Delfino Plaza (Japanese: ドルピックタウン, Dorupikkutaun ; Dolphic Town in the Japanese version) is a stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl based on the game Super Mario Sunshine released for Nintendo GameCube in 2002. Players battle on a floating platform, which then drops the characters off at a certain location before picking them up again and transporting them to another location, essentially touring them around the area.
Stage history
Delfino Plaza is a town that is located in Isle Delfino and is inhabited by the Piantas. In Super Mario Sunshine, Mario, Toadsworth, and Princess Peach travel to Isle Delfino for a vacation. Upon arrival at Delfino Plaza, the whole town is covered in grafitti, and Mario was blamed for causing the mess. The Piantas arrest Mario and sentence his to clean up Isle Delfino. With the help of the F.L.U.D.D, Mario cleans up Delfino Plaza and other locations on the island. Isle Delfino in SMS serves as the central hub of the game, and links Mario to the other locations on the island. Isle Delfino appears in other Mario Spinoff games, like Mario Kart DS, where it appears as a track that the characters race on.
In the Super Smash Bros. series
Delfino Plaza appears as a default stage in Super Smash Brothers Brawl.
The battle begins on a propeller-propulsed main platform with two small transparent platforms above it and another large arching transparent platform above them. These platforms hover toward the Isle Delfino that resides in the background and the first stop is an isle to the east of the isle that has one warp pipe in the background. This isle has a round curve and one palm tree rest in the background as well. The platform will pick the fighters up again and drop them off a bit north to three grass-covered stone spires. More spires can be seen behind the action. The next stop takes the combatants to the center of the island on top of a building with varying elevation with the Shine tower shining in the background. This building contained the warp pipe that could only be unlocked by Yoshi in Sunshine. Two other stops are known, one in front of the dolphin statue and other in front of the Pianta statue, but it is unknown in what order these locations are visited.
There are a few noticeable changes in the city's terrain, marking obvious battle areas. One such difference, are the new platforms mounted on either side of the Shine Gate. The Pianta Statue in the frontal area has also been removed, probably to make for a more feasible fighting space. The city's size is also decreased, by comparing with characters in Brawl and in Super Mario Sunshine.

Trivia
- Occasionally the main platform tilts when flying over the plaza, though gravity is not affected.
- The propelled platforms have F.L.U.D.D. on them, possibly relating to the turbo nozzle in SMS.
