I didn't like Super Mario Sunshine (a Mario game without desert, lava, snow, etc. stages is just wrong), I think that could've been a new IP with a different/new character it just kinda felt like Mario was pasted in sometimes.
The other thing I didn't like about the GameCube was the d-pad being tiny and the Z button being awkward to press. I prefer the SNES diamond button layout as well, though the GCN one wasn't bad per se.
Also I wasn't crazy about Mario Kart Double Dash. Good game, but not enough tracks.
It was a good console, but could've been better. I preferred the N64.
Also the system looked hands down the best in platinum silver, not sure why Nintendo didn't make that the primary color for marketing reasons. Purple was OK, but it should've been a secondary color.
