The '''Delfino Airstrip''' is a seaside location where tourists first come to when visiting [[Isle Delfino]] by plane. It is a simple landing strip built on small islets in the waters near [[Delfino Plaza]]. Travelers can reach the mainland via small boats.

===Episode 1: Delfino Airstrip Dilemma===
After arriving at Delfino Airstrip, Mario finds F.L.U.U.D and the others find a Polluted Piranha Plant, forcing Mario to spray and kill the Polluted Piranha Plant, revealing the first shine sprite in the game.
===Episode 2: Red Coins of the Airstrip===
After returning later in the game to the Airstrip, Mario must get 8 red coins by using the Turbo Nozzle, revealing a Shine Sprite.

{{main|Delfino Airstrip Dilemma}}
[[File:Delfino Airstrip Goop.png|thumb|left|The Goop encountered at the airstrip.]]
Delfino Airstrip is the first area encountered in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', and is the place where [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]] is encountered as well as where the first [[Shine Sprite]] is encountered. It cannot be revisited until after the player gains access to [[Corona Mountain]]. After entering the mountain (it is not necessary to complete it; the player may simply pause the game and select "Exit Area" to leave), the player can pay ten [[coin]]s to a [[Pianta]] at [[Delfino Plaza]] to ride a boat to the airstrip.
When [[Mario]], [[Princess Peach]], and [[Toadsworth]] landed here, [[Toad Express|the plane]] almost crashed since [[Graffiti|Goop]] was smack in the middle of the airstrip. When Toadsworth asked Mario to gather information about the situation, he instead found [[F.L.U.D.D.]], who proved to be invaluable in getting rid of the Goop. Peach also sees [[Shadow Mario]] at the airstrip. Mario and F.L.U.D.D. then started squirting the Goop until all that was left was the center, which couldn't be cleaned away as easily. Out came a huge [[Polluted Piranha Plant]], which Mario had to defeat by squirting into its open mouth three times with F.L.U.D.D. When the plant was beaten, all the Goop cleared away, the shining center platform rose, and out came a [[Shine Sprite]].

It wasn't until Mario defeated [[Bowser]] and [[Bowser Jr.]] that he would have come back to the Airstrip. There he would collect [[Red Coin]]s and earn another Shine Sprite. Also, when he came back to the Airstrip it was inhabited with [[Strollin' Stu]]s. Alternatively, it is possible for Mario to visit the Airstrip before defeating Bowser - the player simply has to enter [[Corona Mountain]] and leave again, and the boat to the Airstrip will be available. To get on the boat, a [[Pianta]] will ask the player to pay him ten [[Coin]]s, or else he can't ride on the boat to the Airstrip.

!Episode
Delfino Airstrip only makes a tiny cameo in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' in the background of the [[Delfino Plaza]] stage. Surprisingly enough, the airstrip's model seems to be largely simplified from its appearance in ''Super Mario Sunshine'', in that it simply looks like a floating block in the ocean.

====Nozzles====
==Nozzle Locations==
The nozzle boxes do not appear during the first visit.
[[Nozzle Box|Nozzle Boxes]] appear during Mario's second visit. Apparently, the Rocket Nozzle doesn't appear anywhere on the airstrip. If desired, the player is able to take any nozzle from Delfino Plaza to the Airstrip.

===Turbo Nozzle===
Delfino Airstrip only makes a small background appearance in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros. series]]'' in the [[Delfino Plaza (stage)|Delfino Plaza]] stage, which appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. The airstrip's model seems to be largely simplified from its appearance in ''Super Mario Sunshine'', in that it simply looks like a floating block in the ocean.

The "Delfino Airstrip" theme is an elongated arrangement of the "[[Underground Theme]]" from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' played on strings and piano backed by tropical percussion. When the player returns to the airstrip, "[[Isle Delfino (theme)|Isle Delfino]]" plays instead.

==Notes==
*After completing the game and going back to the airstrip, the [[guidebook]] will erroneously display Mario's location as being in Delfino Plaza. The airstrip is considered a submap of the plaza because its 100 Coin Shine is also the same as the 100-Coin Shine for Delfino Plaza. The [[Blue Coin]] on the airstrip is also counted as part of Delfino Plaza's Blue Coin count.
*Through an elaborate glitch, it is possible for Mario to have the Turbo Nozzle when playing Delfino Airstrip for the first time. If he attempts to bust down the wooden doors this way, the game crashes.<ref>"{{cite|author=BeaverThingify|date=May 14, 2017|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dkCgQxVpxw|title=Breaking a Door Crashes Super Mario Sunshine|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=July 11, 2023}}</ref>

==Trivia==
*After beating the game and going back to the airstrip, as a glitch the [[Guide Book]] will display Mario's location as being in Delfino Plaza.
*The music heard the first time the player is in the airstrip is a mysterious remix of the original 'Underground BGM' music from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''. When the player returns to the airstrip, the Delfino Plaza music plays instead.
*The Goop in the center of the airstrip is in the shape of [[Mario's face]]. One can make out the [[mustache]] and the hat with the signature "M" on it. (See above)
