Because it was not so good as M64.... I liked those bonuslevels, I wished there was a Mario game with just those levels.

Paging Miyamoto-san....WiiWare, please.

i agree this game is great! i loved it was challenging but su fun!

People didnt like this game? psssh

It was a great game, people are just jelous of mario.

It was a great game, tight controls and what not, but it just doesn't live up to the standard set by the series, as Super Mario 2 was the bastard child of the 2D era, so will SMS be remembered as such.

Personally, I hated the water pack mechanic, so un-necessary and pointless, didn't add anything to the gameplay.

same reason people hated FF12. It was a great game, but not a great Mario game. If it had starred Crash Bandicoot it would've been hailed as the triumphant return of the rodent, in a stunning amazing platformer. But it's Mario, and we've got high standards for Mario.

I enjoyed it, no doubt, but not nearly as much as I enjoyed 64 or Galaxy.

I agree. You've caught yourself in the awkward position of having your right hand in a very awkward feminine position OR you're groping yourself, hoping they'll grow into pects.

Good luck deciding, and welcome to the internet.

Because no one wants to work in a video game (unless it's harvest moon). Having to clean up the island was just stupid. But the platforming stages were you lose your stupid water pack where the pinnacle of platforming. Simply amazing.

Because I had to run around and clean stuff up.

@SHMUPGurus - You called it on to yourself with that one. Please explain how it was better than 64.

Awful camera system, lack of genre expanding innovation, water pack gimmick, poor voice acting, lame boss fights, uninteresting story and frustrating platforming sequences made Sunshine the least enjoyable 3D platformer that I have ever played. I enjoyed Mario 64 and I was hoping for a game of a similar calibur but my hopes were dashed. After about a week and nearly 10 hours of play time I sold Sunshine out of utter disappointment. BTW, when I saw the acronym SMS I expected a thread about the Sega Master System :P.
