Delfino Airstrip is the first area encountered in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', and is the place where [[F.L.U.D.D.]] is encountered as well as where the first [[Shine Sprite]] is encountered. It cannot be revisited until after the player beats [[Bowser]] and [[Bowser Jr.]] at [[Corona Mountain]] and pays ten [[coin]]s to a [[Pianta]] at [[Delfino Plaza]].
Delfino Airstrip is the first area encountered in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', and is the place where [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]] is encountered as well as where the first [[Shine Sprite]] is encountered. It cannot be revisited until after the player gains access to [[Corona Mountain]]. After entering the mountain (it is not necessary to complete it; the player may simply pause the game and select "Exit Area" to leave), the player can pay ten [[coin]]s to a [[Pianta]] at [[Delfino Plaza]] to ride a boat to the airstrip.

Delfino Airstrip only makes a small cameo in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' in the background of the [[Delfino Plaza (stage)|Delfino Plaza]] stage. The airstrip's model seems to be largely simplified from its appearance in ''Super Mario Sunshine'', in that it simply looks like a floating block in the ocean.

{{Main|Underground Theme}}
The "Delfino Airstrip" theme is an elongated arrangement of the "[[Underground Theme]]" from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' played on strings and piano backed by tropical percussion. When the player returns to the airstrip, "[[Isle Delfino (theme)|Isle Delfino]]" plays instead.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*After completing the game and going back to the airstrip, the [[Guide Book]] will display Mario's location as being in Delfino Plaza. The airstrip is considered a submap of the plaza because its 100 Coin Shine is also the same as the 100 Coin Shine for Delfino Plaza.
*After completing the game and going back to the airstrip, the [[Guide Book]] will erroneously display Mario's location as being in Delfino Plaza. The airstrip is considered a submap of the plaza because its 100 Coin Shine is also the same as the 100-Coin Shine for Delfino Plaza. The [[Blue Coin]] on the airstrip is also counted as part of Delfino Plaza's Blue Coin count.
*The music heard the first time the player is in the airstrip is a remix of the original 'Underground BGM' music from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' When the player returns to the airstrip, the Delfino Plaza music plays instead.
*Through an elaborate glitch, it is possible for Mario to have the Turbo Nozzle when playing Delfino Airstrip for the first time. If he attempts to bust down the wooden doors this way, the game crashes.<ref>"[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dkCgQxVpxw Breaking a Door Crashes Super Mario Sunshine]" BeaverThingify on YouTube.
