Welcome back Bianco Bros. My first upload of 2022 is my entire playthrough of Mario Sunshine we did this past month on my Twitch channel. There's more videos coming too including my Bloodborne Playthrough, and I'll be starting Pokemon Legends Arceus come its release next week. This year I'm planning to play fan favourite games and cult classics that have been suggested via my Suggestions Box on my Discord Server. You're not gonna see some of these coming, and I'm excited to be making content for this coming year! Next stream will be Bloodborne tomorrow at 3 GMT: www.twitch.tv/rtgame

Something I've noticed in almost every Mario game I've watched is that - in other games when people make little mistakes or are aggrieved by bad controls, they snarl at the game, or blame themselves. In Mario games, they always, always blame Mario. People will miss jumps and go 'MARIO for God's sake!' as he falls. It's great.

[@timothymenard1750]

If you're wondering why this games movement sucks ass, it's because of Fludd, when the devs made the game they reduced how much control you have over Mario's movement in comparison to Mario 64, the reason for this is to make Fludd more important in the platforming. The problems start due to the fact that Fludd is very clunky when hovering anyways so Mario just doesn't feel good to maneuver which is one of the most important things in a game, doubly that for a platformer. There is also the incomprehensible decision to add mandatory Fluddless sections with instant death pits that are universally awful due to the fact that you now have to play as an annoying to control character missing the mechanic that was supposed to help them platform and maneuver.

[@Roserae16]

I have no clue if this is accurate, but knowing Nintendo I wouldn't put it past them to make an ass backwards decision like that to make you rely more on one specific mechanic while screwing over the rest of the game 🙄

[@nothayley]

I'm losing my mind in this comment section. Mario 64 has like 3x as much jank as SMS, and 99.6% of the game is possible without using the hover nozzle (the only things that aren't are the 4 blue coins on the pillars at the bottom of Noki Bay). I'm convinced that they broke the physics with the port or something, because the movement in SMS is very crisp, compared to something like Galaxy. Honestly, I wonder if part of the issue also comes from the lack of notches in the controller.

[@LittleZbot]

@@nothayley I'd played Sunshine as a kid and loved it, and when I played it in this remake it was absolute misery, in large part thanks to the momentum, depth perception, and physics. I heard from a ton of places that the port screwed up in some way, so I dug out my old GameCube, popped in Sunshine, and played for several hours, all the way until Peach gets kidnapped the second time, to test the difference. The result? They're the exact same. Every problem I had in 3D All-Stars, I had on the GameCube. Every time the game seemed to think I pressed the wrong button on the Joy-Con, it was the same with the GCN Controller. Aside from visuals (and an inverted scheme that I changed seconds into All-Stars), not one thing felt any different between the two. My conclusion is that I, along with most of the human race, are having a hard time comprehending the fact that we were dumb kids and a game we loved actually isn't well-made. Now, your brain and reflexes must be wired differently. And I don't mean that in a bad way. Somehow these odd mechanics and bouncy physics where it feels like Mario is about to die with every step he takes just clicks for you, and I'm honestly a bit jealous. But having replayed both 64 and Galaxy (Galaxy on the original Wii even because I wanted the old control scheme) immediately after Sunshine, to me, and seemingly most of the known world, those physics feel far snappier, more responsive, and better connect to the player in every regard. In Galaxy I looked forward to any semi-dufficult platforming challenge I could find. In Sunshine I dreaded if the game wanted you to walk in a straight line. You working better with Sunshine's engine is great. But for the rest of us, we'll just take what we've been getting with every other 3D Mario title.

[@kendallmonge649]

@@nothayley (I know it's been 11 months, but I wanted to offer my perspective on this, as a massive Super Mario Sunshine fan.) I love this game in spite of its issues. I think a lot of the reason why I love it so much is because I play it so often. And even though I'm not a speedrunner, I love the game's speedrunning community, which teaches shortcuts, glitches, and strategies to get around some of the more frustrating moments and mechanics. Sunshine is undeniably a deeply flawed game, and its creators admitted that it was extremely rushed and came out at least several crucial months before it was finished/polished. This was not an issue with SM64 or Galaxy. (And I say this as someone who does not enjoy playing SM64 at all; I didn't grow up with it, and I have no love for its controls. But there's a reason outside of nostalgia that people adore it so much more than Sunshine, and I have to admit that it is a much more "complete"-feeling game than Sunshine.) When you get deeply into Sunshine, to the point of memorizing even the most obscure and random blue coins and being able to manage the controls, it is a lot more enjoyable. But probably 99% of people who play Sunshine have (understandably) not played it enough to navigate around its glaring issues - and most of them are quickly discouraged and exhausted by the fact that those glaring issues, weird physics, strange depth perception, and unforgiving mechanics rear their ugly head VERY EARLY into any playthrough. Even as someone who loves this game and has beaten it countless times and put more hours into it than any other game, there were a lot of moments when RTGame encountered issues where I knew it wasn't his fault, and where I even knew there was a reasonable chance that even a speedrunning pro could run into the same issues. (This was especially noticeable with the volcano boat and the Pianta Village chuckster level.) It's fine to love this game. Heck, I adore it. But it is an undeniably incomplete and jank game that doesn't feel good to play unless you're very used to it and forgiving of its issues. These issues persist in both the 3D All-Stars port, and the original (although I would say I prefer playing it on a GameCube controller any day).

If the charger is unable to communicate with the device how much the device needs, both the device and charger will prevent charging above anything but the minimum.
