Super Marino

The Super Marino, also known as the Submarine "Marino", is a submarine owned by Captain T. Ode that appears in Paper Mario: The Origami King.

Background
As told by a Toad in Shangri-Spa, the Super Marino was originally known as the Spa Marino, and was used to take guests to Diamond Island. However, it was stolen by Captain T. Ode, and offered the submarine to King Shroomses in exchange for the king's crown. King Shroomses refused, and arranged to have Captain T. Ode captured and frozen in a block of ice underneath Scorching Sandpaper Desert.

Paper Mario: The Origami King
The Super Marino is put on display in the lobby of Musée Champignon during the game's events, and remains there until the yellow streamer is destroyed and Captain T. Ode is found. Captain T. Ode requests usage of the Super Marino, to which the museum's owner allows. With the Super Marino gone, a 1/24 scale model is put in its place.

The Super Marino is put on the back of the Sea Captain Toad's boat, where Mario can use it to dive underwater in certain spots when the player presses while out at sea. While underwater, the Super Marino can be controlled with either motion controls or with the controller's buttons. The arms on the submarine are used to grab treasure chests or break rocks on the seafloor. The Super Marino is also used to access Diamond Island, where the arms are used to insert the Diamond Key and open the entrance.
