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 played as get on his back while he swims through the water. The character can Jump to get Coins this Dolphin swims by on the trip.
An unnamed, comedian Dolphin is met in Mario Party Advance; one of the player's 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 of 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.
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.
Trivia
- Dolphins somewhat resemble Dorries, especially those post-Super Mario 64 DS, as they all too wore goggles.
- In the Japanese version of Super Mario World and Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World, Yoshi can eat Dolphins, although he can't in the American, Super Nintendo version of Super Mario World.
- A working name for the Nintendo GameCube was "Project Dolphin"; the strange and unused name resulted in many Dolphin references in various games. Mario examples of this include the fact that Isle Delfino (the setting of Super Mario Sunshine) is both Dolphin-shaped, and Dolphin-themed and the possible name "Team Dolphin" given in Mario Party 7. However, these references are technically given to the dolphins of Earth rather than their Mario answers.
