Study Notes
Proto Piranhas in Super Mario Sunshine
- Proto Piranhas are large Piranha Plants made entirely of goop.
- They are recurring bosses in the early levels of Super Mario Sunshine.
- They are connected to solid, smoking goop masses called Generators.
- Some Generators spread goop to surrounding areas, preventing cleaning until the Proto Piranha is defeated.
- Proto Piranhas hide within Generators, emerging when sprayed with water.
- They sway and open/close their mouths.
- Mario defeats them by spraying water into their open mouths.
- If sprayed while their mouths are closed, they shrug off the attack.
- Proto Piranhas retreat back into Generators if not damaged enough.
- Structures are submerged in the goop beneath them.
- Five fights against Proto Piranhas occur in the game.
Proto Piranha Behaviors
- Color varies, matching the surrounding goop (pink, yellow, orange, white, brown).
- Number of sprays needed to defeat them varies.
- Additional behaviors exist (e.g., creating sinkholes, releasing goobles, or causing chases).
- Delfino Airstrip: pink, yellow, orange, and white; takes three sprays to defeat.
- Bianco Square: brown and white; also takes three.
- Bianco Hills: brown and white; takes three sprays and releases a Shine Sprite. Also has dangerous goop-creating goobles
- Delfino Plaza (Boathouse): black; takes three initial sprays and then requires two more.
- Delfino Plaza (Lighthouse): black; requires two sets of three sprays.
Proto Piranha Defeat Effects
- Defeating a Proto Piranha releases the player's Shine Sprites.
- Some Proto Piranha defeats cause other events (e.g., reveal hidden structures or start chases).
- When defeated, the Proto Piranha disappears, and the structures underneath the goop emerge.
- The final lighthouse reveals a Rainbow M leading to Gelato Beach.
