'''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.

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 brush]], 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 brush, 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 brush to Shadow Mario due to thinking that he was Mario. | ||

Princess Peach is the only one to notice this, as Mario and Toadsworth are more preoccupied with their thoughts about the island. | ||
