'''Ricco Harbor''' is a trading port in [[Isle Delfino]] in the game ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. [[Mario]] can access Ricco Harbor after he has three [[Shine Sprite]]s and defeats the [[Proto Piranha]] that devoured the [[Boathouse]]. Its name "Ricco" is Italian for "rich", so the name translates to "Rich Harbor". Ricco Harbor ("Rich Harbor") can also be a play on "{{wp|Puerto Rico}}", which, in Spanish, means "Rich Port"; or a play on "{{wp|Costa Rica}}", which, in Spanish, similarly means "Rich Coast". Both are located in or along the Caribbean, are popular tourist destinations, and are major hubs for maritime trade in real life.


'''Ricco Harbor''' is a trading port in [[Isle Delfino]] in the game ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. [[Mario]] can access Ricco Harbor after he has three [[Shine Sprite]]s and defeats the [[Polluted Piranha Plant]] that devoured the [[Boathouse]]. A hidden stage is located in this level at the top of [[Ricco Tower]], which can be reached by the surrounding scaffolding. Aside from Delfino Plaza, Ricco Harbor is the only other location on Isle Delfino that has [[Manhole]]s. Its name "Ricco" is Italian for "rich", so the name translates to "Rich Harbor".
In ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'', [[Gooper Blooper Court]] and the minigame [[Gooper Blooper Volley]] are set in Ricco Harbor. Ricco Harbor makes a cameo in the background of the [[Delfino Plaza (stage)|Delfino Plaza stage]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. Ricco Harbor is referenced in ''[[nookipedia:Animal Crossing: New Leaf|Animal Crossing: New Leaf]]'' by the character [[nookipedia:Gulliver|Gulliver]].<ref>"''I haven't met someone so willing to help a total stranger since the residents of Ricco Harbor!''" Gulliver, ''Animal Crossing: New Leaf''.</ref>


The area is located on the part of Isle Delfino resembles to a fin, west of [[Delfino Plaza]]. The harbor has a large port built into the cliff face, where there are several buildings and construction equipment. At the end is a marketplace, where a fish market opens after Episode 6. In the water are several large ships, as well as various yachts and personal vessels that change their positions depending on the selected episode.
==Layout==
The player starts in a small port area with some storage sheds. One of the [[Manhole]] entrances is in this area as is a box with a [[Turbo Nozzle]]. During Episodes [[Blooper Surfing Safari|2]] and [[Red Coins on the Water|6]], there is a pier to the right where the [[Big Daddy of Blooper-surfing]] lets Mario use his [[Blooper Racer]]s. Around the port are two large boats the player can use to reach other areas of the level.


In Episode 7, a single [[Pianta]] can be seen swimming with a duck ring until Episode 8, which more Piantas appear. Over the water, there is a vast network of catwalks and platforms for unloading and repairing. There is also a warehouse with some wooden crates behind the level access point, as well as boats with defeated [[Blooper]]s inside. Mario meets [[Gooper Blooper]] for the first time in this level and ultimately encounters it twice: once in the vacant marketplace and again on the helicopter landing pad. The landing pad is also where the [[Pianta Captain]] prepares to leave in his private helicopter in Episode 8.
The boat directly ahead of the player's starting position leads to the large port. The boat itself has a fenced off deck that holds a few [[Gooble]]s. The player can take one of two ways to reach the port: By simply jumping of the left side of the ship, the player lands in a lower area with many crates and the large Ricco Tower. By using a Manhole here, the player can reach the upper ledge and into the port. Another way is to use a swinging grate platform off the right of the ship. The grate brings the player to two other platforms with an arrow on them, pointing toward the helipad ahead. During [[Gooper Blooper Breaks Out|Episode 1]] and [[Blooper Surfing Safari|Episode 2]], a large chain-link box maze is available to help the player across the platforms. This is replaced by a large yellow bottle shaped cage from [[The Caged Shine Sprite|Episode 3]] on. After the arrow platforms is another swinging platform that leads to a [[chuckster]]. The distance of the throw depends on the episode number, with later episodes having the Pianta throw Mario farther. To the left of this platform is a submerged submarine, which the player can surface by spraying the wheel above them. Crossing the submarine leads to a rising platform the player can use to reach the port.<br>


The place also features a Pianta, who will throw Mario various distances depending on the selected episode; as episodes progress, he'll throw Mario further than he did in the last episode. That Pianta also has a younger brother who'll do the same thing to Mario, starting in Episode 5, all the way up to Episode 8.  
The large port has several buildings along the hillside, though Mario cannot enter any of them. During certain episodes, [[Blooper]]s can be found sliding across the ground. Near the houses is a large [[fruit]]-dispensing machine; by [[Ground Pound]]ing the large buttons on top, a random fruit drops out. Beyond the fruit machine is a plaza where [[Gooper Blooper]] is fought during the first episode or a large market with a [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi egg]] is found during later episodes. To the right of the plaza is a tall helipad the player can reach by using the [[Rocket Nozzle]] found underneath it.


In ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'', Ricco Harbor is a court which has a gimmick that involves changing the size of the court via hitting panels.
The boat to the right of the player's staring position leads to a large obstacle course-like group of beams and platforms positioned over the level. The only time the player really needs to climb these platforms is during Episode 3: [[The Caged Shine Sprite]]. The platforms are made up of [[Chain-Link|metal screen]]s the player can climb, which contain panels to flip around using {{button|GCN|B}}, large cranes that carry the player across gaps, moving platforms, and trampolines.


In Episodes 1-5, there is a layer of black [[Goop#Slimy water|Goop]] over the water that will damage Mario if he makes contact with it. The goop cannot be cleaned off, but the player can dive underneath it without contacting it. The location of the goop changes each episode and appears in areas near where the Shine in that episode appears. In Episodes 6-8, the goop disappears and Mario can explore the waters of the harbor freely. The black goop appears in the following locations:
*Just below the plaza in Episode 1
*In front of the tunnel leading into the racecourse in Episode 2
*Below the bottle shaped cage in Episode 3
*By Ricco Tower in Episode 4
*Below the helipad in Episode 5


The array of ships in Ricco Harbor changes as the episodes go by. The ships range from small motor boats to {{wp|Handysize}} ships and a Submarine. The number of ships changes from only three in Episode 1 to over a dozen in Episode 6. However, four ships always are in port:
*A Handysize container ship directly in front of the starting point. It is red and black, and appears to be under repair, as there is caging around it that resembles a dry dock.
*Another Handysize ship, it is located to the right of the starting point. This ship appears to be a bulk carrier, because it has its own crane, and it has several steel beams and pipes as its cargo. It is blue and white.
*A very small yellow submarine that is anchored in the middle of the port. This submarine is totally submerged in the first level, and the player can earn a [[Blue Coin|blue coin]] for raising it completely.
*A small size cruise ship type of recreational Yacht between in the middle of entrance to the port.

The first episode of this level sets in with a pan shot over the harbor and then focuses on a staple of metal crates at the marketplace. A thick black substance can be seen leaking out of the staple and a white tentacle is idling in front of the crates. Mario has to reach the marketplace first, which is located in the city district of Ricco Harbor. On the way, the player visits a cargo ship covered in Goop and also gets a view of Ricco Tower which is also surrounded with the same Goop. Mario can wash away the substance and reveal hidden signs which give him [[Blue Coin]]s when sprayed with water. Mario then finds the city district surrounded by polluted water, which is caused by the substance that oozes from the crate staple, flowing into the ocean. The player should jump on the white tentacle and pull it away from the staple, until it rips off. Gooper Blooper will then emerge from the staple and a boss battle begins.

During the battle, Gooper Blooper tries to flatten Mario with his tentacles. Mario has to pull on his snout which is sealed by a cork in order to clear the first half of the battle. However, if the player tries this right from the start, the Blooper will counter-attack with one of his four tentacles, causing Mario to lose his grasp. Therefore the player first has to defeat some of the tentacles by separating them from the Blooper's body. Mario can do this by jumping on the tentacles, flattening them, and then pulling on them until they rip off. Spraying water in the Bloopers face will cause him to attack with all tentacles at once, and the player can make use of that to time their attacks. If Gooper Blooper is down to one or two tentacles, the player can try to pull on his snout, or they can just cut off all the tentacles to be safe. After that, the snout slaps back into Gooper Blooper's face, leading to the second phase of the battle. The second phase plays just as the first one, with the exception that Gooper Blooper's snout is no longer sealed and a ring of black Goop surrounds him. After connecting another attack, the creature rockets into the air and Mario is rewarded with a [[Shine Sprite]].

===Episode 2: Blooper Surfing Safari===
===Fruits===
[[File:Blooper Surfing Safari.PNG|thumb|Mario avoiding obstacles while riding on the back of a yellow [[Surfing Blooper]].]]
Besides the two [[coconut]]s on a tree to the very east, all fruit is contained in a fruit tank near the fish market. Mario just needs to [[Ground Pound]] one of the tank's switches to obtain one.
The introduction scene for the second episode of this level shows a shot of a wooden platform with three [[Surfing Blooper]]s on top and then cuts to a tunnel leading to an area under the city district, with black slime oozing out. The player has to turn back from the level access point and move over the log bridge next to some wooden crates. On the floating platform Mario will meet [[Big Daddy]] who lends him one of his Surfing Bloopers (the pink being the fastest and green being the slowest). The player should use it to navigate to the source of the pollution and enter the tunnel. This episode's title may be a reference to [[wikipedia:The Beach Boys|The Beach Boys]] song [[wikipedia:Surfing Safari|Surfing Safari]]


Under the city, [[Mario]] will find Big Daddy again, along with a giant Surfing Blooper race course. The player has to race along the track, watching out for obstacles like floating orange blocks, red spikes pointing out of the water, or yellow colored boards which rotate and block Mario's way. If Mario leaves the water, his Surfing Blooper will significantly slow down, and any contact with a wall or an obstacle causes him to use an [[Extra Life]].
===Nozzles===
[[Nozzle box]]es become available beginning in Episode 3. Ricco Harbor has more nozzle boxes than any other area on Isle Delfino.


Mario can actually receive two Shine Sprites in this episode; the first is earned by doing one lap in under 45 seconds, while the other is earned by doing one lap in under 40 seconds. If Mario fails to accomplish those tasks, he'll find himself back at [[Delfino Plaza]]. He does not lose a life when this happens.

[[File:Caged Shine Sprite.png|thumb|Mario climbing across girders to reach the [[Shine Sprite]] in a cage.]]
[[File:SMS GB Riccoharbor.png|thumb|[[Isle Delfino]] [[Guide Book]] information for Ricco Harbor.]]
At the beginning of this episode, the introduction scene shows a view of the girder complex above the harbor and then spirals around the big, yellow-framed cage construction which gives this episode its name. Notable is also that the Goop is completely gone and that [[Klamber]]s begin to appear all over the level from this episode on. Mario has to move over a ship with a crane that is docked right at the level access point. He then must reach the girder complex by using various cranes with platforms, and climbable girders with Klambers on them. Once he reaches the girder complex, he will get attacked by [[Wind Duppy|Wind Duppies]] and Bloopers which try to throw him off the girders and down into the water. By using special launchpads and probably [[F.L.U.D.D.]]'s Rocket Nozzle, Mario can access the big yellow-framed cage from above and collect the Shine Sprite on the inside.

===Episode 4: The Secret of Ricco Tower===
[[File:RiccoTowersecret.png|thumb|Mario inside the tower's secret level.]]
The introduction scene of this episode shows a shot of [[Ricco Tower]] surrounded with black Goop once again, and then cuts to a zoom-in of the opening in the tower's top. Mario has to move to the tower and climb on top of it. He can either do this with the Rocket Nozzle, or he can use [[Wall Jump]]s on the bearings around the building to reach the top. From there he can enter Ricco Tower.
 
Inside Ricco Tower is another secret level. [[Shadow Mario]] will show up at the beginning and steal F.L.U.D.D., so Mario has to clear the level solely with his acrobatic skills. The player has to guide Mario over giant rotating chunks of wood, paying close attention to their move pattern in order to avoid falling down into a [[Abyss|Bottomless Pit]]. The wooden pieces change their shapes and sizes the further Mario proceeds through the level. At the end, a Shine Sprite awaits. If Mario re-enters this Episode after having cleared it once, he can take F.L.U.D.D. with him into the level and also participate in a [[Red Coin]] challenge.
 
An almost-exact replica of the secret level is found in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', as the [[Twisty Trials Galaxy]].

===Episode 5: Gooper Blooper Returns===
[[File:Gooper Blooper Returns.PNG|thumb|Mario fighting Gooper Blooper on the helipad near the east end of Ricco Harbor.]]
The scene that plays after accessing the episode shows a shot rotating around the helipad with Gooper Blooper on top. The area below the helipad is once again polluted with black Goop and some [[Pianta]]s can be seen infuriatingly yelling into the creature's direction. Mario can try to use the Rocket Nozzle to reach the helipad, but he can also talk to a Pianta on one of the metal platforms that were passed during Episode three. The Pianta will throw Mario onto the helipad and right into a battle with Gooper Blooper.
 
The battle against Gooper Blooper in this episode plays exactly like the fight in the first episode, but the Blooper now sports a new technique, which consists of rapidly moving his tentacles over the place like a giant rotor blade. The attack can be avoided by jumping over the tentacles. The battle then continues normally. The player has to cut off the Blooper's tentacles, pull on his mouth, avoid the ring of black Goop around the enemy and pull on the mouth again. After defeating Gooper Blooper once again, Mario will receive his next Shine Sprite.

===Episode 6: Red Coins on the Water===
[[File:Red Coins On The Water.PNG|thumb|Mario collecting [[Red Coin]]s while riding on a yellow Surfing Blooper.]]
The sixth episode sets in with another shot of the wooden platform that was shown in Episode 2, until the view tilts over the harbor and its various sea vehicles. Big Daddy now has a big collection of Surfing Bloopers and once again he will lend one to Mario in this episode. Before mounting a Surfing Blooper, the player has to press the big red button on the wooden platform to make eight Red Coins appear all over the harbor's water. They then have to use one of the Surfing Bloopers to collect them all within the set time limit. While racing over the surface with high speed, the player has to watch out not to hit an obstacle like a ship while collecting the Coins. If Mario hits an object or runs out of time, he will lose an [[Extra Life]]. The Shine Sprite for collecting the set of Red Coins appears above Big Daddy's platform and has to be collected while riding on the Surfing Blooper. Because of this it is still possible to lose even after all the Coins are collected.

===Episode 7: Shadow Mario Revisited===
[[File:Shadow Mario Revisited.PNG|thumb|Mario chasing [[Shadow Mario]] and spraying him with water from [[F.L.U.D.D.]].]]
This is the Shadow Mario episode of Ricco Harbor, and completing it is necessary to open the gate to [[Corona Mountain]] where the [[Bowser|final boss]] lurks. The episode begins with a shot of the ship with the crane, then tilts over to the cargo ship and zooms in on Shadow Mario who stands in front of the ship. Mario has to hunt down the enemy and spray him with water until he gives up. He first flees over the cargo ship and eventually climbs onto the girder complex above the harbor. The player has to watch not to fall off the path while pursuing Shadow Mario. After the enemy goes down, Mario will receive another Shine Sprite.

===Episode 8: Yoshi's Fruit Adventure===
[[File:YoshisFA.PNG|thumb|Mario and [[Yoshi]] riding on a pink enemy platform.]]
The introduction scene begins with showing the two big fruit storages made of stone and then pans over to several metal platforms high above the water, with fish jumping between them. The pan shot then comes to a halt over a cage-like construct covered by a slimy [[Graffiti#Forcefield|Forcefield]] which has a Shine Sprite inside.
 
As the title of the episode implies, Mario has to use Yoshi to reach his destination. The Yoshi Egg can be found at the marketplace of the town district where Gooper Blooper was first fought, and the fruits needed to hatch the egg are located inside the two fruit storage buildings nearby. The [[:Category:Fruit|fruits]] can be accessed by ground-pounding the two switches atop the buildings. However, the Yoshi Egg demands a [[Durian]], so the player will have to keep pressing the switches until they receive one. This makes getting the Durian to Yoshi a lot more difficult.
 
Once the player gets the Durian to Yoshi, they then have to use Yoshi's Juice attack which can turn enemies into moving blocks to navigate across the steel platforms. Since Durians turn Yoshi's color to purple, the platforms move horizontilly, making navigation to the first steel platform possible (it is possible, however, to make it with Pink Yoshi, but there is a very big chance the player will miss the platform). Using this, the player can climb up to the caged Shine Sprite and spray the [[Forcefield]] with Yoshi's juice to gain access to it. However, Mario cannot get to the Shine Sprite while riding Yoshi, and will have to get off of him in order to collect it, though it is possible to collect it with Yoshi by putting him on the cage door and ground-pounding so that he falls in.
 
During this episode, the famous [[Doot-Doot Sisters]] are present in Ricco Harbor and can be found halfway through the town, surrounded by fans. Additionally, the fish market at the marketplace is shown to flourish again.

—Pianta, Super Mario Sunshine

Ricco Harbor is a trading port in Isle Delfino in the game Super Mario Sunshine. Mario can access Ricco Harbor after he has three Shine Sprites and defeats the Proto Piranha that devoured the Boathouse. Its name "Ricco" is Italian for "rich", so the name translates to "Rich Harbor". Ricco Harbor ("Rich Harbor") can also be a play on "Puerto Rico", which, in Spanish, means "Rich Port"; or a play on "Costa Rica", which, in Spanish, similarly means "Rich Coast". Both are located in or along the Caribbean, are popular tourist destinations, and are major hubs for maritime trade in real life.

In Mario Power Tennis, Gooper Blooper Court and the minigame Gooper Blooper Volley are set in Ricco Harbor. Ricco Harbor makes a cameo in the background of the Delfino Plaza stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Ricco Harbor is referenced in Animal Crossing: New Leaf by the character Gulliver.[1]

Layout[edit]

The player starts in a small port area with some storage sheds. One of the Manhole entrances is in this area as is a box with a Turbo Nozzle. During Episodes 2 and 6, there is a pier to the right where the Big Daddy of Blooper-surfing lets Mario use his Blooper Racers. Around the port are two large boats the player can use to reach other areas of the level.

The boat directly ahead of the player's starting position leads to the large port. The boat itself has a fenced off deck that holds a few Goobles. The player can take one of two ways to reach the port: By simply jumping of the left side of the ship, the player lands in a lower area with many crates and the large Ricco Tower. By using a Manhole here, the player can reach the upper ledge and into the port. Another way is to use a swinging grate platform off the right of the ship. The grate brings the player to two other platforms with an arrow on them, pointing toward the helipad ahead. During Episode 1 and Episode 2, a large chain-link box maze is available to help the player across the platforms. This is replaced by a large yellow bottle shaped cage from Episode 3 on. After the arrow platforms is another swinging platform that leads to a chuckster. The distance of the throw depends on the episode number, with later episodes having the Pianta throw Mario farther. To the left of this platform is a submerged submarine, which the player can surface by spraying the wheel above them. Crossing the submarine leads to a rising platform the player can use to reach the port.

The large port has several buildings along the hillside, though Mario cannot enter any of them. During certain episodes, Bloopers can be found sliding across the ground. Near the houses is a large fruit-dispensing machine; by Ground Pounding the large buttons on top, a random fruit drops out. Beyond the fruit machine is a plaza where Gooper Blooper is fought during the first episode or a large market with a Yoshi egg is found during later episodes. To the right of the plaza is a tall helipad the player can reach by using the Rocket Nozzle found underneath it.

The boat to the right of the player's staring position leads to a large obstacle course-like group of beams and platforms positioned over the level. The only time the player really needs to climb these platforms is during Episode 3: The Caged Shine Sprite. The platforms are made up of metal screens the player can climb, which contain panels to flip around using B Button, large cranes that carry the player across gaps, moving platforms, and trampolines.

In Episodes 1-5, there is a layer of black Goop over the water that will damage Mario if he makes contact with it. The goop cannot be cleaned off, but the player can dive underneath it without contacting it. The location of the goop changes each episode and appears in areas near where the Shine in that episode appears. In Episodes 6-8, the goop disappears and Mario can explore the waters of the harbor freely. The black goop appears in the following locations:

  • Just below the plaza in Episode 1
  • In front of the tunnel leading into the racecourse in Episode 2
  • Below the bottle shaped cage in Episode 3
  • By Ricco Tower in Episode 4
  • Below the helipad in Episode 5

The array of ships in Ricco Harbor changes as the episodes go by. The ships range from small motor boats to Handysize ships and a Submarine. The number of ships changes from only three in Episode 1 to over a dozen in Episode 6. However, four ships always are in port:

  • A Handysize container ship directly in front of the starting point. It is red and black, and appears to be under repair, as there is caging around it that resembles a dry dock.
  • Another Handysize ship, it is located to the right of the starting point. This ship appears to be a bulk carrier, because it has its own crane, and it has several steel beams and pipes as its cargo. It is blue and white.
  • A very small yellow submarine that is anchored in the middle of the port. This submarine is totally submerged in the first level, and the player can earn a blue coin for raising it completely.
  • A small size cruise ship type of recreational Yacht between in the middle of entrance to the port.

Music[edit]

Main article: Isle Delfino (theme)

The "Ricco Harbor" theme is an arrangement of the "Isle Delfino" theme in the key of C major, similar to the themes of Gelato Beach and Bianco Hills. However, this arrangement is in a ska style, with prominent saxophone and electric guitar instrumentation. It was composed by Koji Kondo.

"Ricco Harbor" returns as a playable track in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, where it can be played on the Delfino Plaza stage, and in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, where it can be played on any Super Smash Bros.- and Super Mario-series stage.

The theme is also featured on the Super Mario Sunshine Original Soundtrack in Super Mario 3D All-Stars.

  • When the player is viewing Delfino Plaza from Ricco Harbor, there is a Warp Pipe visible on the island between them. This pipe is not present when visiting from Delfino Plaza. This is likely a developmental oversight, as there is an island like it near Delfino Plaza, but not on the same side of the town as Ricco Harbor.
