Proto:Super Mario Sunshine/Text Changes
This is a sub-page of Proto:Super Mario Sunshine.
While the text is the same for the most part, there are some subtle changes and corrections that were made between the demo and the game's release. Most of these changes are from the international demo, but the Japanese demo has a few changes as well.

|---|---|
| You seemed like you

were in such a hurry last time I saw you. |
Minor change in wording to sound less awkward.

squirt-tank you got there, sonny! Why don't you water the flowers a bit... They sure need it! |
That's a nice little
squirt-tank you got there, sonny! Why don't you water the flowers a bit? They sure need it! |
A change in punctuation to alter the tone of the message to be a request rather than an indirect command.
| Proto | Final |
|---|---|
| You may be able to
get through at the waterwheel up ahead. |
You might be able to
get through at the waterwheel up ahead |
A minor word swap, but when the change was made, someone accidentally removed the period at the end of the sentence!
| Proto | Final |
|---|---|
| You may have the
others fooled, but I see right through you! |
You might have fooled
the others, but I see right through you! |
Another may/might swap, as well as a bit of rewording to flow better.
| Proto | Final |
|---|---|
| Never fear! Just get
up there and bounce around. You'll be OK. |
Never fear! Just get
up there and bounce around. You'll be fine. |
A minor change, as the word "OK" stands out too much.
| Proto | Final |
|---|---|
| From here on, things
are really dangerous! So no fooling around! |
From here on, things
get really dangerous! So, no fooling around! |
A minor word change, as well as some added punctuation.
| Proto | Final |
|---|---|
| Hey, old guy. Who are you? | Hey, old-timer. Who are you? |
Hey, old guy!
For the sign that points to Ricco Harbor and Pinna Park, there are two extra spaces in front of the arrows in the demo, which were removed for the final. This change is also present in Episode 2.

|---|---|
| Huh?! You think the
arrows are pointing that way on purpose? Ruh-ruh-really? |
Huh?! You think the
arrow is pointing that way on purpose? Ruh-Ruh-Really? |
The mention of arrows was changed to singular, making the Pianta who speaks this line only refer to the arrow sign he is standing next to. Also, capitalization in the last sentence was changed.
Gelato Beach Episode 2
| Proto | Final |
|---|---|
| I'll have you know
that if you use the Dune Buds wisely... you can reach heights you never would normally. |
I'll have you know
that if you use the Dune Buds wisely... ...you can reach heights you never would normally. |
An ellipsis was added at the beginning of the second block to make it more clear that the sentence is continuing.

| Whew! Long plan! | Whew! What a plan! |
The plan isn't really long, just the description of it is.
The signs for the Surf Cabana and Sand Cabana were accidentally switched in the demo. This was corrected in the final version. This error is also present in Episode 3.
Gelato Beach Episode 3
| Proto | Final |
|---|---|
| N-n-now calm down
there, m-m-mister caterpillar! |
N-N-Now, calm down
there, M-M-Mister Caterpillar! |
Another capitalization change, in the same vein as the one in Ricco Harbor. "Mister Caterpillar" is also capitalized, since it is supposed to be used as a proper noun.
| Proto | Final |
|---|---|
| I think you get rid of
that bug by stomping on it's belly. |
I think you get rid of

|---|---|
| Anyway, go show that

Anyway, go give that

A minor change in wording for this excited chap.
