- “Well, this place just gets more and more lively every day!!”
- —Pianta, Super Mario Sunshine
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 Sprites 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, a court called Gooper Blooper Court is set in Ricco Harbor.
Layout
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 2 and 6, there is a pier to the right where the Big Daddy of Blooper-surfing lets Mario use his Blooper Racers. 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 Swoopin' Stus. 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 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.
The large port has several buildings along the hillside, though Mario can't enter any of them. During certain episodes, Bloopers can be found sliding across the ground. Near the houses is the Fruit Vap, a large fruit-dispensing machine; by Ground Pounding the large buttons on top, a random fruit will drop out. Beyond the fruit machine is a plaza where Gooper Blooper is fought during the first episode or a large market with a Yoshi Egg is found during later episodes. To the right of the plaza is a tall helipad the player can reach by using the Rocket Nozzle found underneath it.
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 
, large cranes that will carry the player across gaps, moving platforms, and trampolines.
