The hotel manager,[1][2] also called the hotel proprietor[3] or simply the manager,[4] is a white-mustached, pink Pianta that manages Hotel Delfino, along with two small huts, on Sirena Beach in Super Mario Sunshine. The first time Mario has to help the hotel manager is in Sirena Beach's first episode, when the Manta engulfs Sirena Beach in electric goop. Throughout the remaining episodes, the hotel manager encounters a number of other issues, and he enlists the help of Mario each time. Said problems range from Boos haunting various parts of Hotel Delfino to Shadow Mario running amok in the hotel. The hotel manager is not always exactly forthcoming, sometimes requesting Mario's help in indirect or roundabout ways, but he is nonetheless always appreciative of Mario's assistance. The hotel manager is the only Pianta who wears shoes.
In the Versus Books guide, the hotel manager is referred to as the Mayor,[5] which is shared with another character.[6][7]
In the Super Mario Mash-up in Minecraft, Blacksmith Villagers are replaced by the hotel manager.
