The Noki Elder is a helpful, fish-loving Noki who lives in Noki Bay and helps Mario during the events of Super Mario Sunshine. He meets Mario and FlUUD when they first come to Noki Bay, and explain that the water of the bay has been polluted and fishing has become impossible. He tells them that the waterfall which brings clear water to Noki Bay has been corked, and shows them the Monty Mole who he claims did it. He begs Mario to travel to the top of the waterfall and uncork it. Mario does this, but the water is still polluted. The Noki Elder continues to try to find a way to clear the water, which involve sending Mario to fight Gooper Blooper and travel underwater to battle Eely Mouth. After the defeat of Eely Mouth, the water is clean once again. The Noki Elder continues to give Mario hints throughout the rest of the Noki Bay missions, and after the eventual defeat of Bowser and Bowser Jr., can be seen celebrating in Delfino Plaza.

The Noki Elder has a grandson who can usually be found in Noki Bay as well.
