Surf Cabana: Difference between revisions

The '''Surf Cabana''', also referred to as the '''Watermelon Shack''',<ref>Loe, Casey. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Perfect Guide. Pages 53, 55, 60, 61.</ref> is a small seaside bar located on the west side of [[Gelato Beach]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. It is unique as it is built over the [[water]] parallel to the shoreline, with a small yellow zigzag dock leading the way up to it from the shore. Its main function appears to be making juice smoothies for the denizens of Gelato Beach. It features two tables with chairs and umbrellas behind the main hut, as well as a circular counter with fresh [[coconut]] smoothies and a large juicer, which is accessed via the roof and will damage [[Mario]] if he touches it. The juicer leads to a glass container inside the hut, which has a [[Shine Sprite]] trapped inside.

The Surf Cabana appears in every episode of Gelato Beach, but not much attention is really paid to it until the final episode, [[The Watermelon Festival]]. In this episode, Mario must carefully roll the largest [[watermelon]] found on the beach to the Surf Cabana while carefully avoiding [[Cataquack]]s, which fling any watermelons into the air on sight, destroying them instantly. When Mario finally gets the watermelon to the Surf Cabana, he must carefully roll it down the zigzag dock to the hut's entrance, where it is then juiced to make smoothies, and the trapped Shine Sprite is released for Mario to collect.

 

The juicer on the roof of the Surf Cabana also serves another purpose. At some point in the game, the player must bring any type of [[fruit]] (excluding watermelons) to the roof of the Surf Cabana and drop it into the juicer, which then releases a hidden [[Blue Coin|blue coin]].
