That's because you were a kid and see the GameCube through nostalgia glasses.
Mario Sunshine was a massive let down, a "Mario On Vacation" title with all tropical freaking levels (hey how about we make a Mario game with just ice levels, that'll be great ... NOT), terrible cinematics, and was clearly rushed to market as it was filled with bugs and a rushed final third of the game.
Mario 3D World is a better game and far more true Mario game than Sunshine is. Sunshine feels like a weird side-story spinoff that really Nintendo could've just made a new character and it would've worked just as well.
