'''Noki Bay''' is one of the areas of [[Isle Delfino]], the main setting of ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. Noki Bay is located at the north behind the island's "dorsal fin." As the name implies, this area is a home to the [[Noki]]s. In order to access Noki Bay, the player has to have collected at least twenty [[Shine Sprite]]s. Doing so causes a column of light to appear at the pier of [[Delfino Plaza]], and staring up into it transports [[Mario]] to Noki Bay, similar to the method used when entering the [[Tower of the Wing Cap]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''.


'''Noki Bay''' is one of the areas of [[Isle Delfino]], the main setting of the [[GameCube]] game ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. Noki Bay is located at the north behind the islands "dorsal fin". The [[Noki]] live here in the platforms floating in the bay. The structures have shells on them, possibly because the Noki's carry shells on their backs. Many small square pictures on the cliffs can be pushed in when sprayed, revealing a secret alocve. They are actually switches hidding several hidden tunnels and [[Blue Coin]]s. The picture switches have 6 differnt designs on them, the blank ones making it 7.
Noki Bay is notable for having by far the fewest interactive friendly characters of any major area in ''Super Mario Sunshine''. Throughout all of Noki Bay's episodes, the only characters who Mario can talk to are the [[Noki elder]], his [[Noki grandson|grandson]], the grandson's wife (who also carries their infant child), and the [[Raccoon]] who runs the [[mudboat]] rental shop. However, many more friendly Nokis appear in the underwater city in Episode 8, but they cannot be spoken to. Noki Bay is also the only area in the game that cannot be clearly seen from any other location. As such, [[Corona Mountain]] is the only other location that can be seen from Noki Bay. If a player in [[Pianta Village]] makes their way to the top of the tree next to the spa, it is possible to see the area where Gooper Blooper is fought in Episode 2 and the wall that the path up to the area's waterfall rests on, but no other parts of the stage are visible or modeled.


An old Noki fisherman and his grandson will help [[Mario]] throughout the levels, giving him a diving helmet and tips. [[Gooper Blooper]] makes a return here at one of the cliffs peaks. He's blocking a hole to a room for the ancient Noki kings tombs. Several Noki shells are on the walls, as are two large jugs that hold a Blue Coin each.
==Layout==
[[File:SMS Noki Bay Episode 1 Intro.png|thumb|left|Noki Bay, during the period when the water was polluted.]]
Noki Bay has several platforms along the mountain and large pillar-like structures rising out of the water. The pillars have large shells at the top, with one leading to [[The Shell's Secret|a secret course]], and the pillars are connected together by [[rope]]s. Before completing [[Eely-Mouth's Dentist|Episode 4]], the water in the bay is [[Slimy water|polluted]] and will damage Mario if he tries to swim in it. In several of the episodes, there are a number of platforms floating in the water, with some being trampolines.  


Noki Bay is one of the most beautiful locations on the island, with crystal clear water and mysterious, old ruins. It is here that [[Eely Mouth|Eely Mouth's]] gingivitis has polluted the waters. The eel is in a huge underwater chamber that can be reached by a large waterfall.
Directly ahead of where the player starts is a large cliff-side with many platforms leading up it. Mario has to make use of [[Lift]]s and [[Wall Jump]]s in order to progress upward. During the [[Uncork the Waterfall|first episode]], many of the platforms are covered by [[goop]], and washing away the [[graffiti]] on the walls will cause the platforms to reappear. At the top of all the platforms is a hole where a large waterfall is flowing out of. At the bottom of the waterfall is a large cavern where Episodes 4 and [[The Red Coin Fish|8]] take place.


To unlock Noki Bay, you only need 20 Shine Sprites.
To the left of the players starting point is a coastal area where a large ruin is embedded in the cliff. Placed along the cliff are several [[wall painting]]s that will recede into the wall and reveal a path when sprayed. At the base of the cliff and along the coast is a Boat Rental shop run by a Raccoon, who according to a nearby [[sign]] charges 90,000 [[coin]]s for his rentals. In the first episode, the shop's mudboat is adrift due to the waterfall being clogged, but in later episodes, the raccoon allows Mario to use the boat for free. After Mario cleans Eely Mouth's teeth and the bay's water is clear again, the raccoon thanks Mario for cleaning the bay.

Noki Bay

First appearance Super Mario Sunshine (2002)
Latest appearance Super Mario 3D All-Stars (2020)
Greater location Isle Delfino
Inhabitants Nokis, Raccoon, Cheep-Cheeps
“This bay actually contains the tomb of an ancient Noki king! When you spray water on the wall paintings, a path usually opens. It's almost like magic!”
—Noki elder, Super Mario Sunshine

Noki Bay is one of the areas of Isle Delfino, the main setting of Super Mario Sunshine. Noki Bay is located at the north behind the island's "dorsal fin." As the name implies, this area is a home to the Nokis. In order to access Noki Bay, the player has to have collected at least twenty Shine Sprites. Doing so causes a column of light to appear at the pier of Delfino Plaza, and staring up into it transports Mario to Noki Bay, similar to the method used when entering the Tower of the Wing Cap in Super Mario 64.

Noki Bay is notable for having by far the fewest interactive friendly characters of any major area in Super Mario Sunshine. Throughout all of Noki Bay's episodes, the only characters who Mario can talk to are the Noki elder, his grandson, the grandson's wife (who also carries their infant child), and the Raccoon who runs the mudboat rental shop. However, many more friendly Nokis appear in the underwater city in Episode 8, but they cannot be spoken to. Noki Bay is also the only area in the game that cannot be clearly seen from any other location. As such, Corona Mountain is the only other location that can be seen from Noki Bay. If a player in Pianta Village makes their way to the top of the tree next to the spa, it is possible to see the area where Gooper Blooper is fought in Episode 2 and the wall that the path up to the area's waterfall rests on, but no other parts of the stage are visible or modeled.

Layout[edit]

Noki Bay
Noki Bay, during the period when the water was polluted.

Noki Bay has several platforms along the mountain and large pillar-like structures rising out of the water. The pillars have large shells at the top, with one leading to a secret course, and the pillars are connected together by ropes. Before completing Episode 4, the water in the bay is polluted and will damage Mario if he tries to swim in it. In several of the episodes, there are a number of platforms floating in the water, with some being trampolines.

Directly ahead of where the player starts is a large cliff-side with many platforms leading up it. Mario has to make use of Lifts and Wall Jumps in order to progress upward. During the first episode, many of the platforms are covered by goop, and washing away the graffiti on the walls will cause the platforms to reappear. At the top of all the platforms is a hole where a large waterfall is flowing out of. At the bottom of the waterfall is a large cavern where Episodes 4 and 8 take place.

To the left of the players starting point is a coastal area where a large ruin is embedded in the cliff. Placed along the cliff are several wall paintings that will recede into the wall and reveal a path when sprayed. At the base of the cliff and along the coast is a Boat Rental shop run by a Raccoon, who according to a nearby sign charges 90,000 coins for his rentals. In the first episode, the shop's mudboat is adrift due to the waterfall being clogged, but in later episodes, the raccoon allows Mario to use the boat for free. After Mario cleans Eely Mouth's teeth and the bay's water is clear again, the raccoon thanks Mario for cleaning the bay.
