Bianco Hills
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 Piantas, 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.

Trivia
- Episode 1 of the level can be skipped when Mario goes right ahead to the top of the windmill, entering the fight with Petey Piranha. It is the only Episode in the game that can be skipped.
- "Bianco" is Italian for "white", so the name translates to "White Hills", which is probably making reference to the white colored houses and walls in Bianco Hills.
- The level title "Episode 5: Petey Piranha Strikes Back" comes from the movie, Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back.
