The '''Delfino Emergency Broadcast System''', acronymized as '''D.E.B.S.''', is [[Isle Delfino]]'s instant news and warning system. It provides the island's inhabitants with notifications about various happenings around the island, including current events and recent disasters. While it usually provides the player with helpful hints, these hints are often very subtle; for instance, the [[goop]] covering the [[Grand Pianta Statue]] at the beginning of ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' is hinted at with an alert saying that "...several people have gone missing near the Grand Pianta statue...," referring to the fact that many of the [[Pianta]]s and [[Noki]]s in [[Bianco Square]] have been buried under the goop.

In ''Super Mario Sunshine'', the Delfino Emergency Broadcast System appears exclusively in [[Delfino Plaza]] as scrolling white text on a translucent black background on the bottom of the screen, following a four-note chime. It also appears in ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'' during the minigame [[Tic-Tac-Glow]] as one of the game's generic advice messages, labeled "D.E.B.S." (in a different font from the [[List of fonts#Pop Happiness|Pop Happiness]] font used in ''Super Mario Sunshine''). In both appearances, it works similarly to a news ticket.

==Trivia==
*The system's English name is very similar to that of the {{Wp|Emergency Broadcast System}}, the previous emergency warning system of the United States that was succeeded by the Emergency Alert System in 1997. As with D.E.B.S., the Emergency Broadcast System was often used to alert citizens of disasters or other threats occurring in affected areas.
