'''Shine Sprites''' are the main collectible item in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. They are the source of bright sunlight on [[Isle Delfino]]. When [[Shadow Mario]] polluted the Shine Monument with a black goop substance, the Shine Sprites fled, which resulted in Delfino Plaza, the island's de-facto capital, being covered in a thin layer of darkness. Mario has to collect Shine Sprites along the way, and as he does, brightness gradually returns to the area. There are a total of 120 Shine Sprites in the game, and they are the equivalent to the [[Power Star]]s in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. | '''Shine Sprites''' are the main collectible item in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''.
