At the end of Super Mario Sunshine, Il Piantissimo finds Shadow Mario's paint brush. Do you think that maybe.... he's going to become Shadow Mario II?
 
He may have been the Shadow Mario from Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour.
 
One should note that it was the bandanna, which Bowser Jr. is still in possession of, that turns someone into whatever they want (Shadow Mario in Junior's case); the Magic Paintbrush just lets people make goop, create monsters, and maybe vandalize Wikipedia or something.
 
nope. it was the paintbrush. The mask was painted on by the paintbrush
 
Where does it say the bandana was created that way? I always assumed E. Gadd gave it to Bowser Jr. along with the Magic Paintbrush.
 
The bandana and the paintbursh are independent of each other. I believe the paintbursh allows Bowser Jr. to become Shadow Mario. Junior just has a thing for masks - they allow him to represent something greater than his childish self.
 
I always thought that the bandanna lets him morph into Shadow Mario and the Paintbrush just lets him make graffiti. Guess I'm wrong, though...

You're not the only one. I thought it was like that to.
But some people say that Jr. got the paintbrush by disguising himself as Mario and tricked E. Gadd into giving it to him.
 
You want the true story?

Piantismo, waking up from his sleep on the shores of Gelato Beach, wepp's at being beaten by Mario. A paintbrush came down and hit him upon the head. He got up, and looked at the strange thing. He kiked it into a Pianta, and the pianta fell down into a puddle of goop. Piantisimo picked uyp the paintbrush, and suddenly turned into a goop covered Mario. He had an idea- he could terrorize Isle Delfino, as nintnendo would never introduce it again, or he could play sports. He decided to play sports.
 
Personally, I always thought that the mask made him Shadow Mario (I remember him lowering the mask, and showing his true self, actually) however, that brings up the question of where the mask came from. It could have been an item of Bowser's, or just a creation of the brush (which, I don't think E. Gadd gave to him -- I think he stole it.) I personally believe that the brush made the mask which made him Shadow Mario.
So, as for the Il Piantissimo thing, we'll just have to wait for Super Mario Sunshine -- Il Piantissimo's Revence to see. ;P

EDIT:: Just as a side note, I officially beat Super Mario Sunshine this weekend. ^^ After having it for... a long time, I finally got the attention span to finish it. xD And, I wanted to strangle something after Corona Mountain.
I'd also like to ask if anyone else thought that the only hard part about the boss battle with Bowser and Bowser Jr. was staying on the platforms. o.o;
