'''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.

The entry to Bianco Hills requires one Shine Sprite from [[Delfino Airstrip]].


The musical theme of Bianco Hills is similar to those of [[Gelato Beach]] and [[Ricco Harbor]]. However, it is in the style of European folk music, with prominent use of clarinet, flute, and oboe, accompanied by tambourine, castanets, and harp.
