Most of us have now seen them pictures from the new Gamecube Mario game, Mario Sunshine. In the pictures the over weight italian plumer has a strange backpack on. Every where is asking the questions what is the bag for, what is its purpose in the game?

Well here are my ideas:

1. It sucks in enemies, which will be turned into either energy or power ups.

2. It shoots bubbles, wich can trap enmies. He can also get into a bubble, so he can fly.

3. It feels with air, once again giving him the power to fly.

4. It shoots water, which destroys enemies, and puts out fires. Maybe the fires around bowser?

Who knows what its for. What are your ideas?

Maybee its a power up, like the caps in mario 64, you get it from a box so... you dont have it all the time.

No they are like mushrooms on legs and you kill them on the side scrolling super mario games. They may be called Goombas.

Maybe Mario has a sidekick in his bag? Banjo-kazooie style.

Probably not luigi, but maybe asomthin like the little guy from Jak&daxter? could be...

I'd like mario to have a sidekick, sometimes the other mario games can get lonely :D

In all seriousness, I read in the official nintendo magazine a few months ago, that the backpack wasfor shooting water out of at the enemies...in fact, if you look at a screenshot, you should see a little circle somewhere with what looks like water inside it

Its always possible that that backpack is only an add on, like a power up you can only collect for certain situations and wont be used during the whole game. I hope its more like mario 64, rather than luigis mansion, where its just the same thing over and over again.

I think the backpack contains Marios excrement(poo), so the enemies won't know he is there, or where he has been...like in the SAS or something
