'''Isle Delfino''' is a tropical paradise island and vacational resort inhabited by [[Pianta]]s, [[Noki]]s, [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s, [[Sunflower Kid]]s, and [[Tanooki]]s. Alongside the smaller [[Pinna Park|Pinna Island]], it looks like a dolphin, as indicated by its name, which means "dolphin" in Italian, and is a direct reference to the [[GameCube]]'s preproduction codename, Project Dolphin. Isle Delfino is the main setting of ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', and has since reappeared in many spin-offs, including the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]].

[[Mario]], [[Princess Peach|Peach]], [[Toadsworth]] and some [[Toad (species)|Toads]] take a trip to Isle Delfino in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. However, the island had been covered in graffiti by the mysterious [[Shadow Mario]], who the people think is Mario. With the help of the water pack [[F.L.U.D.D.]], Mario is forced to get rid of all the paint on the island and clear his name by defeating the imposter that has been causing trouble. Shadow Mario turns out to be [[Bowser Jr.]], who soon kidnaps Peach, but after Mario defeats him and his father, [[Bowser]], life on the island returns to normal and Mario, Peach and their friends enjoy the rest of their stay on Isle Delfino.

Isle Delfino has appeared in four of the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' games with new courses and stages based on it.

In ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', a course named [[Peach Beach]] was introduced, which took place on the shore of Isle Delfino. After the [[player]] completed the Grand Prix, the award ceremony was held there. ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' featured a new course called [[Delfino Square]], which takes place in autumn instead of the usual tropical weather. In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', both these courses returned in the Retro cups, along with a new battle stage called [[Delfino Pier]], which likely takes place in the docking area of Delfino Plaza. A new track named [[Coconut Mall]] takes place on Isle Delfino. Coconut Mall then returned in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' as a Retro track.

Locations on Isle Delfino are shown in a couple of ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' [[minigame]]s. ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'' includes both the [[Delfino Plaza Court]] and the [[Gooper Blooper Court]], which is set in [[Ricco Harbor]]. Delfino Plaza is also one of the boards in ''[[Itadaki Street DS]]'' and ''[[Fortune Street]]''. Isle Delfino are one of the courses in ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'' and ''[[Mario Golf: Advance Tour]]'', which resembles [[Gelato Beach]] and [[Bianco Hills]]. It is also one of the stages in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.

Like in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], Isle Delfino uses [[Gold Coins]] as currency. However, Isle Delfino may also use [[Blue Coins|Blue]] and [[Red Coins]] as well.

*In the English version of ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', the places found on Isle Delfino are named partly in English and partly in Italian. In other translations of the game, the names of these places are completely in Italian.  

*[[Starshine Beach Galaxy]] from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' widely resembles Isle Delfino. The galaxy is slightly shaped like a dolphin, much like Isle Delfino.

*In the introductory cutscene of ''Super Mario Sunshine'', the player can see other islands surrounding Isle Delfino, which are shaped like a sting ray (west), a crab (southwest), a small fish (south), a sea turtle (east), and a jellyfish (northeast). These islands cannot be visited in the game, and it is therefore unknown whether or not any of them actually have official names.

*In ''Super Mario Sunshine'', all of Isle Delfino (except for [[Noki Bay]]) is in a constant heatwave.

*In ''Super Mario Sunshine'', [[Toad (species)|Blue Toad]] mentions that [[Yoshi]]s lived on the island a long time ago.

*Many of the locations on Isle Delfino can be clearly seen from some of the other locations on the island, with the exception of Noki Bay, which remains virtually hidden from the rest of the island, though a small glimpse of it can be seen from the top of the large palm tree in the center of [[Pianta Village]].
