The '''Grand Pianta Statue''' is a large statue of a [[Pianta]] on a pedestal, located directly in the middle of [[Bianco Square]] in [[Delfino Plaza]]. It appears during the game ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. When [[Mario]] first arrives at Delfino Plaza, the statue will be buried under all the brown [[Graffiti]]. After Mario and [[F.L.U.D.D.]] defeat the [[Polluted Piranha Plant]], all the goop will disappear, making the Grand Pianta Statue appear. However when it appears, [[Shadow Mario]] will be on top of it. Shadow Mario jumps off the statue, runs up to [[Princess Peach|the princess]] and kidnaps her.

After Mario chases Shadow Mario and gets the princess back, Shadow Mario paints an "M" on the statue. Shadow Mario then jumps into the "M". Mario can later jump in the M that Shadow Mario painted, any time in the game, to get to [[Bianco Hills]].

The Grand Pianta Statue also appears in [[Peach Beach]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' and in the background of [[Delfino Square]] in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' (as well as [[DS Delfino Square]] in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''). In the Delfino Plaza stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', the Grand Pianta Statue has been removed to provide a more spacious battling area.

The Grand Pianta Statue also appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' in the [[Starshine Beach Galaxy]], a galaxy based on elements from ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. This statue does not look exactly like the one in [[Delfino Plaza]] though. For example, this does not have a cloak.

==Trivia==
*The Grand Pianta Statue is similar in appearance to the large Pianta statue found near the [[Pianta Hot Spring|hot spring]] in [[Pianta Village]].
*Although [[Delfino Plaza]] makes an appearance as a stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', the Grand Pianta Statue is absent.
