No one has guessed this, so I'll reveal it - it's Super Mario Sunshine

- Not sure how all those birds have survived so long, seeing as water damages them.
Water is key to survival, yet if you shoot the birds, they turn into coins or Shines.
- If you beat 7 lots of 7, you’ll experience heavy flooding.
If you complete mission 7 (defeating Shadow Mario) on every level, Delfino Plaza will flood, and you'll have access to Corona Mountain
- Finding and keeping track of one of the collectibles can be quite a task.
A common complaint about this game is being unable to track which blue coins you have found
- The developer, often praised for their attention to little details, made sure every level felt connected to each other, as well as the central hub. It’s not unusual to be able to see one level off in the distance when you’re playing in another.
An example include Pinna Park being visible in numerous levels, including Ricco Harbour, Gelato Beach and Sirena Beach
- I don’t know why that creature suffers in water - we’ve taken him there in previous games without consequence.
If Yoshi falls in water, he will disappear, but in Super Mario World, Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Story, he was able to go in water with no problems.
- Pachinko and a poison pipeline drove some gamers mad
Two Shines that are often cited as difficult are the Pachinko machine one and the poison pipeline river where you have to collect red coins on the lily pad.
- Three of the above clues are linked by a common feature - a feature that plays a major part in this game from a popular series.
Water is the theme that links the clues - obviously playing a big part in the game
