Shine Sprite

From Mariopedia

A Shine Sprite is a collectible object in Super Mario Sunshine, where it serves a similar purpose to the Power Stars of other 3D Mario games. The game contains 120 in total, and smaller numbers are required to progress through the game, opening up new levels and triggering different events. Mario Kart DS contains Shine Sprites in a multiplayer mode, where they are scattered across a battle arena and the racers holding the fewest after a set period of time are sent out of the battle. Harming another player with an item makes them lose a Shine Sprite.
