Best Game Ever |
| Kyle from Thousand Oaks, CA, USA says (12/Sep/2002): |
I can't put my controller down, in fact I'm currently playing it! I have 89 shines and really enjoy it! I think that the videos are really funy, especially, the ending one! I hope that they make a sequal to this game, because this game has the best graphics, sound, gameplay, challenges, and plot! The downside is, this game is short, even with all the extras such as collecting every coin in every level, it will max out to 70 hours, where as the minnimum time that anyone has done everything was 32 hours! Here is a little story about it! On a tropical island, far from the Mushroom Kingdom, among the people enchanted by sunshine, Mario has taken a brake from the hopping, the bopping, and saving the princess to take a well deserved vacation, or so he thinks! But this fall, something is a muck in paradise, throw fireballs at him laugh at his mustache, but do not mess with his vacation!

The Best Mario Game Since Super Mario |
| Cleff from Austin (Texas) USA says (15/Sep/2002): |
An awsome game with moves from mario 64 and some new moves with graphics that could kick any other games butt. It also has old friends. So if you think it looks sissy you need to try and then rate it again!!!!

Super Mario Sunshine |
| pr1c3l35s from Toronto, Canada says (22/Sep/2002): |
This is a very good designed game that is fun and challenging, if you havn't got this game yet and you don't have Gamecube try renting it at Blockbuster or Rogers Video (in Canada) if in America try finding it in another store, what about this game is about the storyboard and new characters that you have never probably seen before, the Wet/Liquidy Mario who does the graffiti looks like he's not evil, they should put a little more detail in that character, but the game I would rate it 4/5 ...

Awesome !! A++ |
| Dannielle from Oregon, USA says (27/Sep/2002): |
I really enjoyed the game and all its characters. We just recently bought the game and I haven't stop playing it. If you haven't already bought this game I highly recommend buying it for your own pleasure !!

A super game that you can't miss! |
| Jeremy from Holland, Europe says (28/Sep/2002): |
Okay, it's here! Mine is an US import (as i' m from Europe) But i'm glad i let my fried do it (forced him is more like it). this game featers great gameplay. Although ya might miss Mario's long-jump at the start your FLUDD device does more then alright! I spended afther reciving the "speedboat' adition to FLUDD over 30 minutes just blasting in the water arround , fooling arround.
The game is great if you love agility and puzzling. some are pretty nice brain crackers to solve. you just can't simply jump from this to there without knowing what your doing. Also safe to say in advance is that the life meter and air meter the same in mario 64 are now seperated o no life refill in water!
in overall, gameplay and senario's you play are great. the story is different but typically mario style a we enjoy.
Now, this game is ofcourse not pure sunshine troughout the game. It has some flaws:
1. it sad the game hasn' t but i defnitly seen frame-rate drops. ones lasting maybe 1-3 sdeconds in the most. ofcourse thisa is very rare and happens wen your cam is on a weird spot but you notice (mostly in the theme park) with the water that the frasme rate takes a slight step back but not that it interferrs or brings dow speed in the game
2. Yoshi.. Okay, i might be pushing lil flaws but he aint as manuverable as your used to him. he isn' t as reactive as Mario so be carefull..
3. The cam sysatem is great but.. can be annoying to get stuck with your hughcam behind a wall seeing mario' s shade and are not sure what to do. A lil bit of extra following up would have been nice.
4. Some textures are simple and plain. Nintendo could have done a lil bit more wefford into it but then again they did put the detail where it really belongs so it doesn' t bother.
so overall it' s to me already a classic with flaws falling into nothing with all it' s greatness!!

Superb game, wonderful. |
| Phillip Dyte from UK says (6/Oct/2002): |
What can I say that has not already been said? The graphics are average, fair enough, but they do the job and keep the atmosphere well. The actual characters are quite pleasing on the eye, with nice animations. People who say it looks too childish are elitist pigs who do not appreciate the enormous playability of the game. I was overjoyed when I dscovered the sewer system and the sense of freedom is great. The rollercoaster is cool as well, and deserves special mention.
The FMV, although not particually spectacular, was fairly amusing with Mario drooling over the local delacies. As for originality, excuse me, hello? name me one game like this. Nothing beats sliding down a hill at 70mph on your belly in the mud, or shooting down an enemy from fifteen feet. The level of thinking from the designers is mensa-challenging and pretty fun. One of my favourite things is running over the rooftops and bouncing off walls. Fun. Excellent game, so buy it.

This Game Rocks Big Time!! |
| Tyler Krieg from USA says (22/Oct/2002): |
You need to get this game. It is much better than you think-trust me! First of all, FLUDD is SO cute-you might say it is cuter than Yoshi. Also Yoshi is back with cool moves. Delfino Island starts off as gloomy and cloudy, but the more shine sprites you get, the more sunny and cloudless it gets. The bosses are cooler too. There is Bowser (du), shadow mario (I don't want to give it away), Gooper Blooper, the mole, Petey Pirahna, the manta storm, king boo (he's back), Eely Tooth, Giant Wriggler, Chain Chomp, and Piantissimo (a racer)- those are ALL bosses-yep. And you meet them more than once!There are different types of Yoshis to get and they can all turn baddies into a platform. Sometimes piantas throw you and they all react to what you do to them. For instince, if you spray someone, they will yell at you and if someone is dirty, they will praise you. You have to know thier way of life to get along. You can also shop for others to get prizes. You can ride on boats or travel to a theme park to enjoy some rides OR you can sleep in a four-star hotel that is HUGE.You can watch construction or visit beaches;visit villages or swim in a hot spring;listen to guitar players or actually watch the Doot Doot girls perform. You can also visit a casino, hunt down birds,eat a smoothie,swim in the coral reef,buy shine sprites,dive down a waterfall,fight evil,and many more things.I have 119 shine sprites,and I have enough experience to say that this game is the best game ever! So buy this game!You'll see why I wanted to write this review!!! (p.s.There is a secret place in the game in Noki Bay on level 3-there is a door at the bottom and if you center the camera just right,you can see a book followed by a secret passageway. No wonder that pianta guy said if this was the end of the game...)

brilliant ,the best mario ever!!!! |
| joey b from london ,england says (14/Nov/2002): |
this game over all rules!the graphics are magnificent,the actual game play is the best i have seen for a platform game. the fludd pack that mario uses is a masterpiece,so when a level comes along where you can't use it,that level sucks!!!!! when i bought this game i could not put it down. this game RULES!!
|

| sir games alot from perth western australia wa says (19/Nov/2002): |
now i love this game the graphics is just great the nice color its so refreshing and vibrent now. No afense but i prefere sonic cunpaired to mario but this game makes me love this cute little plumer a lot more this game is a lot bigger and better than the mario 64 i hired it and kept it for another 3 night it was so good i loved beating the mecha bowser that shoot rocket as you ride the rollercoaster and shoot rocket at it with your flood.. now i thought this was more of a kiddy's game but its not and the fludd pack put me off but in the levels with out the flud you wonder how you do with out it i havnt passed it yet but i like jr bowser and a pollished buffed up juice shooting yoshi is back. The game cube engine is great and this great console is just going to get better i wonder what's in store for mario and luigi in there next big game maybe they can team up in an adventur two player game i no wario's comeing out it looks good but not as good as this game the water the sun the sky the land every liveing breathing thing in this game looks good.

Hey, it's Mario... what more can you say |
| Juquam from New Zealand says (1/Dec/2002): |
It's interesting to read everybody elses views of this game. especially the people that poorly rate it. Me on the other hand, being a die hard Nintendo and Mario fan, I could give it anything less than 10/10. Supurb. It's a shame that some people can't see what this game is, and how it's predessors (esp on teh NES) brought platform gamming to a new level. You can say what you will, but in my opinion the game truely follows the same blueprint of all other great platform games, and will be remembered foundly :) Shine!

sunshine isn't copy of luigi mansion, it's vice verca dumb@$$!!! |
| shado from patagonia, AZ. USA!!! says (2/Dec/2002): |
Mario started long before luigis mansion came out. In every mario game u always look for peach. the game always happens in one basic place (sunshine and mansion being a couple examples). It's the simple idea of heroics and action (not much action but it's some). Luigi's mansion just took that idea and changed it a bit. I mean if u think about it alot of games are like that. ur almost always on the look for someone that u need to save. I find that mario sunshine has nice, detailed graphics. it's got trippy music and takes a long time to beat (which i find a good thing. games that are easy to beat get boring fast).

Favorite Game!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Aaron C. from Minnesota,USA says (9/Dec/2002): |
This game totally rockes!I dont know what those people who said it sucked are thinking.But they obviously dont know how to play video games like I do.I see a reason Shirigo Myamoto had Luigi and Mario have different backpack thingies.He wants to keep a patern going.And plus!Luigi cant even jump in Luigi's Mansion,
He only has two people to talk to,and how do you tie in the fact that the whole game is in the mansion and SMS only has one level
based on a haunted hotel!?

The platform king polishes his crown |
| Webbno7 from Galway Ireland says (11/Dec/2002): |
It's been a long wait for us and Mario himself the poor fella's had to spend eight years back at the day job cleaning drains. He must have been as eager as us for Princess peach to get herself kidnapped again. At the start the game seems a little easy, but any thoughts that this might be a kids game soon evaporate. The varity and depth of game play are brillant. From cleaning scum off the streets of Delfino, to growing gaint water melons, to the old school delights of collecting coins in a set time period. Prehaps the most enjoyable aspect of this game is when you're transported back to the very early Mario games with 2D style gaming in 3D. It is these sections which offer the hardest challange, but it is also these that show us that for all the advances in gaming you just can't beat the felling of jumping from one platfrom to another with nothing but death below, and your heart in your mouth.
But this is platforming of the highest order,and for all the impersonators and rip offs, no one can make a game like nintendo and no one can star in one like the fat, Itailian plumber

THIS GAME ROCKS!!! |
| Crimson from Melbourne, Victoria, Australia says (23/Dec/2002): |
I love this game. It is so challenging for a person like me who has never played Mario 64 but so fun simultaneously. Anyone who says that this game sucks should look a bit closer, just because Yoshi isn't as versatile as he should be and Mario looks better in Super Smash Brothers Melee means nothing. You should never judge a game by the graphics or the name but by the gameplay and plots. Sunshine is fun, frustrating (like all good games should be) and has a quality that many don't - you can stuff around and do what ever you want in the levels and with Fludd.

Flash Liquidiser Ultra Dousing Device = FLUDD |
| Toby from Sawbridgeworth, England says (26/Dec/2002): |
This game is so cool! I love the new FLUDD controls, and the storline is neat.
Storyline: 7.9
The story was good, but there was still room for improvement. Mario, Peach and a bunch of Toads (including Toadsworth) are taking a well-deserved vacation, but it's all ruined right from when they land on the airstrip. Mario gets framed, and finds FLUDD. The judge says all of the island is covered in icky, paint-like goop, and Mario is accused of the crime. He must, with FLUDD, clean up the whole island, and recover their missing SHINE SPRITES. The more SHINES Mario collects, the brighter Isle Delfino is.
Graphics: 8.5
Very good! The graphics are wonderful when you're squirting with FLUDD. The reflections are nice, the landscape is pretty-apart from the goop; speaking of the goop, it is- I haven't the words for it. How's this for it- great.
Sound & Music: 9.9(sooooo close!) I really don't want to carry on about this section, so I'll just say a few words: The sound is great, with Mario yelling and 'whoa'ing, and the sound of his shoes on concrete, water and grass- Brilliant.
The music is brilliant too, but with one flaw: The game could use different music. Listen to the following next time you play SMS.
Bianco Hills Music.
The one where you fight Gooper Blooper two times. If you don't know what I mean, look at each Episode 7 for the title: Shadow Mario Revisited. That place. Yup.
The beach without the hotel, with the legendary Sand Bird.
All seems to be the same music, but in different variety, huh?
Gameplay: 10.00 (but 6.5 for camera)
The controls couldn't be simpler. Maybe they could, but in my opinion, the controls are simple. A is jump, like in all Mario games. B doesn't do anything, unless you're running, causing you to do a power slide, otherwise Mario does a tiny step. R for FLUDD use, like in LM. You know, Luigi's Mansion. L for swinging the camera round behind your back, or, if you're in the air, Ground Pound. X changes nozzles on FLUUD, Y changes to First-Person View, and Z gives you a map of Isle Delfino.
Overall: 10.00
Buy, or Rent?
Buy, most certainly.
Well, it's your choice whether you buy the game, or leave it on a lonely shop shelf. If I were you, I'D GET THIS GAME!!!
Of course, I don't need to buy it anymore, I've got this game! How could I review it if I didn't have it?
(Well, I could play it at a friend's house, but you're wrong. We're usually trying to win the game before the other does!*)
Toodles.
*My friend's way in front of me, I've 25 SHINES, hes got about 53. Toodles again.

This is the best game anyone could ever play! |
| Sunny Burwell from Isle of Palms, South Carolina, USA says (27/Dec/2002): |
I didn't know what to expect when Dad rented me Super Mario Sunshine when he went to Blockbuster. Would it be too hard? Too easy? Too idiot stupid? Or just plain cool? Well, I played it, and I loved it! Ever since I first sprayed the airstrip Piranha I loved the game. Now I haven't finished the entire game yet, but since Mom gave me SM Sunshine and its strategy book for Christmas, I have now just completed Episode Six of Pianta Village. Very close to the big final boss of Corona Mountain!

Wow |
| A gamer from Gloucester. England says (28/Dec/2002): |
If you have rated this game below ten think again. It's amazing. Everything about it is amazing. That's all I have to say.
|
You CAN'T say this game sucks!!!!!! |
| Rebekah from Monroeville,USA says (28/Dec/2002): |
This game is awesome!!!! You aren't saving peach except for one stupid little part in the game. You're saving a whole island of people!!! It isn't exactly like all the other games. If you think it is you should play it more and find out that it's packed with adventures and other great things a game should have!
|
THIS GAME IS AMAZING!!!!!!! |
| Nick from London,Ontario says (28/Dec/2002): |
This is the best mario game yet. For all of you people who think it`s a copy of luigi`s mansion, think again! Mario sunshine is probably one my my favroite games,you can do almost anything in this game. it`s much like the mario 64 game,but better. This game is lots of fun, with better levels, funner challenges,and it`s a really fun story, this game is better than luigi`s mansion by far. I think that, if you buy this game, you will be way more happier than if you buy luigi`s mansion. So buy it
