'''Il Piantissimo''' is a human disguised as a [[Pianta]] who appears in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. His name is possibly a portmanteau of "Pianta" and "-issimo" ("-est" or "very"), or specifically "pianissimo" (very soft), a {{wp|Dynamics (music)|dynamic marking}} in sheet music. The word "il" is an Italian definite article equivalent to "the." | '''Il Piantissimo''' is a human disguised as a [[Pianta]] who appears in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''.

Il Piantissimo is a character whom [[Mario]] must footrace for a [[Shine Sprite]] on three different occasions: [[Gelato Beach]]'s fifth episode, [[Il Piantissimo's Sand Sprint]]; [[Noki Bay]]'s fifth episode, [[Il Piantissimo's Surf Swim]]; and Pianta Village's second episode, [[Il Piantissimo's Crazy Climb]], effectively taking the role of [[Koopa the Quick]] from ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. Il Piantissimo can use most of Mario's moves but cannot use any tactics involving [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]]. If Il Piantissimo reaches the flag first, Mario loses a life. When the player replays a completed episode, Il Piantissimo is more difficult to beat, as he finishes the course slightly over the player's previous time.<ref>Cross-reference [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVuPYSFp1ig&t=15s this video] with [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dh3e5rZuSgg&t=33s this video]</ref> | Il Piantissimo is a character whom [[Mario]] must footrace for a [[Shine Sprite]] on three different occasions: [[Gelato Beach]]'s fifth episode, [[Il Piantissimo's Sand Sprint]]; [[Noki Bay]]'s fifth episode, [[Il Piantissimo's Surf Swim]]; and [[Pianta Village]]'s second episode, [[Il Piantissimo's Crazy Climb]], effectively taking the role of [[Koopa the Quick]] from ''[[Super Mario 64]]''.

Various locals at Pianta Village regard him as a rogue, a creep, and not related to the Piantas. | ||
If the game is beaten without all 120 Shine Sprites collected, the ending screen shows Il Piantissimo finding [[Bowser Jr.]]'s [[magic brush]] on Gelato Beach. | If the game is beaten without all 120 Shine Sprites collected, the ending screen shows Il Piantissimo finding [[Bowser Jr.]]'s [[magic brush]] on Gelato Beach. | ||
