'''Gelato Beach''' is a pink sand beach resort location on [[Isle Delfino]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' and is located on the “stomach” part of the dolphin shaped island, east of [[Sirena Beach]]. Its name is derived from {{wp|gelato}}, a type of Italian-style ice cream. It is the largest and sunniest beach on Isle Delfino and also the resting place of the legendary [[Sand Bird]] egg, which is located inside the [[Shine Tower]]; a large stone building in the center of the beach. Large mirrors have been installed around the tower that reflect sunlight at the egg to keep it warm until it hatches. According to a local [[Pianta]], this has been going on for a century. Gelato Beach and [[Pinna Park]] are the only levels that are not covered in [[goop]].


'''Gelato Beach''' is a beach part of [[Isle Delfino]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. A great [[Sandbird]] egg was here for some time and many solar plates kept it warm. During [[Mario]]'s time on the island, a large [[Wiggler]] napped on the nest where the Sandbird's egg was. After being awakened, it rampaged the area, leaving Mario to defeat it. Mario eventually got to ride the Sandbird and collect 8 [[Red Coin]]s. Gelato Beach is on the "stomach" of the dolphin shaped island, east of [[Sirena Beach]].
In ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'', the [[Blooper Bay]] course seems to be based on this area.


[[Cataquacks]] inhabit this area. Large Cataquacks called [[Plungelo]]s are responsible for messing up the solar plates, which allowed the Wiggler to inhabit the area. Of particular notice are sand designs that pop up after spraying [[Dune Bud]]s with water, which also happen to be the key to defeating Cataquacks. There is a watermelon festival at the hut to the west of the beach. Also in the area there is a coral reef where many fish lurk about. Additionally, there is an ampitheatre overlooking the whole beach, from which many tightropes extend.

[[File:SMS Gelato Beach.jpg|thumb|left|150px|An aerial view of the beach]]
Gelato Beach is a large beach with a number of huts and trees. [[Cataquack]]s roam the sandy areas, with blue Cataquacks on episodes 1, 2 and 4, and red Cataquacks on episodes 5-8. Many [[Dune Bud]]s are placed around the beach, and spraying them will make the area below them pop out in a sand sculpture-like shape.


This is the first level of ''Super Mario Sunshine'' to use the [[Noki]] people, and to feature and appearance of [[Il Piantissimo]]. It's the largest beach in the game, with catamaran boats, surfboards, huts and tourists.
The player starts on a small island just off the coast of the beach. Behind that island is another island with tall palm trees and a [[swing (Super Mario Sunshine)|swing]] attached to one of them, which will help the player reach a [[Blue Coin|blue coin]]. A [[Turbo Nozzle]] can also be found here if it is unlocked. Directly ahead of where the player starts is a hut with several pieces of fruit in it. To the left of the hut are a group of trees with one of the tower's mirrors in the center. From the center of the beach and facing the tower, there is a sandy area followed by long path to a central Amphitheatre<ref>{{cite|author=Loe, Casey|title=''Super Mario Sunshine'' Perfect Guide|page=53|date=August 12, 2002|isbn=1-931886-09-1|publisher=Versus Books}}</ref> area ahead, a fruit cabana to the left, and a peninsula to the back. Beyond the Amphitheatre is a long, broken path with many [[Rope#Tightrope|tightropes]] above it. Behind the fruit cabana is a coral reef where [[Red Coins in the Coral Reef|Episode 6]] takes place. Also during Episode 6, [[Yoshi]] can be found on the peninsula.

Gelato Beach
Official screenshot of Gelato Beach from Super Mario Sunshine.
First appearance Super Mario Sunshine (2002)
Latest appearance Super Mario 3D All-Stars (2020)
Greater location Isle Delfino
Inhabitants Cataquacks, Cheep-Cheeps, Piantas, Nokis
Isle Delfino is often referred to as a slice of paradise on earth. And Gelato Beach? Why, it's its most sun-kissed shore! All of the local Piantas and Nokis just love to have festivals here!”
Noki, Super Mario Sunshine

Gelato Beach is a pink sand beach resort location on Isle Delfino in Super Mario Sunshine and is located on the “stomach” part of the dolphin shaped island, east of Sirena Beach. Its name is derived from gelato, a type of Italian-style ice cream. It is the largest and sunniest beach on Isle Delfino and also the resting place of the legendary Sand Bird egg, which is located inside the Shine Tower; a large stone building in the center of the beach. Large mirrors have been installed around the tower that reflect sunlight at the egg to keep it warm until it hatches. According to a local Pianta, this has been going on for a century. Gelato Beach and Pinna Park are the only levels that are not covered in goop.

In Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, the Blooper Bay course seems to be based on this area.

Layout[edit]

Super Mario Sunshine: Gelato Beach top-down view
An aerial view of the beach

Gelato Beach is a large beach with a number of huts and trees. Cataquacks roam the sandy areas, with blue Cataquacks on episodes 1, 2 and 4, and red Cataquacks on episodes 5-8. Many Dune Buds are placed around the beach, and spraying them will make the area below them pop out in a sand sculpture-like shape.

The player starts on a small island just off the coast of the beach. Behind that island is another island with tall palm trees and a swing attached to one of them, which will help the player reach a blue coin. A Turbo Nozzle can also be found here if it is unlocked. Directly ahead of where the player starts is a hut with several pieces of fruit in it. To the left of the hut are a group of trees with one of the tower's mirrors in the center. From the center of the beach and facing the tower, there is a sandy area followed by long path to a central Amphitheatre[1] area ahead, a fruit cabana to the left, and a peninsula to the back. Beyond the Amphitheatre is a long, broken path with many tightropes above it. Behind the fruit cabana is a coral reef where Episode 6 takes place. Also during Episode 6, Yoshi can be found on the peninsula.
