Slimy water: Difference between revisions

'''Slimy water''', also known as '''purple pollutant'''<ref>Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 12.</ref> or '''purple goo''',<ref>Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 135.</ref> is a form of [[goop]]-polluted [[water]] that appears in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. While [[Mario]] is floating on its surface, one section of Mario's [[Health Meter#Super Mario Sunshine|Health Meter]] is depleted about once every two seconds. It harms him only while he is on the surface of the water, though Mario slowly loses air as usual while underwater. Unlike many kinds of goop, Mario cannot clean it with [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]].

Slimy water appears in three areas in the game: Episode 6 of [[Bianco Hills]] ([[The Secret of the Dirty Lake]]), Episode 1 ([[Gooper Blooper Breaks Out]]) through Episode 5 ([[Gooper Blooper Returns]]) of [[Ricco Harbor]], and Episode 1 ([[Uncork the Waterfall]]) to Episode 4 ([[Eely-Mouth's Dentist]]) of [[Noki Bay]]. The color and type of slimy water vary with the level in which it is encountered. In Bianco Hills, brownishbrown and light green goop covers the surface of the lake around the [[Big Windmill]], having spilled out from the [[Cliff Spring Cave]] prior to The Secret of the Dirty Lake. Ricco Harbor's slimy water, also classified as '''oil''',<ref>Bogenn, Tim, and Doug Walsh. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' BradyGAMES Official Strategy Guide.

Noki Bay's translucent purple slimy water came about as a result of [[Eely-Mouth]]'s gingivitis.
