Void levels were the best thing about Sunshine. I liked Fludd too, and the more jungle gym-ish levels. But ugh, the blue coins. :/

30 coins per stage, if I remember correctly.  If you want to get all of them, just make a list of all the levels and add a tally each time you get one.  The game should do this for you, but if wishes were wings...I'd turn into a transformer!

Sunshine was superb. Blue coins where a nice challenge, I liked that.

For me Super Mario Sunshine > Super Mario Galaxy.

Why is that?

I prefer Sunshines Beach-Like hawaii style over mario galaxy's... galaxy style.

I thought it might be because Galaxy had more small landmasses.  I like the tropical style of Mario Sunshine too, though there are a couple stages I really don't like.

You got all with the Penguins in the Beach Bowl Galaxy or the Sea Slide Galaxy!

Actually, these were some of my favorite levels in Galaxy.  Sea Slide especially.

What do you want finally for Nintendo? Create a HD console and lose again the war console but get much more stuff for core gamers?

Gamecube was a great failure for Nintendo and it got tons and TONS of 1st party titles. Why should they do the same thing with the Wii if now they have success? If you're not happy with your Wii, don't play it, then wait 'til end of 2010 and come back to see what's going on.

Super Mario Galaxy is the best Mario game ever and one of the highest rated game and it's on the Wii, not on the Gamecube. Wait until beginning of 2010 and you will have the sequel of the best Mario game ever.

Why are you under the impression that the Gamecube was a failure?

lol, people assume that since the GCN didn't sell as many units as the PS2, that it is a failure.  They don't have the knowledge to know that Nintendo made lots of profits off the system.

I think people like that are people who were upset that GCN didn't have Grand Theft Auto or Halo.

@Senlis, most likely. I can't believe how many people think that the GC almost put Nintendo out of business for example, it's ridiculous...

Oh no really not! I didn't mean it was a failure because of it didn't have GTA or Halo! I'm a huge fan of Nintendo and never bought GTA or Halo... I only own a Wii and a DSi system and both can give you tons of experiences.

I meant, in terms of sales, the GCN was obviously the last one. If Nintendo made benefit on it, good.

In 2005, many Sony fans were thinking the PSP would crush the DS.... HA HA ha... Now the DS is going to break the PS2 record and also surpass the PSP that is the last one... Nintendo will not die.

Well, in pure sales numbers, yeah, but you know Nintendo made roughly as much profit as Sony did last gen, right? So if we're going by profits, Nintendo did great.
