Delfino Plaza
Template:Stage Delfino Plaza (Japanese: ドルピックタウン, Dorupikkutaun ) is a confirmed stage for Super Smash Bros. Brawl based on the main central "hub" of Super Mario Sunshine (comparable to Princess Peach's Castle in Super Mario 64). 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.
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 portal 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.
