Sirena Beach

Sirena Beach is a part of Isle Delfino, a beach which is the target of electric Goop in Super Mario Sunshine, and the home of Hotel Delfino, a unique four-star hotel. It appears to be locked in a state of perpetual sunset. It includes a snack bar, 2 pools (one in the form of a sauna), and a Casino. The hotel is, in quite a few episodes of the level, being attacked by Boos. The hotel owner allows Mario to enter to hotel at no cost in return for exterminating the Boos and defeating Phantamanta.

Sirena Beach is also the level in which the Phantamanta boss is fought. Mario also fights King Boo here in the Casino. Peach, Toadsworth, and the Toads were probably meant to stay here, but because of the crisis, their stay was cancelled.

Once Mario enters the Casino he can't go back into the main lobby. And he also can't get back outside once he goes in the hotel. The pipe that leads to Sirena Beach is covered by a pineapple that only Yoshi can eat. The pipe is red.

Episode 1: The Manta Storm

 * The first Episode of Sirena Beach begins with a shot of its characteristic sunset above the sea. It then cuts to the landside and pans over the area to show that a significant part of the landscape is covered in turquoise-colored electric goop. The thick substance has covered some Noki visitors and even the hotel building is obscured by a large puddle of slime shaped like a giant manta. Several Piantas can be seen around the spot where the building went missing, some are employees trying to clean the place while others are infuriated hotel guests. Upon approaching the hotel manager Mario learns that a giant shadow-like creature called Phantamanta appeared at noon, produced all the hazardous goop and made the hotel vanish. Their conversation is cut short by another appearance of said monster and a boss battle begins.


 * The orange silhouette slowly approaches the scenery from the beach while leaving a thick trail of electric goop behind. Spraying it with water from FLUDD will cause it to emit electric sparks and three direct hits with water will make it split into two. The halves will then act sepparately and split again after enough hits. Phantamanta must be split four times until its parts can be defeated permanently. The parts creach all over the place and the only safe places are spots with roofs. After the player splitted Phantamanta into enough parts, the orange silhouettes will turn red and ditch their random movement pattern to chase Mario. After Mario defeated every single part of the enemy the hotel will rise from the ground again and a Shine Sprite will appear above the pillar in the center of the level.

Episode 2: The Hotel Lobby's Secret

 * The second Episode sets in with a shot from above the big hotel and then slowly pans down to show its front side. The masses of turquoise slime from the previous Episode have disappeared but the hotel is still closed due to a ghost-infestation, much to the dismay of the guests. The hotel manager asks Mario to enter the hotel to get rid of the plague. The cause of the trouble appears to be a golden boo statue that appeared at the top floor. Due to the emergency situation however, the staircases leading to said floor have been sealed off and the players have to find an alternative route. By spraying the Pink Boos surrounding the large pillar in the middle of the building with water Mario can build a path to the monument.


 * After jumping into the statue's mouth Mario will be transported into a secret level. Shadow Mario will then appear and steal FLUDD, so Mario has only his jumping abilities to get through the obstacle course. The area is filled with Strollin' Stues, Soarin' Stues, Sand Blocks and Brick Blocks. Some of the Brick Blocks in this area contain 1-Up Mushrooms that will give Mario an Extra Life. At the end of the course, he will find a Shine Sprite. After having completed the second Episode of Sirena Beach, the players can replay the level and bring FLUDD with them to participate in a Red Coin challenge.

Episode 3: Mysterious Hotel Delfino

 * The third Episode opens with another pan shot from above the hotel. After Mario got rid of most of the ghosts the hotel has reopened and the guests are able to get into the building again. The Doot Doot Sisters also appear from this Episode on, performing at the beach. At the front door of Hotel Delfino the hotel manager invites Mario into the building again. Inside the hotel, the players can see the Shine Sprite of this Episode sparkling in the pool room at the top floor through a wall of glass. The object is out of their reach however, since a Pianta denies Mario access to the room because of his lack of swim wear. Mario has to find a way to break into the room from the attic. However, the attic is filled with sleeping Boos which cannot be defeated by normal means. Mario has to go back to the reception near the entrance to find a Yoshi Egg which demands a pineapple. Unfortunately, the fruit seller on the other side of the room is currently out of pineapples, so Mario has to search the hotel for the fruit. He can find some by travelling through the hotel guests' rooms which are linked by translucent paintings, closets and loose floor tiles. With Yoshi's assistance the ghosts in the attic become defeatable and Mario can enter the pool room from above, adding another Shine Sprite to his collection.

Episode 4: The Secret of Casino Delfino

 * Another pan shot of Hotel Delfino serves as the introduction scene for this Episode. The hotel is still open for business and upon approaching the building the hotel manager invites Mario to the casino that has recently reopened. The casino can be found next to the restrooms on the ground floor. It is composed of a big hall filled with slot machines, fountains, a red curtain and a giant roulette. Using FLUDD Mario has to get a row of three lucky sevens on both of the giant slot machines. By successfully doing so the big red curtain will rise and reveal a wall made of sixteen red and yellow panels that flip once they get in contact with water. When all panels are flipped so they show their coloured backside, they will form an image of a Shine Sprite and reveal a Warp Pipe leading to a secret area.


 * On the other side of the pipe Shadow Mario awaits and steals FLUDD from Mario. By using his various jumping techniques, Mario has to traverse the obstacle course located in a strange realm filled with seagulls. The obstacle course features glass cubes that attempt to push Mario from platforms, wodden contraptions that move in different ways, and a giant rotating cube that floats above a Bottomless Pit. At the end a Shine Sprite awaits. After having completed this Episode, the players can return to this level with Fludd to try winning in a Red Coin challenge.

Episode 5: King Boo Down Below
 * The casino has closed down. Mario has to defeat King Boo by the use of Chili Peppers, water, and fruit.

Episode 6: Scrubbing Sirena Beach
 * The goop has returned, so the owner of the hotel will ask Mario to clean most of the beach in under three minutes.

Episode 7: Shadow Mario Checks In
 * Another Shadow Mario appearance. This time,Shadow Mario will run into the hotel.Also some of the Boos will copy the looks of Shadow Mario to try to confuse Mario so he loses Shadow Mario.

Episode 8: Red Coins in the Hotel
 * Mario needs to track down eight Red Coins in various places in the hotel. Mario has five minutes to do this task or he will lose the challenge

Music
The music of Sirena Beach is mostly inspired by Hawaiian music (albeit adjusted to be slightly unsettling). While an upright bass provides a bassline, a steel guitar slides repetitively. Synthesizer and maracas play constantly in the background, while electronic organ and acoustic guitar also contribute to the disturbing melody.
