| | '''Isle Delfino''' is an island shaped like a dolphin where [[Pianta]]s, [[Noki]]s, [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s and [[Tanooki]]s live. [[Mario]], [[Peach]], [[Toadsworth]] and some [[Toad (species)|Toads]] take a trip to this island in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. |
| '''Isle Delfino''' is a tropical paradise island and vacation resort inhabited by [[Pianta]]s, [[Noki]]s, [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s, [[Sunflower Kid]]s, and [[Raccoon]]s. Alongside the smaller [[Pinna Park|Pinna Island]], it resembles a dolphin, as indicated by its name, which means "dolphin" in Italian. This is a reference to the [[Nintendo GameCube]]'s preproduction code name, 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]]. | | |
| | However during the game, the island is full of graffiti made by [[Shadow Mario]] who the people think is Mario. Mario, with the help of the water pack [[FLUDD]], is forced to get rid of all the paint on the island. |
|
| |
|
| 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 small glimpses of it can be seen from the tops of some of the large palm trees in Pianta Village.
| | == Other Appearances == |
| ==History== | | Isle Delfino appeared again in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. The award ceremony was held there, and the [[Peach Beach]] course also took place on its shores. [[Delfino Plaza]] is a race course in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', though instead of the usual tropical weather, it's Autumn. In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', both these courses returned in the Retro cups. A new battle stage called Delfino Pier takes place in the docking area of Delfino Plaza. Also, a new track called [[Coconut Mall]] most likely takes place on Isle Delfino. Piantas are everywhere, the owner of the mall is a Yellow Pianta, and there's a store called Delfino Dream. The beta version of the track was called Delfino's Mall. |

| |
| ===''Super Mario Sunshine''===
| |
| [[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.|FLUDD]], 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. | |
|
| |
|
| ===''Mario Kart'' series===
| | In later ''[[Mario Party]]'' games, mostly ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', various locations in Isle Delfino, mostly [[Delfino Plaza]], appeared in the background of [[mini-game]]s. |
| Isle Delfino has appeared in five of the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' games with new courses and stages based on it. | |
|
| |
|
| In ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', [[Peach Beach]] takes place on Isle Delfino. After the player completed the Grand Prix, the award ceremony was held there. ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' features [[Delfino Square]], which takes place in autumn instead of the usual tropical weather. In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', both Peach Beach and Delfino Square 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. Additionally, [[Coconut Mall]] takes place on Isle Delfino, and returns in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' as a [[classic course]], as well as in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as part of the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]''. ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' also features [[Sunshine Airport]], an airport located on Isle Delfino.
| | Delfino Plaza also appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as a fighting stage. |
|
| |
|
| ===Other games=== | | == Economy == |
| 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]].
| | Like in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], Isle Delfino uses [[Gold Coin]]s as their money. However Isle Delfino also uses [[Blue Coin|blue colored coins]] as currency. Also Isle Delfino might even use [[Red Coin]]s as its money. |
|
| |
|
| Delfino Plaza is also one of the boards in ''[[Itadaki Street DS]]'' and ''[[Fortune Street]]''. It is also one of the stages in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. | | == Locations == |

| [[File:Sunshine Sign Benvenuto.png|thumb|The "Benvenuto!" sign]]
| |
| Isle Delfino is heavily associated with the Italian language. In ''Super Mario Sunshine'', all locations on the island are named partially in Italian (entirely in Italian in the German version of the game), and signs reading "BENVENUTO!" can be seen in [[Delfino Plaza]].
| |
| | |
| In addition to English and Italian text, several signs on Isle Delfino are written in a unique spiraling script that is a cipher for the {{wp|Latin alphabet}}.<ref>{{cite|author=2CPhoenix|date=February 1, 2024|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1CNpu4fguI|title=Mario Sunshine’s Mysterious Text|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=February 12, 2024}}</ref>

| [[File:Flight to Delfino Island.png|thumb|Isle Delfino and the other islands surrounding it.]] | | [[Image:delfino islands.JPG|thumb|left|Isle Delfino and surrounding islands.]] |
| [[File:Super-Mario-Odyssey-Map.jpg|thumb|left|Isle Delfino on a promotional map for ''Super Mario Odyssey'' (lower left).]] | | *Isle Delfino is called Delfino because it is shaped like a Dolphin, and it is probably shaped like this because the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube's]] codename in development was Dolphin. |
| *[[Starshine Beach Galaxy]] from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' resembles Isle Delfino. | | *The locations in Isle Delfino are in named in the Italian language. |
| *In the introductory cutscene of ''Super Mario Sunshine'', the player can see other islands surrounding Isle Delfino, which are shaped like an ocean sunfish (northwest), a sting ray (west), a crab (southwest), a small fish (south), a sea turtle (east), and a jellyfish (northeast). In this cutscene it is also implied that Isle Delfino is directly on the equator of the planet, as indicated by the red line. | | *In the intro of the game, the player can see other islands surrounding Isle Delfino, three of which are shaped like a crab, jellyfish and sea turtle, respectively. These islands have never appeared in any other game. |
| *Although Isle Delfino appeared on a promotional world map prior to ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''{{'}}s release, it does not appear in the final game. | | *Isle Delfino, as a whole, was shortened into minor sections of [[Peach Beach]]. |
