The Clam Cups are an attraction in Super Mario Sunshine, located on the right side of Pinna Park near the entrance. They are a spinning ride that consists of six different-colored plastic clams spinning around in a circle. Spraying any of the clams causes it to open and release an item. Five of the clams contain either a coin or a 1-Up Mushroom, while the green clam contains a blue coin.

The Buckies appear at the Clam Cups for most of the episodes, with the Shell Flautist in the center of the ride; during Episode 7, while the ride has gained popularity, only Ducky appears at the Clam Cups, and during Episode 8, the Buckies instead move to the entrance.
