Super Mario Sunshine Deluxe/Gelato Beach

This article contains a list of all the Shine Sprites and Blue Coins that can be found on Gelato Beach in Super Mario Sunshine Deluxe, a St. Clair Publications-produced enhanced remake of Super Mario Sunshine.
The level in this game has changed little from the original. You still need 6 Shine Sprites to open it, and you have to have opened Ricco Harbor. When this happens, the lighthouse on the northeastern corner of Delfino Plaza will sink in black sludge. Spray the "source" of that sludge to do yet another battle with a Polluted Piranha Plant. Like with the one that sank the boathouse, you have to hit this one six times to defeat it, and this Piranha makes things harder by spawning about 16 Swoopin' Stus after its third hit.
When you're finished, a rainbow M tag will appear on the lighthouse. Spray that to be able to enter the level.

==Shine Sprites==
===Episode 1: The Dune Bud's Sandcastle Secret ===
Numerous plants called "Dune Buds" dot the island. You can spray them until they're full of water to have sand sculptures pop up, but these are unreliable and will probably startle you quite a bit due to how suddenly they appear. After three seconds, they retreat. In this episode only, there's a "special" Dune Bud that will sprout a "sandcastle" on the middle peninsula. Go through its "entrance" before it collapses to be taken to another secret level.
The secret level introduces you to Sand Blocks, which dominate the level. When you step on a Sand Block, it begins to crumble away as the sand falls. Make your to the "sandcastle" in the back of the level, then climb it to get the Shine Sprite.
===Episode 2: Mirror Madness: Tilt, Slam, Bam! ===
A giant Wiggler has decided to sleep on the temple in the back of the level. Also, multiple Plungeloes are assisting him by messing around with the mirrors so that he can't be forced awake by the sunlight trying to burn him. Why is this a problem? Because the temple has been incubating the egg of a creature called the "Sand Bird", allegedly for a little over a century, and if the mirrors aren't pointed the right way, it won't hatch on time and may even die in the egg.
That's where you come in. Get on one end of each mirror and spray the Plungeloes until they're teetering off the other side, then Ground Pound to send them flying. Any plumber can do the small mirror with just one Plungelo on it, but you can't be Luigi for the medium-sized mirror with two, and you MUST be Wario for the big mirror with three.
===Episode 3: Wiggler Ahoy! Full Steam Ahead!===
The Wiggler from last episode is now on a rampage. Spray the Dune Buds to flip him over, then Ground Pound the segment indicated by the arrow. Do this three times to kill him. Notable for being the only Shine Sprite to have the boss music playing during the intro preview.
===Episode 4: The Sand Bird is Born!===
Finally, the Sand Bird has hatched! Go into the temple, where its former incubator was, to be treated to a "sky secret" level involving it that's much like the ones in Delfino Plaza. Collect the seven Red Coins that are on it, then ride it all the way to the top of the temple to get the eighth. Be careful, as the bird will tilt sideways occasionally. It will warn you of this by flapping its wings more rapidly than usual; get on its head when that happens.
===Episode 5: Il Piantissimo's Sand Sprint ===
Introducing Il Piantissimo, the Pianta version of a weeaboo! He challenges you to a race, from the beach to the top of the hill in the back behind the Sand Bird's temple. The problem, though, is that in this version of the game, he's MUCH faster than he was in the original. This is why you must be Luigi in order to race him: because without the Turbo Nozzle, you don't stand a chance.
His new best time is 25 seconds, and if you attempt to replay this Shine, he'll make things even harder by matching your best time. On the flipside, however, this game now allows you to upload your best times for all Il Piantissimo races, as well as the timed Red Coin challenges and the Blooper surfing game, to an online leaderboard much like in Super Mario Odyssey!
===Episode 6: The Red Coins in the Coral Reef===
Pretty much what it says on the tin: go behind the Sand Cabana and explore the reef for Red Coins. Two of the Coins travel with schools of fish; swimming into them will make them scatter, possibly causing the Coins to disappear into sand or the reef.
===Episode 7: It's Shadow Mario! After Him!===
Beat down Shadow Mario. Couldn't be easier.
===Episode 8: The Watermelon Festival===
One of the more infamous Shines. In this one, the Surf Cabana is holding a "biggest watermelon" contest, and a Shine Sprite goes to the winner. There are two watermelons just randomly laying about on the beach that you can use as your contest entry, but the Pianta in charge of the cabana rejects both of them! Turns out the biggest watermelon is at the back of the level, behind the Sand Bird's temple. The problem, though, is that rolling this one to the Cabana Pianta is easier said than done, as it has a tendency to go out of control when rolled down a hill, and if it even hits so much as a thin pole, it pops!
Even worse, for some odd reason, there are about three times more red Cataquacks in this level than usual, and if any of them find the melon, they'll flip it up into the air, and it'll pop on the way back down! Since they're mostly on grass in the back of the level, you can't just spray them to stun them, either: they'll get back up within a second! Once you finally get this watermelon to the Cabana, the Pianta in charge will declare you the winner, shred it in his little shredder that sits completely unprotected on the roof (OSHA doesn't exist here, apparently), and give you the Shine.
===Secret Shine 1===
Spray a Dune Bud behind the Sand Bird's temple to reveal a staircase going down. Quickly spray the "wall" of this staircase to reveal a picture of a Shine Sprite, which will lead you to a real one.
===Secret Shine 2===
Go back to Episode 1's secret level and get all eight Red Coins within 60 seconds.
===100-Coin Shine suggestion===
The most Coins can be found in Episode 8, due to the increased number of Cataquacks. You can also Ground Pound the pushable melons up to 10 times each for some Coins.
