'''Dolphins''' are a species in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. They are goggle-wearing cetaceans serving as platforms that leap out of the water, helping [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] reach items and avoid enemies. In other ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' media, Dolphins typically appear as background elements, though they have more prominent roles throughout the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]] and a particular Dolphin even had a playable role in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]''.

Dolphins are encountered in [[Vanilla Secret 3]] and in a hidden area near the end of [[Chocolate Island 1]] in ''Super Mario World''. They are used as platforms to cross a body of water populated by [[Porcupuffer|Porcu-Puffers]]. They jump in and out of water either vertically or in parabolic arcs. In the Japanese version of ''Super Mario World'', [[Yoshi]] can eat the Dolphins. This was changed in Western versions of the original ''Super Mario World'', but was retained in all versions of ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]''. They also appear in the opening sequence of ''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2''.

In the [[Super Mario World (television series)|''Super Mario World'' television series]], Dolphins appear only in the episode "[[Mama Luigi]]". Seeing that Luigi and Yoshi are being attacked by a [[Torpedo Ted]], two Dolphins decide to help them by letting them ride on their backs. Evading the Torpedo Ted, the Dolphins drop Luigi and Yoshi off at a nearby beach. After being thanked by Luigi, the two friendly Dolphins leap back into the water, cheering happily.

Dolphins appear in the second chapter of the second volume of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'' as allies. When the [[Mekakuppa]] attacks Mario, Luigi and Yoshi at [[Vanilla Dome]], it creates a hole in the roof, flooding the dome with the water of [[Vanilla Secret 3]]. Dolphins come down with the water and offer to help the three heroes to escape by making them ride their backs and swim over the waterfall, reaching the surface. Mario then proceeds to clog the hole, trapping (briefly) the Mekakuppa in the dome and then proceeds to thank the Dolphins, along with saving them from Yoshi (who kept trying to eat them).

{{quote|Hello, ladies and germs! Enjoy the show!|Dolphin|[[Mario Party Advance]]}}
A unique [[Dolphin (character)|Dolphin]] is met in ''[[Mario Party Advance]]''; several other Dolphins also appear and form an audience to listen to his jokes.
A Dolphin is met in the [[Shroom City (Mario Party Advance)|Shroom City]] mode of ''[[Mario Party Advance]]''. When encountered at the [[Mario Vaudeville]], he glumly asks if the player could listen to his story. If accepted, he explains that he is a (self-proclaimed) good comedian, but has had difficulty to get any gigs. Because people do not laugh at his jokes, he does not have any confidence, leading him to ask if they could listen to his routine. He asks them to laugh whenever he tells a joke, in the hopes of getting someone else to watch him. After going through his routine, they end up amassing a crowd of Dolphins around him. Dolphin proudly states that he is a comic genius, thanks to the player's help, and gives them the [[Snow Globe (Gaddget)|Snow Globe]] [[Gaddget]]. He was also one of the three suspects who was around the area when [[Shroomlock]] was dragged off [[Sushi Cliff]]. When interrogated, he claimed that he was not responsible for anything, "cross [his] fins". The ending credits state that he has since become a massively popular TV star.

Dolphins, also referred to as '''Dolphin Shuttles''', play an important role in the board [[Goomba's Booty Boardwalk]] in ''[[Mario Party 8]]''. The player character can pay them a certain number of [[coin]]s depending on what place they are in, allowing them to take a ride on the Dolphin's back and advance a number of spaces.

Dolphins are board features in ''[[Mario Party 9]]''. They are encountered in [[Blooper Beach]]. On the first half of the board, a Dolphin is the first active sea creature when a party is started, being six spaces away at first. They advance two spaces every turn, and if the player lands on or catches up to the dolphin while captain, the Dolphin gives them 5 [[Mini Star]]s. Dolphins also appear when the player lands on a [[Lucky Space]] near the end of the board. Landing on one of them results in a trio of Dolphins leading the player to an island with several Mini Stars. Additionally, during the minigame [[Ring Leader]], the players ride Dolphins to jump through hoops.

Dolphins appear in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]'' as assistants. Their stage mode effect increases the player's base score for every blue [[virus]] that are eliminated. Their versus mode effect grants a chance one of the viruses that appear is transformed into an [[exploder]] when all viruses in the player's play area are eliminated. The amount of points gained and the chance of an exploder appearing are increased at higher levels, starting from 50 points and 20% respectively to 200 points and 100% respectively.

A Dolphin also appears as a playable character under the name '''Dr. Dolphin''', marking the first time a Dolphin has been playable in any ''Super Mario'' game. His skill effect is the same as [[Bowser Jr.|Dr. Bowser Jr.'s]] in that in stage mode an amount of bubbles are popped, while in versus mode viruses are covered inside bubbles. The amount of bubbles or viruses targeted are fewer than Dr. Bowser Jr.'s skill, where Dr. Dolphin's skill pops 4 bubbles (3 prior to version 2.2.0) as opposed to Dr. Bowser Jr.'s 10, while in versus mode at maximum level, Dr. Dolphin covers up to 6 viruses inside bubbles as opposed to Dr. Bowser Jr.'s maximum of 10. To compensate, his skill charges faster compared to Dr. Bowser Jr.'s.
