Delfino Airstrip is the first area encountered in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', and is the place where [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]] is encountered as well as where the first [[Shine Sprite]] is encountered. It cannot be revisited until after the player gains access to [[Corona Mountain]]. After entering the mountain (it is not necessary to complete it; the player may simply pause the game and select "Exit Area" to leave), the player can pay ten [[coin]]s to a [[Pianta]] at [[Delfino Plaza]] to ride a boat to the airstrip.

Leaving the plane, the characters find [[Graffiti|goop]] in the shape of Mario's face. Toadsworth will tell Mario to find some assistance as Peach notices [[Shadow Mario]] nearby. Finding [[F.L.U.D.D.]] on the opposite end of the airstrip, the player has to defeat the [[Polluted Piranha]] in the center by spraying it when its mouth is open. Spraying it three times will defeat it, revealing the [[Shine Sprite]] and returning the airstrip to normal. Afterwards, Mario will be taken to a trial, with the [[Pianta]]s blaming Mario for vandalizing their island.
