Super Mario 64 is superior for sure, but Sunshine still has tons of creativity put into its music and level design, as well as its gameplay which was partially made possible with the different Fludd nozzles.
I love Super Mario Sunshine in the same way that I love Halo 3: ODST, Majora's Mask and Dead Space: Extraction. They may not be the best entries in their respective series, but they excel in areas which would not have been possible if they stayed true to what we are all accustomed to.
