I really liked sunshine, but I'd still say that Galaxy is better. The best 3D Mario is still 64 imo, but I'm only at 25 stars yet, so it is really too early to tell.
What I can tell, however, is that Galaxy is much more a platformer than Sunshine was. In Sunshine, there were way more puzzles and secrets to find, making it more an Action-Adventure. In Galaxy, most of the time you just have to reach a point and sometimes beat a boss there, and that's exactly what I want since it is a platformer!
You hit the nail on the head, Nintendo Fanboy, and that's one of the reasons I like Sunshine better. Sunshine, along with 64, made Mario into more than just a primitive platformer. The gameplay was much deeper and complex. Galaxy is a step backwards, in my opinion.
