Super Mario Sunshine: Roll the Giant Watermelon

AntMag.NET

Alright, welcome to Episode 8 of Gelato Beach in Super Mario Sunshine, called "The Watermelon Festival"! This one's a bit of a unique challenge where you'll need to find and deliver a massive watermelon. Let's get this done!

Walkthrough

1
Find the Biggest Watermelon: First things first, you need to locate the giant watermelon. Head up the hill that overlooks the tower and the beach. You can get there by spraying the Dune Bud near the tower to spawn stairs, or you can try a tricky wall jump up to the cliffside path. The biggest melon is waiting for you at the very top of this hill.
2
Roll it Down: Now for the tricky part – you have to roll this enormous watermelon all the way back down to the beach hut. Be super careful of the Cataquacks scattered around the beach; if they hit your watermelon, it'll burst, and you'll have to go all the way back up the hill to start over with a new one! Try to steer through areas with fewer Cataquacks to minimize the risk.
3
Cross the Pier: Once you reach the pier leading to the hut, you'll need to carefully roll the watermelon across it. This boardwalk zig-zags, and the watermelon is huge, so precision is key. If the watermelon falls into the water, it'll burst, meaning another trip back up the hill. Take it slow and steady, pushing it just a little at a time.
4
Claim Your Prize: Successfully get the giant watermelon all the way to the hut on the pier, and the Piantas will reward you with a much-deserved Shine Sprite!
