“This is one of my nozzles, the... Oh, you cannot use it yet. It is only a hologram.”
—FLUDD, Super Mario Sunshine

Nozzle boxes[1] (also called FLUDD Pack Boxes)[2]:26 are types of ? Blocks[3] found in Super Mario Sunshine. They have Professor E. Gadd's emblem on them, and they contain FLUDD's different nozzles. There are three colors, similarly to the Cap Blocks from Super Mario 64, which they are roughly equivalent to. The boxes consist of the Hover Nozzle boxes[1][4]:16 (also called Blue Nozzle Boxes[2]:25 or Blue Boxes[5]), Rocket Nozzle boxes[4]:16 (also called Red Nozzle Boxes,[6][2]:25 Red Hidden Boxes,[7] or Red Boxes[5]), and Turbo Nozzle boxes[4]:16 (also called White Nozzle Boxes,[6] Turbo Nozzle Power-up boxes,[4]:35 Black Nozzle Boxes,[2]:25 Black Hidden Boxes,[7] or Gray Boxes[5]). FLUDD begins each course while automatically equipped with the Hover Nozzle. All three types can be found in Delfino Plaza, whereas most other courses feature at least two types, except Pinna Park and Sirena Beach, which do not have any. Mario can open a nozzle box and equip the nozzle simply by jumping on the box. FLUDD can have only two nozzles equipped at a time, but one of them must be the standard Squirt Nozzle. This means that if Mario wants to change nozzles, the Hover Nozzle is replaced. Within a course, Blue Boxes are accessible from the start, but most of the Red Boxes and Gray Boxes appear as holograms at first. Mario must find and open the one Red or Gray Box in the course that is solid, usually located in a hard-to-reach place, to make all the other nozzle boxes of the same color solid. Whenever Mario switches nozzles via a nozzle box, his water supply is automatically refilled. The game has a total of 10 Hover Nozzle boxes, 12 Rocket Nozzle boxes, and 11 Turbo Nozzle boxes.

Notes[edit]

  • Although Mario can break open nozzle boxes while riding on a Yoshi's back, he cannot physically collect whatever nozzle attachment comes out of the nozzle box until he dismounts the Yoshi.
  • If Mario gets on and off a Yoshi, FLUDD refills and its second nozzle switches to the Hover Nozzle.
