'''Corona Mountain''' is the final area [[Mario]] and [[F.L.U.D.D]] visit in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. The path to this area is opened after Mario and F.L.U.D.D complete all of the game's [[Shadow Mario]] levels. Corona Mountain is where the final showdown against [[Bowser]] and [[Bowser Jr.]] takes place. The volcano contains an area where Mario must [[jump]] across timed spiked fiery platforms. There is also an area where the plumber must steer a boat to the other side of a sea of lava. Falling into the lava results in instant death. If the boat collides with anything, it will sink into the lava. Surprisingly, although the boat is made of mud, no harm will come to it if the player avoids the obstacles. The final part of Corona Mountain is using the Rocket Nozzle to blast up onto clouds to reach Bowser's spa. Unlike the other areas, Corona Mountain does not have episodes and is merely an obstacle course, followed by the final battle.

'''Corona Mountain''' is the eighth and final level in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. Corona Mountain is a volcano on [[Isle Delfino]], located directly behind [[Delfino Plaza]]. As Isle Delfino is shaped like a dolphin, Corona Mountain is placed where the dolphin's blowhole would be. The entrance to the volcano is located behind the [[Shine Gate]], over a couple of ledges and behind a hot spring. To enter Corona Mountain, the player must complete each of the other levels' seventh episode, which are the [[Shadow Mario]] episodes. Upon doing so, the gate blocking the entrance to the volcano will break and Delfino Plaza will become flooded. Simply entering and leaving Corona Mountain will return Delfino Plaza to normal.


== Trivia ==
"Corona" means "crown" in Italian, Spanish and Latin, and can also refer to the {{wp|stellar corona|superhot plasma atmosphere}} that surrounds the sun. Because the rest of the locations of [[Isle Delfino]] have Italian names, the lava-filled volcano's allusion to the sun's heat may have merely been an afterthought or coincidence when "corona" was chosen for the mountain that crowned the "head" of the dolphin-shaped island.

The interior of Corona Mountain is a large pool of [[lava]] with several scattered platforms. Several of the platforms appear to be part of a broken walkway that used to lead to the back of the volcano. The first half of the volcano has large, square platforms [[Mario]] has to jump between. The platforms contain either [[Spike (obstacle)|spikes]] that move in and out of the platform or [[Burner|fire]] that Mario has to spray with [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]] to douse. Several [[Lava Cheep Cheep]]s will also be jumping out of the lava in the first half of the stage. In the center of the stage, there is a sprinkler players can use to refill FLUDD and a [[crate]] with a [[1-Up Mushroom]] in it.


*In Italian and Spanish, ''Corona'' means ''Crown'', essentially making this place "Crown Mountain." Also, the "corona" is the plasma atmosphere that surrounds the sun. That being said, it is very hot (hotter than the surface of the sun), making it possible that the extremely hot Corona Mountain is additionally (or perhaps instead) named after this corona, however the mountain is located on the "head" of the dolphin shaped island.
The second half of the stage has many spires coming out of the lava and the player needs to use a [[mudboat]] to move through them to the platform in the back. To propel the boat, players have to spray water in the opposite direction of where they want the boat to move, though the propulsion also takes into account where Mario is standing on the boat. If the boat crashes into something, it will sink and Mario could fall into the lava. In the center of the spires is a sprinkler that will refill FLUDD if Mario travels underneath it.  
*This volcano seems to be active.  
*If the player looks at the paths and platforms, he/she can see that there may have been a hallway along the level.
*There is an enemy attack in ''[[Super Mario RPG]]'' called [[Corona]].

Corona Mountain is the eighth and final level in Super Mario Sunshine. Corona Mountain is a volcano on Isle Delfino, located directly behind Delfino Plaza. As Isle Delfino is shaped like a dolphin, Corona Mountain is placed where the dolphin's blowhole would be. The entrance to the volcano is located behind the Shine Gate, over a couple of ledges and behind a hot spring. To enter Corona Mountain, the player must complete each of the other levels' seventh episode, which are the Shadow Mario episodes. Upon doing so, the gate blocking the entrance to the volcano will break and Delfino Plaza will become flooded. Simply entering and leaving Corona Mountain will return Delfino Plaza to normal.

"Corona" means "crown" in Italian, Spanish and Latin, and can also refer to the superhot plasma atmosphere that surrounds the sun. Because the rest of the locations of Isle Delfino have Italian names, the lava-filled volcano's allusion to the sun's heat may have merely been an afterthought or coincidence when "corona" was chosen for the mountain that crowned the "head" of the dolphin-shaped island.

History[edit]

Super Mario Sunshine[edit]

Mario traversing the first part of Corona Mountain.
Mario riding in a mud boat inside Corona Mountain.

The interior of Corona Mountain is a large pool of lava with several scattered platforms. Several of the platforms appear to be part of a broken walkway that used to lead to the back of the volcano. The first half of the volcano has large, square platforms Mario has to jump between. The platforms contain either spikes that move in and out of the platform or fire that Mario has to spray with FLUDD to douse. Several Lava Cheep Cheeps will also be jumping out of the lava in the first half of the stage. In the center of the stage, there is a sprinkler players can use to refill FLUDD and a crate with a 1-Up Mushroom in it.

The second half of the stage has many spires coming out of the lava and the player needs to use a mudboat to move through them to the platform in the back. To propel the boat, players have to spray water in the opposite direction of where they want the boat to move, though the propulsion also takes into account where Mario is standing on the boat. If the boat crashes into something, it will sink and Mario could fall into the lava. In the center of the spires is a sprinkler that will refill FLUDD if Mario travels underneath it.

At the end of Corona Mountain is a large, circular platform with a Rocket Nozzle power-up. Using the Rocket Nozzle, Mario can shoot up to the clouds above; at the top is a red cloud that will send Mario to the final boss fight when he shoots through it.
