Summary

Super Mario Sunshine is a Mario action-adventure 3D platformer. It follows Super Mario 64, and is the second 3D Mario platformer. Gameplay features a combination of action and puzzle solving, with numerous stages and multiple episodes to each stage, and plenty of hidden secrets and surprises. This game introduced many recurring characters and bosses in the Mario series, including Toadsworth, Bowser Jr., Petey Piranha, Gooper Blooper, Piantas, Nokis, Shadow Mario, and F.L.U.D.D. Super Mario Sunshine pays homage to Mario's Italian heritage and upbringing, with many of the locations in the game having Italian names and sometimes referencing Italian culture.

Such a frustrating game! I really wanted to like the game - and there are some beautiful moments and ideas - but most of the time levels are so frustratingly difficult for no reason. Especially for children, this game is almost unplayable with the weird controls and levels

Luigi's mansion was better

Conflicting,on one hand I can handpick the missions that were good and can go on and on about the brokenness of the game and the tedious and god awful missions,but on the other hand its still mario.
I don’t mean it gets a free pass but that the upbeat atmosphere and the great world building that only nintendo can create is still here.

This game is another great entry to the Mario 3D series. The Mario on vacation vibe is unique and I enjoyed the connection with FLUDD to Luigi’s mansion. FLUDD was a cool feature and some elements of FLUDD likely inspired Cappy in Mario Oddessy. level design in this game is great and the boss battles are pretty fun. Builds on the N64 entry’s legacy. Probably the weakest of the mix though (which is still crazy good and is not a knock on it at all)
