'''Shadow Mario''' (also known as '''?''' in the ''Super Mario Sunshine'' instruction manual) is a {{wp|doppelgänger}} of [[Mario]] and serves as the main antagonist of ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. He is almost identical to Mario, with the primary difference being that his body is a translucent blue, appearing to have a liquid consistency. Other traits that are unique to Shadow Mario include glowing red eyes when he is angry and a long, red tongue that he occasionally sticks out at Mario while taunting him. Shadow Mario wields the [[Magic Paintbrush]], an invention designed by [[Professor E. Gadd]]. With the brush, Shadow Mario can magically create large quantities of [[goop]], which occasionally spawns lesser [[List of enemies|enemies]]. He used this power to vandalize all of [[Isle Delfino]] with varying amounts of [[goop|graffiti]], thereby making Mario the main suspect in the trial held thereafter. Later in the game, it is revealed that Shadow Mario is actually [[Bowser Jr.]], [[Bowser]]'s son, masquerading as a Mario look-alike in order to steal [[Princess Peach]] and ruin Mario's reputation. It is unknown how Shadow Mario originally acquired the Magic Paintbrush, though it is suggested that Professor E. Gadd gave it to him.<ref>Bowser Jr.'s quote from in-game, "''This...is my magic brush. When I draw with this, all my wishes come true! A strange old man in a white coat gave it to me...''"</ref> This is also supported in the [[Prima Games]] Guide for ''Super Mario Sunshine'', which claims that E. Gadd gave the Magic Paintbrush to Shadow Mario due to thinking that he was Mario.

[[File:Welcome video shadow mario.png|thumb|right|Shadow Mario appears in the [[Isle Delfino]] welcome video.]]
[[File:SMS Welcome Video Shadow Mario.png|thumb|left|Shadow Mario appearing in the [[Isle Delfino]] welcome video]]
At the beginning of ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', Mario, [[Princess Peach]] and [[Toadsworth]] are seen traveling to the island resort of [[Isle Delfino]] via [[Toad Express|Peach's private airplane]] to get some much-needed rest and relaxation. The first time Shadow Mario is seen is in the background of the welcome video that plays on a television in Peach's airplane as they approach the island. He is seen as nothing more than a black silhouette holding the Magic Paintbrush and jumping around the landscape behind several [[Pianta]]s, who appear to be unaware of his presence. Peach is the only one on the plane who seems to notice him, though, as Mario and Toadsworth appear to be more preoccupied with the seafood and the relaxing atmosphere. Though she tries to inform them of what she has seen, she eventually gives up and the plane flies on. Eventually, they come to a screeching halt on the runway of the [[Delfino Airstrip]].
In the opening introduction of ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', Mario, [[Princess Peach]] and [[Toadsworth]] are seen traveling to the island resort of [[Isle Delfino]] via [[Toad Express|Peach's private airplane]]. During the welcome video, a silhouette resembling Mario appears in the background, first running to behind the [[Grand Pianta Statue]] followed by jumping out from behind it, now holding the Magic Paintbrush. Princess Peach is the only one to notice this, as Mario and Toadsworth are more preoccupied with their thoughts about the island.


[[File:Shadowmarioposter.jpg|thumb|left|An eyewitness depiction of the vandal on a wanted poster, presented during the trial.]]
[[File:Shadowmarioposter.png|thumb|left|An eyewitness depiction of the vandal on a wanted poster, presented during the trial]]
When they exit the plane, they discover that the plane narrowly missed running directly into a large quantity of Goop, inside of which resides a [[Polluted Piranha Plant]]. At this point, Peach looks up and sees Shadow Mario for the second time, though this time he is simply standing on top of a small water tank watching the new arrivals. When she tries again to alert Mario and Toadsworth of his presence, they look up, only to find that he has disappeared. Toadsworth attributes this to the heat, saying that it is beginning to affect Peach's reasoning and immediately requests that Mario travel to the mainland and find some assistance. After Mario has retrieved [[F.L.U.D.D.]], defeated the Polluted Piranha Plant, and collected the first [[Shine Sprite]], two [[Isle Delfino Police|Isle Delfino policemen]] arrive and escort Mario to a courthouse, where he is put on trial for the crime that Shadow Mario has committed: covering the entire island in toxic Graffiti. During the trial, Mario is found guilty of vandalizing the island, despite the fact that the true criminal was Shadow Mario. Worse yet, Mario is then thrown in jail by the Isle Delfino Police and subsequently ordered to clean the entire island of his "vile handiwork". Until he does so, he is forbidden to leave the island.
Once the plane comes to a screeching stop and everyone gets off to look at the [[goop]] on the airway, Peach notices the Shadow Mario figure once again. She tries to get Mario and Toadsworth's attention, but Shadow Mario has already disappeared. Once Mario takes care of the goop with his newly obtained [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]], he is thrown in jail and put on trial, being accused of Shadow Mario's crimes of vandalizing the island. A Pianta judge orders Mario not to leave the island until he cleans up all the goop. Once Mario cleans up [[Bianco Square]], the Grand Pianta Statue appears with Shadow Mario on top of it. He jumps from the statue, grabs Princess Peach, and runs off with her. Upon being sprayed enough times, Shadow Mario drops the princess, and then heads back to Bianco Square, opening up the way to [[Bianco Hills]].


[[File:Shadowmarioenterance.jpg|thumb|right|Shadow Mario's grand entrance.]]
[[File:Shadow Mario Entrance.png|thumb|Shadow Mario's next appearance]]
Shortly after the trial, Shadow Mario appears again, this time standing atop the [[Grand Pianta Statue]] in [[Bianco Square]]. In his first major act of the game, he jumps from on top of the statue and grabs Princess Peach, throwing her over his shoulder and running away with her. Mario immediately chases after him, spraying him with water from F.L.U.D.D. Eventually, he drops the princess and escapes, appearing back at the foot of the Grand Pianta Statue. When Mario tracks him down, he paints a multicolored "[[Graffiti#Wall_Graffiti|M]]" on the bottom of the statue and disappears inside. Following him by jumping inside the [[Graffiti#Color Portal|Color Portal]], Mario finds himself at the beginning of the first level in [[Bianco Hills]], [[Bianco Hills#Episode 1: The Road to the Big Windmill|The Road to the Big Windmill]]. Shadow Mario is seen standing next to another Polluted Piranha Plant spitting out [[Piranhabon]]s in the level overview, but he will be gone by the time Mario finally makes it to that point in the level.
Shadow Mario's next major role in the game is when he kidnaps Princess Peach again, taking her to [[Pinna Park]]. Once Mario catches up with him, Shadow Mario summons [[Mecha-Bowser]], the boss of the current mission. Upon being defeated, he reveals his true identity as Bowser Jr., then takes off in a balloon to [[Corona Mountain]] with Princess Peach.


[[File:SMSunshine RainbowGoop.png|200px|thumb|left|Shadow Mario painting a [[Graffiti#Color Portal|Color Portal]] on the front base of the [[Grand Pianta Statue]].]]
Shadow Mario appears in every seventh episode of every area and Mario must defeat him in order to collect the [[Shine Sprite]] he carries. Once all seven Shadow Mario episodes are completed, the entrance to Corona Mountain is opened, as well as [[Delfino Plaza]] becoming flooded. Shadow Mario appears in several other episodes as well, though with a minor role. Also, whenever Mario enters a secret level area for the first time, Shadow Mario appears and takes FLUDD away. FLUDD returns to Mario once the Shine Sprite at the end is collected. Shadow Mario also takes FLUDD away during the third episode of [[Pianta Village]], [[The Goopy Inferno]] and can be recovered near the end of the episode mission. If Mario waits 10 seconds after defeating Shadow Mario without talking to him, Shadow Mario transforms into a blue orb and teleport further away from Mario before restarting the chase.
Shadow Mario's next appearance comes much later in the game, where he is seen on the west side of Delfino Plaza in a [[Bowser]]-shaped boat, having kidnapped Peach once again. When Mario attempts to confront him, he sticks out his tongue at him, climbs inside the boat and escapes to [[Pinna Park|Pinna Island]] with Peach. Mario follows him by jumping into a nearby cannon which leads to the amusement park. Once there, Mario enters the park and chases Shadow Mario to a small circular pool near the Roller Coaster. Shadow Mario jumps and hovers over the middle of the pool, as the ground begins to shake. The pool splits (referencing a noteworthy religious moment) to reveal a large [[Mecha-Bowser]] robot emerging. Shadow Mario's eyes glow red as the gigantic robot breathes fire. [[Noki Director|The director of Pinna Park]], believing that this is all an elaborate promotional stunt, allows Mario to use the Roller Coaster to fight back against Shadow Mario's enormous robot. Shadow Mario (now in the cockpit of Mecha-Bowser) attacks Mario by launching multiple [[Bullet Bill]]s at his small Roller Coaster car as it rides along the track. Mario must avoid these while simultaneously attempting to launch water rockets at the robot to disable it. Eventually, the robot becomes too damaged to continue its attack and becomes immobile as Mario exits the Roller Coaster.  


[[File:SMS Kidnapping.png|thumb|175px|Shadow Mario reveals his true form.]]
After [[The Wilted Sunflowers|episode 4 of Pinna Park]] is completed, Shadow Mario appears in Bianco Square carrying a [[Yoshi Egg]]. Defeating him unlocks [[Yoshi]] in several area episodes. Shadow Mario appears two more times afterward when enough Shine Sprites are collected. He carries a [[Turbo Nozzle]] the first time and a [[Rocket Nozzle]] the second time, and defeating him unlocks those nozzles for use in Delfino Plaza.
Shadow Mario then opens the cockpit of the robot and reveals his true identity: [[Bowser Jr.]] He goes on to explain that he had been told by his father, [[Bowser]], that Princess Peach was his mother and that she had been kidnapped by the "evil" Mario, who, according to Bowser, never fights fair. Thus, Bowser Jr. disguised himself as a Mario look-alike and polluted the entire island with Graffiti, a crime for which he framed Mario in the hopes that he would be sent to prison. To his dismay, they did not lock him up. He also reveals that he has been using a [[Magic Paintbrush]] to commit the crimes, which "makes all his wishes come true" when he draws with it. He claims that [[Professor Elvin Gadd|a strange old man in a white coat]] gave it to him. That said, Bowser Jr. tells Mario to stop following him and then activates a large hot air balloon incorporated into his robot cockpit. Mario watches as Bowser Jr. pilots the balloon to [[Corona Mountain]], taking Princess Peach with him.  


When [[Mario]] has successfully defeated Shadow Mario in Episode 7 in each of the seven worlds (see below for more information), the final major event of the game is triggered: the flood. When Mario returns from the previous world, [[Delfino Plaza]] is flooded with water previously held inside [[Corona Mountain]]. A short cutscene shows Shadow Mario leaping off the top of the [[Shine Gate]] and making his way to the small opening leading into Corona Mountain, where he waits for Mario. When Mario approaches him, he quickly runs into the opening and disappears. When Mario enters the opening, Shadow Mario is gone and the real Mario must now make his way to the top of Corona Mountain, where the final boss battle awaits. When Mario finally reaches the top, he finds [[Bowser]], [[Bowser Jr.]] and [[Princess Peach]] in a large, slime-filled hot tub. Bowser, enraged that Mario has ruined his family vacation, begins to attack Mario by breathing fire at him, while Bowser Jr. fires multiple [[Bullet Bill]]s at Mario. After Mario has [[Ground Pound]]ed five separate areas of the hot tub, it is turned completely upside down, releasing the final [[Shine Sprite]] and initiating the ending sequence.
As found within the game files, Shadow Mario shares the same animations as [[Mario]] and [[Il Piantissimo]], with some extra ones added to accommodate that the two (Piantissimo and Shadow Mario) are NPCs. He uses a cover version of the [[Underground Theme]] from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' during his appearances. A similar arrangement is used for [[Cosmic Mario]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and its [[Super Mario Galaxy 2|sequel]].


At the end of the game, [[Bowser Jr.]] and his father are seen floating on a small raft on the outskirts of [[Isle Delfino]], at which point [[Bowser]] finally attempts to tell him that [[Princess Peach]] is not his mother, though it is revealed that Bowser Jr. already knew. After telling his father that he wants to fight [[Mario]] again when he is bigger, Bowser agrees, but says that they should rest awhile. After the credits (if [[Mario]] did not collect 120 [[Shine Sprite]]s), it is revealed that Bowser Jr. lost his Magic Paintbrush, as [[Il Piantissimo]] is seen discovering the brush on the sands of [[Gelato Beach]], where it had somehow landed after the battle. It is unknown what Il Piantissimo does with the paintbrush or whether or not he even picks it up. 
Shadow Mario's role in the different levels and their episodes are as follows, and episodes that involve chasing down Shadow Mario are highlighted in '''bold''':
 
;Other appearances
[[File:FLUDD!.png|thumb|200px|right|Shadow Mario stealing F.L.U.D.D.]]
Aside from his periodic appearances throughout the game's main storyline, Shadow Mario also appears once in every world in the game to cause additional trouble for [[Mario]]. He appears only in Episode 7 of each world (with a few minor exceptions), where Mario must chase him through a certain part of the world, spraying him with [[F.L.U.D.D.]] until he drops to the ground. Each time Mario successfully catches Shadow Mario, he is forced to relinquish one [[Shine Sprite]], after which he quickly disappears. In addition to this, he also appears at least once in each world (aside from the situations listed above) when Mario enters a secret level or area. In these situations, Shadow Mario arrives before Mario enters the secret area and takes F.L.U.D.D. from him, leaving Mario to complete the level without F.L.U.D.D.'s assistance. He also appears in a few other levels in the game, which are usually directly related to the storyline of the game in some way.

Shadow Mario also makes a few other minor appearances in [[Delfino Plaza]], where he holds a specific item which Mario needs to progress in the game. He first appears holding a [[Yoshi Egg]], then a [[Turbo Nozzle]], and finally a [[Rocket Nozzle]]. Mario must chase Shadow Mario through the plaza and spray him as he normally would to defeat him, after which Mario is free to claim the item. When Shadow Mario falls to the ground, he complains that he was just about to use whatever he was holding before Mario interfered, and then disappears. The next time Mario returns to Delfino Plaza, the item he recovered is now placed in its permanent position as opposed to the location where Shadow Mario dropped it.

Shadow Mario makes an appearance as an unlockable character in ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]''. In the game, his maximum hit is 275 yards, and causes the ball to curve to the right when hit. He also has a low shot, meaning lie has a greater impact on the ball. His shot is like that of [[Luigi]]'s, with power almost able to match [[Mario]]'s. In order to unlock Shadow Mario, the player must complete all of the [[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour#Single-Player Game Modes|Ring Attack]] holes.

His shot is like that of [[Luigi]]'s, with power almost able to match [[Mario]]'s. He mostly uses edited voice clips of Mario from ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', with a lower pitch and slight damping filter. In the PAL version of the game, he speaks during his taunts instead of substituting said dialogue for full stops. In order to unlock Shadow Mario, the player must complete all of the [[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour#Single-Player Game Modes|Ring Attack]] holes. Bowser Jr. also appears as a separate playable character.

The first time that Shadow Mario appears in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] is as a collectible [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|sticker]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. His likeness also appears on a wanted poster in the [[Delfino Plaza (stage)|Delfino Plaza]] stage. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', another collectible item of Shadow Mario appears, specifically a neutral, primary [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros.

Shadow Mario appears as a collectible sticker in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. He also appears on a wanted poster in the Isle Delfino level.


====''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U''====
Shadow Mario's only physical role in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series is in Bowser Jr.'s [[Final Smash]], [[Shadow Mario Paint]], appearing in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', which sees him transform into Shadow Mario and use his [[Magic Paintbrush]] to paint a giant orange X of graffiti that covers the entire screen and damages any opponents that come into contact with it. As the Koopalings are Bowser Jr.'s alternate costumes, they are able to transform into Shadow Mario as well. In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', Shadow Mario is active for a shorter period of time.
Bowser Jr.'s [[Final Smash]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'' involves him turning into Shadow Mario and using his paintbrush to create a giant, orange X of goop that covers the entire screen. Players that make contact with the X take damage. Because Bowser Jr.'s alternate costumes use the [[Koopalings]], it means that they are able to transform into him as well.

Shadow Mario (also known as ? in the Super Mario Sunshine instruction manual) is a doppelgänger of Mario and serves as the main antagonist of Super Mario Sunshine. He is almost identical to Mario, with the primary difference being that his body is a translucent blue, appearing to have a liquid consistency. Other traits that are unique to Shadow Mario include glowing red eyes when he is angry and a long, red tongue that he occasionally sticks out at Mario while taunting him. Shadow Mario wields the Magic Paintbrush, an invention designed by Professor E. Gadd. With the brush, Shadow Mario can magically create large quantities of goop, which occasionally spawns lesser enemies. He used this power to vandalize all of Isle Delfino with varying amounts of graffiti, thereby making Mario the main suspect in the trial held thereafter. Later in the game, it is revealed that Shadow Mario is actually Bowser Jr., Bowser's son, masquerading as a Mario look-alike in order to steal Princess Peach and ruin Mario's reputation. It is unknown how Shadow Mario originally acquired the Magic Paintbrush, though it is suggested that Professor E. Gadd gave it to him.[1] This is also supported in the Prima Games Guide for Super Mario Sunshine, which claims that E. Gadd gave the Magic Paintbrush to Shadow Mario due to thinking that he was Mario.

History[edit]

Super Mario Sunshine[edit]

Shadow Mario appearing in the Isle Delfino welcome video

In the opening introduction of Super Mario Sunshine, Mario, Princess Peach and Toadsworth are seen traveling to the island resort of Isle Delfino via Peach's private airplane. During the welcome video, a silhouette resembling Mario appears in the background, first running to behind the Grand Pianta Statue followed by jumping out from behind it, now holding the Magic Paintbrush. Princess Peach is the only one to notice this, as Mario and Toadsworth are more preoccupied with their thoughts about the island.

An eyewitness depiction of the vandal on a wanted poster, presented during the trial

Once the plane comes to a screeching stop and everyone gets off to look at the goop on the airway, Peach notices the Shadow Mario figure once again. She tries to get Mario and Toadsworth's attention, but Shadow Mario has already disappeared. Once Mario takes care of the goop with his newly obtained FLUDD, he is thrown in jail and put on trial, being accused of Shadow Mario's crimes of vandalizing the island. A Pianta judge orders Mario not to leave the island until he cleans up all the goop. Once Mario cleans up Bianco Square, the Grand Pianta Statue appears with Shadow Mario on top of it. He jumps from the statue, grabs Princess Peach, and runs off with her. Upon being sprayed enough times, Shadow Mario drops the princess, and then heads back to Bianco Square, opening up the way to Bianco Hills.

Shadow Mario's next appearance

Shadow Mario's next major role in the game is when he kidnaps Princess Peach again, taking her to Pinna Park. Once Mario catches up with him, Shadow Mario summons Mecha-Bowser, the boss of the current mission. Upon being defeated, he reveals his true identity as Bowser Jr., then takes off in a balloon to Corona Mountain with Princess Peach.

Shadow Mario appears in every seventh episode of every area and Mario must defeat him in order to collect the Shine Sprite he carries. Once all seven Shadow Mario episodes are completed, the entrance to Corona Mountain is opened, as well as Delfino Plaza becoming flooded. Shadow Mario appears in several other episodes as well, though with a minor role. Also, whenever Mario enters a secret level area for the first time, Shadow Mario appears and takes FLUDD away. FLUDD returns to Mario once the Shine Sprite at the end is collected. Shadow Mario also takes FLUDD away during the third episode of Pianta Village, The Goopy Inferno and can be recovered near the end of the episode mission. If Mario waits 10 seconds after defeating Shadow Mario without talking to him, Shadow Mario transforms into a blue orb and teleport further away from Mario before restarting the chase.

After episode 4 of Pinna Park is completed, Shadow Mario appears in Bianco Square carrying a Yoshi Egg. Defeating him unlocks Yoshi in several area episodes. Shadow Mario appears two more times afterward when enough Shine Sprites are collected. He carries a Turbo Nozzle the first time and a Rocket Nozzle the second time, and defeating him unlocks those nozzles for use in Delfino Plaza.

As found within the game files, Shadow Mario shares the same animations as Mario and Il Piantissimo, with some extra ones added to accommodate that the two (Piantissimo and Shadow Mario) are NPCs. He uses a cover version of the Underground Theme from Super Mario Bros. during his appearances. A similar arrangement is used for Cosmic Mario in Super Mario Galaxy and its sequel.

Shadow Mario's role in the different levels and their episodes are as follows, and episodes that involve chasing down Shadow Mario are highlighted in bold:

Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour[edit]

Star Drive 275 yards
Trajectory Fade
Height Low
Impact 11
Star Impact 06
Control 07
Spin 07

Shadow Mario makes his first playable appearance in Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour as an unlockable character. In the game, his maximum hit is 275 yards, and causes the ball to curve to the right when hit. He also has a low shot, meaning lie has a greater impact on the ball. His shot is like that of Luigi's, with power almost able to match Mario's. He mostly uses edited voice clips of Mario from Super Mario 64, with a lower pitch and slight damping filter. In the PAL version of the game, he speaks during his taunts instead of substituting said dialogue for full stops. In order to unlock Shadow Mario, the player must complete all of the Ring Attack holes. Bowser Jr. also appears as a separate playable character.

Super Smash Bros. series[edit]

The first time that Shadow Mario appears in the Super Smash Bros. series is as a collectible sticker in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. His likeness also appears on a wanted poster in the Delfino Plaza stage. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, another collectible item of Shadow Mario appears, specifically a neutral, primary spirit, which can be summoned with a Vince, Eddy, and neutral-type core.

Shadow Mario's only physical role in the Super Smash Bros. series is in Bowser Jr.'s Final Smash, Shadow Mario Paint, appearing in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, which sees him transform into Shadow Mario and use his Magic Paintbrush to paint a giant orange X of graffiti that covers the entire screen and damages any opponents that come into contact with it. As the Koopalings are Bowser Jr.'s alternate costumes, they are able to transform into Shadow Mario as well. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Shadow Mario is active for a shorter period of time.

Other appearances[edit]

Shadow Mario's name is shown on one of the scoreboards in Mario Golf: Advance Tour.
