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.

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.

Piantas reappear in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, where they are one of the many species living in Rogueport. Here, the attitude of the Piantas is different, and they are organized in the criminal organization known as the Pianta Syndicate, lead by Don Pianta. They have control of Rogueport's west side, and are rivaling with the Robbo Gang lead by Ishnail, who operate on the east side.

Piantas have appeared as audience members in Mario Power Tennis, Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Super Mario Strikers, Mario Kart DS, Mario Strikers Charged, Mario Hoops 3-on-3, Mario Kart Wii, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, and even Mario Tennis: Power Tour. Piantas are also playable characters in Mario Superstar Baseball and Mario Super Sluggers.

Piantas appear throughout Goomba's Booty Boardwalk in Mario Party 8. The Doot Doot Sisters dance at the beginning, but have no certain purpose. Yellow Piantas will toss the player about five to eight spaces ahead if they land on his ? Space. Blue Piantas will fish the player a piece of Candy if their ? Space is landed on. Lastly, orange females run the Candy shops.
