Ricco Harbor is a trading port in Isle Delfino in the game Super Mario Sunshine. Mario can access Ricco Harbor after he has three Shine Sprites. The first of the hidden stages is in Ricco Tower, which can be reached by the surrounding scaffolding.
The area is on Isle Delfino's "fin", west of Delfino Plaza. The harbor has a large port built into the cliff face, where there are several buildings and construction equipment. At the end is a fruit market (vacant until Episode eight) and Ricco Harbor's Yoshi Egg. In the water are several large ships, and, depending on the episode, various yachts and personal vessels. Over the water is a vast network of catwalks and platforms for unloading and repairing. Mario meets Gooper Blooper for the first time in this level, once in the vacant market and again on the helicopter landing pad. The landing pad is where Hero leaves at the end epsiode also.
In Mario Power Tennis, Ricco Harbor is a court which has a gimmicky serve and receiving zones.
