It is a paint-like substance painted on various surfaces by [[Bowser Jr.]] using his [[Magic Paintbrush]].

In ''Super Mario Sunshine'', graffiti is usually painted on walls, though it also appears on other flat surfaces. [[Mario]] can clean it off surfaces by spraying it with [[water]] using [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]], and he must do so all at once, or the graffiti regenerates once he stops spraying. It is most commonly seen in the form of '''M Graffiti''',<ref name=Versus>Loe, Casey. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Perfect Guide. Page 9.</ref> plain red paint in the shape of [[Shadow Mario]]'s distinctive M signature, which also appears in the game's opening titles and is painted by Shadow Mario using regular goop on the [[Delfino Airstrip]] and in [[Delfino Plaza]], as well as with [[burning goop]] in [[Pianta Village]]. [[Rainbow M]]s also resemble M Graffiti, and they are painted by Shadow Mario in Delfino Plaza. M Graffiti varies wildly in size, with most being roughly the same length as Mario's height but sometimes appearing slightly smaller or much larger, with a single M Graffiti covering a large portion of Pianta Village during its third episode, [[The Goopy Inferno]]. Cleaning M Graffiti usually rewards Mario with a [[Blue Coin]], except for the two M Graffiti painted on water tanks on the Delfino Airstrip, which reward Mario with standard [[coin]]s instead. These M Graffiti are also the only graffiti in the game that reappear if Mario revisits the area. | In ''Super Mario Sunshine'', graffiti is usually painted on walls, though it also appears on other flat surfaces.

Along with M Graffiti, graffiti also appears in the form of various paired symbols, known as '''Paired Graffiti'''.<ref name=Versus/> The symbols that appear are "×" (called '''X Graffiti'''),<ref>Loe, Casey.

Page 54.</ref> Like M Graffiti, Paired Graffiti is usually drawn in plain red paint, though [[Ricco Harbor]] contains dull green Paired Graffiti as well. Unlike M Graffiti, Paired Graffiti always appears in a consistent size, being roughly the same length as Mario's height. When Mario cleans an instance of Paired Graffiti, a Blue Coin appears at the location (or former location) of the other symbol of the same design in the area, which Mario has a limited time to collect. If Mario does not collect the Blue Coin in time, it disappears, and the graffiti he cleaned off reappears. He must then backtrack and clean the same graffiti a second time to make the Blue Coin appear once again. Two Blue Coins are obtainable for each pair of Paired Graffiti, one for each individual symbol. | Along with M Graffiti, graffiti also appears in the form of various paired symbols, known as '''Paired Graffiti'''.<ref name=Versus/> The symbols that appear are "×" (called '''X Graffiti'''),<ref>Loe, Casey.
