'''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.

==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.  
The player must also avoid [[Cheep Cheep]]s that lurk in the [[lava]], which can jump up and knock [[Mario]] into the lava. There is also an area where Mario 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.
[[File:SMS Corona Mountain Tub Battle.png|thumb|Mario fighting Bowser and Bowser Jr.]]
There are only ten [[Blue Coin]]s 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 episode of Bianco Hills]]).

====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]].

=====Blue Coins=====
In the only other [[Shine Sprite]] (other than the final boss), Mario must collect ten [[Blue Coins]], the first at a normal platform near the start of the stage, and the rest in a circular shape around the big platform where the [[Rocket Nozzle]] lays. Mario must use the mudboat to circle around the platform and be very careful as the [[lava]] is and hitting anything with the mudboat is an instant death. This is essential for completing the game.
Ten [[Blue Coin|blue coins]] are found within Corona Mountain. One is found on the stone platform in the first half of the stage, and the other nine are found above the lava in the second half.

*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.
[[File:SMScoronabanner.png|thumb|right|The unused banner for Corona Mountain.]]
*If [[Mario]] looks at the paths and platforms, he can see that there may have once been a hallway along the level.
*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.
*This is the only place that can be seen from everywhere in [[Isle Delfino]].
*This is the only place that can be seen from everywhere in [[Isle Delfino]].
*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 the Japanese version of ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]'', Corona Mountain appears as the third arena in [[Smash Skate]], but was renamed in other regions of the game.
*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.
*There is an unused episode select screen banner for Corona Mountain, suggesting that it was originally going to feature more than one episode.
*Though the player cannot see a sky in this course, it actually recycles the same sky dome for some secret courses. This also goes for the Blooper surfing course in Episode 2 of [[Ricco Harbor]].
*The volcano is clearly acting as the blowhole of the dolphin-shaped island.
