'''Pianta Village''' is the ancestral home of the [[Pianta]]s on [[Isle Delfino]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. It is run by the [[Pianta Village Mayor]]. It's built in a huge crater in the branches of a titanic palm tree to protect it from predators; in fact, the highest point on Isle Delfino that [[Mario]] can reach is located in this area. The village is also home to another special tree, which bears all the fruits (except the chili) of Isle Delfino.

'''Pianta Village''' is the ancestral home of the [[Pianta]]s on [[Isle Delfino]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. It is run by the [[Pianta mayor]] and appears to be built on a giant tree. Players can get a small glimpse of [[Noki Bay]] if the player climbs to the top of the large palm tree in the center of the village, or the top of the tree that [[Il Piantissimo]]'s finish line is on. As such, Pianta Village is the only location where Noki Bay can be seen from the outside.


The village's underside is composed of giant, bouncy mushrooms. The underside's ceiling is made of bamboo platforms, mesh, and catwalks. [[Wind Duppy|Wind Duppies]] are also lurking down there. It's very tricky, because one slip up and Mario falls into the abyss below. A secret area is found in the underside, which is covered with yellow [[Goop]]. Mario has to bring a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] here to get the Goop off. Surprisingly, [[Pianta]]s (all of which are [[Chuckster]]s except for one) live in the secret area of the underside.
In order for Mario to travel to Pianta Village, he will need to have the [[Rocket Nozzle]], which is obtainable in [[Delfino Plaza]] after at least thirty [[Shine Sprite]]s have been collected. The red [[Warp Pipe]] on top of the [[Shine Gate]] leads to Pianta Village. However, it can be reached by using [[Triple Jump]]s, [[Spin Jump]]s, or [[Somersault]]s with a [[Wall Jump]] and the [[F.L.U.D.D.#Hover Nozzle|Hover Nozzle]] from the [[Shine Gate]] as early as the first visit to Delfino Plaza, although Episode 5 will be impossible to complete in the intended way until [[Yoshi]] is unlocked, and the short cutscene involving entering the pipe may not play. It is notably the only area without a boss battle in the game.


In order for Mario to travel to Pianta Village, he will need to have the [[Rocket Nozzle]] and at least thirty [[Shine Sprite]]s. Mario starts out on a ledge of the crater, to get to the village Mario must cross a bamboo bridge or jump off onto the mushrooms. On the village side of the bridge is a [[Bee]]s' nest, and sometimes a [[Yoshi Egg]]. This level is unique in that the time changes between day and night. Odd-numbered episodes take place at night, while even-numbered episodes are during the day. The Piantas are awaiting the Fluff Festival, which draws nearer each episode, and finally takes place in Episode 8.

Pianta Village is built on a huge crater in the branches of a titanic palm tree to protect it from predators; in fact, the highest point on Isle Delfino that [[Mario]] can reach is located in this area, atop one of the giant trees. The village is also home to another special tree, which bears all the fruits (except the [[Pepper]]) of Isle Delfino. The player will start at the end of a bridge, and crossing it will lead into the village itself. During some episodes, [[Wind Spirit]]s will appear as Mario crosses. The village consists of many square structures and giant [[Mushroom Platform]]s. There are many ledges within the village and a large tree is growing out of the center. In the back of the village is a large spa.

|image1=[[File:Chain Chomplets Unchained.png|200px]]
In the first mission for Pianta Village, Mario will enter the stage and notice some angry [[Pianta]]s. When he talks to them, they will explain to him about the [[Chain Chomplets]], who have a high fever and are red-hot with rage, causing chaos in the village. Mario needs to cool them down by squirting water at them with [[F.L.U.D.D.]], while avoiding the fiery goop they leave behind. When they have cooled down, Mario will have to grab their tail and pull it back, then let go of them so they can fling in a certain direction. Mario must keep on leading them to the lake, where they can cool down and turn white, but if he is too slow, the Chomplet will fire up again. Once they are all in the water, Mario will be awarded with a [[Shine Sprite]].

In the second episode, Mario will go see Il Piantissimo at the end of the bridge. He will challenge Mario in a race to the flag on the hot spring's big tree. When Mario accepts the offer, both racers will run to the northwest side of the village, avoiding obstacles. Near the hot spring is a large tree. They must travel up it quickly and turn right, where the flag is. If Mario beats Il Piantissimo, he will be awarded with a Shine Sprite. This is the last race with Il Piantissimo.

The entire village is covered in [[Graffiti#Lava Graffiti|magma]], and the mayor is stranded. [[Shadow Mario]] steals F.L.U.D.D. from Mario and he must re-obtain F.L.U.D.D., by traversing the much more dangerous underside of the tree and rescue the mayor. If the player revisits this level, Mario will still get F.L.U.D.D taken away.

===Episode 4: Chain Chomp's Bath===

[[Image:Chain_Chomp's_Bath.PNG|thumb|]]
*'''[[Hover Nozzle]]'''
In this episode, Mario will, once again, see that it is chaos in Pianta Village, as yet another [[Chain Chomp]] is red-hot with rage because it didn't want to take a bath. But this time, the Chomp is much larger. Mario will have to cool it down by spraying it with his robot partner, F.L.U.D.D. Once the Chain Chomp turns back to its normal color, Mario can grab the chain on it and pull it, avoiding the red goop and without getting burnt. Unlike the Chain Chomplets, the larger Chain Chomp can be dragged to the right destination, instead of being flung. Mario must quickly pull the Chomp into the hot springs that is northwest of the village to cool down, but if he is too slow, the Chain Chomp will fire up again. Once the Chain Chomp is in the springs, Mario will be awarded with the episode's Shine Sprite.

*'''Pianta Village:'''
The player will find a Yoshi egg at the front of the bridge that will request a random fruit, using the tree that grows all the fruits, (except chili peppers) the player will take the fruit to Yoshi. They will then go to the underside of the village, and find a flat, green mushroom with a hole covered with [[Goop]], and using Yoshi's juice, the player will fall in the hole. Once there, [[Shadow Mario]] will steal Mario's F.L.U.D.D., and there will be a level made up of green blocks. This level is flooded with [[Chuckster]]s, which are Piantas that throw Mario. Mario must talk to them in the opposite of the direction that he wants to be thrown to access several platforms; however, he must take note that each Chuckster can only throw him a specific distance. In addition, some of them move, making placement and timing important. There is also a Pianta on fire that the player can douse if they come to the level a second time. After being "chucked" by all the chucksters in the right direction, Mario will receive the Shine Sprite.

*The game's files contain an unused variation of the Pianta Hot Springs theme with drums, which play while riding a Yoshi.

Pianta Village is different in that the entire village is suspended by three giant trees over a giant bottomless pit.

Pianta, Super Mario Sunshine

Pianta Village is the ancestral home of the Piantas on Isle Delfino in Super Mario Sunshine. It is run by the Pianta mayor and appears to be built on a giant tree. Players can get a small glimpse of Noki Bay if the player climbs to the top of the large palm tree in the center of the village, or the top of the tree that Il Piantissimo's finish line is on. As such, Pianta Village is the only location where Noki Bay can be seen from the outside.

In order for Mario to travel to Pianta Village, he will need to have the Rocket Nozzle, which is obtainable in Delfino Plaza after at least thirty Shine Sprites have been collected. The red Warp Pipe on top of the Shine Gate leads to Pianta Village. However, it can be reached by using Triple Jumps, Spin Jumps, or Somersaults with a Wall Jump and the Hover Nozzle from the Shine Gate as early as the first visit to Delfino Plaza, although Episode 5 will be impossible to complete in the intended way until Yoshi is unlocked, and the short cutscene involving entering the pipe may not play. It is notably the only area without a boss battle in the game.

Layout[edit]

Pianta Village
View of Pianta Village during Fluff Festival Coin Hunt

Pianta Village is built on a huge crater in the branches of a titanic palm tree to protect it from predators; in fact, the highest point on Isle Delfino that Mario can reach is located in this area, atop one of the giant trees. The village is also home to another special tree, which bears all the fruits (except the Pepper) of Isle Delfino. The player will start at the end of a bridge, and crossing it will lead into the village itself. During some episodes, Wind Spirits will appear as Mario crosses. The village consists of many square structures and giant Mushroom Platforms. There are many ledges within the village and a large tree is growing out of the center. In the back of the village is a large spa.

The village's underside is composed of more mushrooms, including a Jump Mushroom. The ceiling in this area is made of bamboo platforms, bamboo screens, and catwalks. Wind Spirits are also lurking down there, and will attempt to attack Mario if he is nearby.

This level is unique in that the time changes between day and night. Odd-numbered episodes take place at night, while even-numbered episodes are during the day.

Trivia[edit]

  • This area can be entered during the flood in Delfino Plaza if the player exploits good platforming on the Shine Gate. This makes it one of the two only locations reachable during this event (the other being Sirena Beach).
  • An alternate version of the Pianta Village soundtrack featuring slightly different instrumentation (known as the Pianta Village Nighttime theme) exists in the game's coding.[1]
  • The game's files contain an unused variation of the Pianta Hot Springs theme with drums, which play while riding a Yoshi.
  • This is one of only two worlds in the game with a pit. The other, 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. Pianta Village is different in that the entire village is suspended by three giant trees over a giant bottomless pit.
