How to Restore Your Health in Super Mario Sunshine

In Super Mario Sunshine, our hero finds himself on vacation, yet still in peril, as always. For the player, this game is way too much fun to let Mario meet his untimely demise during a level, and it's easier than most people think to keep him healthy all the way through.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• GameCube
• One controller
• Television
• Super Mario Sunshine Game

1. Any time you see Mario getting low on health, this is the time to seek out coins. Yellow coins will give you one more point on the health meter, red and blue will give you two.

2. If there's water nearby, it sometimes helps to go for a swim. Go underwater so your water health meter dips a little and then come back to the surface. Your health meter will sometimes recharge at this point.

3. Defeat some enemies with water or by jumping on them. This will give you coins. Sometimes you don't need to rely on your enemies, because nonpartisan characters will help. For example, if you spray birds with water, they will give you coins. (Hint: the blue birds will give you blue coins!) Characters in aisle Delfino will also give you blue coins for doing tasks for them.

Tips & Warnings

• Keep an eye on the health meter and take care of it before it becomes a problem.
