Rainbow M

A Rainbow M, or "M" Teleport, is a multicolored M Graffiti which appears in Super Mario Sunshine.
==Description==
Rainbow M's are used to teleport Mario or Shadow Mario to a specific part of Isle Delfino. They are a subset of the Level Gate. To activate a Rainbow M, Mario has to squirt water on it using FLUDD, after which it becomes a portal to its corresponding location.
Mario can use a Rainbow M by jumping into it. In doing so, he is fragmented into multiple particles before entering, after which he is reassembled at the start of the level. This feature is similarly implemented into a few later Mario titles, particularly Mario Party 8, whenever a playable character uses Candy, or Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, when Luigi is transported through the Pixelator. 
==In Super Mario Sunshine==
There are three Rainbow M's, all of which are found only in Delfino Plaza. The first was painted by Shadow Mario to escape Mario after he foiled the former's first attempt to kidnap Princess Peach in Delfino Plaza. This one was painted on the base of the Grand Pianta Statue, and it leads to Bianco Hills. Another Rainbow M can be found on the side of the boathouse, leading to Ricco Harbor, and another on the front of the lighthouse, leading to Gelato Beach. These Rainbow Ms appear only after each Polluted Piranha Plant covering the buildings have been defeated, respectively.
The goop that comprises the Rainbow Ms is also found inside two red Warp Pipes: one on top of a building located behind the Grand Pianta Statue, where it starts out being plugged off by a large pineapple, and another on top of Shine Gate. These Warp Pipes provide access to Sirena Beach and Pianta Village, respectively.
