Shine Gate

The Shine Gate is a structure in Delfino Plaza that takes the form of a giant gate. It is where the Shine Sprites gathered. It has a statue of one Shine Sprite towards the top. On top of the gate is a red Warp Pipe that leads to Pianta Village. The statue of the Shine Sprite was covered in Goop by Shadow Mario. Cleaning it will cause a Shine Sprite to appear far above the gate that can be collected with the Rocket Nozzle.
