Chaz rates this game: 5/5Super Mario Sunshine takes place sometime after Super Mario 64 (though I wouldn't call it a direct sequel) in a tropical island retreat known as Isle Delfino. This is the first (to my knowledge) Mario title to have full voice acting, which is done quite well in my opinion.
Long story short: Bowser Jr. dirtied up the island, Mario's blamed, and you have to clean it up and save Peach. So, the story's not too great but it works, trust me (who really plays Mario games for the story?). The game has you controlling Mario in a platforming adventure, collecting Shine Sprites (this game's version of a Star) and using F.L.U.D.D. to clean the island.
The game plays a lot like Super Mario 64 and the added mechanics are very easy to grasp, making it very user-friendly. The hardest parts you'll experience are the levels without F.L.U.D.D., and they are still quite fun.
I think this game is horribly underrated, and it deserves a lot more credit than it gets from players. It's a fun platformer that looks beautiful as a bonus... there's really nothing to hate.
SushiBrawl rates this game: 5/5I enjoyed Super Mario Sunshine very much. The vastness of Isle Delfino is just incredible. It's pretty much like a basic platformer like 64 where you collect all the Shine Sprites all through out the island. You have the help of FLUDD which is a water device that helps you venture throughout the entire island and clean up the mess that Bowser Jr. has left.
HippieGamerDude rates this game: 5/5Super Mario Sunshine is a newer Mario game for the GameCube. You basically have to save the Princess from Bowser well Shadow Mario gets you in trouble with the law and makes you have to clean up the city, collect shine sprites, and go on ahuge adventure that is not easy to save Princess Peach. This is a great game if you enjoy Mario games!!!
Cezz624 rates this game: 5/5Super Mario Sunshine is about as good as Super Mario 64, it has all the charm that made SM64 great. This game though, is very underrated. People just didn't like this Mario title as musch as SM64 or Super MArio Galaxy, they say it is an "akward Mario game" and "not classic Mario enough" SMSS has all the chracteristics as SM64, so they all the mean comments? In SMSS, Mario goes on vacation to Isle Delfino with Peach. When they arrive, every one blames Mario for all the goop that's all over the city. Mario is confused as he just came to Isle Delfino. So, Mario is forced to do community service work.(clean up all the goop) But there is someone that is doing the mess and Mario is getting blammed for it, find out as you play SMSS. Overall, SMSS is an awesome game. Good story, good graphics,and great controls. SMSS is worth it, so play now.
CJ Dubé rates this game: 4/5Super Mario Sunshine is a fun game for all. It's easily the best Mario game out there, and has tons of possibilties. No matter if you're a kid, a teen, an adult or an elder, Super Mario Sunshine is the game for you. The annoying part about it is the goo seems to be poisonous and controlling F.L.U.D.D. is pretty difficult. Also, the Cataquacks are pretty frustrating as well. So you're just minding your own business, and the come flopping over and fling you in the air! I had some rage-quits. Other than that, try it now! It'll instantaneously be your favorite video game to date.
