The '''Grand Pianta Statue''', or '''Great Pianta Statue'''<ref>Loe, Casey. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Perfect Guide. Page 21.</ref><ref>Averill, Alan, and Jennifer Villarreal. The ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Player's Guide. Page 20.</ref>, is a large statue of a [[Pianta]] on a pedestal, located directly in the middle of [[Bianco Square]] in [[Delfino Plaza]]. It appears during the game ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. When [[Mario]] first arrives at Delfino Plaza, the statue will be buried under all the brown [[goop]]. After Mario and [[F.L.U.D.D.]] defeat the [[Proto Piranha|Gatekeeper]], all the goop will disappear, making the Grand Pianta Statue appear. However, when it appears, [[Shadow Mario]] will be on top of it. Shadow Mario jumps off the statue, runs up to [[Princess Peach]] and kidnaps her. After Mario chases Shadow Mario and gets Peach back, Shadow Mario paints a [[Goop#Rainbow M|Rainbow M]] on the statue, which leads to [[Bianco Hills]].

The Grand Pianta Statue also appears in [[Peach Beach]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' and in the background of [[Delfino Square]] in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' (as well as [[DS Delfino Square]] in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''). The statue is present in the [[Delfino Plaza Court]] in [[Mario Power Tennis]], right in front overlooking the court. In the [[Delfino Plaza (stage)|Delfino Plaza]] stage in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series, the Grand Pianta Statue has been removed, despite battles not actually taking place in the statue's direct area.

The Grand Pianta Statue also appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' in the [[Starshine Beach Galaxy]], a galaxy based on elements from ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. This statue does not look exactly like the one in [[Delfino Plaza]] though. For example, this statue does not have a cloak.

*The statue is also seen in the ''Super Mario Sunshine'' end credits; in the last photo Mario and Peach are posing in front of the statue.
