'''Isle Delfino''' is a tropical paradise island and vacation resort inhabited by [[Pianta]]s, [[Noki]]s, [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s, [[Sunflower Kid]]s, and [[Raccoon]]s. Alongside the smaller [[Pinna Park|Pinna Island]], it resembles a dolphin, as indicated by its name, which means "dolphin" in Italian. This is a reference to the [[Nintendo GameCube]]'s preproduction code name, Project Dolphin. Isle Delfino is the main setting of ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', and has since reappeared in many spin-offs, including the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]].

Isle Delfino has appeared in four of the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' games with new courses and stages based on it.
Isle Delfino has appeared in five of the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' games with new courses and stages based on it.


In ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', a course named [[Peach Beach]] was introduced, which took place on the shore of Isle Delfino. After the [[player]] completed the Grand Prix, the award ceremony was held there. ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' featured a new course called [[Delfino Square]], which takes place in autumn instead of the usual tropical weather. In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', both these courses returned in the Retro cups, along with a new battle stage called [[Delfino Pier]], which likely takes place in the docking area of Delfino Plaza. A new track named [[Coconut Mall]] is speculated to take place on Isle Delfino, since the owners of the mall are mostly Piantas. Coconut Mall then returned in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' as a Retro track.

Come enjoy a natural wonderland to which we've added the world's finest resort facilities, a spectacular amusement park, and succulent seafood! This and more await you on Isle Delfino! Come relax and let us refresh your body and spirit.”
—Pianta, Super Mario Sunshine

Isle Delfino is a tropical paradise island and vacation resort inhabited by Piantas, Nokis, Yoshis, Sunflower Kids, and Raccoons. Alongside the smaller Pinna Island, it resembles a dolphin, as indicated by its name, which means "dolphin" in Italian. This is a reference to the Nintendo GameCube's preproduction code name, Project Dolphin. Isle Delfino is the main setting of Super Mario Sunshine, and has since reappeared in many spin-offs, including the Mario Kart series.

Many of the locations on Isle Delfino can be clearly seen from some of the other locations on the island, with the exception of Noki Bay, which remains virtually hidden from the rest of the island, though small glimpses of it can be seen from the tops of some of the large palm trees in Pianta Village.

History[edit]

A scan of Delfino Isle's map from Super Mario Sunshine
A map of Isle Delfino from Nintendo Dream magazine, volume 72.

Super Mario Sunshine[edit]

Mario, Peach, Toadsworth, and some Toads take a trip to Isle Delfino in Super Mario Sunshine. However, the island had been covered in graffiti by the mysterious Shadow Mario, who the people think is Mario. With the help of the water pack FLUDD, Mario is forced to get rid of all the paint on the island and clear his name by defeating the imposter that has been causing trouble. Shadow Mario turns out to be Bowser Jr., who soon kidnaps Peach, but after Mario defeats him and his father, Bowser, life on the island returns to normal and Mario, Peach, and their friends enjoy the rest of their stay on Isle Delfino.

Mario Kart series[edit]

Isle Delfino has appeared in five of the Mario Kart games with new courses and stages based on it.

In Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Peach Beach takes place on Isle Delfino. After the player completed the Grand Prix, the award ceremony was held there. Mario Kart DS features Delfino Square, which takes place in autumn instead of the usual tropical weather. In Mario Kart Wii, both Peach Beach and Delfino Square returned in the Retro cups, along with a new battle stage called Delfino Pier, which likely takes place in the docking area of Delfino Plaza. Additionally, Coconut Mall takes place on Isle Delfino, and returns in Mario Kart 7 and Mario Kart Tour as a classic course, as well as in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as part of the Booster Course Pass. Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe also features Sunshine Airport, an airport located on Isle Delfino.

Other games[edit]

Locations on Isle Delfino are shown in a couple of Mario Party minigames. Mario Power Tennis includes both the Delfino Plaza Court and the Gooper Blooper Court, which is set in Ricco Harbor.

Delfino Plaza is also one of the boards in Itadaki Street DS and Fortune Street. It is also one of the stages in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
