Summary: A Good Investment
Comment: I must admit, I was rather hesitant to by this game because of all the bad talk about it. How it was nothing like Super Mario 64 and that the camera was absolutely horrible. Granted it isn't a mirror image of Super Mario 64, I see many resemblances. It's kind of disappointing that they took out the long jump, but I really see no need for it. I also read somewhere that you were very limited to what you could at a given time in this game, but I have to disagree. You can go after a wide array of shines (shines serve the same purpose as the stars in Super Mario 64) at any given time. Also, I'd have to say that the camera is amazing in this game. It's like the camera in a third person shooter, only much better. I'd say that it's even better than the camera in Super Mario 64. People were also saying that the voice acting was horrible; I wouldn't say it's horrible, but I somewhat dislike sitting through cut-scenes. I'm 18, soon to be 19 (in less than a month), and I love this game. I would recommend this game to people of all ages. It's fun, and it's classic.

Summary: A Tropical Paradise?
Comment: Super Mario Sunshine was the first game that I owned for the Gamecube. I had anxiously awaited playing it, as Super Mario 64 for Nintendo 64 had completely and eternally hooked me to Mario.
The story starts when Mario and Princess Peach, along with the Toads, fly to a tropical island for a vacation. The vacation is disrupted, however, when paint-like grafiti covers the island. The island becomes dark because the Shine Sprites, which light the city, have all gone away because of the goo. Mario is blamed for the grafiti and all the problems, as witness descriptions and pictures show a shadowy figure with a striking resemblance to our hero. Mario is given Fludd (which acts like a power hose) and is told to clean up the mess.
Not long after Mario begins to flush the city clean, Princess Peach is kidnapped by the shadow Mario. Now, Mario must clean the city, capturing Shine Sprites and incrementally brightening the city, while trying to solve the riddle as to Princess Peach's whereabouts.
I enjoyed this game quite a bit, the graphics were amazing and brilliantly clear, Mario looked better than ever, and the island folk were interestingly cute. The enemies were not too unfamiliar, but defeating them was the trick, since you had to use FLUDD to do it!
Having Mario on a tropical island seems like a good idea, just not for an entire game. After a while, I found myself slightly bored of the constant beach-like atmosphere, and the task of cleaning graphiti which appeared everywhere. Changes in atmospheric conditions were in every prior Mario game, so it was a little different to have this one focused on one single climate.
Bad qualities aside, this was a pretty good game. It was very catchy to watch, the characters were old favorites (sometimes with a twist), and had levels of all difficulties - some easy to master, some not. Although this game wasn't as wonderful as I expected it to be, I was still impressed by its overall gameplay. I had fun playing it, and would probably recommend it to most Mario fans.

Summary: If you have a Wii, this is worth getting.
Comment: Now at the end of the Nintendo Gamecube's life, and the realease of this games sequel "Super Mario Galaxy" it's time for me to review "Super Mario Sunshine". Is this as groundbreaking as "Super Mario 64"? No, but you knew that. This was 5 years too late. But that dosen't mean this is bad. It's great, introducig many things that became staples of the series. This has the first appeareance of Toadsworth, Bowser Jr., Petey Piranha, Nokis, FLUDD, Isle Delifino, and most of all, Piantas, the lovable inhabitis of the island. You'll love hoping, boping, stomping, sliding, and backfliping across a tropical sun drenched enviorment. Are there problems? Yes. The secret levels are occasionally frustarating and semi frequent. But, the bosses are the funnest enemies you'll fight in any game, and the red coin levels are way to fun to not mention. Buy this, "64", and "Galaxy" and you'll have among the greatest games ever.

Summary: sunshine
Comment: This is one of the best mario games i have ever played. The graphics are amazing, the levels are long, and the game its self is long.This game is also diffrent from the regular marios, in this game instead of getting mushrooms and other things like that you have waterguns, It might sound wierd but trust me its very fun. If you are a mario fan or if your just looking to buy a mario game defenatly check this one out.

Summary: It's like banging your head against a wall of teddy bears for 2 weeks.
Comment: I'm glad to see that people have still been reviewing this game recently. I'm always a system behind, but I always buy Nintendo. I just bought a gamecube and this game.

Let me tell you this. Super Mario Sunshine is one of the most frustrating creations I've ever been invited to partake in. At times it seems like the game was designed to make me break my controller and buy a new one. If I hadn't grown up on Mario, and if this were the first video game I'd ever played, I would never want to play another one for the rest of my life.

I concur with everything the other reviewers have said about the controls and the camera. You're constantly fighting the buttons to get where you already know you need to be. It's sometimes tedious, often mind numbingly repetitive, and almost always keeping your blood at a steady boil.

That may very well be the genius in the game. You CAN NOT put this thing down. It's brilliant, funny, creative, and fun. It's also evil, sadistic, and more than willing to make you spend 3 hours on a level that will take you 3 minutes to complete in the long run.

I don't know how a game for children ended up this difficult, but I begrudgingly give it 4 stars. It's completely brilliant, and it's also the most frustrating game I've ever played in my life. What can ya do?
