The Beach Restaurant Piantas[1] are a married Pianta couple and the owners of the Sand Cabana and Surf Cabana on Gelato Beach in Super Mario Sunshine. The wife, an orange female Pianta, manages the Sand Cabana, but for most of the episodes, she keeps it close to play with her child (a lime male Pianta) on the beach, while the husband, a brown Pianta with a blue t-shirt and sunglasses, manages the Surf Cabana and, during Episode 8, also hosts the Watermelon Festival, with the biggest watermelon to be used for the smoothies he serves.
In Episode 1, the wife is out playing with her child, talking to Mario about the imminent hatching of the Sand Bird. The husband explains how he makes his smoothies and comments on how the Sand Cabana is closed. The child is seen peering under the Sand Cabana for a Blue Coin, explaining how to do a close-up view.
In Episode 2, the wife and the child are worried about the Sand Bird egg, but she gives a suggestion on how to deal with the Plungelos. The husband, by the pier of the Surf Cabana, watches the egg in peril as well, but he simply comments on the different types of palm trees.
In Episode 3, the Sand Cabana is still closed, but the Piantas take shelter inside from Wiggler. The husband is at the Surf Cabana, worried about his wife and child. The latter is on the Sand Cabana roof, sad that outdoor activities are suspended.
In Episode 4, the husband closes the Surf Cabana to play with his child on the slide by the tower. If spoken to, he throws Mario to the amphitheater on the hills, where his child and wife are. They are seen bickering on how the child wants to slide into the Sand Bird's hatched egg, giving Mario a hint on how to reach it.
In Episode 5, the couple is at the finish line, with the husband replacing the ukulele-playing Pianta and playing for the Doot-Doot Sisters. The wife comments how the crowd would make her money if she opens a shop by the amphitheater. The child is seen running up and down the last part of the track, saying how ridiculous Il Piantissimo looks.
In Episode 6, the wife and the child are seen walking outside the Sand Cabana, while the child is prohibited from going for a swim by the Coral Reef due to the dangerous fishes. The husband simply points out where the reef is, outside his shop.
In Episode 7, the husband is getting ready for the Watermelon Festival, while the wife is surprised by seeing two Marios running around, and the child asks if Mario is able to slice a watermelon in half.
In Episode 8, the wife opens the Sand Cabana, but she is not behind the counter, instead helping her husband host the Watermelon Festival at the Surf Cabana. She claims that, according to the rules, whoever eats watermelon with salt cannot join the contest. The husband hosts the festival and tosses the winning watermelon into the blender on the Surf Cabana rooftop, causing it to release a Shine Sprite. The child is seen playing on the beach with a child Noki, asking Mario if he would join the competition.
