'''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.

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.

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. Despite his weakness to F.L.U.D.D's water attacks, Shadow Mario is still somehow able to swim in bodies of water unharmed. 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 [[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.

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]].
