Dolphins are animals that wear water goggles and jump out of the water in Super Mario World. They only appear in Vanilla Secret 3 and can be used as platforms to cross the water infested with Porcu-Puffers..

A Dolphin appears in Mario Party 4 where he will let the character get on his back while the Dolphin swims through the water. The character can Jump to get Coins.

Super Mario Sunshine had an island called Isle Delfino. The island was shaped like a dolphin too.

An unamed, comedian Dolphin is met in Mario Party Advance; one of the players quests involves helping this Dolphin get his confidence back by listening to his jokes and laughing at them. Occasionally, several Dolphins will appear and form an audience to listen to this comedian Dolphin's jokes.

In Mario Party 7, some Dolphins can be seen jumping out of the water in the file select screen. Also in this game as well, if you played with 8 characters at a time, each team would get a name. One of the names for a team could be Team Dolphin.

Appearances in Other Media

In the Super Mario World animated series, Dolphins appear in the episode "Mama Luigi".

In the episode, two Dolphins, seeing that Luigi and Yoshi are being attacked by a Torpedo Ted, decide to help the two by letting them ride on their backs. Evading the Torpedo Ted, the Dolphins drop Luigi and Yoshi off at a nearby beach. After being thanked by Luigi, the two friendly Dolphins leap back into the water, cheering happily.
