{{quote|Bianco Hills is a rather interesting place, huh? We have falling goop and all sorts of other oddities!|Pianta|Super Mario Sunshine}}
'''Bianco Hills''' is a hilly and picturesque countryside region in the center of [[Isle Delfino]] and northwest of [[Delfino Plaza]], appearing in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. It can be entered via the [[Goop#Rainbow M|Rainbow M]] on the base of the [[Grand Pianta Statue]] in Delfino Plaza's [[Bianco Square]] once the player defeats [[Shadow Mario]] for the first time. The word "bianco" in its name is Italian for white, probably in reference to the white colored houses, walls, and roads found in the area.


'''Bianco Hills''' is a hilly, countryside region in the center of [[Isle Delfino]], found northwest of [[Delfino Plaza]], and it can be entered through the Pianta Statue in Delfino Plaza, once the player has collected at least one [[Shine Sprite]]. It consists of the Windmill Village inhabited by [[Pianta]]s, the upper hilly area, and a large lake. The centerpiece of this area is the very large windmill, which is located at the end of the lake. During [[Mario]]'s travels to Isle Delfino, much of Bianco Hills was, like other regions of Isle Delfino, covered in [[Goop]]. Of course, Mario got rid of the nasty graffiti with [[F.L.U.D.D]]. Bianco Hills is where Mario also first battled the infamous [[Petey Piranha]] – first they battle inside of the windmill, the next time they fight in the village. The name Bianco Hills contains the term "bianco" which is Italian for "white". The name od the level can be translated to "White Hills" like that, which probably is a reference to the white colored houses, walls, and roads found in the level.
In ''[[Mario Golf: Advance Tour]]'', some of the [[Mushroom Course]] holes are very similar, and seem to be based on this area.
==Layout==
Bianco Hills consists of the Windmill Village inhabited by [[Pianta]]s, the upper hilly area, and a large lake. In the center of Bianco Hills lies the [[Big Windmill]], which is located at the end of the lake.  


The musical theme of Bianco Hills is similar to those of [[Gelato Beach]] and [[Ricco Harbor]]. However, it is in the style of European folk music, with prominent use of clarinet, flute, and oboe, accompanied by tambourine, castanets, and harp.
[[Mario]] will start on a cliff overlooking Delfino Plaza, [[Ricco Harbor]], and [[Pinna Park]], which he can view by turning around, but cannot jump down and reach due to an invisible wall. If [[Yoshi]] is rescued, he will appear in his egg here in [[The Red Coins of the Lake|Episode 8]]. Moving forward from the start, Mario will proceed up a sloped area with a brick path and three Piantas and then down the other side of the slope which is continuously being sprayed with water, which will refill [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]] and the player can [[dive|slide]] down. The path will end at a river with a log in it the player can use to get across.
 
Beyond the river is the Windmill Village area filled with many buildings and windmills strung together with [[rope]]s. Several Piantas are seen walking around the village, and the red female and the brown male ones in the back are [[chuckster]]s capable of throwing Mario upward. Around the village are several [[Pokey Head|Pokey Pod]]s, many of which are hiding in rings of [[Flower (environmental object)|flowers]] that will release coins if sprayed in a relatively short period of time. There are several [[Poink]]s to the left of the village in some episodes. By using the walls or ropes, Mario can climb onto the top of the houses; one of which has a large platform on top of it that can be turned by spraying the sail with FLUDD. During [[Petey Piranha Strikes Back|Episode 5]], [[Petey Piranha]] will be fought in the village after waking him up. If the [[Turbo Nozzle]] has been found in [[The Secret of the Dirty Lake|Episode 6]], its box will appear at the end of the large wall, and if the [[Rocket Nozzle]] is found during [[The Red Coins of the Lake|Episode 4]], its box will appear on one of the buildings. Along the base of the wall next to the village are several [[Strollin' Stu]]s. Behind the village is a series of terraces leading up to a high cliff. On the other end a large river can be seen below some cliffs, however this river is too high to climb out of and Mario will lose a life if he falls in. There is also a lone pillar-like mound in the middle of this cliff, in Episode 5 Petey Piranha is sleeping here and can be woken up and battled by shooting a one of the nearby Poinks at him.
 
Crossing through the wall next to the village, either through the gate (which is closed during [[Road to the Big Windmill|Episode 1]]), the large waterwheel, or by climbing over the wall entirely, will lead the player to the large lake and surrounding area. Many trees, Pokey Pods, and [[Seedy Pod]]s are found in the grassy area and the ledges to the west of the lake contain a [[Pokey]] and several platforms that lead to [[Red Coin]]s and the [[Shine Sprite]] for The Red Coins of the Lake. There are also many platforms with small windmills on them throughout the lake area, if Mario sprays them with water for a sustained period of time, a coin will spawn on top of the platform. Additionally, if Mario managed to collect 100 coins in Bianco Hills, the Shine Sprite will appear on top of the windmill platform near the top of the village wall. Following the path from the waterwheel will lead across a bridge and to the large windmill in the middle of the lake. The path to the windmill has many bends and gaps in it the player needs to jump or use the [[Hover Nozzle]] to cross, where Petey Piranha can be challenged in Episode 1 and [[Down with Petey Piranha!|Episode 2]]. Platforms underneath the bridge are strung with ropes that will lead the player to the Hillside Cave which can be entered from [[The Hillside Cave Secret|Episode 3]] onward. The lake itself has several [[Skeeter|Pondskater]]s swimming on the surface. In the back of the lake behind the big windmill is the Cliff Spring Cave, which can be entered from Episode 6 onward. Also during Episode 6, the lake is polluted, so the player needs to use lily pads to get around, but they will need to move quickly as the lily pads rot over time.

|image1=[[File:RoadtotheBigWindmill.png|200px]]
:The first Episode of this level begins with an introduction scene, which shows [[Shadow Mario]] standing near the bridge to the windmill, next to a [[Goop Generator]]. Large parts of the countryside are covered in thick brown goop and only the Windmill Village is relatively free of it, although there are some small blobs that generate [[Strollin' Stu]]s. Due to the masses of paint outside of the village, the gate that links the village area and the lakeside area has been closed and Mario has to use a passage over the waterwheel to get to his destination. The lakeside area has some [[Piranhabon]]s that keep rolling over the terrain, leaving a trail of goop behind. Mario has to battle a [[Piranha Plant in the Generator|Piranha Plant made of goop]] to proceed. After the battle, a hill with a path emerges and connects to the bridge above. Mario can collect the [[Shine Sprite]] then. However, the player can choose to ignore the Shine Sprite and proceed to climb the windmill, making this the only episode in the entire game that can be skipped.

===Fruits===
These fruits appear only in Episode 8:


===Episode 2: Down With Petey Piranha===
*'''[[Durian]]'''
[[Image:Down_With_Petey_Piranha.PNG|thumb|]]
**Past the gate, on the southern side of the sidewalk, under two trees.
:At the beginning of this episode, the camera zooms away from the level access point, flies over the village to the lakeside in rapid motion, then rotates around the windmill and eventually shows a shot of Petey Piranha on the rooftop with a Shine Sprite over his head. Mario has to take the same path like in the previous episode, and then ascend the windmill until he reaches Petey Piranha. A cutscene will show both of them crashing through the roof into the interior of the windmill, where a boss battle will then commence.


:During the battle, Petey will either use his head to swipe at Mario, or open his mouth to spit a large amount of brown goop. The moment he opens his mouth, Mario should use FLUDD to fill the Piranha Plant with water. Petey will then swell and fall over, giving Mario an opportunity to attack his belly with a [[Ground Pound]]. The player has to repeat that procedure another two times until Petey dissolves into goop and releases his Shine Sprite.  
*'''[[Pineapple]]'''
**Farther along the sidewalk, in the center of a triangle of trees.


===Episode 3: The [[Hillside Cave]] Secret===
*'''[[Banana]]s'''
[[Image:Hillside Cave.jpg|thumb|left|Mario next to the Hillside Cave.]]
**By the river, next to a tree.
:At the beginning, the player can see the camera showing a cave at the mountainside right over the lake. Mario has to travel to this cave in order to receive a Shine Sprite. Since the goop is gone from the level, the gate connecting the two big level areas has been re-opened and Mario can simply pass through it. To reach the cave, Mario can make use of several platforms and ropes below the bridge to the windmill. Dodging the [[Spiky Ring]]s along the way, he makes his way towards his destination.
**Across the river.


:When Mario enters the cave, Shadow Mario will show up and steal FLUDD, leaving him on his own. Mario has to rely on his jumping skills alone to pass the various criss-crossing blocks, large cubes which attempt to push him off into a [[Abyss|Bottomless Pit]], and rotating stars that build a floating path. At the end near a palm tree, a Shine Sprite awaits. After Mario cleared this level, he can access it with FLUDD and a Red Coin challenge awaits.
*'''[[Coconut]]:'''
**South side of the river, lying out in the open.


===Episode 4: Red Coins Of Windmill Village===
*'''[[Papaya]]:'''
[[Image:Red_Coins_Of_Windmill_Village.png|thumb|left|]]
**North side of the sidewalk, between two trees.
:The Episode begins with a shot of Windmill Village, zooming over the buildings. This episode is a [[Red Coin]] challenge, so Mario has to collect eight Red Coins that are hidden all over the village to make a Shine Sprite appear. The coins can be found ontop of the various buildings, but some of them are also hidden on the great wall that sepparates the village from the lakeside. Spiky Rings and [[Wind Duppy|Wind Duppies]] will try to impede the players progress, so they have to be avoided. Mario can make the great wooden platforms in the middle of the village rotate by squirting water at the big, windmill-like objects attached to them. After he collected every Red Coin, a Shine Sprite will appear on a platform high above the village, which can be accessed through a rope.


===Episode 5: Petey Piranha Strikes Back===
===Nozzles===
[[Image:Petey_Piranha_Strikes_Back.PNG|thumb|]]
All [[nozzle box]]es begin to appear in Episode 4.
:This Episode, which parodies the name of the movie ''[[wikipedia:Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back|Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back]]'', sets in with another shot of Windmill Village, but this time, the entire Village is covered in goop. Some of the villagers are burried under the substance, so Mario has to free them. The villagers will tell Mario they saw a huge plant creature venturing to the cliffs north of town. Mario can make his way up to the cliffside using FLUDD, or he can make use of a Pianta near the cliff who will throw Mario away when he talks to him. If the timing is right, the player can use this to make Mario get tossed up on top of the cliffs. There he will once again find Petey Piranha, sleeping. Mario can make the big plant wake up by shooting a Thingus at him, which will cause Petey to move over and harrass the village.


:Petey Piranha will use his leaves to move through the air and hover over Windmill Village. Occasionally, he will spit blobs of goop at Mario. Mario has to bring him down by shooting water or a thingus at him, while he is not moving (Petey is invulnerable while in motion). This will cause Petey to fall down and allow Mario to attack him. On the ground, Petey can cause tornados that blow Mario away, or use the same goop-spitting attack like in the second Episode. Live before, Mario has to fill him up with water until he falls over and attack his belly to harm him. Petey will then rise into the air and has to be brought down again.
*'''[[F.L.U.D.D.#Hover Nozzle|Hover Nozzle]]'''
**Can easily be seen on the ground in front of two houses in the village.
**Nearby a sprinkler near the Big Windmill.


===Episode 6: The Secret Of The Dirty Lake===
*'''[[F.L.U.D.D.#Rocket Nozzle|Rocket Nozzle]]'''
:The introduction of this episode shows a shot of the lakeside and zooms over the lake. The lake has become polluted with goop, turning the water into a health hazard for Mario. Mario has to find the source of the pollution and finds it in form of a cave with goop oozing out. Mario has to use lily pads to move over to the cave. However, the poisonous effect of the infested water causes the lily pads to rot away if Mario stays too long on them. Another way to access the cave is by jumping from the cliff with the windmill on top and using Fludds Hover Nozzle to reach far enough.
**On the roof of a building in the village.
**On a rectangular platform on the eastern side of the lake.


:Inside the cave, another challenge awaits Mario, who again gets Fludd taken away by Shadow Mario. The challenge consists of various red and blue platforms that alternately flip over, floating cubes which rotate, forcing Mario to switch his position if he doesn’t want to fall off, and a pair of triangular blocks that try to push Mario into a Bottomless Pit. The player can collect two [[1-Up Mushroom]]s along the way. At the end near a palm tree, a Shine Sprite can be found. A Red Coin Challenge can be accessed if Mario re-enters this level.
*'''[[F.L.U.D.D.#Turbo Nozzle|Turbo Nozzle]]'''
**On top of the white wall next to a large watermill.
**In the entrance to Cliff Spring Cave. It is visible in Episodes 4-8, but is only accessible in Episodes 6-8.


===Episode 7: It's Shadow Mario! After Him!===
===[[1-Up Mushroom]]s===
:This is the Shadow Mario Episode of Bianco Hills. The player has to complete it in order to get access to the [[Corona Mountain|final level]] and beat the [[Bowser|final boss]]. The Episode sets in with a view of the level access area and zooms in on Shadow Mario who is waiting in front of the wet slope. Mario has to pursue him through Windmill Village and spray him with water until he gives up and releases a Shine Sprite. For some unexplained reason, Shadow Mario is shown swimming through the river that runs through Windmill Village without taking damage.
*'''Bianco Hills:'''
**Obtained by spraying the bells on an archway in the village.
**Obtained by eating a group of green butterflies near the red female chuckster with Yoshi. Only available in Episode 8.
**Obtained by destroying a beehive in a palm tree near the outside wall of the village and using Yoshi to eat all of the bees. Only available in Episode 8.
*'''The Hillside Cave Secret:'''
**Obtained by fully ground pounding the right nail on the first green platform just before the section with many moving orange blocks.
**Directly above the second star on the main path just before the final platform with the Shine Sprite.
*'''The Secret of the Dirty Lake:'''
**On the star on top of the blue platform, just after the first set of flipping platforms.
**On the left side of the rotating white block's path upwards. It will land on the white block if not collected in mid-air.


===Episode 8: Red Coins of the Lake===
==Profiles==
:The final Episode of this level is completely optional and not needed in order to reach the final stage. It sets in with a shot of the lake surface which is now completely free of any goop and zooms further over the water. Mario has to collect another set of eight Red Coins in order to complete this challenge. The coins are positioned over the lake and Mario has to use wooden platforms and ropes to collect all of them, while avoiding Spiky Rings and Wind Duppies which will try to make him fall down. FLUDD's Rocket Nozzle, which can be found, in some places of this level, can prove useful when trying to reach the ropes that are tighted over the lake. A [[Yoshi Egg]] can be found at the beginning of the level and hatched with one of the several fruits that lie around all over the landscape. However, [[Yoshi]] has no significant use in this Episode.

*Part of Bianco Hills can be seen during the opening sequence of ''Super Mario Sunshine'', in the welcome video.

Pianta, Super Mario Sunshine

Bianco Hills is a hilly and picturesque countryside region in the center of Isle Delfino and northwest of Delfino Plaza, appearing in Super Mario Sunshine. It can be entered via the Rainbow M on the base of the Grand Pianta Statue in Delfino Plaza's Bianco Square once the player defeats Shadow Mario for the first time. The word "bianco" in its name is Italian for white, probably in reference to the white colored houses, walls, and roads found in the area.

In Mario Golf: Advance Tour, some of the Mushroom Course holes are very similar, and seem to be based on this area.

Layout[edit]

Bianco Hills consists of the Windmill Village inhabited by Piantas, the upper hilly area, and a large lake. In the center of Bianco Hills lies the Big Windmill, which is located at the end of the lake.

Mario will start on a cliff overlooking Delfino Plaza, Ricco Harbor, and Pinna Park, which he can view by turning around, but cannot jump down and reach due to an invisible wall. If Yoshi is rescued, he will appear in his egg here in Episode 8. Moving forward from the start, Mario will proceed up a sloped area with a brick path and three Piantas and then down the other side of the slope which is continuously being sprayed with water, which will refill FLUDD and the player can slide down. The path will end at a river with a log in it the player can use to get across.

Beyond the river is the Windmill Village area filled with many buildings and windmills strung together with ropes. Several Piantas are seen walking around the village, and the red female and the brown male ones in the back are chucksters capable of throwing Mario upward. Around the village are several Pokey Pods, many of which are hiding in rings of flowers that will release coins if sprayed in a relatively short period of time. There are several Poinks to the left of the village in some episodes. By using the walls or ropes, Mario can climb onto the top of the houses; one of which has a large platform on top of it that can be turned by spraying the sail with FLUDD. During Episode 5, Petey Piranha will be fought in the village after waking him up. If the Turbo Nozzle has been found in Episode 6, its box will appear at the end of the large wall, and if the Rocket Nozzle is found during Episode 4, its box will appear on one of the buildings. Along the base of the wall next to the village are several Strollin' Stus. Behind the village is a series of terraces leading up to a high cliff. On the other end a large river can be seen below some cliffs, however this river is too high to climb out of and Mario will lose a life if he falls in. There is also a lone pillar-like mound in the middle of this cliff, in Episode 5 Petey Piranha is sleeping here and can be woken up and battled by shooting a one of the nearby Poinks at him.

Crossing through the wall next to the village, either through the gate (which is closed during Episode 1), the large waterwheel, or by climbing over the wall entirely, will lead the player to the large lake and surrounding area. Many trees, Pokey Pods, and Seedy Pods are found in the grassy area and the ledges to the west of the lake contain a Pokey and several platforms that lead to Red Coins and the Shine Sprite for The Red Coins of the Lake. There are also many platforms with small windmills on them throughout the lake area, if Mario sprays them with water for a sustained period of time, a coin will spawn on top of the platform. Additionally, if Mario managed to collect 100 coins in Bianco Hills, the Shine Sprite will appear on top of the windmill platform near the top of the village wall. Following the path from the waterwheel will lead across a bridge and to the large windmill in the middle of the lake. The path to the windmill has many bends and gaps in it the player needs to jump or use the Hover Nozzle to cross, where Petey Piranha can be challenged in Episode 1 and Episode 2. Platforms underneath the bridge are strung with ropes that will lead the player to the Hillside Cave which can be entered from Episode 3 onward. The lake itself has several Pondskaters swimming on the surface. In the back of the lake behind the big windmill is the Cliff Spring Cave, which can be entered from Episode 6 onward. Also during Episode 6, the lake is polluted, so the player needs to use lily pads to get around, but they will need to move quickly as the lily pads rot over time.
