When Mario, Peach and an entourage of her loyal Toad friends set out for a tropical vacation on lovely Isle Delfino. A mustachioed maniac has mucked up the entire island, and Mario is accused of committing the crime.
Summary
The return of the Mario series and it was never so...wet. Most of Super Mario Sunshine takes place in water or around it. In fact, the only missions you aren't around water are the hidden missions. But I have to say, I still haven't even gotten every star. So this game is definatley challenging but fun and never frustrating. I think that games like this are simply a reason to own a Gamecube alone.
Sound
Bright, Evil, Mysterious, and Classic are the three types of music used in Super Mario Sunshine. I think that they did a great job remaking the classic Mario tune. They also did a great job setting the mood for boss battles, exploration, and triumphant and relaxing moments. I also think they did a wonderful job with the water SFX. I think that they had a great crew working on the SFX and music for Super Mario Sunshine and I hope they use the same crew in the future.
Gameplay
They really expanded on the gameplay in the next of the Mario installment. Now you can pull off wall jumps over and over with ease instead of timing it wrong and ending up swearing at your TV. It's also cool that you can ride Yoshi in this Mario, Unlike the last one. I mean seriously, who needs 100 lives after you beat the game. On Mario 64 when I saw Yoshi I was like, "awesome I'm gonna get to ride Yoshi" but then he just says a few words, gives you 100 lives, and jumps off the building and commits suicide(If you found him in Mario 64 you'll understand this joke. So when I picked up this copy and rode Yoshi early in the game I was like,"this is sweet". Seriously, the only reason I found all 120 stars in the last one was become some evil little kid said, "Oh yeah, if you get 120 stars you'll get to ride Yoshi whenever you want". So you can imagine how mad I was when Yoshi commited suicide. So throughout the entire Mario Sunshine I was so glad I was finally riding Yoshi in full 3-D. I also like how they added that cool water pack on you back. It allows you to reach higher places, get somewhere faster or jump across a gap that would otherwise be impossible. Another cool little gimmick is that there are many hidden items. For example when you see an open window squirt it and some coins will most likely fly out. You can also discover lots of mini quests and they often reward you with blue coins or shine sprites. It's also cool that you can acess the cities sewers.This allows you to get where you are going much faster. All in all, I think the gameplay is one of the top of any game out there.
