It is accessed in the northwest of [[Delfino Plaza]] via [[Warp Pipe]]. It is possible to reach the pipe with the Hover Nozzle, Turbo Nozzle, or [[Yoshi]] by jumping on the high trees leading up to the pipe, but it is easiest to get there most of the time with the Rocket Nozzle. During the temporary flood, the water level is right below the palm tree tops used to climb up to it, and as such can also be reached simply. It is impossible to refill [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]] here, as there is no source of water. As such, Mario must exit the level and retry if he runs out of water and wishes to try again.

There are eight [[Red Coin|red coin]]s to collect throughout the field, after which a [[Shine Sprite]] appears:
*One red coin is on a brown structure.
*Mario can obtain another four coins by defeating the two [[Pokey Head|Sanbo Head]]s and two [[Seedy Pod]]s that pop out of the dense grass.
**It is possible to knock the Sanbo Heads off the field, resulting in Mario being [[Unwinnable state|unable to get their red coins]] and having to redo the level.
*There is a [[Pianta]] that has caught on fire and is frantically running around the area; once Mario puts out the flames on him, he is rewarded with a red coin.
*At the top of the level, Mario can find the unique [[Bird (Super Mario Sunshine)#Red Bird|Red Bird]] only found in this minicourse. This Bird drops a red coin when doused enough with FLUDD.
*There is a [[watermelon block]] placed next to a square hole near the edge of the field. [[Ground Pound]]ing it or simply jumping into the hole results in discovering a secret alcove in the field where the last red coin resides.

The game crashes if 100 coins are collected, as no spawn point for the 100 coin Shine Sprite exists in that version's map. It is possible to collect 100 coins in the Red Coin Field by collecting 96 to 99 coins in Delfino Plaza before entering the secret level, and then entering the Red Coin Field and collecting coins from one of the two [[Pokey Head|Sanbo Head]]s after spraying it into a wall. Spraying it into a wall makes it produce two yellow coins alongside one red coin; merely stomping on it makes it only produce one red coin. It is not possible to collect this many coins in international versions.

==Trivia==
*There is a stationary flame in one of the pits the level that can be put out if Mario sprays it with water. Doing so is difficult, as Mario has to spray the base of the flame which is in a small pit. Despite this, the flame serves no real purpose and does not hide anything.
*The level contains an object that can be jumped and moved, but is represented by no visible models.<ref>{{cite|author=SupperMarioBroth|date=May 5, 2021|language=en|url=www.suppermariobroth.com/post/650377615433154560/inside-the-grass-field-bonus-area-in-super-mario|publisher=Supper Mario Broth|accessdate=June 3, 2024|title=Inside the “grass field” bonus area in Super Mario Sunshine (accessed via a Warp Pipe on the cliff on the west side of Delfino Plaza), there is an invisible object that causes Mario to bounce on it. Not only is it invisible, it is also movable; by walking into it from the side, it will shift into that direction, making it very easy to lose track of due to being invisible. As it is the only object in the game with these properties, this is possibly a remnant of an object that was in an earlier version of the game, but was made invisible during development on accident by having its model deleted.}}</ref>
