The '''Delfino Airstrip''' is where tourists first come to when visiting [[Isle Delfino]], as this is where planes land. It is a simple landing strip built on small islets in the waters near Delfino Plaza. Travelers can reach the mainland via small boats.

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.

When [[Mario]], [[Princess Peach]], and [[Toadsworth]] landed here, the plane almost crashed since [[Goop]] was smackdab in the middle of the airstrip. When Toadsworth asked Mario to gather information about the situation, he instead found [[F.L.U.D.D]], who proved to be invaluable in getting rid of the Goop. Peach also sees [[Shadow Mario]] at the airstrip. Mario and F.L.U.D.D then started squirting the Goop until all that was left was the center, which couldn't be cleaned away as easily. Out came a huge [[Piranha Plant in the Generator|Piranha Plant]], which Mario had to defeat by squirting into its open mouth three times with F.L.U.D.D. When the plant was beaten, all the Goop cleared away, the shining center platform rose and out came a [[Shine Sprite]].

It wasn't until Mario defeated [[Bowser]] and [[Bowser Jr.]] that he would have come back to the Airstrip. There he would collect [[Red Coin]]s and earn another Shine Sprite. Also, when he came back to the Airstrip it was covered with [[Strollin' Stu]]s. Alternatively, it is possible for Mario to visit the Airstrip before defeating Bowser - the player simply has to enter Corona Mountain and leave again, and the boat to the Airstrip will be available.

Trivia

  • 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.
  • 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.[2]
