Pianta

A Pianta is a person in Super Mario Sunshine. Most piantas try to chuck Mario in order for him to get a boost and/or to get out of the way (most chucksters appear in episode 5 of Pianta Village). In Delfino Plaza, a female Pianta may have a basket that carries fruit next to her. If Mario helps her out by placing three of the fruits she wants/needs in the basket. Mario will recieve a Blue Coin (if for the first time). The next time Mario helps her out, she'll give him a 1-Up Mushroom. There are also sunglasses piantas that give off a sunglasses if Mario collects 30 Shine Sprites. If the player completes the game, the pianta will also give Mario a tropical shirt. There are also children piantas.
