Isle Delfino
Template:Location-infobox Isle Delfino is an island shaped like a dolphin where Piantas, Nokis, Yoshis and Tanookis live. Mario, Peach, Toadsworth and some Toads take a trip to this island in Super Mario Sunshine.
However during the game, the island is full of graffiti made by Shadow Mario who the people think is Mario. Mario, with the help of the water pack F.L.U.D.D, is forced to get rid of all the paint on the island.
All of the island (except Noki Bay) is in a heat wave (The waving motion in the distance) that you need shade from the sun to prevent yourself from being hurt.
Other Appearances
Mario Kart
Isle Delfino has appeared in three of the Mario Kart games with new courses and stages based on it. In in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, a course named Peach Beach was introduced, which took place on the shore of Isle Delfino. After the player completed a Grand Prix, the award ceremony was also held there. Mario Kart DS featured a new course called Delfino Square, of which takes place in Autumn instead of the usual tropical weather. In Mario Kart Wii, both these courses returned in the Retro cups, along with a new battle stage called Delfino Pier, which likely takes place in the docking area of Delfino Plaza. A new track named Coconut Mall is speculated to take place on Isle Delfino, since the owners of the mall are mostly Piantas.
