Bianco Hills



Bianco Hills is a hilly, countryside region in the center of Isle Delfino, found northwest of Delfino Plaza, and it can be entered through the Pianta Statue in Delfino Plaza, once the player has collected at least one Shine Sprite. It consists of the Windmill Village inhabited by Piantas, the upper hilly area, and a large lake. The centerpiece of this area is the very large windmill, which is located at the end of the lake. During Mario's travels to Isle Delfino, much of Bianco Hills was, like other regions of Isle Delfino, covered in Goop. Of course, Mario got rid of the nasty graffiti with F.L.U.D.D. Bianco Hills is where Mario also first battled the infamous Petey Piranha – first they battle inside of the windmill, the next time they fight in the village. The name Bianco Hills contains the term "bianco" which is Italian for "white". The name od the level can be translated to "White Hills" like that, which probably is a reference to the white colored houses, walls, and roads found in the level.

The musical theme of Bianco Hills is similar to those of Gelato Beach and Ricco Harbor. However, it is in the style of European folk music, with prominent use of clarinet, flute, and oboe, accompanied by tambourine, castanets, and harp.
