{{quote|Leisure is a big part of life, [[Mario|my boy]]! But so's work! It's about time for me to head for home in my private helicopter. As for you, you keep up the good work. You're a spunky one!|Captain|Super Mario Sunshine}}

The '''captain'''<ref>"''You must raise the captain's submarine in Episode 1 from the goop.''" Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 75.</ref> is a [[Pianta]] who appears to be the boss of the sailors and workers at [[Ricco Harbor]]. In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', he appears at a different area of Ricco Harbor in each episode set there.

When [[Gooper Blooper]] returns to Ricco Harbor to cause more trouble in [[Gooper Blooper Returns|Episode 5]], the captain sends [[Mario]] to dispose of it while he waits from a safe distance. Later, in [[Red Coins on the Water|Episode 6]], the captain takes all the credit for defeating Gooper Blooper, causing an overly gullible worker to call him a hero.

The captain can also be found at [[Gelato Beach]], but in only three episodes. He is first seen at the smoothie bar in the [[Surf Cabana]], where he asks Mario, "''Haven't we met somewhere before? So familiar...''" and then encourages him to defeat [[Wiggler (Super Mario Sunshine)|Wiggler]]. He later shows up as one of the spectators waiting at the finish line for the race with [[Il Piantissimo]], and the captain participates in the [[watermelon]] contest during the Watermelon Festival. Apparently, he tricks one of the other contestants into switching watermelons with him.
