'''Ricco Harbor''' is a trading port in [[Isle Delfino]] in the game ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. [[Mario]] can access Ricco Harbor after he has three [[Shine Sprite]]s and defeats the [[Polluted Piranha]] that devoured the [[Boathouse]]. Its name "Ricco" is Italian for "rich", so the name translates to "Rich Harbor".

 

In ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'', Ricco Harbor is a court which has a gimmick that involves changing the size of the court via hitting panels.

The player starts in a small port area with some storage sheds. One of the [[Manhole]] entrances is in this area as is a box with a [[Turbo Nozzle]]. During Episodes [[Blooper Surfing Safari|3]] and [[Red Coins on the Water|6]], there is a pier to the right where [[Big Daddy]] lets Mario use his [[Blooper Racer]]s. Around the port are two large boats the player can use to reach other areas of the level.

The boat directly ahead of the player's starting position leads to the large port. The boat itself has a fenced off deck that holds a few [[Gooble]]s. The player can take one of two ways to reach the port: By simply jumping of the left side of the ship, the player will be in a lower area with many crates and the large Ricco Tower. By using a Manhole here, the player can reach the upper ledge and into the port. Another way is to use a swinging grate platform off the right of the ship. The grate will bring the player to two other platforms with an arrow on them, pointing toward the helipad ahead. During [[Gooper Blooper Breaks Out|Episode 1]], a large chain-link box maze will be available to help the player across the platforms. After the arrow platforms is another swinging platform that will lead to a [[Pianta]] that is capable of throwing the player, the distance of the throw depends on the episode number, with later episodes having the Pianta throw Mario farther. To the left of this platform is a submerged submarine, which the player can surface by spraying the wheel above them. Crossing the submarine will lead to a rising platform the player can use to reach the port.<br>

The boat to the right of the player's staring position will lead to a large obstacle course-like group of beams and platforms positioned over the level. The only time the player really needs to climb these platforms is during Episode 3: [[The Caged Shine Sprite]]. The platforms are made up of chain-link fences the player can climb and panels to flip around using {{button|GCN|B}}, large cranes that will carry the player across gaps, moving platforms, and trampolines.

|This episode's objective is to defeat [[Gooper Blooper]] at the port.

==Ships==

The array of ships in Ricco Harbor changes as the episodes go by. The ships range from small motor boats to [[wikipedia:Handysize|Handysize]] ships and a Submarine. The number of ships changes from only three in Episode 1 to over a dozen in Episode 6. However, four ships always are in port:

*A Handysize container ship directly in front of the starting point. It is red and black, and appears to be under repair, as there is caging around it that resembles a dry dock.  

*Another Handysize ship, it is located to the right of the starting point. This ship appears to be a bulk carrier, because it has its own crane, and it has several steel beams and pipes as its cargo. It is blue and white.

*A very small yellow submarine ([[wikipedia:Yellow Submarine (song)|a possible reference to the Beatles]]) that is anchored in the middle of the port. This submarine is totally submerged in the first level, and the player can earn a [[Blue Coin]] for raising it completely. [[Hero]] may be its captain.

*A small size cruise ship type of recreational Yacht between in the middle of entrance to the port.
