Why so much hatred for Super Mario Sunshine? Truth is, no matter how much you hate it, you will still enjoy it more than 99% of the other, crappy games that exist. It got a score of 92 on Metacritic, which brings it on par with Final Fantasy 7, beats any other non-Mario 3D platformer, beats New Super Mario Bros., Super Mario 64 DS, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Metroid Prime 3, and many, many other games! This isn't your typical, mediocre, Sonic Heroes, Crash Bandicoot: Wrath of Cortex, or Pac-Man World 2 platformer. This game is light years ahead of those games. The main trick is developing some skill in the game. It might seem bad at first, but the better you get at it, the more fun the game becomes. It may not seem like a Mario game, only because Mario is on another island... It's different... So what? It's still fun. Personally, I think it's better than Super Mario Land, Super Mario Land 2, New Super Mario Bros., for sure, and possibly, some of the other, better games. Come on... Give the game another chance. Just one more chance. It's Mario... You've got to love him either way...
