Forums - Nintendo - Remembering Super Mario Sunshine 08/26/02

One of the best games on the Gamecube. Better than Galaxy, only slightly though. Fludd was a cool addition.

Wanna know what made Sunshine great?

the game was good except for the secret levels. those were impossible and annoying



Not to rain on anyone's parade here, but Super Mario Sunshine actually came out in July 19, 2002 in Japan. So it's actually 7 years, 1 month, & 11 days old after it came out.

Love this game! It's extremely underrated, and I'll never understand the hate.

It's a close second behind SM64 for me. My sister and her husband think its the best Mario ever.

Sunshine has the best camera of any 3d Mario game, and saying otherwise is just plain stupid.
In Super Mario 64 the camera stunk horribly, first there is always something in the way limiting how you can move the camera secondly, being stuck with c buttons instead of c stick ment you could only move the camera 90 degrees at a time. Compare that to super mario galaxy, you again are stuck with a variant of the c buttons, but this time the levels are bigger and more open compared to some of the levels in super mario 64. Also the camera has gone through some serious overhaul making it "smarter" and adjusting better compared to super mario 64.

To get back to super mario sunshine, the camera is yours to manipulate however you want to, full 360 degrees. Not to mention you can zoom so far out mario almost looks like a dot.

As for the secret levels the "classic" mario stages with the true platforming without the FLUDD, if i remember correctly i think there is a 1up mushroom if not 2 on each of those levels so as long as you get 1 atleast and then die it will be no problem. I thought those levels were the highlights of super mario sunshine.

I can understand that the location can be what some people dont like about it, i mean mario is mushroom kingdom. I however thought the paradise island theme was awesome, seeing as that snow themed places are my favorite game locations.

First let me start of by saying that Super Mario Sunshine is an excellent game for all you naysayers out there. Two, SMG>SMS. Three, the camera in Galaxy is better than Sunshine. Four, anything that has to do with astrology is awesome!
