takes out a large area at once. However, it's quite hard to aim and takes time to charge up.
Scope Nozzle 	Allows you to shoot short bursts of water from far away.
Water Balloon Nozzle	Allows you to shoot water balloons that will explode after a short duration. These water balloons will stun enemies instead of damaging them, however.
Spin Nozzle 	Allows you to perform a melee attack similar to Super Mario Galaxy's Star Spin.
Only four Nozzles can be equipped at once. Nozzles can be swapped out through Gaddstations, devices sent across the Shrouded Isles by Professor E. Gadd to assist in the management of F.L.U.D.D..
===Yoshi===
Yoshis return, with green, cyan, and yellow variants coming into play. Green Yoshis are capable of creating Juice that increases movement speed when run across, cyan Yoshis can freeze water with their juice, and yellow Yoshi juice can 
The Juice mechanic is also modified so that Yoshi doesn't disappear when it runs out, nor does it automatically go down over time. Instead, Yoshi will stop moving without Juice, and will need to be fed fruit. Alternatively, you can eat fruit while riding on Yoshi. Yoshi also no longer disappears when exposed to water.
===Day-Night System===
A unique day-night system comes into play in Sunshine 2. Certain Shrouded Gems can only be obtained at certain times of day, and some enemies behave differently at night than they do during the day.
===FLUDDnet===
FLUDDnet is a computer database that Mario can access which gives him access to maps of the Shrouded Isles, Shrouded Gem totals, and even a news network that can inform him of story events that are opened up as you collect more Shrouded Gems.
==The Luigi Files==
The Luigi Files are another gamemode in a similar vein to how Superstar Saga's remake also had Bowser's Minions. Essentially, Luigi goes through platforming levels similar to those seen in Super Mario 3D Land and 3D World, with the Poltergust 6000 at his side, thus also bringing in elements of Luigi's Mansion into the mix. Luigi must capture as many ghosts as he can whilst he makes his way to the end of the level, with each level being in a certain segment of the actual in-game world, but slightly adjusted to allow for linear platforming.
Luigi can also pick up the Elemental Medallions in later levels, which allow for him to expel fire, ice, or water to attack ghosts, and the Strobe Light is also necessary to light up darker levels.
