Pianta Village

Pianta Village is the seventh course in Super Mario Sunshine. It is located on top of the Shine Gate in Delfino Plaza, generally only reachable using the Rocket Nozzle. Mario must go down a Pipe to get there. As the name suggests, this village is home to only Piantas. Throughout each episode, the village changes from day to night.

No.	Image	Episode name 	Time of day	Description
1 	 	Chain Chomplets Unchained 	Night 	Mario sees three small Chain Chomplets wandering around unleashed, steaming hot, and leaving fiery goop around. So stop them, he must spray the Chain Complets with water, and then pull back on their tail. He must aim the Chomps at a small spring where the grandpa Pianta sits, and release them. After dunking all three of the Chomps in the water, Mario receives his Shine Sprite.
2 	 	Il Piantissimo's Crazy Race 	Day 	Il Piantissimo is back a third time to challenge Mario to a race, this time to a flag on a platform hanging from the side of a giant palm tree near the springs. Mario must race II Piantissimo, following a trail of signs being held up by Pianta women. Successfully beating him in the race earns Mario a Shine Sprite.
3 	 	The Goopy Inferno 	Night 	While traveling to the village, Shadow Mario steals F.L.U.D.D. off Mario's back. When Mario arrives, he sees the entire village has been covered in fiery goop. Mario must retrieve F.L.U.D.D. who is on top a platform next to the Golden Mushroom. Mario must find away to spray the goop with water, without using F.L.U.D.D. After Mario has figured out a way to do this, he can hop up the platforms, retrieve F.L.U.D.D., spray the Mayor with water so he isn't covered in goop anymore, and retrieve the Shine Sprite.
4 	 	Chain Chomp's Bath 	Day 	Mario sees a giant fiery Chain Chomp that's hooked up to a peg in the ground. The Mayors says the Chomp needs a bath, hinting how to defeat it. Mario must unhook the Chain Chomp from its peg,  causing it to hop around the entire village. Mario needs to pick up the barrels of water, and throw them at the Chain Chomp, causing the fire to go away. Mario then needs to quickly grab the chain on the back of the Chain Chomp and drag him to the Hot Springs. After he cools him down in the bath, the Chain Chomp turns gold, and Mario gets a Shine Sprite.
5 	 	Secret of the Village Underside	Night 	At the end of the bridge at the start of the level, there is a Yoshi Egg that will be thinking about a random fruit. Mario must go to the fruit tree, pick up the fruit and bring it back to the Yoshi egg. Mario can now ride on Yoshi, and must bounce on the mushrooms underneath the village. One mushroom has a yellow goop-like ribbon over it, which Yoshi can destroy with his juice. When going down the hole, there will be a random series of platforms and Piantas. Mario must talk to them, and get thrown onto the various platforms. If aimed correctly, Mario will be thrown to a platform leading to the Shine Sprite.
6 	 	Piantas in Need 	Day 	This episode takes place in the daytime. When Mario arrives the Mayor is in panic. It turns out ten Pianta villagers have been trapped in fiery goop, and have sunken down inside of it.

8 	 	Fluff Festival Coin Hunt 	Day 	Mario must find eight red coins around Pianta Village. After collecting all the eight red coins, a Shine Sprite appears on top of the giant palm tree in the middle of the village. Only one way is possible to get up there, so you must find it. Mario must grab onto a giant piece of fluff and ride all the way up to the top of the tree. You must time it perfectly, or Mario will fall off and die. The Shine Sprite is at the top of the tree.

==Trivia==
*This is the only course where the Sunglasses vendor does not appear, although talking to the yellow Pianta wearing sunglasses during the daytime episodes will serve the same purpose.
*This is the only area that has the fiery goop. The fiery goop only hurts Mario, not the Piantas.
*The reason the Piantas have built this village in a tree is because it is said there are jungle beasts below.
*From the top of the large tree in the center of the village, you can see a glimpse of Noki Bay.
*Pianta Village is the only level in Super Mario Sunshine to not contain a single boss.
* It is possible to enter this level without the Rocket Nozzle. Climb to the top of the Shine Sprite Gate, make a triple jump off the edge of the catwalk (can be done from either direction but it is easier to time the jumps by facing towards Delfino Plaza), then hover and reverse direction towards the edge of the top of the structure and grab hold to pull Mario up. The first four Shine objectives can be completed here before it becomes necessary to have Yoshi. It can also be done by using a Yoshi by jumping out of the manhole and getting onto the edge of the Shine Gate since his gravity is lower than Mario's.
