Birds[1] are a type of brightly colored parrot-like tropical bird that lives on Isle Delfino in Super Mario Sunshine. They have a colored body which can be green, blue, yellow or red. They also have white tips on their wings, tail, legs and chests, as well as white markings on their eyes and a distinct dark red and orange crest. Birds can be found perched in high places such as rooftops, cliffs and ropes. While perching, they occasionally hop around. If they fall off the place they are perched at, or if Mario approaches them, the birds fly away. Afterwards, they circle the area they were found at originally, and will return to their perching spot if Mario is sufficiently far away. Each colored bird gives out a special reward to Mario if he sprays it with FLUDD. Additionally, a Yoshi can eat one or spray one with juice to get its reward.
Variants[edit]
All names are taken from the official Prima guide for Super Mario Sunshine.[1]
| Color | Description |
|---|---|
Green Birds |
Green Birds are the most common type of bird. They appear in large flocks in almost every open area of Isle Delfino. If Mario sprays them with FLUDD or juice, they drop a coin. |
 Blue Birds |
Blue Birds are the second-most common type of bird. Only one or two Blue Birds are found in certain levels, and they can sometimes be found alongside Green Birds. One Blue Bird can be found in Bianco Hills and Pianta Village, while two can be found in Delfino Plaza, Gelato Beach and Pinna Park. If Mario sprays a Blue Bird with FLUDD or juice, they drop a blue coin. |
 Gold Birds |
Gold Birds are the second rarest type of bird, with only two appearing in the game: one in Delfino Plaza, and another in Noki Bay, in the secret mission "A Golden Bird". If Mario sprays them with FLUDD or juice, they turn into a Shine Sprite.
Three other Gold Birds are shown flying around the Shine Gate during the game's ending. |
 Red Bird |
Only a single Red Bird can be found in the game, appearing in the secret level "Red Coin Field" accessed from Delfino Plaza. A Pianta found in the same secret level claims to have been searching for it for 38 years, calling it the "red bird of happiness". If Mario sprays it with FLUDD, it drops a red coin. |
