Sunshine is getting criticized way too much, because it was a great game, even if not on par with the memory of Mario 64. The only true issue was with some camera angle. The other things (the decors, the cleaning part) are just a matter of opinion. really

I am reading people talking about ambition, and Sunshine was a very ambitious game. It incorpored a brand new gameplay mecanic with the FLUDD, that quickly felt natural, in total opposition with the artificial cat gimmick shown in 3D World. Mario Sunshine featured big areas, pure 3D platforming sequences, and had overall a lot of variation and had many things to do or find, it was really packed with content.

That's completely different from the very limited scope, the "play it safe" and doing the minimum of the 3D Land/World formula. That's like comparing trying to do the best of the best and doing just enough.


I don't HATE Sunshine. You're right, it's a well made game. But like WW (to me personally), it just wasn't what I wanted from the next 3D Mario.
