Super Fun

For Mario fans out there, the wait is over. Super Mario Sunshine gives the system and fans out there what they wanted, Mario for the GameCube. The game play is exactly the same as Super Mario World 64 and the plot is very similar, requiring you to gather shines instead of stars. Unless I'm mistaken the game to me appears too short, which is why it only gets 4 stars. I've had it for less than a week and I'm already fighting the boss. Either I'm extremely good or the game is short, however, the game is totally worth the buy and has lots of replay. Although you don't need to collect all the shines to get to the boss, trying to get them all can be fun and frustrating all in one. Overall this game is great and should be on everyone's must get list.

I've been waiting for a new mario game ever since i bought my GCN! I played SMS at a store and it was soooooooo much fun!!
I can't wait to rent it!!!In this game, mario, peach, and a bunch of toads go to an island called isle delfino. But when mario gets there, he is accused of polluting the island and must clean it up, clear his good name and catch the faker who ruined his vacation! You may think this sounds babyish but it is definetly not. Anyone who didn't buy a GCN because they thought it was babyish is stupid. If it's as good as it looks, it will be on the top of my birthday list!!!!

A Refreshing Game

I would just like to say that it is refreshing to have a game like this. It's been a while since we've had fun just running, jumping,(and now water-blasting) around in a game! I mean, titles like Zelda and Super Smash Bros Melee are great (some of Nintendo's best, actually), but it's about time we had a no-holds-barred-do-it-your-way game like Super Mario 64!

Super Mario Sunshine has a few dark clouds

Disney may make a bad Mickey Mouse cartoon, Warner Bros. may drop the ball on Bugs, and Sega certainly punted with Sonic Adventure 2; but Nintendo cuts no corners when it comes to Mario adventurres.

Super Mario Sunshine is not just a Mario game--al a Mario Golf, Mario Tennis, Paper Mario, Mario Party--it is a Mario adventure--the first new Mario adventure in seven years.

Other games may be made by outside teams and released with minimal fanfare, but Nintendo makes Mario adventures in house and releases them in big ways.

As the heir to Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine has a lot to live up to. It almost succeeds.

In Super Mario Sunshine, Mario travels around a tropical island challenging sludge monsters and cleaning grafitti with a high-tech pressure washer/jetpack that he wears on his back. The idea of Mario using such an instrument takes some getting used to, but it's well-executed in the game and works.

In fact, almost everything in this game is done to perfection. The storyline, Mario on vacation getting blamed for pollution and grafitti while an oily imitator kidnaps Princess Peach, also works.

Even FLUDD, the pressure washer/jetpack device, proves fun.

To this point, Nintendo must be congratulated. Super Mario Sunshine combines keeps the precision jumping, the exploration, and the collecting elements in tact while adding an entirely new style of gaming.

But this is also where Super Mario Sunshine runs into a little trouble. The game is hard. Really hard. We're not talking Super Mario Bros 2 (Doki Doki Panic) "where do I find the hidden door" hard. We're not talking Super Mario Bros. 3 "...! He never flies quite far enough" hard. We're talking hard.

Beating this kind of game brings its own badge of honor.

But something that does not bring honor is 3D camera problems--and Super Mario Sunshine has significant camera placement problems. The camera is always getting stuck behind walls and cliffs. You can control it manually; but with games this hard, you probably want to concentrate on playing, not photography.

Nintendo and everybody else in video games should be strapped to a chair and forced to play the first half of Jak and Daxter. Say what you like about the game's derrivitive format, Naughty Dog's intelligent camera was brilliant.

And Super Mario Sunshine--this game has a solid concept and Nintendo has done a great job of polishing the final product. This is not a game for kids or newbies, but it's a very solid game.

The king of the platafomers has arrive with a whole new world to explore, new weapons and old friends such as yoshi. This is the perfect sequel for SuperMario 64, Highly recomended for any plataform fan, good kids, and old die hard nintendo fans that will buy any game that has Mario included.

when i got his game, i was simply disapoited.this doesn't seem like one of those memorable mario games that you could pick up,play, and have a good time.for those you that are expecting super mario 64, don't get it. I'm not putting it down, I mean it's a great game, but, it doesn't have the mario feel.

Better than any house chores...

This is a really fun game for all players to enjoy. Even though in real life cleaning up isn't that fun, Super mario sunshine makes it interesting to clean up unwanted pollution.The graphics in this game are beautiful, and the gameplay is easy, but the game can be challenging sometimes. The music isn't exactly the best, but its good to listen to while playing. This is a very fun game to play over and over again

It's Greeaaat !!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so pleased with my purchase. My kids love it !! I had no problem ordering and you were very prompt with sending it.My package was in mint condition, sealed. I managed to get it before Christmas, something I was very worried about. Thanks so much, maybe we can do more busy with each other in the future. Again, Thanks !
