| firebush03 said: Super Mario Sunshine. - Best movement (besides Odyssey) of all Mario games, despite being released only 6 years after Mario 64. - Lots of freedom in how you approach the Sprites. - Blue coins, 100 coin missions, and mystery Sprites introduced some much needed challenge in a Mario game. - The world of Mario Sunshine is among the most charming in the entire franchise, filled with various species of unusual creatures (e.g. Piantas and Nokis). Also, I believe this game is also where Bowser Jr and Petey Piranha debuted (IIRC…?). |
Glad this was the first response - it was what immediately came to mind upon seeing the topic. Definitely agree about the movement. I do see people critical of the handling in this game sometimes, but I think it's good. Also appreciate the detail they put into making it feel like a cohesive world (e.g. the way other levels are visible from the level you're currently in).
