Sunglasses - To get the sunglasses, talk to the man
wearing glasses on the beach in Dolphic Plaza. The
sunglasses tint your screen as if you were actually
wearing them. He is also found in many other levels. He
will not give them to you if you have less that 20 Shine
Sprites. Talk to him again to take them off.
Easy lives - Whenever you complete a level, go to the
water directly next to where the boats go in and out.

Mushroom. Whenever you return from a level or start from
the beginning, it will be there.

man is stranded. You will see a gold bird flying around.
Shoot it with your water cannon and a Shine Sprite will
appear.
Return to the Airport - Once you've beaten the game (and
saved your game), you will be able to go back to the
Airport from the very beginning. It'll cost you, though.

tower where you find Yoshi will take you to the Airport
level, which is filled with coins and fun stuff to do.
Finding coins - Find a patch of flowers and spray them
all quickly. Four or five Coins will appear from the

Easy cleaning - Instead of taking a bath each time Mario

into the air. Use a Hover Nozzle to get on the building.
Note: Some items, such as Shine Sprites and Blue Coins,
can be found on roofs.

screen appropriately. The same guy will also give you a
