'''Corona Mountain''' is the final area [[Mario]] and [[FLUDD]] visit in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. The path to this area is opened after Mario and FLUDD complete episode 7 in every area. Mario and FLUDD chase [[Shadow Mario]] in episode 7. Corona Mountain is where the final showdown against [[Bowser]] and [[Bowser Jr.]] takes place. The volcano contains an area where Mario must jump accross timed spiked platorms and an area where the plumber must steer a boat to the other side of a sea of lava. Falling into the lava results in instant death. If the boat collides with anything, it will sink into the lava. Suprisingly, although the boat is made of wood, no harm will come to it if you avoid obstacles.

'''Corona Mountain''' is the eighth and final level in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. Corona Mountain is a volcano on [[Isle Delfino]], located directly behind [[Delfino Plaza]]. As Isle Delfino is shaped like a dolphin, Corona Mountain is placed where the dolphin's blowhole would be. The entrance to the volcano is located behind the [[Shine Gate]], over a couple of ledges and behind a hot spring. To enter Corona Mountain, the player must complete each of the other levels' seventh episode, which are the [[Shadow Mario]] episodes.

Corona Mountain is the eighth and final level in Super Mario Sunshine. Corona Mountain is a volcano on Isle Delfino, located directly behind Delfino Plaza. As Isle Delfino is shaped like a dolphin, Corona Mountain is placed where the dolphin's blowhole would be. The entrance to the volcano is located behind the Shine Gate, over a couple of ledges and behind a hot spring. To enter Corona Mountain, the player must complete each of the other levels' seventh episode, which are the Shadow Mario episodes.

History[edit]

Super Mario Sunshine[edit]

Mario traversing the first part of Corona Mountain.
Mario riding in a mud boat inside Corona Mountain.

The interior of Corona Mountain is a large pool of lava with several scattered platforms. Several of the platforms appear to be part of a broken walkway that used to lead to the back of the volcano. The first half of the volcano has large, square platforms Mario has to jump between. The platforms contain either spikes that move in and out of the platform or fire that Mario has to spray with FLUDD to douse. Several Lava Cheep Cheeps will also be jumping out of the lava in the first half of the stage. In the center of the stage, there is a sprinkler players can use to refill FLUDD and a crate with a 1-Up Mushroom in it.

The second half of the stage has many spires coming out of the lava and the player needs to use a mudboat to move through them to the platform in the back. To propel the boat, players have to spray water in the opposite direction of where they want the boat to move, though the propulsion also takes into account where Mario is standing on the boat. If the boat crashes into something, it will sink and Mario could fall into the lava. In the center of the spires is a sprinkler that will refill FLUDD if Mario travels underneath it.

At the end of Corona Mountain is a large, circular platform with a Rocket Nozzle power-up. Using the Rocket Nozzle, Mario can shoot up to the clouds above; at the top is a red cloud that will send Mario to the final boss fight when he shoots through it.

Episodes[edit]

The unused banner for Corona Mountain.

This location contains only the following episode. Despite this, there is an unused banner for this episode, meaning it was intended to have an episode selection; the Shine Sprite collected after the level is counted as a Shine Sprite for Delfino Plaza.

Image Episode Summary
Final battle Father and Son Shine! This episode's objective is to defeat Bowser and Bowser Jr. at the top of the mountain.

Blue Coin locations[edit]

Ten blue coins are found within Corona Mountain. One is found on the stone platform in the first half of the stage, and the other nine are found above the lava in the second half.

Mario Sports Mix[edit]

The Smash Skate game played at Fire Mountain.
Corona Mountain, named Fire Mountain, in Mario Sports Mix.

In Mario Sports Mix, the Smash Skate arena Fire Mountain is based on Corona Mountain, and its Japanese name is named after Corona Mountain itself.

Minecraft[edit]

Corona Mountain appears in the premade world for the Super Mario Mash-up in Minecraft. In this game, it is located in the Extreme Hills biome, and the end of the level section has a Music Disc.

Official description[edit]

Isle Delfino Guide Book information for Corona Mountain.

The hot spring at the foot of Isle Delfino's mountain is relaxing, but the lava caves, which open on the plaza, are forbidden for public safety.

Name[edit]

"Corona" means "crown" in Italian, Spanish and Latin, and can also refer to the superhot plasma atmosphere that surrounds the sun. Because the rest of the locations of Isle Delfino have Italian names, the lava-filled volcano's allusion to the sun's heat may have merely been an afterthought or coincidence when "corona" was chosen for the mountain that crowned the "head" of the dolphin-shaped island.

Music[edit]
