Super Mario Sunshine takes Mario and Peach to beautiful Sunshine Island, for a much-needed vacation-- until a graffiti artist dressed like Mario goes around vandalizing the place!


User Comments about the Super Mario Sunshine

This is one of the best mario games i have ever played. The graphics are amazing, the levels are long, and the game its self is long.This game is also diffrent from the regular marios, in this game instead of getting mushrooms and other things like that you have waterguns, It might sound wierd but trust me its very fun. If you are a mario fan or if your just looking to buy a mario game defenatly check this one out.



It's brilliant, funny, creative, and fun. Let me tell you this. What can ya do. You CAN NOT put this thing down. I'm glad to see that people have still been reviewing this game recently.


I just bought a gamecube and this game. At times it seems like the game was designed to make me break my controller and buy a new one. I'm always a system behind, but I always buy Nintendo. That may very well be the genius in the game.


It's also evil, sadistic, and more than willing to make you spend 3 hours on a level that will take you 3 minutes to complete in the long run.I don't know how a game for children ended up this difficult, but I begrudgingly give it 4 stars. It's sometimes tedious, often mind numbingly repetitive, and almost always keeping your blood at a steady boil. If I hadn't grown up on Mario, and if this were the first video game I'd ever played, I would never want to play another one for the rest of my life.I concur with everything the other reviewers have said about the controls and the camera. Super Mario Sunshine is one of the most frustrating creations I've ever been invited to partake in.


You're constantly fighting the buttons to get where you already know you need to be. It's completely brilliant, and it's also the most frustrating game I've ever played in my life.


However, this game has the absolute worst camera angles of any game I've ever played. Even Devil May Cry had better camera angles than this game and you can't control the cameras in that game. You soon find out that there is a Mario lookalike (sort of a blue, watery looking Mario) running around with a paintbrush polluting everything. The graphics are good for a game of its time. It has the overall feeling of Mario 64 but doesn't quite live up to the rep of a Mario game. I'm not sure if this game is worth the $17 or $18 you'll pay in total from Amazon.


Anyway, that is my overall of the game. The plot of the game is that you (Mario) are visiting a distant land, when you are confronted by the citizens who accuse you of polluting their countryside. I purchased this game when I bought the Wii and it works really well especially with a Gamecube controller. Your water pack has the ability to be a fire hose, jet pack, rocket pack and motorboat. I think you'll derive much more enjoyment and the less frustration playing those games. Mario is sentenced to using a water canon to go around and clean everything that was ruined.


I even find it pretty annoying that I can't adjust camera controls, I'm very used to non inverted controls and this game is all about control inversion. But if you are a dedicated Mario fan go for it. Add that to the poor shadowing and you have a formula for a game where the player will constantly have to restart missions and climb sequences from falling off cliffs, not making the jump, falling into the water, falling from not being able to gauge distances, missing landings while using the je pack option, etc. The puzzles have the potential to be fun, but also incredibly frustrating. Now that the description is out of the way "Here we go.". The variety of game play is also pretty abundant.


I say just spend the money on Mario 64 and Super Mario World downloads for the Wii and play those.


Galaxy was good, Mario 64 was better, Sunshine was the best.


I do not understand anyone who would rate this game badly.


(Don't get me wrong, Galaxy was a lot of fun, but not tops on my list).


This game enthralled me for hours.


This game took me longer than Galaxy, about the same amount of time it took me to beat Mario 64.


The graphics are not as good as Galaxy, of course, but I thought that from the neat worlds down to the music was fantastic.


It was so much fun, that I have played it through two times.


Some of the stars were difficult and frustrating, but I think they were better planned out than the simpler ones found in Galaxy, though Galaxy did have a few hard ones to.


It was a lot of fun defending a hotel from a manta ray attack and running along the rooftops of Delfino Plaza, I highly recommend this game.



Plus the cameras are almost manual and only turn by themselves when you're in tight situations, usually making you die.Okay, lots of people like difficult stuff - as I do - but the difficulty of Mario Sunshine is gratuitously difficult. 'Cause please, don't give me that "experiment with the camera" babble 'cause that's just a lame excuse not to programme it properly. But this one. Don't get me wrong, I'm a Mario fan-player for a decade now, never had any grudges whatsoever with any of the games. Surely Mario does look much better than the precarious Super Mario 64 design but the game looks like a testing beta version of itself. They even say "Good Luck" during the hardest levels. But I'm not.


But where should we turn to when the controls doesn't reflect what you're doing on them onscreen. it would be easy to criticise it if I was a frustrated player who's just angry 'cause he can't finish the game. Mario Sunshine is a complete letdown for me. The graphics aren't great, the music is.


I bought this game to play on the Wii after having played Super Mario Galaxy to the bone and getting all 121 stars, which were indeed difficult and stressful to get but not at all compared to Super Mario Sunshine.The game seems rushed and not well-finished at all. It is just difficult, nothing else. For those of you who seek difficult stuff, at least make sure the controls are well-developed and do what you request of them. just there, and the gameplay ranges from funnily easy to insanely difficult. The controls are very badly-programmed and let you down MANY MANY times during difficult levels when you need them to work the most.It sounds as if Nintendo was trying to impress & forgot that a quality game indeed is very hard, yes, but has matching controlling resources that gives the player a chance to shine and well-elaborated hard levels. I did finish it but under amounts of stress, frustration and deception I never ever experienced in my life. And they should, 'cause only random luck gets you to the end.If you want a real great game, go for Super Mario Galaxy.


'Cause, seriously, it's very easy to pick any same hard level, then give you 1 min to complete it & call it a new great level to test your ability. There's no respectful elaboration at all. Where should we turn to if the camera keeps going behind an obstacle that leaves the screen with loads of very unhelpful question marks. so far.Avoid this game if you're seeking real entertainment.
