'''Delfino Square''' is the second race course of the [[Flower Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. It is inspired by [[Delfino Plaza]] from ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''.

The race takes place in part of a plaza and the pier. The major feature of the track is the drawbridge before the end of the course connecting the pier and the plaza. The bridge rises and lowers periodically during the race. [[Pianta]]s cheer the racers in many sites along the track.

Delfino Square reappears in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' in the [[Banana Cup]], with the layout and music exactly the same, but with updated graphics.{{br|left}}

==Course layout==
[[File:Overhead Pinio Plaza.PNG|thumb|170px|left|An overhead view of Delfino Square.]]
The track will start in a straight path, leading racers to turn around a fountain. The track then runs along a narrow and bifurcated alley with some [[Item Box]]es. Once past the alley, players cross a stone bridge and reach the pier with some [[crate]]s serving as obstacles. If a racer crashes at high speed against one, this will break up, often revealing a [[Mushroom]] or a [[Banana]] peel. While the players are running around the pier through a sharp corner, a lifting bridge in the other side of the pier is covered in [[Dash Panel]]s, allowing players to gain more speed, even in midair. In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', it is possible to perform a [[trick]] while the bridge rises. The track leads the racers back to the straight street, where the finish line is found after running through a wooded green zone of the town.

Delfino Square contains two main shortcuts the player can perform. The first shortcut is located right before crossing the stone bridge. Turning off to the lawn and the tree, a racer can jump and land to a wooden dock near the pier, shaving off a few seconds. It surely works if having a [[Mushroom]] or a [[Super Star|Star]] on hand. The second  shortcut is found in the pier ahead the corner. Hidden by a pair of crates, a narrow alley covered in dirt deals racers a slight advantage over their opponent. Just as the first, the latter requires a speed booster to run efficiently over the mud. However, taking no care about the consequences, players may end up leading off to the sea when passing to the other side by excessive speed.   

In ''Mario Kart DS'', the Missions 2-1 and 3-2 take place here. In mission 2-1, the player must destroy 10 wooden crates scattered around the area of the shortcut and in 3-2 pass the 5 doors in order, whilst in reverse.

===Shortcuts===
Just before the first bridge, the player can veer to the left and use a [[Mushroom]] to jump over the water diagonally and land on the docks past the first bridge.

After passing the first bridge and making a left-hand turn, there will be a hidden passage on the right, which is past some crates.  This off-road shortcut can heavily slow down any vehicle, regardless of off-road statistics, so a [[Mushroom]] or a [[Star]] is required to get through it quickly.

'''''Mario Kart DS Websites'''''
*[[File:Flag of USA.png|20px]] "''Take a lightning-fast tour through the back streets of Delfino Square. Steer clear of loose crates, and be prepared for harrowing hair-pin turns.''"
*[[File:Flag of Europe.png|20px]] "''The Mario Kart equivalent of [[Wikipedia:Monaco|Monaco]], the Delfino Square race takes place in the picturesque streets of Isle Delfino - Mario's favourite holiday getaway.

==Tournaments==
[[File:2010-TournamentAugust1.jpg|thumb|200px|right|The '''<small>DS</small> Delfino Square''' tournament.]]
In ''Mario Kart Wii'', a tournament took place on this track. Players had to do a time trial, which added [[Goomba]]s, crates, and dead-end routes. This tournament was the first tournament of August 2010, and was later repeated as the first tournament of January 2012 and the second tournament of March 2013.

* In the DS version, if the player gets close to the [[Pianta]]s, they will make noises that will add to the music. This was removed in the Wii Version, as the Piantas will just cheer for the racers.

-'''Delfino Square''' is the second race course of the [[Flower Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. It is inspired by [[Delfino Plaza]] from ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. Similar to [[DS Luigi's Mansion|Luigi's Mansion]], the music for this course is an original composition and is not based on any soundtracks from the game it is based on. Despite ostensibly taking place on the {{wp|tropics|tropical}} [[Isle Delfino]], it appears to be in a {{wp|temperate climate|temperate}} climate, with autumn-colored {{wp|deciduous}} trees.

-The track starts with a straight road, leading racers to a turn around a fountain. The track then runs along a narrow and bifurcated alley with some [[Item Box]]es.

If a racer crashes into one at high speed, it will break up, often revealing a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]] or a [[Banana]] peel. After the players drive along the pier and around a sharp corner, there is a short straight section of road, before a lifting bridge, covered in [[Dash Panel]]s, which allows players to gain more speed, even in midair. The track then leads the racers back to the straight street, where the [[Finish Line (object)|finish line]] is found after driving through a small wooded green zone of the town.

-*'''Mission 2-1''': The player controls [[Wario]], who must crash into and destroy 10 wooden crates scattered along the pier area within 55 seconds.
-*'''Mission 3-2''': The player controls [[Bowser]], who must pass through 5 gates in the alley area within 50 seconds while driving in reverse.

-Delfino Square makes its classic course debut as the third course of the [[Banana Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. The course has received slight visual upgrades, though otherwise it has mostly remained unchanged. Buildings now have 3D textures, the shortcut that skips the stone bridge can now be accomplished without the use of an item, and the area the shortcut is located no longer appears on the map of the course. There are also more Pianta spectators. Depending on the items a player has, they can chain the jump from the first shortcut into the muddy alley of the second one. It is also now possible to perform a [[trick]] on the draw bridge as it is rising.

+After passing the first bridge and making a left-hand turn, there will be a hidden passage on the right, which is past some crates.  This off-road shortcut can heavily slow down any vehicle, regardless of off-road statistics, so a [[Mushroom]] or a [[Star]] is required to get through it quickly.
-[[List of Mario Kart Wii tournaments|August 2010's first tournament]] required players to complete a Time Trial on a version of Delfino Square with more obstacles: Many [[Goomba]]s and unbreakable crates appeared on the track. Additionally, barriers blocked off the left route in the middle of the track as well as the dirt shortcut near the dock. Players started the Time Trial with a set of [[Triple Mushrooms]]. The tournament would be the only new tournament made by Nintendo since they started repeating tournaments in May 2010, and the tournament itself was later repeated as the first tournament of January 2012 and the second tournament of March 2013.
