Delfino Airstrip
Template:Location-infobox The Delfino Airstrip is where tourists first come to when visiting Isle Delfino, as this is where planes land. It is a simple landing strip built on small islets in the waters near Delfino Plaza. Travelers can reach the mainland via small boats.
History
Super Mario Sunshine
When Mario, Princess Peach, and Toadsworth landed here, the plane almost crashed since Goop was smackdab in the middle of the airstrip. When Toadsworth asked Mario to gather information about the situation, he instead found F.L.U.D.D, who proved to be invaluable in getting rid of the Goop. Peach also sees Shadow Mario at the airstrip. Mario and F.L.U.D.D then started squirting the Goop until all that was left was the center, which couldn't be cleaned away as easily. Out came a huge Piranha Plant, which Mario had to defeat by squirting into its open mouth three times with F.L.U.D.D. When the plant was beaten, all the Goop cleared away, the shining center platform rose and out came a Shine Sprite.
It wasn't until Mario defeated Bowser and Bowser Jr. that he would have come back to the Airstrip. There he would collect Red Coins and earn another Shine Sprite. Also, when he came back to the Airstrip it was covered with Strollin' Stus. Alternatively, it is possible for Mario to visit the Airstrip before defeating Bowser - the player simply has to enter Corona Mountain and leave again, and the boat to the Airstrip will be available.
