Author Topic: Il Piantissimo's Identity REVEALED! (Read 35428 times)

Lizard Dude · « **on:** March 29, 2006, 01:45:17 PM »

I saw someone mention that they went to MFGG and so I checked out the forums there and what should I discover but someone named Techokami had imported the Il Piantissimo model and removed the mask and there is actually a face under there. Prepare yourself.

It's the running man from Ocarina of Time! It all makes sense now...

Bigluigifan1.0 · « **Reply #1 on:** March 29, 2006, 02:33:00 PM »

Whoa, I need to check that place out more often, Techokami really is genius!

HolyAarom · « **Reply #2 on:** March 29, 2006, 03:56:04 PM »

I don't own Ocarina of Time, so is his voice the same in OoT as it is in SMS?

Kojinka · « **Reply #3 on:** March 29, 2006, 04:54:54 PM »

OMG! Sweet! Aren't cameos great?

The Blue Toad · « **Reply #4 on:** March 29, 2006, 05:09:24 PM »

Wow! Never saw that one coming. How brilliant, though.

Koopaslaya · « **Reply #5 on:** March 29, 2006, 05:21:25 PM »

When I was a young child, I always despised that man.

BP · « **Reply #6 on:** March 29, 2006, 10:14:17 PM »

Oh, hey! It IS the running man from OoT!! No, Aarom, he has no voice in OoT. Sneaky Nintendo... XP

Ultima Shadow · « **Reply #7 on:** March 30, 2006, 12:11:10 AM »

Whoa, what a find! Not at all like I'd expect him to look like.

Who theorized that? I thought Il Piantissimo was shorter than Mario!!

I've seen a bunch of people all over the net who were convinced Luigi was Il Piantissimo. Though it seems kinda ridiculous for Luigi to get a tan and don a mask just to outrun Mario.

PaperLuigi · « **Reply #13 on:** March 30, 2006, 06:07:02 PM »

II Piantissimo needs to die! Along with every other Pianta. Why would anyone want to be a pianta? That guy has problems.

BP · « **Reply #14 on:** March 30, 2006, 06:10:34 PM »

EXCEPT Don Pianta and the other piantas in PMTTYD. They were totally cool by me.

No way, Piantas are the men. Especially the chucksters! "I'm a chuckster!"

Kuromatsu · « **Reply #17 on:** March 31, 2006, 04:09:36 PM »

One time on the game, I got real close to II Piantissimo and looked directly upward or something, and I could see his face, but I couldn't recognize it.

Still Cool though!

Deezer · « **Reply #20 on:** April 01, 2006, 11:47:24 AM »

I doubt anyone besides the design team knows about it.

NintendoExpert89 · « **Reply #21 on:** April 02, 2006, 08:57:22 AM »

What does Il mean, anyway?

Sapphira · « **Reply #22 on:** April 02, 2006, 12:28:59 PM »

"The" in Italian. Similar to "El" in Spanish.

Vidgmchtr · « **Reply #23 on:** April 02, 2006, 01:14:13 PM »

And "Le" in French. (Pronounced "luh", not "lay". The "lay" pronunciation is used for "les".)

yoshimastar · « **Reply #24 on:** April 02, 2006, 02:01:08 PM »

Is Piantissimo a regular name or does it mean something?

BP · « **Reply #25 on:** April 02, 2006, 02:06:58 PM »

The closest thing to "Piantissimo" is "Pianissimo," which makes no sense. It means "in a soft or quiet tone."

Sapphira · « **Reply #26 on:** April 02, 2006, 02:11:58 PM »

Pianta means "plant" and -issimo means something like "very" or "more" or "super," I think. I'm not sure, though. "The Super Pianta" would make sense.

Kojinka · « **Reply #27 on:** April 02, 2006, 05:35:57 PM »

More of a Mariology obsrvartion, but if Isle Delfino actually existed, it'd probably be located near Italy.

yoshimastar · « **Reply #28 on:** April 02, 2006, 06:17:15 PM »

The think the world might have noticed it though.

Kojinka · « **Reply #29 on:** April 02, 2006, 07:50:40 PM »

As a musician, I should've noticed the 'issimo' thing! *slaps forehead*

So what about Nokis. Does Noki mean shell or something like that?

As far as I know,
Pianta=Plant
Delfino=Dolphin

Sapphira · « **Reply #30 on:** April 02, 2006, 07:57:01 PM »

Interesting translations

Khold · « **Reply #31 on:** April 02, 2006, 08:28:55 PM »

Corona is actually an english term, too. I can't remember exactly what it means, though. Something like 'red circle'.

Vidgmchtr · « **Reply #32 on:** April 03, 2006, 12:31:36 PM »

I believe Nokis are another variation of "Noko noko", shelled characters. Koopas.

dude677 · « **Reply #33 on:** April 03, 2006, 02:49:09 PM »

Also, notice the archetecture in Dolphino Square. The buildings, colors, and shapes really seem like italy, and with the canal in the middle close to noki Bay's starting point, Venice.

Has anybody been to the Portofino Bay hotel? It looks like just Delfino Plaza in Super Mario Sunshine. Note that in SMS, the music in the Plaza is kind of Italian. Also, isn't bianco an ingrediant for making certian foods?

yoshimastar · « **Reply #35 on:** April 03, 2006, 05:05:25 PM »

The boats look Italien but the music is more french.

Chupperson Weird · « **Reply #36 on:** April 03, 2006, 06:22:15 PM »

I cannot believe you guys. I'm sorry, this is just amazing.

"bianco" means "white"
"corona" in Corona Mountain probably means that it's the highest point on the island, because the word "corona" is where we get our word "crown"
As for Il Piantissimo, Sapph is at least in the ballpark. It's something probably like "the real Pianta-ish guy" because -issimo is simply an intensifier of what would logically be "pianto," but isn't.
Also, Vid is right about Nokis.
Isle Delfino is based on Italy, and that should be obvious if not from anything but the insane amount of Italian words everywhere.

Khold · « **Reply #37 on:** April 03, 2006, 07:59:58 PM »

Well, nobody will know until they have full proof of what these words actually mean. And there are a lot of different meanings for some of the words, so you don't have to argue with a %100 believed opinion when you don't have evidence or support of any kind. In a way you're doing what Yoshi55 did-- 'Forcing your opinions without any backup references'.

If I sounded insulting, I apologize. I just don't like it when people state an opinion with an unneeded remark. It just makes everybody else feel stupid.

Chupperson Weird · « **Reply #38 on:** April 03, 2006, 09:19:37 PM »

Empirical evidence is not an opinion.

Muhahaha. Maybe I'm not that big a fan of SMS, is all. The Piantas were fine by me in PMTTYD but in SMS they were just stupid. Come on, isn't it a little strange that Mario defaced the island before he got there with his eyes aglow and his body color... aswirl? A little strange? They're much better off as town-controlling gangstas.

fuzzy · « **Reply #52 on:** May 21, 2006, 12:04:48 PM »

Now the Blue Toad is also hating the Piantas by making fun of their appearance. And by the way I don't think any of the Piantas saw Shadow Mario up close, just his silouette, or shadow, hence the name.

Kojinka · « **Reply #53 on:** May 21, 2006, 12:51:43 PM »

Yeah, but they saw a BLACK blob, not a RED and BLUE blob. The Piantas in SMS had to be either colorblind or idiots to not know the difference between Mario and Shadow Mario.

The Piantas must have thought that Mario was wearing a disguise with him being all swirlly and weird-just like robbers wear disguises so nobody will know who they really are.

So, Marios faster than Link? It is impossible to beat the running man in OOT. Yet in this game you can beat him with Mario. Hmmm...

Kojinka · « **Reply #71 on:** June 11, 2007, 08:35:57 AM »

The Marathon Man ate too much Isle Delfino seafood before the races. :D

BP · « **Reply #72 on:** June 11, 2007, 02:40:09 PM »

Of course Mario's faster than Link; you try running with a big heavy shield, a big sword crafted by a giant Goron, a legendary sword, some 50 bombs, a quiver packed with arrows, a bow to go with it, a Hookshot, a pair of Iron Boots somewhere in your inventory, a pair of magical hovering boots somewhere as well, a few bottles, maybe some bombs that move on their own...
While Mario's got the clothes on his back and the water machine on his back. Which can help him move faster.

Lizard Dude · « **Reply #73 on:** June 11, 2007, 03:36:13 PM »

Mario has been proven faster than Link in Smash Bros.
