Generators are thick puddles of goop featured in Super Mario Sunshine. They are always located in the middle of a large quantity of Goop, and there is always a large object, usually a building, hidden beneath the Generator. Brown and black generators can spawn Swoopin' Stus, and black ones continually replenish the goop surrounding them them. Mario cannot spray away a Generator using FLUDD. If he sprays a Generator for a few seconds, a Polluted Piranha Plant emerges from it. Once Mario defeats the Polluted Piranha Plant, the Generator and its surrounding Goop disappear, and the object that was buried beneath it rises back out.

In Bianco Hills's first mission, The Road to the Big Windmill, there is a unique brown Generator that launches out goop-covered Piranhabons down the path in front of it every few seconds. If Mario is nearby, the Generator starts launching the Piranhabons in his direction. It stops launching them when Mario sprays it with F.L.U.D.D. and the Polluted Piranha appears. If Mario doesn't fight the Polluted Piranha, it will retreat back into the Generator, which will then begin launching Piranhabons again. In the same mission, there is a smaller brown Generator found in the grass in the middle of Windmill Village, separate from the other Goop, and it spawns Strollin' Stus endlessly. If Mario sprays this Generator for long enough, it pops like a bubble.
