Isle Delfino is where Super Mario Sunshine takes place. It has not been featured in any other Mario games since.

The isle is shaped like a dolphin, hence its name. You also don't have to worry about being scammed for "gamer water" here.

In canon[]

Unfortunately, Mario did not have a good time here, as he was wrongfully convicted of vandalism and sentenced to "clean up" Isle Delfino. He eventually manages to find the real culprit and beat him down, as well as his father, but there's no evidence that the Piantas formally exonerated him.

Major locations[]

  • Delfino Plaza: The "hub" world of the game.
  • Bianco Hills: A grassy area cut out into a mountain, full of windmills.
  • Ricco Harbor: A port town with many ships and much scaffolding.
  • Gelato Beach: A beach area (duh) with many Cataquacks and the Sand Bird.
  • Pinna Park: An amusement park area with swinging pirate ships, a Ferris wheel, a roller coaster, a Yoshi-themed merry-go-round, and clam-shaped cups...as well as many Electrokoopas.
  • Sirena Beach: Another beach. Locked in perpetual sunset, this area is where the main hotel is that tourists stay at. Allegedly a 4-star resort with a casino, Boos have haunted the place.
  • Noki Bay: The Nokis' home, this rocky area goes WAY up...and way down into the water!
  • Pianta Village: The Piantas' home. The entire village sits inside a gigantic tree, and has a thriving underside with big mushrooms.
  • Corona Mountain: An active volcano. Has very relaxing hot springs.

Fanon appearances[]

St. Clair Publications[]

  • For extremely obvious reasons, Isle Delfino features heavily in Super Mario Sunshine Deluxe.
  • Delfino Plaza is a stage on Super Smash Stadium, functioning much like it does in canon. However, the stage's appearance changed slightly in May 2016 (see below).
  • Isle Delfino featured somewhat heavily in The World of Nintendo. Most notably, the Season 7 finale was a controversial outing in which Mario refused to help the Piantas clean up the isle after Corona Mountain erupted, all as revenge against them for his false conviction and imprisonment.
    • Delfino Plaza's appearance was changed for the rest of the show's run as a result of the volcanic eruption, and the "new" Plaza eventually appeared in SSS and SMSDX.
  • Pinna Park is a level in Life in FCHS: The New Old Video Game. All the other levels that were visible from that level in SMS can also be seen here, but they can't be visited.
  1. He debuted here, but he's likely not from here!
