Sunshine was awful compared to 64, i mean the whole water gun contraption should have been used in like one part of the game or something, using it the whole time made it lame. Also, come on Mario 64 had some amazing worlds in it, it had better music and for the time it was a revolutionary game really (one of the first 3d games and the first 3d mario). I was just all around disappointed by Sunshine, but Galaxy from everything I've seen is a return to form and you are mostly Mario on his own jumping and hitting stuff without any of the overkill that Sunshine had. Also putting it in Space and how you go from planet to planet and how you walk around over the surgace of the planets makes me think this might be the Mario to best 64...

I never played Mario 64, so maybe you're right.  When you compare the two, Sunshine may be nothing compared to Mario 64.  However, in its own right Shunshine is a great game, and in many ways reminded me a lot of playing Mario on the NES and SNES.  It along with Windwaker got me back into gaming.
