====''Super Mario Sunshine''====
In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', the themes from [[Ricco Harbor]], [[Gelato Beach]], [[Bianco Hills]], the episode select screen, and the staff credits are all arrangements of Delfino Plaza's melody. "Ricco Harbor" is in the key of C-major and is arranged in a ska style, with prominent saxophone and electric guitar instrumentation. "Bianco Hills" is also in the key of C major and is arranged in the style of European folk music, with prominent use of clarinet, flute, and oboe, accompanied by tambourine, castanets, and harp. "Gelato Beach" is once again in the key of C-major and is arranged in the style of Trinidadian calypso, with prominent saxophone and steel drum instrumentation. The theme heard on the episode select screen only consists of a few music box-like notes from "Delfino Plaza".

"Isle Delfino",[1] also known as "Delfino Plaza",[2] is a recurring musical theme written by Koji Kondo[3] that first appears in Super Mario Sunshine, where it serves as the background music for Delfino Plaza. The original song and arrangements of it have also appeared in later games.

Composition[edit]

"Isle Delfino" is in the key of A major, and its arrangement invokes Italian folk music. The melody alternates between guitar and accordion, while another guitar provides rhythm and an upright bass adds the pizzicato bassline.

Arrangements[edit]

For arrangements of "Ricco Harbor," see Ricco Harbor § Arrangements.

Super Mario series[edit]

Super Mario Sunshine[edit]

Super Mario Sunshine features many arrangements of "Isle Delfino." The themes from Ricco Harbor, Gelato Beach, Bianco Hills, the episode select screen, and the staff credits are all arrangements of Delfino Plaza's melody.

"Ricco Harbor" is in the key of C-major and is arranged in a ska style, with prominent saxophone and electric guitar instrumentation.

"Bianco Hills" is also in the key of C major and is arranged in the style of European folk music, with prominent use of clarinet, flute, and oboe, accompanied by tambourine, castanets, and harp.

"Gelato Beach" is once again in the key of C-major and is arranged in the style of Trinidadian calypso, with prominent saxophone and steel drum instrumentation.

"Select Scenerio" only consists of a few music box-like notes from the main motif of "Delfino Plaza".

"Staff Credits" is an upbeat Latin arrangement of "Isle Delfino" featuring sports whistles and a roaring crowd in the background, likely referencing soccer games, a very popular sport in Latin America.

With "Isle Delfino," "Ricco Harbor," "Bianco Hills," and "Gelato Beach," a woodblock beat is added to the instrumentation when Mario rides Yoshi.

The woodblock remix can be heard in the second half of the original "Delfino Plaza" track in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It is also reused for the same purpose in Super Mario 3D All-Stars, the Nintendo Switch remake of Super Mario Sunshine.
