When Mario enters the level, Shadow Mario is at the top of the hill waiting. When Mario gets close, Shadow Mario runs off toward the town and continues to run around the town until Mario defeats him. Shadow Mario only stays in the town area, but he may jump on top of the buildings. Like with the encounter with Shadow Mario in Delfino Plaza, the player needs to spray Shadow Mario with water until he falls. The best way to do this is to lightly hold the so Mario can run while spraying water. Once Shadow Mario falls and the player talks to him, the Shine Sprite appears where he fell.
