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
| This game is Awesome!! | | A gamer from ottawa,ontario says (28/Dec/2002): | I like this game so much! It's great! The graphics are totally awesome, but I think the views are pretty annoying. Other than that, This game rocks!
| 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!
| This game totally rules the Gamecube Kingdom!!!!!! | | Courtney from Alberta, Canada says (26/Dec/2002): | All of you who say 'That's a whimpy game' or 'it looks so stupid' or 'Mario's Gay.' should take another look at this game. I'm not going to reveal the plot, but this game is challanging, fun and it makes you feel like you're actually being Mario. The Evil Mario Dude is a really cool person to have as a villian. Out of all the different Mario games, I'd have to say that this is the best one by far. My older sister and I both agree that this game TOTALLY RULEZ THE GAMING WORLD!!
| 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 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.
| 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
| Second only to Fnal Fantasy 7, 8 and 9 | | mathew from Barford, England says (9/Dec/2002): | I don't know about you but the reason I got a gamecube was because of the games coming out (Super Smash Bros Melee, Starfox Adventures, Resident Evil, Zelda)Mario was one of them. I could not wait for this game to come out. I was not dissapointed this is the best Gamecube game I own at the moment and thats with games like Starfox Adventures and Resident Evil in my collection. The game starts up pretty boringly with Mario and peach landing on the island it's when you get all the levels open that the game realy shines(no pun intended) because you can go around a do what level you want when you want. It's not Like one of the Final Fantasy games where you get lead by ut scenes. The story doesn't play much of a part in the game but if your one of those people who likes a game with story here it is. Mario lands on island delpheno where he has been blamed for graphiting the whole Island but what the Towns people don't know is that it's a mario look alike anyway Mario has been told by the judge to clean it up but your not alone. FLUDD is at hand it's like a fire hydren that shoots water and thats what you clean up the graphiti up with. Fludd has many different fuction which include Propeller, Hover and Rocket. During the adventure you get to ride Yoshi the dinosaur.The graphics are realy cool the look like the have been painted. The backgrounds are bright and colourful and look real summary. The sound is good to the music is real catchy. Peaches voice is horrible and you don't even hear mario talk
| 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!?
| 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).
| 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!
| This Game Sucks So Bad | | Luigi Rules!! from Toronto says (25/Nov/2002): | This game ultimately sucks. It is the same thing as Luigi's Mansion. Instead of using a vacume Mario uses a stupid water pack! and in Luigi's Mansion theres a mansion, in Super Mario sunshine its sunshine. Then in Luigis Mansion u have to find a person, Mario! In Mario Sunshine u have to find a person Peach! So this game is just a copy! I reccomend u get Luigi's Mansion Instead! PS.Theres another copy comin out, Wario World (Wonder what u have to do in that) DUHHHH!
| Super Mario Sunshine Nintendo's One of Many Great Games | | C.T. from Indian Trail NC USA says (20/Nov/2002): | Super Mario Sunshine is a great game. The length gives you things to do for hours. It is a great sequel and in many ways is greatly better than the first. Beutiful colors and graphics make this game one of a kind. The only flaw is the really challenging minigame. Above all this is one of Nintendo's greatest creations.
| A classic retro feeling superior to all other! | | Belga from Norrköping, Sweden says (19/Nov/2002): | Sunshine Rocks! A perfect mix of classic mario feeling and inovative thinking combined in a world of fiction. Sure it feels lika Super mario 64 but still it doesen´t have quite the same tone or attitude to it, Of course it won´t be the chock that brought us inte the 3D realm but this is as close as you get. Not a perfect 10 but noone will ever get there so this is as good as it is going to get.According to my taste it´s only a tiny little bit to easy but thats just experience or luck talking i think!
| best MARIO so far | | 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.
| 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!!
| Problems eclipsed by sheer brilliance of this game | | A gamer from London, UK says (4/Nov/2002): | OK, this is just another Mario 64, right? Well, in many ways, yes, but is that really such a bad thing? This game certainly looks very similar to the classic N64 title, but the real joys of this game are the genuine attempts by Nintendo to make this as fun as possible to play. It's hard to explain the sheer joy of diving into the shimmering, wavy seas, or the awesome feeling you get every time you complete one of the fiendishly difficult obstacle courses. There are real signs of classic Nintendo gold in this game, demonstrted perfectly by the little pinball mini-level, or the majestic sand-bird, swooping high over Gelato Beech. Sure, this game has its faults. Yoshi does, as much as it feels bad to admit it, feel like a rushed, gimmicky add-on, but that's practically it. Certainly, there can be no complaints with Mario's water pack, which works really well, is easy to control right from the start, and feels so central to the whole Mario experience that you'll (honestly!) wonder how you did without it. Controlling Mario without the pack just seems strange. So, just another SM64? As I said, in many ways, yes, but this feels so much better than that when you actually play it. This game just feels fresh and exciting. You will laugh and beg for more as you race frantically around the Pinna Park roller coaster, firing rockets at a huge, flame breathing, mechanical Bowser. You will drop into the sea for the millionth time from the scaffolding around Ricco Harbour and pick yourself up to try it just one more time. You will be smiling from ear to ear as you complete every one of this game's rock hard challenges, (Believe me, there are plenty,) until you have found every shine, every secret, every single coin that this breathtaking game has to offer. Quite simply, it's unmissable. 10/10
| 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...)
| U got a GameCube u need this!! | | Elliot. Walker from England, Sheffield says (13/Oct/2002): | At first, yes, the grass may be a bit flat and the walls may not be that realistic but from the moment your thumb touches the joystick its sort of like you have jumped into the role of mario. You dont even have to concentrate on getting the shines, you can just bounce on the typeropes or run on rooves, but whatever you do you will just keep coming back for more even if its to play about with fludd. The sound of this game is brillliant. Every move Mario makes he makes a little "whoop" or a "whaa" even if its just when your doing a jump. Where ever you go to in Ilse Defino you'll have the feeling in the back of your mind that your missing out somewhere else and as soon as you have completed the mission you are currently on you will soon be in another part of the island and you will get the same feeling once again. Usually in a Mario game the princess get kidnapped and you have to do your best to rescue her but in this game there is alot more to it. This game has alot more of a story-line than previous mario games, that will drag you inside of the game and this story-line itself is very original. If you have a GameCube then you have to get "Super Mario Sunshine" no matter what!!!
| Mario is back and stronger that ever!! | | Bryan from Ohio, USA says (11/Oct/2002): | Within the first few minutes I played Super Mario Sunshine I knew: I LOVE THIS GAME!!!!! Now I'm not saying mario 64 was bad but the two games just can't possibly be compared. Mario sunshine is one of the most creative and interesting games I have ever played, not to mention fun!! There is virtually nothing wrong with the game, the camera control is great, I think the camera in Mario Sunshine is the easiest camera to control in platform gaming. Also you can get mario to almost any and every edge, platform, etc. Another great feature of this game is that almost everything you see you can get to. If you're falling and there is a tree under you, you hit the tree and bounce off instead of falling right through it, sure this isn't something huge but hey in games people want it detailed and realistic right? I was origanally going to rate this game a 10 out of 10 but now that I think about it there is one HUMONGUS problem, invisible walls. There is NOTHING worse than invisible walls, you're running along and BAM! straight into and invisible wall the only other problem I had with this game is it is to short there aren't that many shines, theres only like 70 or 80 not counting getting 100 coins Other than that this is a great game and to anyone who doesn't have this game BUY IT, NOW! Mario Sunshine is one of the best games I've played in my life
