Delfino Plaza is the main hub of Isle Delfino, lying at the dolphin's nose. It is situated on the foot of Corona Mountain. The city is named for the island it is located on, and "Delfino" itself means "Dolphin" in Italian, which is both the shape of the island and the codename of the Nintendo GameCube.

Super Mario Sunshine
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 a lot 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.

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. After Mario defeats Shadow Mario in every level, Delfino Plaza is flooded by the water of Corona Mountain's caves.

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 Tanooki who will trade Shine Sprites for Blue Coins. Near it is a boat to the Delfino Airstrip (after Bowser has been beaten). Many side quests and Shine Sprite rewarding jobs are around the city.
