Okay peeps, here is a COMPLETE GUIDE to ALL the BLUE COINS on MARIO SUNSHINE. This took me hours, so appreciate it. That first, second, third etc stuff is on there because I WAS going to put this on ukhints.com, but the prize is only £25, so stuff that. (1000 characters a time). Enjoy, and if you’re lucky, I’ll tell you how to get Miyamoto’s book. (Clue, Noki Bay, Chapter 3).
Delphino Plaza Blue Coins:
1. The first one is in the jail cell under the eastern bell tower. Swim around to the backside and you’ll find an entrance.
2-3. There is an X on the statue at the south of town and another X on the side of the western bell tower by the boardwalk. Spray each one and run to the other to get the blue coins.
4. In the centre of town, at the bottom of the Shine Gate, there is a crate on the boardwalk. Stomp it and to get an M painted on the wall. Spray for Blue Coin.
5. On the rooftops just west of the Shine Gate, there is a group of birds. Keep spraying the blue bird until it drops the coin.
6. You’ll find another blue bird to spray over by the pineapple-stuffed pipe that leads to Sirena Beach later in the game.
7. On the building that arches over the canal, there is another M hidden behind a crate. Break crate, spray M, blue coin.
8. Go to the island that’s out west of town. Drop into the sewer and you’ll find a blue coin in the sewers just south of the island. FIRST
9-12. People with basket want fruit. Talk to one then put three of the correct fruit into their basket. Talk again to get blue coin. The lady by the Shine Gate wants pineapples. The lady near Bay’s entrance wants bananas. The lady out on the island wants limes. (Available from nearby tree.) Now the last one is a doozie. The lady with a turned-over basket wants the fruit that can’t be picked up...looks like a pineapple with no leafage. However, she’s surrounded by the city’s river. You have to use your footy skills to get the ball-like fruit to her. If you move Mario right up next to the fruit and press A, he’ll kick the fruit up into the air. This is how you’ll get the fruit up to the platform across the river from your destination, right near the base of the Shine Gate. Kick the fruit over so that it’s lined up well; you want it directly across from those umbrellas. Kick it, follow it over with your hover and kick it into the basket. Do three times, talk, get coin. Simple. Not. SECOND
13. In the sewer system, you’ll find another blue coin just under the canal near the Shine Gate.
14. In the sewers there is another blue coin north of the Shine Gate, under the hills.
15. Get on the rooftops and head to the west side of town near the Pinna Park cannon. On the side of one of the towers is another M you can spray for a blue coin.
16. After you’ve gotten six shines, one of the villagers will be on fire and running around near the fruit stands. Put out the fire, and he’ll give you a blue coin.
17. After you have Yoshi, go back to the tower by Pinna Park and spray the paint on top of the building with Juice. It will dissolve, revealing a blue coin.
18. Same as before, but on rooftops near the lighthouse.
19. After you’ve got the propeller nozzle, head over to the pillars east of the lighthouse. There is a gate to break. A blue coin is inside.
20. At the airport, there is a blue coin stuck in a block of ice. Spray away the ice, and the coin will be yours. THIRD
Bianco Hills Blue Coins:
Story 1
1. Go to the river just before the town and follow to the end. There’s a blue coin just under the water.
2. There is an M painted on the town-side of the wall between the bells and the waterwheel. Wash it off for a blue coin.
3. There is another M painted on the house with two towers on the north end of town. Spray it down for the blue coin.
4. Back on the southern end of town, there is a tall building with a balcony. Get onto the balcony and you’ll see two holes. Spray the hole on the left for a blue coin.
5. Head north across the rooftops, and look for the building with the two towers. There is a blue coin in the eastern tower.
6. Between both of those buildings are two medium-sized windmills with rotating platforms. There is a blue coin floating between the western windmill and the hills.
7. Climb the waterwheel and get on top of the wall. You should be able to spot another M painted on the wall. Clean it off for a blue coin. FOURTH
8-9. Go south just a bit and rotate your camera around a little. You should be able to see two X’s painted on the sides of the wall. One is on the town side, hidden in a closed-in section of the wall. The other is on the eastern “forest” side. Spray them both for blue coins.
10. Keep heading south along the wall until you get almost where the two walls intersect. One of the smaller windmills is there on the eastern side of the wall. Spray the windmill and it will spin faster and faster until the blue coin appears.
11. Jump into the water east of the monster spewing out all that sludge. You should be able to find a blue coin just sitting under there.
12. Head up the hill that leads to the large windmill. There is an M painted on the side of the windmill just before you ride the blades to the top. Wash it off for the blue coin.
Story 2
13. Just west of the large windmill is a tall pillar with a bit of grass at the top. Spray the top of the pillar and a blue coin will pop out. FIFTH
Story 3
14. Make your way back to the large windmill. On the path, you’ll find a villager covered in sludge. Wash him off, and he’ll give you a blue coin.
15. Get back on top of the windmill where you encountered the second boss. Now there is a cactus-like enemy waiting for you. Defeat it for the blue coin. (Kill it before it falls)
16. From the top of the windmill look out over the level. You should now see a series of tightropes and small windmills just in front of you. On top of one of the platforms is a blue coin.
Story 4
17. Underneath the bridge that leads from the forest area to the large windmill, you’ll spot a blue coin and a few other coins. Use the tightropes below to bounce up and grab the fence.
18. Get on top of the wall just south of the forest and on the other side of the river. Follow it east and you’ll see three brick platforms jutting out from the side of the hill. On the third platform is another cactus enemy. Defeat it for a blue coin. SIXTH
19. Grab the rocket nozzle and head all the way to the western edge of the town. There is a small ledge in the side of the hills. Rocket up there and you’ll find a blue coin.
Story 5
20. There is a large concrete pillar that connects the two main walls in the level. If you’re heading on the path from where the level starts, you should see it on your right. Get on top of it and you’ll see another villager covered in sludge. Hose him down, and he’ll give you a blue coin.
21. Before you go and wake up that boss, rocket up to the group of platforms on top of the hills north of town. There is a blue coin on the centre platform.
Story 6
22. Head back up those hills and look towards the platform where the last boss was sleeping. You should notice two clouds floating there now. Spray one cloud o make it expand and jump on it. Do the same with next cloud. Then jump to the platform. Use your hover nozzle to spray the platform and a blue coin will pop out. SEVENTH
23. Get on top of the building with the two towers and look back toward the hills you were just on. You should be able to see another blue coin floating near the top of one of the smaller windmills. Jump and hover from the building or make your way to the top of that windmill and jump down.
24. Head over to the ramp that leads from the forest to the large windmill. Just to the west of it, you’ll notice an out-of-place coin on the shore. You’ll need to brave the pollution and follow that coin into the water. Dive under the sludge and you’ll see a whole line of coins, leading to a blue coin.
Story 7
25-26. On the northern sides of the tall building with the balcony and the building with the two towers, you’ll find O’s painted. Like X’s, but you need to be faster. I suggest spraying the O’s from a distance so that you’ll have less ground to cover while the timer’s running. EIGTH
27. On top of the building with the balcony is one of the small windmills. Find your way to the top of it, and watch for a blue bird flying around. Shoot down the bird, and it will drop a blue coin.
28. Bounce around on the treetops and make your way to the tree that’s farthest north - close to the waterwheel. Use your hover nozzle to spray the centre of the tree and a blue coin will pop out.
Story 8 (with Yoshi)
29. Floating around the town is a blue butterfly. It’s constantly flying around, so there’s no precise location. It tends to be near the hills though. Find it with Yoshi and have him eat it. It will leave behind a blue coin.
30. Head over to the forest and look for the honeycombs. Knock down the eastern honeycomb and have Yoshi eat all the bees. Once you’ve gotten them all, the last one will leave behind the blue coin. NINTH
Ricco Harbour Blue Coins:
Story 1
1. Go to the side of the warehouses near the beginning. Next to the guy wearing sunglasses, an M is painted on the wall. Wash it off for the coin.
2. Now, get on top of the warehouses and you should see another M painted on the side of the cliff. Hose it down for a blue coin.
3. Head east to where the lighthouse is and examine the ship. You should see another M painted on its side.
4. Just north of the lighthouse, a crate is sitting by the water. Bust it open, and a blue coin will pop out.
5. Clean the black sludge off the ground around the lighthouse to find another M painted on the ground.
6. Now you should also see a guy standing on top of some bricks and near some cement mixers. Face him. Then, turn to your left and start spraying down the wall. If you hit the right spot, you should see a blue outline of a shine begin to appear. Coins will pop out if you continue to spray it, and finally you’ll get a blue coin for your effort. TENTH
7. Get onto the black ship inside the fences. There is another M hidden underneath the sludge on deck.
8. Get on top of the ship’s smokestack and look south. You should see a crane moving back and forth, and on top of it, there is a blue coin.
9. Get back to the smokestack and you should see another blue coin on the scaffolding just above the crane. Flip and hover up there to get it.
10. If you look northwest from there, you’ll see some red fences. Jump over and climb to the top of the nearest one. Jump over to the next set of scaffolding, and you’ll see another coin directly east.
11. Well, if you’re like me, you probably got knocked off by one of the enemies, so head back to the smokestack. Look north to the lighthouse, and you should see another blue coin on the scaffolding surrounding it.
12. Swim south of that same ship and you’ll see a blue coin underwater beneath the orange platform with an arrow pointing east. ELEVENTH
13. Find your back up to the eastern part of the blue scaffolding and look for the beam that juts farthest to the south. At the end of that beam is a line of coins leading down to a blue coin. Hang off the end of the beam and slide down to get it.
14. Make your way over to the platform next to the yellow submarine. There is a propeller that you can spray to raise it out of the water. Raise the submarine all the way to the top, and a blue coin will pop out of the propeller.
15. Head up to the town now and find the fountain on the western side of town. There is a blue coin floating just above it.
16. Just east of the fountain, there is another M painted on the wall. One of the villagers is staring right at it.
17. Get on the rooftops, and head east. Near where the boss is hiding you’ll find an M on the wall above one of the buildings. TWELTH
18. Follow the stone path that leads from the rooftops and stretches out toward the helipad. Jump to the helipad and look southeast. You should see a series of tall platforms out there. You can actually make it over there by doing a triple jump or spin jump and hovering. However, you might find it easier to wait until you unlock the rocket nozzle. Either way, go to the lowest platform and head east to the ledges in the cliff side. On the eastern cliff there is another M painted on the wall. Note: If you wait until Story 8, there is a brown villager near the submarine who will toss you straight out to the cliff.
19. Head back to the tall platforms and make your way up to the one farthest west. There is an M painted on it that you can spray for a blue coin.
Story 2
20. In story 2, you’ll find a series of sailboats in the harbour. Find the one that’s furthest to the east and look southwest. You should see a blue coin floating in the air that you can jump to from the boat. THIRTEENTH
21. Jump on one of the squid and head follow the coins to the sewer entrance shown in the cut-scene. On the way, you’ll see a blue coin that you’ll need to jump for.
Story 3
22. Climb the fences on the black ship by the lighthouse. You should see several yellow spiders climbing the fences now. It doesn’t seem that you can defeat them at first, but you can if you attack them from the opposite of the fence. There is one on the side of one of the fences that you can punch for a blue coin.
23. Another one of the spiders is hanging from the top of the fences. If you spray it with a bit of water, it will curl up. Then you can jump and stomp the fence above it to knock it down and score a blue coin.
24. On the scaffolding high above the harbour, you’ll find the rocket nozzle. Once you’ve acquired it, get on top of the lighthouse. Charge up the rocket and jump to get a blue coin. FOURTEENTH
Story 4
25. You’re going to hate someone for this one. You know the last shine you got where you had to climb all the way up and get into that yellow fence? Well, do it again. Inside you’ll find a squid that has a blue coin. Hint: There are a couple easier ways. If you look at the bottom of that yellow fence, you just might find one.
Story 6
26. On the eastern end of town where the giant squid used to be, the villagers have set up a fish market. Spray the baskets in the middle for a blue coin.
Story 7
27. There are two green X’s. One is painted on the side of the lighthouse. The other is on one of the buildings on the eastern side of town. Starting at the lighthouse, spray the X and jump into the sewer. Then spray a bit of water and slide to the eastern end of the pipe. Jump out just in time to get the blue coin before it disappears. FIFTEENTH
28. For the other coin, you’ll need the propeller nozzle. Spray the X from a distance and use the propeller nozzle to cut west through the town. Jump off the ledge to get to the coin in time.
Story 8
29. The last two are easy. First make sure you go grab Yoshi. Then look for a group of blue butterflies. Eat them all for a blue coin.
30. Now take Yoshi over by the lighthouse. There is a yellow spider climbing n one of the walls. Eat it for the last blue coin. Another way, although much more difficult, is to rocket jump directly above the spider and then stomp own onto it. SIXTEENTH

THIRTY FIRST
18. From there, there is another groove you can follow south. It will lead to a long vertical passage inside the cliff. Wall jump to the top for a blue coin.
19. Above where you found the first groove, near the wheel for the pulley, you’ll find another groove. Again, follow it to the end and spray the wall to find a hidden area with a blue coin.
20. Go back to the southern cliffs where the purple fisherman is waiting and spray the stone in the wall to reveal a maze. Go up the passage above the stone. Then hang and sidle to the east to get to the space with the blue coin.
21. Continue up the cliffs and open the second maze. Go up the vertical passage and you’ll see a blue coin in a hole above you. Jump out from the ledge and hover back to get the coin.
22-23. After you’ve defeated the squid and dropped into the cave with the shine, look for two large urns. Spray each of them for blue coins. THIRTY SECOND
Story 6
24-25. There are two O’s painted on the cliffs across from each other on the northern and southern ends of the bay. To get the blue coins in time, you’ll need to make good use of the boat nearby. It’s not easy, but point the boat towards the opposite shore, jump out to spray the O and then propel the boat over to grab the coin.
26. Get on top of the large shell where you enter the challenge stage and look south toward the cliffs. You should see a blue coin in a hole in the wall. (You can actually get this in Story 1, but it takes a lot of skill to get up there.)
Story 8
27-30. Use the waterfall to get to the undersea village. Once you’re underwater. Search the tops of the pillars to find four blue coins. THIRTY THIRD

4. Go to the top of the tree in the northwest corner of town. There is a blue coin in the crown of the tree.

7. At the end of the river on the eastern side of the stage there is a blue coin.
8. Swim up the river to find another blue coin under a bridge.
9. There is an M painted on the southern wall of the platform that the fruit tree is on top of. Wash it off for a blue coin.
THIRTY FOURTH
10. Between the bridge and the central tree, there is an M painted on the southern wall of one of the wooden buildings. Hose it off for a blue coin.
11. Just south of that wall look for a hole next to a pink villager and green villager. Drop in and hang from the grating. Adjust the camera so that you can see the ceiling above you. M painted on ceiling to west of hole. To get to it, get on the vertical panel that’s nearby, punch it, and quickly jump on top of the grating you were just hanging from. Spray the M for a blue coin.
12. Get on top of the golden mushroom and shoot the moon for a blue coin.
Story 3
13. Right under the golden mushroom, there is an M painted on the deck. Grab FLUDD and wash it off for a blue coin.
14. Head south of the golden mushroom, washing the fire paint away. Under the paint, there is a large M painted on the ground. Clean it off for a blue coin.
15. On the eastern side of the village, there’s a guy on fire. Put the fire out, you get blue coin. THIRTY FIFTH
Story 5
16. Stomp on the nose of the hot springs statue to get a blue coin.

20. Spray the hole in the central tree for a blue coin.
Story 6

Story 8
30. Head up the platforms around the central tree. Stand next to the box with the rocket nozzle and look for a blue bird. Shoot it down for a blue coin. THIRTY SIXTH
Corona Mountain Blue Coins
1. There is a blue coin on the third safe platform.
2-10. The other nine coins are floating above the lava just before you head up the vertical passage. You can use some expert boating manoeuvres to get around to each one, but considering how hard it is to steer the boat, you may want to just jump for them from the central platform and spend a lot of lives in the process.

Hope you're pretty far now! If not, WHY NOT?!

Well you put the final nail in my coffin.
One slight flaw man, although you might only win £25 worth in hints, you can't win jack for cheats over here - only discussions stand a chance.
Still helpful though.
I might actually bother trying to finish it.

So Cyclone is lying. Ha. Also, you have to get the blue coins near bowser, counting for another shine. YOU LIED, CYCLONE. I WILL CUSS YOU!!
except you have to fight Bowser at least twice because defeating him for the first time gives you a shine.
I did Bowser when I had 116, suppose its better to do it with 120. Hmmm.
Woohoo!
Found them.
Got all 120 now.
Off to fight Bowser....

DAMN IT!

Touché.
Why not enter this on ukhints? Sure, it's just £25.00 - but you could get, say, Resident Evil for that.
I currently have 119, just need the coin star on Pianta Village. I'm NEARLY THERE!! Plus I kinda have the book. Ask.
