The '''captain'''<ref>{{cite|quote=You must raise the captain's submarine in Episode 1 from the goop.|author=Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton|date=September 3, 2002|title=''Super Mario Sunshine'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|publisher=Prima Games|language=en|isbn=0-7615-3961-1|page=75}}</ref> is a [[List of characters|character]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. He is a [[Pianta]] who appears to be the boss of the sailors and workers at [[Ricco Harbor]], appearing at a different area in each [[Mission|episode]] taking place there. When [[Gooper Blooper]] returns to Ricco Harbor to cause more trouble in [[Gooper Blooper Returns|Episode 5]], the captain sends [[Mario]] to dispose of it while he waits from a safe distance. Later, in [[Red Coins on the Water|Episode 6]], the captain takes all the credit for defeating Gooper Blooper, causing an overly gullible worker to call him a hero. The captain appears at [[Gelato Beach]] in three episodes. He is first seen at the smoothie bar in the [[Surf Cabana]], asking Mario if they have met before,<ref>{{cite|quote=Haven't we met somewhere before? So familiar...|author=Captain|title=''Super Mario Sunshine''}}</ref> and then encourages him to defeat [[Wiggler (Super Mario Sunshine)|Wiggler]]. He later shows up as one of the spectators waiting at the finish line for the race with [[Il Piantissimo]], and the captain participates in the [[watermelon]] contest during the Watermelon Festival. Apparently, he tricks one of the other contestants into switching watermelons with him.
