Delfino Plaza



Delfino Plaza is the main place where Mario and Peach go to enjoy their vacation in Super Mario Sunshine. This area is the largest city in the game, and has many services, varying from fruit stands to a Pianta Mario can pay to throw him into a building. The Shine Sprites mean alot to the Piantas that inhabit the city. There is a giant Shine Sprite icon on the Shine Gate, the main gathering spot for the Shine Sprites. Cleaning the Shine Gate will eliminate the shadow around the plaza, which moves farther away as more Sprites are collected.

When Shadow Mario scatters the Shine Sprites by dirtying the island, Delfino Plaza was cast into darkness. All the inhabitants blamed Mario, and forced him to clean the entire Isle with only his trusty water pack.

There's a large sewer system under the town, which contains Coins, 1-Ups, and Blue Coins. All the areas in the game can be accessed here, by portals, warp pipes, and even a cannon. The western side has a boathouse that makes a portal to Ricco Harbor, and inside the building is a raccon who will trade Shine Sprites for Blue Coins. Near it is a boat to the Delfino Airstrip (after Bowser has been beaten). Many sidequests and Shine Sprite rewarding jobs are around the city.
