Delfino Plaza [Edit] [Talk]

Delfino Plaza is the main location and the hub place on Isle Delfino in Super Mario Sunshine. After you collect a Shine Sprite any where in the game, you get directed right back to Delfino Plaza. The level is the largest area in the game, and consists of many different missions. The Shine Gate watches over the town though in the beginning of the game it is covered in sludge along with the two bell towers. A canal runs through the town to the sea from springs at the base of the mountain which resides directly south of Delfino Plaza. Small supply boats go in and out of the city through the canal. Once Super Mario Sunshine is completed a boat will take you back to the airstrip for 10 coins.

In the video games Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Mario Power Tennis, and Itadaki Street DS, a stage is based around Delfino Plaza.

Super Mario Sunshine

History

SMSscene — This scene takes place in Delfino Plaza.

Delfino Plaza is the hub in Super Mario Sunshine, and is the place the player will probably spend most of their time. In the game, Mario, Princess Peach and Toadsworth head to Delfino Plaza to enjoy their vacation, though the fun comes to an immediate halt in the beginning when Mario is framed by Bowser and his son Bowser Jr. for spreading goop across Delfino Plaza and its surrounding locations. The inhabitants of Delfino Isle, the Pianta's, are enraged that Mario would vandalize their home, and thus he is sentenced to clean it all up with the help of a device called F.L.U.D.D.

Mario uses his new water squirting sidekick to clean up the worlds and prove who the real culprit is. He brings peace back to the new world, saves Princess Peach from Bowser's clutches and in the end of the game manages to take a rest and enjoy his much needed vacation.

Other appearances

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, an almost exact replica of Delfino Plaza was made as a stage. A platform would bring the fighting characters to 11 distinct locations, all of which were present in Super Mario Sunshine. In Itadaki Street DS, one of the stages took place on Delfino Plaza, albeit it had a slightly different appearance that reflected that of the game. In Mario Power Tennis, the stage titled Delfino Plaza Court took place in Delfino Plaza. It featured some of the elements and characters that were present in the game such as F.L.U.D.D., Petey Piranha, and Piantas. On the boxart of Mario Power Tennis, the characters were playing in Delfino Plaza.

Super Smash Bros. series

In the Wii video game Super Smash Bros. Brawl and the Wii U game Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Delfino Plaza is a stage takes the players through a tour of the entire island, while of course fighting throughout the event. It starts on a floating platform with the island appearing in the background. Eventually it'll actually drop onto the many parts of the island, where the landscape will dramatically change, making for an original and exciting stage. There are 11 different places it will drop you off.

The two trouble Kings event

In this event, Mario must battle both Bowser and King Dedede. The name is based off an event that occurred in Super Smash Bros. Melee called Trouble King, which featured just Mario and Bowser. In cooperation mode, the second player is able to play as Kirby, and rightfully so seeing that Kirby's primary antagonist is in fact King Dedede.
