| '''Corona Mountain''' is the eighth and final level in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. Corona Mountain is a volcano on [[Isle Delfino]], located directly behind [[Delfino Plaza]]. As Isle Delfino is shaped like a dolphin, Corona Mountain is placed where the dolphin's blowhole would be. The entrance to the volcano is located behind the [[Shine Gate]], over a couple of ledges and behind a hot spring. To enter Corona Mountain, the player must complete each of the other levels' seventh episode, which are the [[Shadow Mario]] episodes. Upon doing so, the gate blocking the entrance to the volcano will break and Delfino Plaza will become flooded. Simply entering and leaving Corona Mountain will return Delfino Plaza to normal. | | '''Corona Mountain''' is the final area [[Mario]] and [[F.L.U.D.D.]] visit in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. The path to this area is opened after Mario and F.L.U.D.D. complete all of the game's [[Shadow Mario]] levels. Corona Mountain is where the final showdown against [[Bowser]] and [[Bowser Jr.]] takes place. |

| "Corona" means "crown" in Italian, Spanish and Latin, and can also refer to the {{wp|stellar corona|superhot plasma atmosphere}} that surrounds the sun. Because the rest of the locations of [[Isle Delfino]] have Italian names, the lava-filled volcano's allusion to the sun's heat may have merely been an afterthought or coincidence when "corona" was chosen for the mountain that crowned the "head" of the dolphin-shaped island.
| | The volcano contains an area where Mario must [[jump]] across platforms. These platforms are of two types. One type is a spiked platform, where [[Spike (obstacle)|Spikes]] rise up and then recoil every few seconds. The tips of the spikes are shown a tiny bit to inform the player of the coming spikes before they rise completely, giving the player a few moments to escape. Note that these spikes cause instant death (except in rare circumstances if the hit is angled correctly, although a lot of health is lost), so timing is crucial. The other type is a platform that is covered in fire. It doesn't cause death immediately, but since the player is knocked upwards from the fire and back down when damaged, the player would likely lose a life anyway. This fire can easily be doused with F.L.U.D.D., but it will ignite again after a period of time. Also the [[player]] must avoid a [[Cheep-Cheep]] that lurks in the lava. They will jump up and knock [[Mario]] into the [[lava]]. There is also an area where the [[plumber]] must steer a boat to the other side of a sea of [[lava]]. Falling into the lava results in instant death. If the boat collides with anything, it will sink into the lava. Surprisingly, although the boat is made of mud, no harm will come to it if the player avoids the obstacles. The final part of Corona Mountain is using the Rocket Nozzle to blast up onto clouds to reach Bowser's spa. Unlike the other areas, Corona Mountain does not have episodes and is merely an obstacle course, followed by the final battle. |

| ==History==
| |
| ===''Super Mario Sunshine''===
| |
| [[File:SMS spikes.png|thumb|left|Mario traversing the first part of Corona Mountain.]] | |
| [[File:SMS Corona Mountain Boat Ride.png|thumb|Mario riding in a mud boat inside Corona Mountain.]]
| |
| The interior of Corona Mountain is a large pool of [[lava]] with several scattered platforms. Several of the platforms appear to be part of a broken walkway that used to lead to the back of the volcano. The first half of the volcano has large, square platforms [[Mario]] has to jump between. The platforms contain either [[Spike (obstacle)|spikes]] that move in and out of the platform or [[Burner|fire]] that Mario has to spray with [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]] to douse. Several [[Lava Cheep Cheep]]s will also be jumping out of the lava in the first half of the stage. In the center of the stage, there is a sprinkler players can use to refill FLUDD and a [[crate]] with a [[1-Up Mushroom]] in it.
| |
|
| |
|
| The second half of the stage has many spires coming out of the lava and the player needs to use a [[mudboat]] to move through them to the platform in the back. To propel the boat, players have to spray water in the opposite direction of where they want the boat to move, though the propulsion also takes into account where Mario is standing on the boat. If the boat crashes into something, it will sink and Mario could fall into the lava. In the center of the spires is a sprinkler that will refill FLUDD if Mario travels underneath it.
| | There are only ten [[Blue Coins]] throughout the entire mountain. The first blue coin is on a safe platform and can be obtained with relative ease. The other nine are in a circle formation around the platform at the end of the sea of lava, where the player has to equip the Rocket Nozzle. These nine coins can be obtained by steering the mudboat around the platform. |
|
| |
|
| At the end of Corona Mountain is a large, circular platform with a [[Rocket Nozzle]] power-up. Using the Rocket Nozzle, Mario can shoot up to the clouds above; at the top is a red cloud that will send Mario to the final boss fight when he shoots through it.
| | To access Corona Mountain, the player has to complete episode 7 (the Shadow Mario episodes) for each of the seven main areas of the game. In other words, episodes 1-7 have to be completed (with the exception of the [[Bianco Hills|first area]], where episode 1 can be skipped), but episode eight is completely optional. |

| ====Episodes====
| |
| [[File:SMScoronabanner.png|thumb|The unused banner for Corona Mountain.]] | |
| This location contains only the following episode. Despite this, there is an unused banner for this episode, meaning it was intended to have an episode selection; the [[Shine Sprite]] collected after the level is counted as a Shine Sprite for [[Delfino Plaza]].
| |

| {{Sunshine episodes table

| ==Trivia== | | ==Trivia== |
| *The entrance to the mountain was once covered in grass in [[list of Super Mario Sunshine pre-release and unused content|pre-release]] versions of the plaza. | | *If [[Mario]] looks at the paths and platforms, he can see that there may have been a hallway along the level. |
| *This is the only place that can be seen from everywhere in [[Isle Delfino]]. | | *The entrance of to the mountain was once covered in grass in [[Beta]] versions of the Plaza. |
| *This course, like the [[Blooper Racer]] course in [[Blooper Surfing Safari|Episode 2]] of [[Ricco Harbor]], has an unseen sky dome shared with the secret courses. | | *In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', Corona Mountain is the only place that can be seen from anywhere in [[Isle Delfino]]. |
| *While Mario would normally die the second he touches the lava, if Mario has been hit by something and is under invincibility frames, he can land on the lava and swim under and on it as if it were regular water. Not only that, but he can also drown in lava if he stays under too long, much like water. However, if Mario resurfaces, he loses a life immediately as Mario is no longer invulnerable. | | *In the Japanese verison of ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]'', Corona Mountain appears as the third arena in [[Smash Skate]], but was renamed in other regions of the game. |
| {{Super Mario Sunshine}}
| | *Lava in Corona Mountain acts like water, as Mario "drowns" when he touches it. However, via activating invincibility frames, one could swim in lava. The air meter appears whilst lava swimming and attempting to get air, unless you have invincibility frames-- will make Mario lose a life. |
