Super Mario Sunshine is a Refreshing Blast of Bizarre

Nothing says 4th of July like sunshine. On this summer day we take a look at my Super Mario Sunshine review. Mario had a challenge for this game. With how amazing the previous games handled 3D platforming, the next game needed a unique idea so it wouldn't be considered a carbon copy. Enter FLUDD! A fun concept that proved that Nintendo was willing to be as creative as they needed to stand apart from their other games. And no matter how many years go by, Mario is always finding new ways to keep us playing.

Here are MY favourite Mario games. • Super Mario Land sequels (the original was great, but if Princess Daisy had tomboyish skills even in her debut, maybe she should’ve tried to fight her kidnapped who understated his welcome severely, Tatanga! She could’ve even been the second hero of the game, the first and only one being Mario!) • Superstar Saga (the rest of the Mario & Luigi games are fun, but Superstar Saga holds a special place in many’s hearts that not even Partners in Time can rival) • Super Mario Bros. 3 (although Super Mario Bros. 1 and both versions of Mario 2 are also awesome, I just wish Mario 2 for the NES weren’t just a dream)! • Super Mario World duology (sure, Baby Mario’s crying in Yoshi’s Island can be a little annoying, but I’ve heard WORSE) • Super Mario RPG • Mario Bros. (Yeah, I went there!) • Paper Mario: Sticker Star’s predecessors (again, yeah, I said the Paper Mario games in the 2000s are much better than Sticker Star, nobody will do anything about it!) • Mario Golf: Advance Tour • Donkey Kong Country 1 & 2 (SNES) • Mario Party 3 • Wario Ware Sunshine is an honorable mention.

I love Super Mario Sunshine, and I love the whole tropical island vibe it has going on. It feels like that vibe is expanded on through the awesome music and especially all the dialogue from all the Pianta's and Noki's throughout the different areas in all the different missions (they do change depending what mission you're in!) that just feels very immersive, which the majority of players would've never even considered to look at. The game just has so much personality.

[@KotharKorinth]

I grew up playing this game alot. I liked the voice acting, I wish it would come back in some capacity (just like I hope most, if not all, mainline Zelda games keep voice acting going forwards). Also, like most everyone else, I want a sequel! I hope we get one someday

@jakeyolky Yea, I didn't care for Bowser's voice....but everything else was good imo! @Piage Fabez I like to use toon Link's "hyahs" and everyone's similar noises to imagine that. I imagine voices exaggerated somewhat to match the cartoon style, but there r some scenes that I think would b ruined if the voices were exaggerated....so I go back and forth I suppose. Either way it would certainly b interesting!

I’ll be honest, I never really got other people’s issues with Mario sunshine. I never had the problems other people seemed to have. The pachinko level, the camera and the boat (also the chucksters) I found very easy. I hated the parts without fludd, I like to refer to it as acapela hell

[@silverthehero1295]

I remember playing this without even having a goal in mind, just chilling. Using the fish bowl to scuba dive in Noki Noki bay, putting on the tropical shirt and sunglasses and watching Mario fall asleep in the shade on the beach, and testing to see if I could match Shadow Mario’s jumps without using FLUDD.

[@DariusSharpe]

Sunshine is definitely one of my favorite Mario games. I adored the tropical setting, FLUDD was fun, cleaning the sludge off everything meshed well with my obsessive need to neaten things. I rarely 100% games, but this was one that I did, and I'd love a Sunshine 2 at some point.

Sunshine was underrated IMO. Sure, the camera isn't as good as the games that came after it, but it certainly was an upgrade from Mario 64. F.L.U.D.D. was a great mechanic, and the ability to use it to float REALLY helped with 3D platforming. As nostalgic as I am for 64, those two things place it leaps and bounds above. It was great for its time and I've gone back and played it and had fun.

They all look very similar, and in my opinion, still pretty good.

Jirard, thanks for putting so much time and love into these videos. Seeing tons of your completionist videos actually inspired me last year to get all the Shines in this game, and I did. I had a pretty good time. Not my favorite game to 100%, but one that I loved before completion and one I love even more after. However, I must disagree with a few things. This is the internet after all. :) I actually really like the camera, I feel it controls well. Yeah, it can mess up from time to time, but I prefer the ability to fully control the camera over a fixed camera like Galaxy's. Also, I like the voice acting. I get why some people find it cheesy or even bad, but I find it to be really entertaining. While I wish the cutscenes were skippable, I find the voice acting gives the game a Saturday Morning Cartoon vibe, and I love that. I still respect your opinions, but these are my own.

Sunshine was one of those game that I bought instantly upon seeing it simply based on how good Mario 64 was, but was then relatively fast weirded out. What made me put it down for a while tho was not it's weirdness, more that it felt a bit boring in some places, and unreasonably hard in others, with not much in between in the eyes of my younger self. When I eventually came back to it tho - because when I hate one thing then it's buying games that I never finish - I had a blast and really liked it a lot. Except for maybe the lava ride at the end. But otherwise the game really is fine. Weird but fine.

saying it's weird that Sunshine doesn't take place in the Mushroom Kingdom, like... Mario 2 Mario 3 Mario World Mario Land Mario Land 2 Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 Mario Odyssey like the only games that take place in the Mushroom Kingdom are the "new" series at this point lol

[@davidthecommenter]

SMB3 did take place in the mushroom kingdom.

Hey jirard. I grew up playin this game and to see you play it makes me elated. I’ve been with you before you remade the channel and started over and I’m active duty in the marine corps man. Semper fi my man

[@gbrot001]

The camera is so unforgivable, no matter how hard I try. And the fact that you showed that stone maze from Nokki Bay when you mentioned that got an audible “THANK YOU!” from me 🤣

[@TyBurtonReviews]

I just played through this game again this week (and finally hunted down all the blue coins to 100% it). Let’s do this!

[@buckroger6456]

I always came up short by 2-3 blue coins.

[@ultragamer7532]

pls play again remake

[@RedGamer981]

I love that this game is getting more love over the past 5 - 10 years. I grew up with this game and would love to see it become playable on a newer console. I've gone to the point of watching speedruns of this game when I get that itch to see it again after giving up my GameCube years ago.

[@blakechildress944]

Great timing Jirard! Funny coincidence that I started replaying Sunshine yesterday!

[@datalphalion]

Just remembered that this game literally has a place called Corona Mountain.

[@christinamartinez9721]

Idk why people get hyper about it though. Corona just means "Crown" in Spanish

[@JayCeeSquared]

I'm a simple man, I see Super Mario SUNSHINE, and I yell and scream in tears of joy. This game basically set Luigi and Mario in different places with the same bad guy, the mister tech, watch MatPat's video lol I should also note; Song of the Deep is a good Metroidvania.

[@jasonlovejoy9398]

I know many hated it, but forcing a plumber to clean up shit on his vacation was ironic and kind of funny

[@TrippedGian1]

How about how wild it was to hear Bowser with actual voice acting and not the usual growl? "THE WATER'S GREAT, EH JUNIOR?"

[@floatingf8783]

Mario's Bizarre Adventure: Paint is Unwashable

[@cameronwiscovitch4186]

Fun Fact! Anytime you say "blue coins", SomeCallMeJohnny gets a cold sweat.

[@klaushammer8687]

Here's my opinion. Mario 64 has nostalgia and the first 3d game factor. Being the first 3d game and having such nice control goes VERY far. Mario sunshine has a charm to it, being vacation and mario sporting a short sleeve. But yeah those bowsers voice and script, all you can say is what were they thinking

[@outlawX02]

Hope you’ve a happy and safe 4th Jirard and Completionist team

[@beastbass1]

"you cant long jump in sunshine" Me who's owned the game since release: Nani? Im a fraud

[@knowcomment4525]

That's a pretty stupid, nonsensical argument anyway. Unless you miss it bc of speedrunning Blj shenanigans, Sunshine's moveset is more diverse and effective than any other 3d title aside from odyssey.

[@beastbass1]

knowcomment quite frankly it never occurred to me because, not including the no speed cap on BLJ, belly sliding with mario is just a better move; its faster and easier to control (imo)

[@davidbergmann8948]

What is nani?

[@beastbass1]

David Bergmann nani=what

[@EyedMite]

Anyone here because of Mario 3D collection

[@Logan-jc6pl]

The title be like: "Super Mario Sunshine Is A Refreshing Blast Of Bizarre" Me: *pillar men theme plays*

[@aymanaboufarise4346]

I think the major problems with this come from the fact that it was rushed as all hell to help out the failing Gamecube's sales. Yet these same problems are the things that make the game so unique and special to every person that's played it. Yeah it is a weird feeling I agree with you Jirard.
