'''Gelato Beach''' is a beach part of [[Isle Delfino]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' and is located on the stomach part of the dolphin shaped island, east of [[Sirena Beach]]. It's name is likely derived from [[wikipedia:Gelato|Gelato]], the Italian word for ice cream. It is the largest and sunniest beach on Isle Delfino and also the resting place of the great Egg of the [[Sand Bird]], which is located in the Shine Tower, a stone building in the center of the beach. Large mirrors have been installed around the tower that reflect sunlight at the egg to keep it warm until it hatches. According to a local [[Pianta]], they have been doing this for a century.

'''Gelato Beach''' is a pink sand beach resort location on [[Isle Delfino]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' and is located on the “stomach” part of the dolphin shaped island, east of [[Sirena Beach]]. Its name is derived from {{wp|gelato}}, a type of Italian-style ice cream. It is the largest and sunniest beach on Isle Delfino and also the resting place of the legendary [[Sand Bird]] egg, which is located inside the [[Shine Tower]]; a large stone building in the center of the beach. Large mirrors have been installed around the tower that reflect sunlight at the egg to keep it warm until it hatches. According to a local [[Pianta]], this has been going on for a century. Gelato Beach and [[Pinna Park]] are the only levels that are not covered in [[goop]].


Gelato Beach is also notable for being the only place on the island where [[Dune Bud]]s grow, special plants that make bizarre objects rise from the sand when sprayed with water. Red and blue [[Cataquack]]s seem to have their main territory at Gelato Beach and roam great parts of the level. They leap [[Mario]] into the air on sight and can only be defeated by using the Dune Buds, or swallowing them with Yoshi. Other localities of Gelato Beach are the [[Surf Cabana]] on the end of the pier and the [[Sand Cabana]], which however is closed most of the time. A coral reef inhabited by fish swarms can be found near the Surf Cabana, and there is a great amphitheater on the hillside of the beach which overlooks the whole level, where many colored [[Bird (Super Mario Sunshine)|Birds]] gather. Several surfboards and catamaran boats are scattered across the beach, but the player is unable to interact with them.
In ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'', the [[Blooper Bay]] course seems to be based on this area.

[[File:SMS Gelato Beach.jpg|thumb|left|150px|An aerial view of the beach]]
To enter Gelato Beach the player needs at least five [[Shine Sprite]]s and has to defeat the [[Piranha Plant in the Generator|goop monster]] which swallowed [[Delfino Plaza]]'s lighthouse. After that the level becomes accessible through a [[Graffiti]].
Gelato Beach is a large beach with a number of huts and trees. [[Cataquack]]s roam the sandy areas, with blue Cataquacks on episodes 1, 2 and 4, and red Cataquacks on episodes 5-8. Many [[Dune Bud]]s are placed around the beach, and spraying them will make the area below them pop out in a sand sculpture-like shape.


Mario encounters the [[Noki]] species on this level for the first time and it is also the first level to feature [[Il Piantissimo]]. He has to battle several creatures like [[Plungelo]]s and a giant [[Wiggler (Super Mario Sunshine)|Wiggler]] here. The people are mostly busy with making preparations for the Watermelon Festival which they are eventually holding in the last Episode of the level.
The player starts on a small island just off the coast of the beach. Behind that island is another island with tall palm trees and a [[swing (Super Mario Sunshine)|swing]] attached to one of them, which will help the player reach a [[Blue Coin|blue coin]]. A [[Turbo Nozzle]] can also be found here if it is unlocked. Directly ahead of where the player starts is a hut with several pieces of fruit in it. To the left of the hut are a group of trees with one of the tower's mirrors in the center. From the center of the beach and facing the tower, there is a sandy area followed by long path to a central Amphitheatre<ref>{{cite|author=Loe, Casey|title=''Super Mario Sunshine'' Perfect Guide|page=53|date=August 12, 2002|isbn=1-931886-09-1|publisher=Versus Books}}</ref> area ahead, a fruit cabana to the left, and a peninsula to the back. Beyond the Amphitheatre is a long, broken path with many [[Rope#Tightrope|tightropes]] above it. Behind the fruit cabana is a coral reef where [[Red Coins in the Coral Reef|Episode 6]] takes place. Also during Episode 6, [[Yoshi]] can be found on the peninsula.

Gelato Beach shares the same musical theme with [[Ricco Harbor]] and [[Bianco Hills]]. However, Gelato Beach's music is arranged in the style of Trinidadian calypso, with prominent saxophone and steel drum instrumentation.

|image1=[[File:SandCastleSecretSMS.png|200px]]
The first Episode of Gelato Beach sets in with a shot of the small peninsula on the west side of the beach and pans over to a Dune Bud in front of the peninsula. Mario will find several Dune Buds across the level which cause strange effects when being sprayed with water. The special Dune Bud shown in the introduction scene makes a whole Sand Castle rise from the ground on the peninsula. The Sand Castle is not very stable however, and will collapse shortly after being summoned. If Mario manages to reach its entrance in time, he will be transported into a secret area.

|summary1=This episode's objective is to go through a secret course revealed by spraying a [[Dune Bud]].
After having entered the Sand Castle, Mario will have [[FLUDD]] taken away by [[Shadow Mario]]. The player has then to complete the following obstacle course without water-based aid. The course consists of a path made from [[Sand Block]]s which dissolve when stepped on. Mario has to hurry along the path until he reaches a great complex made form Sand Blocks. On top of the building he finds a Shine Sprite. After the player cleared this level once, Mario can take FLUDD with him when he re-enters the level and participate in a [[Red Coin]] challenge.

The second Episode opens with the camera rotating around the tower containing the Sand Bird egg and then comes to rest in a close-up of a sleeping [[Wiggler (Super Mario Sunshine)|Wiggler]] curled around the top of the tower. Right after entering the level, a Pianta will talk to him and tell him about the Wiggler, while a cutscene shows the three mirrors around the tower, infested by [[Plungelo]]s. Most people on the beach are shown worrying about how the lack of sunlight will affect the Sand Bird. Mario's objective in this Episode is to defeat all the six Plungelos in order to save the Sand Bird's egg.

|summary3=This episode's objective is to defeat [[Wiggler (Super Mario Sunshine)|Wiggler]].
Once Mario steps onto one of the mirrors, a boss battle will begin. Depending on the mirror, he has to deal with one, two, or three Plungelos simultaneously. In order to defeat them, Mario has to push them off the mirrors. However, the suckers at their feet protect them from falling off. Mario has to pus them to the mirror's edge until they lose their balance. Then he has to do a [[Ground Pound]] onto the opposite side of the mirror quickly. After Mario dispatched of all the Plungelos, the mirrors will reflect the sunlight at the tower again which causes the sleeping Wiggler to fall off. A Shine Sprite emerges after that and flies to the peninsula at the beach.

<gallery>
The Episode begins with a view from the base of one of the big mirror buildings and shows how the Wiggler from the previous Episode is rampaging at the beach. The people of Gelato Beach can either be found protecting the Dune Buds from the raging creature, or gathered inside the Sand Cabana which is surprisingly opened during this Episode. The boss battle against the Wiggler begins immediately after Mario entered the level and takes place over the whole level.

In order to defeat the giant Wiggler, Mario has to spray water at a Dune Bud when the Wiggler tramples over it. This will cause an object to rise from the sand, making the Wiggler trip and roll over onto its back. While lying on the floor, Mario can deliver a Ground Pound attack to the Wiggler's weak point. The weak point is one segment of the caterpillar's body and changes position frequently, but is always marked with an arrow. After three hits, the Wiggler dissolves into sand and releases another Shine Sprite.

===Episode 4: The Sand Bird is Born===
===Fruits===
[[Image:The_Sand_Bird_is_Born.PNG|thumb|]]
*'''[[Banana]]'''
In this Episode the legendary Sand Bird finally hatches. The introduction scene shows a rotating view around the tower in the middle of the level while showing the remains of the broken Sand Bird egg and a great hole in the tower's roof. Some people have gathered at the amphitheatre to get a better look of the situation. To reach the amphitheatre, Mario can either ascend the hill or simply talk to the juice shop owner who is waiting for his son to slide down the hill. The Pianta will mention that he is going to throw his son up again after he came down and proceeds to demonstrate this by throwing Mario up the hill. From there, Mario can slide down the hill and use the spring board platform along the way to bounce into the hole in the tower.

After entering the tower, Mario will find himself on the back of the Sand Bird which flies through a cloudy realm with stone pillars and a huge tower in the center. The air currents in this area is strong and Mario is likely to fall off the giant bird, down into a [[Abyss|Bottomless Pit]]. To complete this challenge, the player has to collect a set of eight Red Coins. Seven of these Coins are scattered across the Sand Bird's back and the player has to be careful when collecting them. The last Coin can be found on top of the giant stone tower, where the Shine Sprite will appear as well. The Sand Bird will eventually fly high enough to afford reaching the tower. Along its flight, the Sand Bird frequently tilts to the side, making it important to switch position in order to remain on the creatures back.

**Directly to the right of the Sand Cabana.

**On a tiny gorge on the easternmost side of the beach.

**On the small island southeast of the rest of the beach.
**On a cliff west of the Shine Tower. It is available beginning in Episode 4.


===Episode 5: Il Piantissimo's Sand Sprint===
===1-Up Mushrooms===
The introduction scene of the fifth Episode shows the amphitheatre at the hillside and a great flag with a Pianta emblem painted on it. Several people have gathered at that spot, including the [[Doot-Doot Sisters]]. Mario finds Il Piantissimo at the beach near the closed Sand Cabana and will be challenged to a race upon approaching him. The two of them then have to get their way up to the amphitheatre as quickly as possible. If Mario comes in first, he will be rewarded with a Shine Sprite. If he loses to Il Piantissimo, he will lose an [[Extra Life]] when talking to him at the flag. The player can evade this however, by exiting the level through the menu.
*'''Gelato Beach:'''
**Obtained by spraying a hidden spot next to the cash register in the Sand Cabana.
*'''Dune Bud Sand Castle Secret:'''
**Obtained by fully ground pounding the nail on the southwest corner of the second green platform, where the Red Switch Plate is also located.

===Episode 6: Red Coins in the Coral Reef===
==Music==
[[Image:Coralreef65.jpg|thumb|left|Mario searches the coral reef.]]
{{Main|Isle Delfino (theme)}}
This Episode's introduction cutscene shows an underwater shot of the coral reef at the west side of the beach and focusses on various colorful plants and a single Red Coin. The Episode is a Red Coin Challenge, so Mario has to collect a set of eight Red Coins to obtain another Shine Sprite. The Coins are hidden between the mazy rocks and the colorful flora of the reef, making it relatively hard to find them. Some of the Coins are even hidden inside swarms or red fish and swim along with them. From this Episode on, the player can find a [[Yoshi Egg]] at the peninsula, which can be hatched with fruit found along the beach or inside the Sand Cabana. However, Yoshi is useless in this Episode since he cannot traverse through water in this game.
The "Gelato Beach" theme is an arrangement of the "[[Isle Delfino (theme)|Isle Delfino]]" theme in the key of {{wp|C major}}, similar to the themes of [[Bianco Hills]] and [[Ricco Harbor]]. However, Gelato Beach's music is arranged in the style of {{wp|Calypso music|Trinidadian calypso}}, with prominent saxophone and steel drum instrumentation. It was composed by [[Koji Kondo]].


===Episode 7: It's Shadow Mario! After Him!===
{{media table
The seventh Episode of Gelato beach is also the Shadow Mario Episode of this level, making a successful end of this part a requirement for making [[Corona Mountain]] accessible, where the [[Bowser|final boss]] lurks. The Episode sets in with a shot from inside the Sand Cabana and zooms in on Shadow Mario at the beach, waiting for the player. Some people in this Episode are busy with preparations for the Water Melon Festival which takes place in the following Episode, while others comment on the strangeness of seeing two Marios at the same time. The player has to chase Shadow Mario through the level and spray him with enough water to make him give up. Mario will receive a Shine Sprite after that.

The Watermelon Festival, which was mentioned several times during the previous Episodes, finally takes place during this part of the level. The Episode opens with a shot of the Surf Cabana at the pier, which is now crowded with people. Giant [[Watermelon]]s are scattered across the level during this Episode, and some people are standing in front of the pier with the fruits, hoping to enter and win a contest for the biggest Watermelon on the beach. The Doot-Doot Sisters can also be found next to the contestants. In order to clear this Episode, Mario has to find the biggest Watermelon on the beach and bring it safely to the Surf Cabana by rolling them there. The prize-worthy Watermelon can be found at the amphitheatre, while the other ones found at the beach will only bring the player some coins. The player has to be careful when moving the Watermelons, since they explode when they crash into an object too hard.

Gelato Beach
Official screenshot of Gelato Beach from Super Mario Sunshine.
First appearance Super Mario Sunshine (2002)
Latest appearance Super Mario 3D All-Stars (2020)
Greater location Isle Delfino
Inhabitants Cataquacks, Cheep-Cheeps, Piantas, Nokis
“Isle Delfino is often referred to as a slice of paradise on earth. And Gelato Beach? Why, it's its most sun-kissed shore! All of the local Piantas and Nokis just love to have festivals here!”
—Noki, Super Mario Sunshine

Gelato Beach is a pink sand beach resort location on Isle Delfino in Super Mario Sunshine and is located on the “stomach” part of the dolphin shaped island, east of Sirena Beach. Its name is derived from gelato, a type of Italian-style ice cream. It is the largest and sunniest beach on Isle Delfino and also the resting place of the legendary Sand Bird egg, which is located inside the Shine Tower; a large stone building in the center of the beach. Large mirrors have been installed around the tower that reflect sunlight at the egg to keep it warm until it hatches. According to a local Pianta, this has been going on for a century. Gelato Beach and Pinna Park are the only levels that are not covered in goop.

In Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, the Blooper Bay course seems to be based on this area.

Layout[edit]

Super Mario Sunshine: Gelato Beach top-down view
An aerial view of the beach

Gelato Beach is a large beach with a number of huts and trees. Cataquacks roam the sandy areas, with blue Cataquacks on episodes 1, 2 and 4, and red Cataquacks on episodes 5-8. Many Dune Buds are placed around the beach, and spraying them will make the area below them pop out in a sand sculpture-like shape.

The player starts on a small island just off the coast of the beach. Behind that island is another island with tall palm trees and a swing attached to one of them, which will help the player reach a blue coin. A Turbo Nozzle can also be found here if it is unlocked. Directly ahead of where the player starts is a hut with several pieces of fruit in it. To the left of the hut are a group of trees with one of the tower's mirrors in the center. From the center of the beach and facing the tower, there is a sandy area followed by long path to a central Amphitheatre[1] area ahead, a fruit cabana to the left, and a peninsula to the back. Beyond the Amphitheatre is a long, broken path with many tightropes above it. Behind the fruit cabana is a coral reef where Episode 6 takes place. Also during Episode 6, Yoshi can be found on the peninsula.

Music[edit]

Main article: Isle Delfino (theme)

The "Gelato Beach" theme is an arrangement of the "Isle Delfino" theme in the key of C major, similar to the themes of Bianco Hills and Ricco Harbor. However, Gelato Beach's music is arranged in the style of Trinidadian calypso, with prominent saxophone and steel drum instrumentation. It was composed by Koji Kondo.
