In ''Super Mario Sunshine'', Gatekeepers appear out of [[ | In ''Super Mario Sunshine'', Gatekeepers appear out of [[Goop#Goop|Generator]]s in several areas towards the beginning of the game. To get the Gatekeeper to come out of its base, [[Mario]] has to spray it with [[F.L.U.D.D.]] until it comes out. In order to defeat one, Mario must use F.L.U.D.D. to shoot water into its open mouth repeatedly. If Mario sprays one while its mouth is closed, it merely shrugs the attack off. Once defeated, Gatekeepers dissolve into goop, after which their base disappears; Mario cannot wash away a goop base like he can with normal goop. Aside from periodically spawning [[Swoopin' Stu]]s, a Gatekeeper does nothing to attack, and will actually retreat back into its base if Mario does not defeat it in time. There are [[Goop#Types of goop|three different types]] of Gatekeepers in the game: | ||
*Pink, yellow, orange, and white Gatekeepers are the most basic variant, needing to be sprayed three times to be defeated. Only one appears at the [[Delfino Airstrip]] at the beginning of the game. | *Pink, yellow, orange, and white Gatekeepers are the most basic variant, needing to be sprayed three times to be defeated.

*The brown and white variants are found in [[Delfino Plaza]]'s [[Bianco Square|square]] and during the first episode of [[Bianco Hills]], [[Road to the Big Windmill]]. Like the above variant, it requires three sprays to be defeated. The one in Bianco Square will send out Swoopin' Stus if left alone, and the one in Bianco Hills sends out [[Piranhabon]]s rolling down the hill. | *The brown and white variants are found in [[Delfino Plaza]]'s [[Bianco Square|square]] and during the first episode of [[Bianco Hills]], [[Road to the Big Windmill]].
