{{quote|Bianco Hills is a rather interesting place, huh? We have falling goop and all sorts of other oddities!|Pianta|Super Mario Sunshine}}
'''Bianco Hills''' is a hilly and picturesque countryside region in the center of [[Isle Delfino]] and northwest of [[Delfino Plaza]], appearing in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. It can be entered via the [[Goop#Rainbow M|Rainbow M]] on the base of the [[Grand Pianta Statue]] in Delfino Plaza's [[Bianco Square]] once the player defeats [[Shadow Mario]] for the first time. The word "bianco" in its name is Italian for white, probably in reference to the white colored houses, walls, and roads found in the area.


'''Bianco Hills''' is a hilly, countryside region in the center of [[Isle Delfino]], found northwest of [[Delfino Plaza]]. It consists of the Windmill Village inhabited by [[Pianta]]s, the upper hilly area, and a large lake. The centerpiece of this area is the very large windmill, which is located at the end of the lake. During [[Mario]]'s travels to Isle Delfino, much of Bianco Hills was, like other regions of Isle Delfino, covered in [[Goop]]. Of course, Mario got rid of the nasty graffiti with [[F.L.U.D.D]]. Bianco Hills is where Mario also first battled the infamous [[Petey Piranha]] – first they battle inside of the windmill, the next time they fight in the village.
In ''[[Mario Golf: Advance Tour]]'', some of the [[Mushroom Course]] holes are very similar, and seem to be based on this area.
==Layout==
Bianco Hills consists of the Windmill Village inhabited by [[Pianta]]s, the upper hilly area, and a large lake. In the center of Bianco Hills lies the [[Big Windmill]], which is located at the end of the lake.  


The entry to Bianco Hills requires one Shine Sprite from [[Delfino Airstrip]].
[[Mario]] will start on a cliff overlooking Delfino Plaza, [[Ricco Harbor]], and [[Pinna Park]], which he can view by turning around, but cannot jump down and reach due to an invisible wall. If [[Yoshi]] is rescued, he will appear in his egg here in [[The Red Coins of the Lake|Episode 8]]. Moving forward from the start, Mario will proceed up a sloped area with a brick path and three Piantas and then down the other side of the slope which is continuously being sprayed with water, which will refill [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]] and the player can [[dive|slide]] down. The path will end at a river with a log in it the player can use to get across.  


== Episodes ==
Beyond the river is the Windmill Village area filled with many buildings and windmills strung together with [[rope]]s. Several Piantas are seen walking around the village, and the red female and the brown male ones in the back are [[chuckster]]s capable of throwing Mario upward. Around the village are several [[Pokey Head|Pokey Pod]]s, many of which are hiding in rings of [[Flower (environmental object)|flowers]] that will release coins if sprayed in a relatively short period of time. There are several [[Poink]]s to the left of the village in some episodes. By using the walls or ropes, Mario can climb onto the top of the houses; one of which has a large platform on top of it that can be turned by spraying the sail with FLUDD. During [[Petey Piranha Strikes Back|Episode 5]], [[Petey Piranha]] will be fought in the village after waking him up. If the [[Turbo Nozzle]] has been found in [[The Secret of the Dirty Lake|Episode 6]], its box will appear at the end of the large wall, and if the [[Rocket Nozzle]] is found during [[The Red Coins of the Lake|Episode 4]], its box will appear on one of the buildings. Along the base of the wall next to the village are several [[Strollin' Stu]]s. Behind the village is a series of terraces leading up to a high cliff. On the other end a large river can be seen below some cliffs, however this river is too high to climb out of and Mario will lose a life if he falls in. There is also a lone pillar-like mound in the middle of this cliff, in Episode 5 Petey Piranha is sleeping here and can be woken up and battled by shooting a one of the nearby Poinks at him.
See [[List_of_episodes_in_Super_Mario_Sunshine#Bianco_Hills|here]] for a full list of episodes from Bianco Hills.
== Trivia ==
* Episode 1 of the level can be skipped when Mario goes right ahead to the top of the windmill, entering the fight with Petey Piranha. It is the only Episode in the game that can be skipped.
* "Bianco" is Italian for "white", so the name translates to "White Hills", which is probably making reference to the white colored houses and walls in Bianco Hills.


<br clear=all>
Crossing through the wall next to the village, either through the gate (which is closed during [[Road to the Big Windmill|Episode 1]]), the large waterwheel, or by climbing over the wall entirely, will lead the player to the large lake and surrounding area. Many trees, Pokey Pods, and [[Seedy Pod]]s are found in the grassy area and the ledges to the west of the lake contain a [[Pokey]] and several platforms that lead to [[Red Coin]]s and the [[Shine Sprite]] for The Red Coins of the Lake. There are also many platforms with small windmills on them throughout the lake area, if Mario sprays them with water for a sustained period of time, a coin will spawn on top of the platform. Additionally, if Mario managed to collect 100 coins in Bianco Hills, the Shine Sprite will appear on top of the windmill platform near the top of the village wall. Following the path from the waterwheel will lead across a bridge and to the large windmill in the middle of the lake. The path to the windmill has many bends and gaps in it the player needs to jump or use the [[Hover Nozzle]] to cross, where Petey Piranha can be challenged in Episode 1 and [[Down with Petey Piranha!|Episode 2]]. Platforms underneath the bridge are strung with ropes that will lead the player to the Hillside Cave which can be entered from [[The Hillside Cave Secret|Episode 3]] onward. The lake itself has several [[Skeeter|Pondskater]]s swimming on the surface. In the back of the lake behind the big windmill is the Cliff Spring Cave, which can be entered from Episode 6 onward. Also during Episode 6, the lake is polluted, so the player needs to use lily pads to get around, but they will need to move quickly as the lily pads rot over time.

Pianta, Super Mario Sunshine

Bianco Hills is a hilly and picturesque countryside region in the center of Isle Delfino and northwest of Delfino Plaza, appearing in Super Mario Sunshine. It can be entered via the Rainbow M on the base of the Grand Pianta Statue in Delfino Plaza's Bianco Square once the player defeats Shadow Mario for the first time. The word "bianco" in its name is Italian for white, probably in reference to the white colored houses, walls, and roads found in the area.

In Mario Golf: Advance Tour, some of the Mushroom Course holes are very similar, and seem to be based on this area.

Layout[edit]

Bianco Hills consists of the Windmill Village inhabited by Piantas, the upper hilly area, and a large lake. In the center of Bianco Hills lies the Big Windmill, which is located at the end of the lake.

Mario will start on a cliff overlooking Delfino Plaza, Ricco Harbor, and Pinna Park, which he can view by turning around, but cannot jump down and reach due to an invisible wall. If Yoshi is rescued, he will appear in his egg here in Episode 8. Moving forward from the start, Mario will proceed up a sloped area with a brick path and three Piantas and then down the other side of the slope which is continuously being sprayed with water, which will refill FLUDD and the player can slide down. The path will end at a river with a log in it the player can use to get across.

Beyond the river is the Windmill Village area filled with many buildings and windmills strung together with ropes. Several Piantas are seen walking around the village, and the red female and the brown male ones in the back are chucksters capable of throwing Mario upward. Around the village are several Pokey Pods, many of which are hiding in rings of flowers that will release coins if sprayed in a relatively short period of time. There are several Poinks to the left of the village in some episodes. By using the walls or ropes, Mario can climb onto the top of the houses; one of which has a large platform on top of it that can be turned by spraying the sail with FLUDD. During Episode 5, Petey Piranha will be fought in the village after waking him up. If the Turbo Nozzle has been found in Episode 6, its box will appear at the end of the large wall, and if the Rocket Nozzle is found during Episode 4, its box will appear on one of the buildings. Along the base of the wall next to the village are several Strollin' Stus. Behind the village is a series of terraces leading up to a high cliff. On the other end a large river can be seen below some cliffs, however this river is too high to climb out of and Mario will lose a life if he falls in. There is also a lone pillar-like mound in the middle of this cliff, in Episode 5 Petey Piranha is sleeping here and can be woken up and battled by shooting a one of the nearby Poinks at him.

Crossing through the wall next to the village, either through the gate (which is closed during Episode 1), the large waterwheel, or by climbing over the wall entirely, will lead the player to the large lake and surrounding area. Many trees, Pokey Pods, and Seedy Pods are found in the grassy area and the ledges to the west of the lake contain a Pokey and several platforms that lead to Red Coins and the Shine Sprite for The Red Coins of the Lake. There are also many platforms with small windmills on them throughout the lake area, if Mario sprays them with water for a sustained period of time, a coin will spawn on top of the platform. Additionally, if Mario managed to collect 100 coins in Bianco Hills, the Shine Sprite will appear on top of the windmill platform near the top of the village wall. Following the path from the waterwheel will lead across a bridge and to the large windmill in the middle of the lake. The path to the windmill has many bends and gaps in it the player needs to jump or use the Hover Nozzle to cross, where Petey Piranha can be challenged in Episode 1 and Episode 2. Platforms underneath the bridge are strung with ropes that will lead the player to the Hillside Cave which can be entered from Episode 3 onward. The lake itself has several Pondskaters swimming on the surface. In the back of the lake behind the big windmill is the Cliff Spring Cave, which can be entered from Episode 6 onward. Also during Episode 6, the lake is polluted, so the player needs to use lily pads to get around, but they will need to move quickly as the lily pads rot over time.

Main article: Isle Delfino (theme)

The "Bianco Hills" theme is an arrangement of the "Isle Delfino" theme in the key of C major, similar to the themes of Gelato Beach and Ricco Harbor. However, this arrangement is in the style of European folk music, with prominent use of clarinet, flute, and oboe, accompanied by tambourine, castanets, and harp. It was composed by Koji Kondo.

Trivia[edit]

Bianco Hills as shown in the Super Mario Sunshine intro. Mario also can be seen in the lower right part of the image.
  • Part of Bianco Hills can be seen during the opening sequence of Super Mario Sunshine, in the welcome video. Here, Mario with FLUDD can be seen in the lower right part of the screen, close to the lake. This is a development error, since Mario has neither visited Isle Delfino nor met FLUDD yet at this time.
  • Among the seven main courses in the game, this is the only level in which all 30 blue coins can be collected in one visit; this is possible by selecting Episode 8 (The Red Coins of the Lake).
  • This is one of only two worlds in the game with a death pit. The other, Pianta Village, is suspended by three giant trees over a giant bottomless pit. Bianco Hills has a small area at the northwestern corner of the map where there is a platform in the middle of a lake; a player who falls into the water in this lake will instantly lose a life. Spraying the platform will reward the player with one blue coin.
  • In the Super Mario 3D All-Stars version of Super Mario Sunshine, prior to version 1.1.0, debug cubes in the game's second secret area were visible.
  • The player can complete Episode 2 (Down with Petey Piranha!) before Episode 1 (Road to the Big Windmill) by either avoiding the Shine Sprite at the end of the latter episode and continuing up the windmill, or by bouncing on a Pondskater in the lake up to the windmill.
  • This is the only level where the player can access its Secret Courses outside of its featured Episode. The Hillside Cave can be visited anytime after completing Episode 3 (The Hillside Cave Secret) and the Cliffspring Cave can be visited anytime after completing Episode 6 (The Secret of the Dirty Lake).
