Take Shine Sprites to Merlon in east Rogueport, to the left of Frankly's house.

Eventually Merlon will be standing outside, telling you something about an item
at Hooktail's Castle. Head to Hooktail Castle. Once there, head for the room where
you got cursed. Go into the room to the right of it, where the spike maze was, and
use Bobbery to bomb the wall. Hit the switch, and grab the Up Arrow. Return it
to Merlon, and you can upgrade all partners once again!

fence and go up to the ledge. Shine is sitting there.

Once you get the Super Hammer, go into the room with the giant yellow block. 
Destroy it, and ride the platform up. 


Shine #3
-under west side-
Drop down into the sewers via the west side. Fly across to the left, and this Shine
is waiting.


Shine #4
-far room-
In order to get this, you must have the boat curse and spring jump. Drop down
from the west side, and go through the down pipe. Blow away the area at the bottom
of the steps to reveal a pipe. Instead, go through the left wall behind the stairs,
and take the boat platform all the way to the right. Take care of all the Spanias
to make life easier.

Same trio in the room from #4


Shine #6

Acess this area to the left from the east side entrance. Blow up the pillar with
Bobbery and take the platform up. Go straight back and Spring Jump to a pipe and
over onto the right building. Jump down, and down again onto a pillar behind
Dazzle.

-near entrance-
Up top in the room where you must move the stairs. 


Shine #2
-treasure room-
The room where we first encounter Ms. Mowz. The memories!

Its right in front of the door.



================================================================================

Boggly Woods
Shines: 1

================================================================================


Shine #1

When traveling, you have to use an airplane panel. This Shine is floating behind
it, simply use Koops to bring her home.



================================================================================

The Great Tree
Shines: 3

================================================================================


Shine #1
-second area-
Head through the first door. This room has the bubbles in it. Drop down below and
over on the right side lies this Shine.


Shine #2
-airplane panel access-
In the one room is an airplane panel, but covered with a block type thing. Use
Flurrie to rid of it and take the panel to another one, and that one takes you to
this Shine.


Shine #3
-under Spin Jump area-
In the area before the room with the Spin Jump is a board. Spin Jump to break it
and travel around, jumping from block to block, to nab this shine.


Shine #4
-water filled room-
After you drain the water, go back through the down pipe into the room where it
drained to. At the top is a lilly pad- jump out to it and grab the last Shine 
thats here.



================================================================================

Glitzville
Shines: 2

================================================================================


Shine #1
-outside-
On the right before heading inside, opposite Hot Dog Stand. Hammer under it to
reveal a box allowing access. Spring jump also works too.


Shine #2
-storage room, floor 2-
Couldn't be any simpler



================================================================================

Twilight Trail
Shines: 1

================================================================================


Shine #1
-last area-
Right before coming upon Creepy Steeple, there is a Hyper Cleft. Get him out of
the way. Where the tree blocks the screen, jump. Its in the centered in the blocked
out part, making it one of the two hardest to grab.



================================================================================

Creepy Steeple
Shines: 3

================================================================================


Shine #1
-inside-
right after you walk inside, on the top screen, there is an area you can roll under.
While here, grab the Legendary Cookbook for Zess T.'s trouble. 


Shine #2
-well-
In the area you drop down towards the bottom left.


Shine #3
-well-
After you climb the incline thing and pass through via veil, its at the top next
to a Save Block. How you miss this one...



================================================================================

Keelhaul Key
Shines: 2

================================================================================


Shine #1
-cliff area-
In the second area of the jungle are the cliffs you jump up. Once at the top, look
left. Use Koops to reveal a box, which you can Yoshi out too. 


Shine #2
-bridge area-
Right after you cross the bridge, this Shine lies behind the branch of the tree.



================================================================================

Pirate's Grotto
Shines: 5

================================================================================

Shine #1
-first area-
Once inside the actual place, its in the first area. When you jump to the boat
to cross, its at the very top.


Shine #2
-save block room-
The first Save Block room you encounter (again, once inside), at the top of the
cliffs.


Shine #3
-storage room-
In the room you got the key (at the end of the path from the previous Shine),
hit the red switch so the platform touches the ground. Then hold Koops' shell
and go jump on the platform. Then, when it goes up, jump to the box. Let it go up
and jump over. This is one of the two hardest Shines in the game, in my opinion.


Shine #4
-wave room-
In the room where the waves are, and on the ground path is the spikes you roll
under. When you walk in on the immediate left. Koops can get 'em.


Shine #5
-left of wave room-
Walk over a room from the previous shine (heading left). Spring jump is an option,
otherwise hammer the block under it to open access.

she's there.
