'''Il Piantissimo''' is a human disguised as a [[Pianta]] that [[Mario]] must footrace for three [[Shine Sprite]]s in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. He takes the role of [[Koopa the Quick]] from ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. | |||
Il Piantissimo's | Il Piantissimo is raced in [[Gelato Beach]]'s fifth episode, "[[Il Piantissimo's Sand Sprint]]", [[Noki Bay]]'s fifth episode, "[[Il Piantissimo's Surf Swim]]", and [[Pianta Village]]'s second episode, "[[Il Piantissimo's Crazy Climb]]". He can use most of Mario's moves, but cannot use any tactics involving [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]]. If Il Piantissimo reaches the flag first, Mario loses a life. When replaying a completed episode, Il Piantissimo is more difficult to beat, as he finishes the course slightly over the player's previous time.<ref>Cross-reference [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVuPYSFp1ig&t=15s this video] with [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dh3e5rZuSgg&t=33s this video]</ref> | ||
Il Piantissimo is very confident and considers himself superior to others. Various locals at Pianta Village regard him as a rogue, a creep, and not related to the Piantas. | |||
{{ | |||
| | His name is possibly a portmanteau of "Pianta" and "-issimo" ("-est" or "very"), or specifically "pianissimo" (very soft), a {{wp|Dynamics (music)|dynamic marking}} in sheet music. The word "il" is an Italian definite article equivalent to "the". | ||
| | |||
If the game is beaten without all 120 Shine Sprites collected, the ending screen shows Il Piantissimo finding [[Bowser Jr.]]'s [[Magic Paintbrush]] on [[Gelato Beach]]. | |||
