He is the only Pianta who wears shoes. Hotel Delfino comes under attack during [[The Manta Storm]] episode when [[Phantamanta]] engulfs Sirena Beach in [[electric goop]], covering the hotel and plunging it underground.  The manager orders his staff to begin cleaning up the mess, but he also convinces Mario to aid him. Once Mario has cleared the beach and the hotel of the goop, the hotel reemerges and a [[Shine Sprite]] pops out.  Throughout the remaining [[mission|episodes]], the hotel manager encounters a number of other issues, ranging from [[Boo]]s haunting various parts of Hotel Delfino to [[Shadow Mario]] terrorizing the guests and vandalizing the hotel; he requests Mario's aid in solving each of these problems. The manager is not always forthcoming, sometimes requesting Mario's help in indirect or roundabout ways, but he is nonetheless always appreciative of Mario's assistance. 

In the ''Versus Books'' guide, the hotel manager is seemingly erroneously referred to as the '''Mayor''',<ref>{{cite|author=Loe, Casey|title=''Super Mario Sunshine'' Perfect Guide|page=78|language=en-us|date=August 12, 2002|publisher=Versus Books|isbn=1-931886-09-1}}</ref> a position held by a [[Pianta mayor|different character]] in [[Pianta Village]].<ref>{{cite|author=Loe, Casey|title=''Super Mario Sunshine'' Perfect Guide|page=101|language=en-us|date=August 12, 2002|publisher=Versus Books|isbn=1-931886-09-1}}</ref><ref>{{cite|author=Bogenn, Tim, and Doug Walsh|title=''Super Mario Sunshine'' Official Strategy Guide|page=128|publisher=BradyGAMES|language=en-us|isbn=0-7440-0180-3|date=2002}}</ref>

In the Super Mario Mash-up in ''[[Minecraft]]'', Blacksmith [[minecraftwiki:Villager|Villagers]] are reskinned to share the appearance of the hotel manager.
