| '''Nokis''' are a race of short, shelled creatures which debuted in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. Along with [[Pianta]]s, they inhabit [[Isle Delfino]]. They thrive primarily in [[Noki Bay]]; many of the Nokis that reside there rarely rise to the surface of the bay, but instead inhabit a large underwater area located directly beneath the bay's large waterfall. Keeping with the Italian name theme, "Noki" is a rough homophone of "{{wp|gnocchi}}", a type of pasta. | | The '''Noki''' are Sea People a race of short creatures with shells, first seen in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. They, along with the [[Pianta]], inhabit [[Isle Delfino]]. They thrive primarily at [[Noki Bay]]. Most of the Nokis rarely go to the rocky surface of the bay, instead inhabiting their city in the waterfall. They are the noted as the most relaxed and smart charecters in the Mario Series. |

|
| ==History==
| | The profile for Noki in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'' reveals that they evolved from shellfish. |
| ===''Super Mario Sunshine''===
| | The player will notice that most of the Nokis at [[Pinna Park]] wear clam like shells instead of hermit shells. In Episode 8 of Noki Bay, the [[Red Coin Fish]] (who is made mostly out of [[coins]]), the player see Nokis Floating on [[jellyfish]]. This implies that Nokis are capable of surviving in underwater habitats. |

| |
| The Nokis first appear in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', they inhabit [[Isle Delfino]] with the [[Pianta]]s. Their primary home on the island is [[Noki Bay]]. While they inhabit Noki Bay, the Nokis appear in other areas of Isle Delfino. Most of the Nokis seen in [[Pinna Park]] wear clam like shells instead of hermit shells. In [[The Red Coin Fish|Episode 8]] of Noki Bay, many Nokis are seen floating on [[jellyfish]], this implies that Nokis are capable of surviving in underwater habitats, with little or no air available.

|
| |
|
| Unlike Piantas, Nokis appear to be more trusting of Mario and more aware that he is not the real criminal. In Noki Bay, the [[Noki elder]] often aids [[Mario]] by instructing him on how best to go about his tasks. He also helps Mario by training him to use a deep sea helmet so that he can fight [[Eely-Mouth]] in Noki Bay, and later reap the rewards of the [[Coin Fish]]. | | Unlike the Piantas, they seem to be more trusting of Mario and more aware that he's not the real criminal.

They also appear in the ending ceremonies. A single male blue Noki also appears on one of the [[List of recurring sponsors in the Mario Kart series#Mario Racing|Mario Racing]] trackside banners in the battle course [[Delfino Pier]] in ''Mario Kart Wii''.
| |
|
| |
|
| Nokis also spectate in [[Water Park]] in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' and in {{classic-link|Wii|Coconut Mall}} in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' for the latter, where they have a slight facial redesign. Here, they have more fish-like lips and chubbier cheeks.
| | == Trivia == |
| | | *In [[Pinna Park]] the Noki playing the Conch Shell plays the first six notes of the [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' Series]] Theme Song. |
| ===''Mario Tennis'' series=== | | *In ''Mario Super Sluggers'', characters mistakenly use male pronouns for the playable female Nokis. |
| Nokis along with the Piantas appear as audience members and spectators in the [[Peach Dome]] court of ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'' and ''[[Mario Tennis: Power Tour]]''.

| |
| Nokis are playable in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'', marking the first time they become playable. The Nokis in these games are female, and come in three different colors, being blue, red, and green, each resembling a member of the [[Buckies]]. Being a Speed type character, Nokis are generally fast runners, weak batters, and their pitching and fielding range from average to weak. Their special ability is the [[Sliding Catch]]. They have good chemistry with the [[Pianta]]s and bad chemistry with [[Petey Piranha]]. The profile for Nokis reveals that they evolved from shellfish.
| |
| | |
| Nokis can also been seen as spectators at [[Mario Stadium (baseball stadium)|Mario Stadium]], especially during the opening cinematic.
| |
| | |
| ====''Mario Super Sluggers''====
| |
| Nokis reprise their role in ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'', being playable in the same three color palette as in the prequel installment. The Nokis good chemistry with the Piantas remains intact, while the bad chemistry with Petey Piranha is also a recycled feature. In this installment, Nokis also have good chemistry with Mario and Toadette, even though their friendship and interactions with both mentioned characters remain unexplored. A Noki's special ability is the [[Ball Dash]].
| |
| | |
| During the events in Challenge Mode, when Mario meets the Nokis, he arrives at Mario Stadium and both the green Noki and the blue Noki are unlocked by playing a scout mission. Red Noki is unlocked by unlocking Blue Noki and Green Noki.
| |
| | |
| Nokis can be seen as spectators at Mario Stadium, especially during the opening cinematic. In the third cinematic that plays after defeating Bowser in Challenge Mode, a Noki is briefly seen marching with Mario and the rest of the fleet towards the entrance of the [[Baseball Kingdom]], where everyone views the sunset at dusk before the lights turn on for the night.
| |
| | |
| ===''Mario Strikers'' series===
| |
| In the [[Mario Strikers (series)|''Mario Strikers'' series]], Nokis appear only as background audience members in ''[[Super Mario Strikers]]'' and its sequel, ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]''.
| |
| | |
