Accessories: Editorial Review: Product Description: Super Mario Sunshine takes Mario and Peach to beautiful Sunshine Island, for a much-needed vacation-- until a graffiti artist dressed like Mario goes around vandalizing the place! Amazon.co.uk Review: Six years. Six long years we've had to wait for a new Mario game, and finally it's here. And even considering the ridiculously unfair expectations, Super Mario Sunshine is almost entirely as good as you'd hope and expect. The premise of the game is that Mario's tropical holiday is ruined when he's stitched up by an evil look-alike for daubing graffiti all over the island. Rather conveniently, there's a water pump waiting for him to use, which not only washes away the mess but also doubles as a handy jet pack. The jet pack aspect means that whenever you fall off something you have the chance to immediately recover. This built-in safety net means the game can afford to be far more ambitious in its level design than ever before, with massive levels filled with trampolines, tightropes, water-powered windmills, huge coral reefs, and mountains and mountains of platforms. The whole thing looks amazing, too, with the most realistic water ever seen in a video game, and a near-infinite draw distance. On top of all this are rideable, fruit-juice-spewing Yoshis, extra water nozzles, super-hardcore platform levels where Shadow Mario nicks your jet pack, and goop-generating bosses who seem to live to make Princess Peach's laundry a nightmare. After the sweet but rather short pleasures of Luigi's Mansion and Pikmin, you need have no fear that Mario Sunshine is of a similarly brief nature. There are a total of 120 shines to collect--the same number of stars as in Super Mario 64--and the game world is at least as large and far more interactive. This is without question the best game on the GameCube yet. That may be no more than you'd expect from a Mario game, but it's certainly more than most of us mere mortals deserve. --David Jenkins Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - If you seek real entertainment, avoid this.I bought this game to play on the Wii after having played Super Mario Galaxy to the bone and getting all 121 stars, which were indeed difficult and stressful to get but not at all compared to Super Mario Sunshine. The game seems rushed and not well-finished at all. Surely Mario does look much better than the precarious Super Mario 64 design but the game looks like a testing beta version of itself. The graphics aren't great, the music is... just there, and the gameplay ranges from funnily ... Read More Rating: - MARIO TO THE MAX MEET F.L.O.O.D.THE BEST GAME OF 2002 AND I GOT REVIEW 629. THIS GAME IS AWSOME I STILL LOVE IT AFTER I HAD IT FOR 4 YEARS. IT IS ALSO THE BEST GAME FOR THE GAMECUBE BESIDES SUPER SMASH BROS.MELEE. THIS GAME IS THE DEBUT OF BOWSER JR. AND F.L.O.O.D. . F.L.O.O.D. IS A WATER THING BEHIND MARIOS BACK THAT SPRAYS WATER IN ALL DIRECTIONS. THE OBJECT OF THE GAME IS TO CLEAN UP DEFLINO PLAZA BECAUSE THE CLONE MARIO [WHICH IS BOWSER JR.] MESSES IT WITH SLIME AND YOU HAVE TO VS. SLIME MONSTERS ...

The platforming and level design aren't the best in the series, but they're not the worst either. In my opinion, the platforming and level design are actually better than most other plat-formers out there. Now, for years the Mario series has been merely running and jumping, but now they tried to throw in something new, a little water cannon backpack. Some may argue that it is annoying to use and detracts from the game ... Read More Rating: - Another hit for Mario!This game was a welcome relief from the MarioKart's, and MarioParty's! Woohoo! Another adventure! I relished on the play-ability and even the toughest challenges in the mini-games. Thank you Nintendo, for getting away from the Kart and Party series, serious gamers like the adventures! When you have to save and shut down til the next night, it's a gratifying annoyance to have the game stuck in your mind all day, until you can plug in again, and try all the things you've thought up. What's going to be next ... Read More Rating: - The very first Mario Bros. Game for GamecubeThis was the very first Mario game on Gamecube. I've gotton all 120 star things which took like 3 years. This was an action normal video game unrelated to the Mario saga. It was kind of violent.
