Pianta

A group of Piantas

Piantas are a fictional sapient species that live with the Nokis on Isle Delfino in the video game Super Mario Sunshine.

Piantas come in male and female forms and a variety of bright colors. They wear leaf skirts (regardless of their gender) and have little palm trees on their heads instead of hair (to protect them from the sun). Their ancestoral home on Isle Delfino is Pianta Village, but they have spread to almost every area of the island. In Delfino Plaza, there's a Grand Pianta Statue in the middle of the city.

Appearances

In addition to Super Mario Sunshine, Piantas have appeared in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. In that game, there was sort of a "Pianta mafia" led by Don Pianta in the city of Rogueport. The Piantas in the game wore suit jackets along with the obligatory skirts and spoke with stereotypical Italian-American accents.

Piantas have also appeared as audience members in other games such as Mario Power Tennis, Super Mario Strikers, Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, and Mario Kart DS, but finally made a playable appearance in Mario Superstar Baseball - although only male Piantas are playable (the playable Nokis are female).
