- —Pianta, Super Mario Galaxy 2
The Grand Pianta Statue, or Great Pianta Statue,[1][2] is a large statue of a Pianta on a pedestal, located directly in the middle of Bianco Square in Delfino Plaza. It appears in Super Mario Sunshine. When Mario first arrives at Delfino Plaza, the statue is buried under all the brown goop. After Mario and FLUDD defeat the Proto Piranha, all the goop disappears, making the Grand Pianta Statue appear. However, when it appears, Shadow Mario is on top of it. Shadow Mario jumps off the statue, runs up to Princess Peach, and kidnaps her. After Mario chases Shadow Mario and gets Peach back, Shadow Mario paints a Rainbow M on the statue, which leads to Bianco Hills.
The Grand Pianta Statue also appears on Peach Beach in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! A similar Planta statue appears in Delfino Square in Mario Kart DS (as well as DS Delfino Square in Mario Kart Wii), though it lacks the cape, medallion, and muscular physique of the Grand Pianta Statue. The statue is present in the Delfino Plaza Court in Mario Power Tennis, right in front overlooking the court. In the Delfino Plaza stage in the Super Smash Bros. series, the Grand Pianta Statue has been removed, despite battles not actually taking place in the statue's direct area.
A Pianta statue similar to the one in Mario Kart DS also appears in Super Mario Galaxy 2 in the Starshine Beach Galaxy, a galaxy based on elements from Super Mario Sunshine.
