Shadow Mario then makes a run for it, with Mario giving chase. Who makes an attempt to kidnap Peach, but Mario makes short work of him. But we know that Mario couldn't have done this, so who did? Well, on the first day of the sentence we are introduced to the true culprit: Shadow Mario. So Mario is now sentenced to clean the entire island. But celebrations are cut short when Mario is arrested and put on trial, being accused of being the main culprit behind the recent pollution that the island has been suffering as a result of the goop, which has caused the island's main source of energy, the Shine Sprites to disappear. So after talking with some surprisingly hostile locals, Mario finds a water pump called F.L.U.U.D, who Mario uses to quickly clear out the goop.
After arriving on the island, Mario and the gang are greeted by a piece of mysterious goop. Similar to Super Mario World, Mario, Princess Peach, and the new character Toadsworth decide to take a vacation on the tourist paradise that is Isle Delfino. Super Mario Sunshine's plot is something else. Unlike Super Mario 64, which featured a standard Mario plot.
