Pianta Hot Spring: Difference between revisions

The '''Pianta Hot Spring'''<ref>{{refquote|Oh, I'm so sorry! Pianta Hot Spring isn't open at night.|Pianta|Super Mario Sunshine}}</ref> is a relaxing sauna in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', located on the northwest end of [[Pianta Village]] near two massive palm trees. The hot spring consists of a large platform made entirely of white stones, inside of which is small circular spa-like basin built into the ground, and the upper half of a large [[Pianta]] statue similar in appearance to the [[Grand Pianta Statue]]. The water that the Pianta Hot Spring is filled with comes from the nose of the statue. The hot spring closes at night, at which time the entrance is closed off by a log fence and the water is drained out of it. At midday, the water is directed back to the hot spring and heated up<ref>{{refquote|At midday, we direct the water here and heat it up. Ahhhhhh!|Pianta|Super Mario Sunshine}}</ref>. At night, when it is empty, [[Mario]] can [[Ground Pound]] the hot spring's basin or the nose of the statue to release many [[coin]]s. The hot spring plays a notable role in Episode 4 of Pianta Village, "[[Pianta Village#Episode 4: Chain Chomp's Bath|Chain Chomp's Bath]]," where Mario must lure a raging, overheated [[Chain Chomp]] into the hot spring to cool it down and release a [[Shine Sprite]].

==Trivia==

*After the player has defeated [[Bowser]] and [[Bowser Jr.]] in [[Corona Mountain]], [[Peach]] and [[F.L.U.D.D.]] can be seen relaxing in the Pianta Hot Spring in one of the pictures shown during the credits of the game.

*If the player collects 100 [[coin]]s in [[Pianta Village]], the hidden [[Shine Sprite]] that appears will always be positioned so that it is hovering over the right hand of the large [[Pianta]] statue in the Pianta Hot Spring.
