Isle Delfino

Template:Location-infobox Isle Delfino is an vacational island resort shaped like a dolphin (alongside the smaller Pinna Island) 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.

The island reappeared in many spin-offs, such as the Mario Kart series.

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.

Trivia

File:Delfino islands.JPG

Isle Delfino and the other islands surrounding it.

• Isle Delfino is so named because it is shaped like a large dolphin, and is most likely shaped like this as a reference to the development codename of the Nintendo GameCube: "Dolphin."
• The word "delfino" means "dolphin" in Italian.
• In Super Mario Sunshine, the places found on Isle Delfino are named partly in English and partly in Italian in the English version. In other translations of the game, the names of these places are completely in Italian.
• In the introductory cutscene of the game, the player can see other islands surrounding Isle Delfino, which are shaped like a sting ray (west), a crab (southwest), a small fish (south), a sea turtle (east), and a jellyfish (northeast). These islands cannot be visited by Mario, and presumably do not have official names.
• In Super Mario Sunshine, all of Isle Delfino (except for Noki Bay) is in a constant heatwave.
• Isle Delfino, as a whole, was shortened into minor sections of Peach Beach.
• In Super Mario Sunshine, Blue Toad mentions that Yoshis lived on the island a long time ago.
