Shine Sprite

Shine Sprites, or simply Shines, are golden entities formed in the sun's image that debut in Super Mario Sunshine. They act as guardians of Isle Delfino and are the source of the island's sunshine. They are also Super Mario Sunshine 's equivalent to Super Mario 64 's Power Stars and Super Mario Odyssey 's Power Moons. Their presence is necessary to sustain the lifestyle of Isle Delfino's population, so they are thus held very dear to the island's inhabitants. Under normal circumstances, Shine Sprites gather in great numbers at the Shine Gate, a large structure in the center of Delfino Plaza. They can be scared away from their gathering spot though. When Shine Sprites scatter, their collective power weakens and the island gets covered in a haze that blocks out sunlight.

There are 120 Shine Sprites on Isle Delfino, the same amount of Power Stars in Super Mario 64. Although they are mainly associated with the island, Shine Sprites can appear in other places as well.
