Race Il Piantissimo to the flag in Gelato Beach! Learn the best shortcut using wall jumps and hover to beat his 35-second time limit in Super Mario Sunshine.
Walkthrough
- 1You'll start on the beach and need to make your way towards the central tower. The goal is to reach the flag at the very top of the cliff path overlooking the beach.
- 2The main challenge is getting up to the cliff path quickly. Unlike previous levels, the Dune Bud that usually creates stairs isn't available here.
- 3Instead of heading straight for the alcove where you might expect stairs, turn your attention to the central tower. Perform a wall jump off the side of the tower.
- 4After the wall jump, aim to land on the mirror structure located to the right of the tower.
- 5From the mirror, run and then jump. Use Mario's hover ability to glide across the gap to the cliff path. This maneuver is crucial for saving time.
- 6Once on the cliff path, continue running towards the flag at the top. This shortcut will significantly cut down your time, allowing you to easily beat Il Piantissimo's 35-second target.
Tips
- The key to winning this race is mastering the wall jump and hover technique to bypass the usual climb.
- Don't waste time trying to find the Dune Bud; focus on executing the shortcut described above.
- Practice the wall jump and hover sequence if you don't get it on the first try, as it's the most efficient way to gain an advantage.
