![]() ![]() But is it a blanket dislike? Can you even not stand some of the truly unique areas, like that amusement park zone? How about the gameplay and platforming in the zones outside of the town centre? If someone set a game in a location that constantly reminded me of where I grew up, I’d get pretty sick of it, too. Just artistically, I don’t like looking at Sunshine.Īri: That’s totally fair. And not even from a “This is a Gamecube game and this is a Wii game” point of view. It really looks bad when you compare it to Galaxy. Zack: As someone who grew up in Florida, you are correct.Īnd sure, I think that’s an interesting way to show progression, I just don’t think it looks all that great. And it’s like, “hey, things are looking up!” It was a novel and tangible way to show your progression. And then, as you go, as you collect more Shine Sprites, the city centre becomes incrementally sunnier. And I like that Mario has rolled up his sleeves.Īri: First off, let’s agree that all parts of Florida are terrible, unless enough of the state’s congressional districts do the right thing on November 3.īut isn’t that washed-out look part of its charm? I loved that, when you start out, everything is all shaded and dreary, like you booked a vacation but completely forgot to check the weather beforehand. I feel like I’m at a themed hotel in a terrible part of Florida. In fact, in preparing for this chat I jotted down some thoughts I had about the game and this is what I wrote down about the look of the island: Mario looks out of place in this world, and everything seems too washed out and appears cheap and garish. Zack: I actually don’t like the look of Sunshine all that much. I assume you have beaten it at least once or twice? ![]() I’ve watched some folks, like Giant Bomb, stream it all the way through, but I’ve personally never had the desire or interest in playing it all the way though. I’ll even admit here, just to be transparent, I’ve never beaten it. But the last time I played Sunshine was… probably six or more years ago at this point? I don’t like to go back to it. Zack: I have not played the collection yet! I did recently play Galaxy via (Nintendo don’t read this part) emulation and it was great. Have you had a chance to try these games out in their newer, slightly shinier states? I’ll fully admit: I’m coming from the perspective of rose-coloured glasses. I just find it very… mediocre when compared to previous and later Mario games.Īri: Well, now, with Super Mario 3D All- Stars, people get a chance to try out Sunshine alongside its immediate predecessor and successor, Mario 64 and Mario Galaxy, respectively. Though I also want to point out that I don’t hate it entirely or think it’s some awful, garbage game. Zack Zwiezen: Hello! Just checking, did you misspell Odyssey really badly when you put down Sunshine in that sentence? Because that is actually the best 3D Mario game. Can you tell me why you think this way? What justifies these treasonous, heretical beliefs? ![]() In the wake of the collection’s release, a couple of us debated the merits of this sunny game.Īri Notis: Welcome, welcome! It is my understanding, Zack, that you are not a fan of Super Mario Sunshine, the best 3D Mario platformer. And, of all the games that came out for the GameCube, none had better weather.Įarlier this month, current-gen players were reintroduced (or, in some cases, introduced) to Sunshine as part of Super Mario 3D All- Stars, a Switch-exclusive collection of the first three 3D Mario platformers, all touched up in high definition.
