'''Delfino Plaza''' is the main hub of [[Isle Delfino]], lying at the nose of the dolphin-shaped island, first appearing in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. It is located at the foot of [[Corona Mountain]] and is named for the island it is located on. It is inhabited by [[Pianta]]s and [[Raccoon]]s.

Delfino Plaza is the central location on [[Isle Delfino]] where [[Mario]], [[Princess Peach|Peach]], and the [[Toad]]s go to enjoy their vacation in ''Super Mario Sunshine''. It is the largest settlement in the game and features a few landmarks, including the [[Shine Gate]] and the [[Grand Pianta Statue]]. It also houses a lighthouse, a [[Boathouse]], and multiple small fruit stands. The [[Pianta]]s that inhabit Delfino Plaza rely heavily on the presence of the many [[Shine Sprite]]s as a source of safety and comfort. However, after [[Shadow Mario]] polluted the island with toxic [[goop|graffiti]], the Shine Sprites fled, casting Delfino Plaza into darkness. The island's inhabitants subsequently blamed Mario for the mess, and therefore tasked him with the cleaning of the entire island. After Mario chases and defeats Shadow Mario in Episode 7 of every level, Shadow Mario releases boiling water from [[Corona Mountain]], flooding Delfino Plaza and forcing the citizens to retreat to their rooftops for safety. In addition, there is a large sewer system built directly under the town, which contains many [[coin]]s, [[Blue Coin|blue coin]]s, and [[1-Up Mushroom]]s.

Delfino Plaza also serves as the hub world of the game, as all seven main levels can be accessed from here, and Mario will return to the plaza after exiting a level as well. [[Bianco Hills]], [[Ricco Harbor]], and [[Gelato Beach]] can all be accessed via the [[Goop#Rainbow M|Rainbow M]] portals that are located on the Grand Pianta Statue, the Boathouse, and the lighthouse respectively. [[Pinna Park]] can be accessed via a [[cannon]] on the west side of Delfino Plaza, and [[Noki Bay]] can be entered by staring at the sun while standing on a picture of a Shine Sprite in the port. [[Sirena Beach]] and [[Pianta Village]] are both accessed by means of red [[Warp Pipe]]s, which are located on a local rooftop and the Shine Gate respectively. Once unlocked, Corona Mountain can be entered via a small cave directly behind the Shine Gate. After Corona Mountain is accessed at least once, even if [[Bowser]] has not yet been defeated, a boat will appear near the Boathouse, which will take Mario back to [[Delfino Airstrip]] for a 10-coin fare. As more Shine Sprites are collected, different events will play out and the plaza will keep on getting brighter until they are all collected or Bowser is defeated.

===''Mario Party 6''===

In ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', Delfino Plaza serves as the setting for the [[Donkey Kong]] minigame [[Banana Shake]]. Additionally, a pier resembling the one near the entrance to [[Noki Bay]] (though with a [[Super Star|Star]] in the floor design instead of a [[Shine Sprite]] and no fountain) appears in [[Pier Factor]].

 

===''Fortune Street'' series===

[[File:DelfinoplazaDS.png|thumb|200px|Delfino Plaza in ''Itadaki Street DS''.]]

Delfino Plaza makes appearances in both ''[[Itadaki Street DS]]'' and ''[[Fortune Street]]''. It looks identical to its appearance in ''Super Mario Sunshine''.

Delfino Plaza appears as a stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. It takes place mostly in the skies of Delfino Plaza, on a set of floating platforms. The platforms frequently land in different areas of the Plaza, changing the stage layout of the fight. For example, the platform may land in front of where the [[Grand Pianta Statue]] is. The platforms soon appear again and take the fighters to a different area.

===''Super Mario Sunshine''===

[[File:Delfino Plaza.png|thumb|Guide Book information from ''Super Mario Sunshine'']]

*'''[[Guide Book]]:''' ''Tourists get off the ferries here, in Isle Delfino's largest city. Attractions include the Shine Gate and Grand Pianta Statue.''

 

The music and theme of Delfino Plaza invokes Italian folk music. The melody alternates between guitar and accordion, while another guitar provides rhythm and an upright bass adds the {{wp|pizzicato}} bassline. The melodies from Ricco Harbor, Gelato Beach, Bianco Hills, and The Staff Roll are all arrangements of Delfino Plaza's melody and are all written by [[Koji Kondo]].

 

*Part of Delfino Plaza's music plays during the Awards Ceremony in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''

*An arrangement of Delfino Plaza's music plays as the music for [[Sunshine Isles]] in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''.
