'''Graffiti''' is a paint-like substance that first appears in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. It is similar to [[goop]], although Graffiti can mainly be distinguished from how it is usually a sketch painted on flat surfaces, most often walls, usually to depict an image.
'''Graffiti''' is a substance closely related to [[goop]] that first appeared in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. It is a paint-like substance painted on various surfaces by [[Bowser Jr.]] using his [[Magic Paintbrush]]. Unlike regular goop, graffiti is typically harmless on its own, but it can have various other effects.

====''Super Mario Sunshine''====
In ''Super Mario Sunshine'', one type of graffiti that Shadow Mario can paint from his Magic Paintbrush are [[Rainbow M]]s, which is tipped with graffiti. He is specifically seen doing this by painting it on to the [[Grand Pianta Statue]]. There is also a "raw" form that Shadow Mario uses to paint his infamous "M" signature, known as '''M Graffiti''',<ref name=Versus>Loe, Casey. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Perfect Guide. Page 9.</ref> which also appears as a logo at the beginning of the game. Along with Shadow Mario's signature, there are also painted symbols that come in pairs, known as '''Paired Graffiti'''.<ref name=Versus/> The symbols that appear are "×" (X Graffiti),<ref>Loe, Casey.

In ''Super Mario Sunshine'', graffiti is usually painted on walls, though it also appears on other flat surfaces. [[Mario]] can clean it off of surfaces by spraying it with [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]], and he must do so all at once or the graffiti will regenerate 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 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 Graffitis painted on [[water]] tanks on the [[Delfino Airstrip]], which reward Mario with standard [[coin]]s instead. These M Graffitis are also the only graffitis in the game that reappear if Mario revisits the area.


Most graffiti is colored red, though green graffiti appears in [[Ricco Harbor]], and black graffiti was used to deface the [[Shine Monument]], as well as the bells inside Delfino Plaza's two bell-towers. When graffiti is sprayed long enough, it will be completely cleaned off the wall. After it is cleaned off, a [[Blue Coin]] will be released for Mario to collect (with the only two exceptions being the two graffiti "M" symbols on the sides of the water tanks at the [[Delfino Airstrip]], which release only regular [[Coin|gold coins]]). In the case of paired symbols, when one symbol is cleaned off, the Blue Coin appears next to its matching symbol, and vice versa. If Mario does not collect the Blue Coin in time, it will disappear, and the graffiti he cleaned off will reappear. He must then backtrack and clean it off a second time to make the Blue Coin appear once again. Mario will earn a [[Shine Sprite]] for cleaning the graffiti off the Shine Monument and each of the two bells.
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. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Perfect Guide. Page 12.</ref> "○" (called '''O Graffiti'''),<ref>Loe, Casey. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Perfect Guide.

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.


Black graffiti is also used to deface the [[Shine Gate]]'s [[Shine Sprite]] monument as well as the bells inside Delfino Plaza's two bell towers. Mario can earn a Shine Sprite each for cleaning the graffiti off the Shine Gate's monument and each of the two bells.
There is also ink goop on the wall near the crates where [[Gooper Blooper]] is fought for the first time in Ricco Harbor. It cannot be washed off, but it does not hurt Mario. The goop leaks out of the crates Gooper Blooper is in and runs down the wall into the water, so it is a type of [[slimy water]].

Another type of graffiti appears during the first episode of [[Noki Bay]], [[Uncork the Waterfall]]. This graffiti is pink, yellow, orange, and white, and several blotches of it are positioned at intervals along a tall cliff face near the starting point of the level. These goop blotches are shaped like various things relating to the sea, including a squid, a sailboat, a [[dolphin]], a [[whale]], an octopus, and a [[Bird (Super Mario Sunshine)|bird]]. This graffiti can be cleaned off by Mario, but it cannot hurt him. As Mario cleans the blotches off, [[platform]]s of varying sizes appear out of the cliff face, which he can then use to climb upward. Cleaning off all of this graffiti helps Mario reach the cork plugging the waterfall, where he has to defeat a [[Monty Mole]] in order to finish the episode.

In the ''[[Bowser's Fury]]'' game included within ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'', during the introductory cutscene, Mario comes across a black M Graffiti that transforms into a portal, taking him to [[Lake Lapcat]]. Throughout the islands of Lake Lapcat, [[? Block|?-shaped]] graffiti appears on various walls and surfaces. When Bowser Jr. joins Mario, he can use his [[Magic Paintbrush]] to create other graffiti art in these spots, yielding a reward once complete. While painting, he produces paint colored and textured like electric goop. In single-player mode, the player must either use the touch cursor or press {{button|ns|a}} when next to a graffiti spot to send Bowser Jr. to investigate. In multiplayer, only the second player can paint graffiti by approaching a graffiti spot and pressing {{button|ns|y}}. Once a graffiti spot has been painted, it will shine briefly before the shine fades. The art will remain in place of the ? mark permanently, but if the current save file is reloaded, the art will appear in black and white. If Bowser Jr. approaches the spot again, he will repaint the art in color, producing the same effect.

Graffiti is a substance closely related to goop that first appeared in Super Mario Sunshine. It is a paint-like substance painted on various surfaces by Bowser Jr. using his Magic Paintbrush. Unlike regular goop, graffiti is typically harmless on its own, but it can have various other effects.

History

Super Mario series

Super Mario Sunshine

In Super Mario Sunshine, graffiti is usually painted on walls, though it also appears on other flat surfaces. Mario can clean it off of surfaces by spraying it with FLUDD, and he must do so all at once or the graffiti will regenerate once he stops spraying. It is most commonly seen in the form of M Graffiti,[1] 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 Ms also resemble M Graffiti, and 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 Graffitis painted on water tanks on the Delfino Airstrip, which reward Mario with standard coins instead. These M Graffitis are also the only graffitis in the game that reappear if Mario revisits the area.

Along with M Graffiti, graffiti also appears in the form of various paired symbols, known as Paired Graffiti.[1] The symbols that appear are "×" (called X Graffiti),[2] "○" (called O Graffiti),[3] and "△" (called Triangle Graffiti).[4] 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.

Black graffiti is also used to deface the Shine Gate's Shine Sprite monument as well as the bells inside Delfino Plaza's two bell towers. Mario can earn a Shine Sprite each for cleaning the graffiti off the Shine Gate's monument and each of the two bells.

Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury

Graffiti reappears in the Bowser's Fury campaign of Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. In the introductory cutscene of the campaign, Mario comes across a black M Graffiti that transforms into a portal, taking him to Lake Lapcat. Throughout the islands of Lake Lapcat, ?-shaped graffiti appears on various walls and surfaces. When Bowser Jr. joins Mario, he can use his Magic Paintbrush to create other graffiti art in these spots, yielding a reward once complete. While painting, he produces paint colored and textured similarly to electric goop. In single-player mode, the player must either use the touch cursor or press A Button when next to a graffiti spot to send Bowser Jr. to investigate. In multiplayer, only the second player can paint graffiti by approaching a graffiti spot and pressing Y Button. Once a graffiti spot has been painted, it shines briefly before the shine fades. The art remains in place of the ? mark permanently, but if the current save file is reloaded, the art appears in black and white. If Bowser Jr. approaches the spot again, he repaints the art in color, producing the same effect.
