Pianta, Super Mario Sunshine

The Piantas are a sentient species of people found on Isle Delfino in Super Mario Sunshine. They somewhat resemble humans; however, Piantas are much larger and can have pink, green, brown, purple, red, orange, yellow, or blue skin. Piantas also have small palm tress growing out of the top of their heads, indicating that they may have evolved from tropical plants. Typically, Piantas wear grass skirts or grass dresses. Piantas are generally laid back and friendly. Beyond Super Mario Sunshine, Piantas have appeared as a recurring species in many spin-off games and also appeared in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.

History

It has been requested that this article be rewritten and expanded to include more information.

Super Mario Sunshine

In Super Mario Sunshine, Piantas share their island home with the Nokis. While the Nokis mostly live in Noki Bay, the Piantas mainly reside in Pianta Village. However, while Pianta Village is their primary home, Piantas live all over the island. Many Piantas make a living by producing and selling fruits in small markets on Delfino Plaza. Piantas love fruit, so there will always be a substantial demand for fruit in the island's economy.

Piantas are also a very strong species as they can toss Mario with ease. Mario can sometimes use this to his advantage by having a Pianta toss him to high ledges and cliffs.
