Super Mario Sunshine for GamecubeAmazon.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 nearly entirely as excellent 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 incredible, too, with the most realistic water ever seen in a video game, and a near-infinite draw space. 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 small pleasures of Luigi’s Mansion and Pikmin, you need have no dread 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

Come on people! There are so many better, smarter, cooler titles out there now! If Nintendo had any class at all they would have left Mario alone back in 1996 with Super Mario RPG. In my opinion, this was Mario’s prime! He had both Super Mario 2 and Super Mario RPG to go out with. They would have successfully used Mario for eleven years but no, Nintendo has to keep juicing the poor, ancient man until they completely run his name down to the ground with cash-in titles like Mario Tennis and Mario Golf, which had no depth or long-term regard! He spent half of his career doing the same thing! (Reduction the stupid, ditsy Princess Toadstool) The gaming industry has grown so much since Mario first came out, go on already! They even managed to juice one of their best, most innovative side-game series! (Mario Party) I mean come on, Mario Party 4! Just reflect about what it is! It’s the fourth sequel of a side-series for a charater that is now over 18 years ancient and even that series didn’t help make Mario grow into a real character that you can really care about or relate to!
Now back to Mario Sunshine. Anyone who has a brain would realize that it’s just Mario 64 with better graphics and a few minor gameplay changes! In my opinion, Nintendo should have broken a law by now with all the platform sports meeting they’ve made for Nintendo Sixty-bore, I mean four only! Mario 64, Zelda 64, Zelda: Majora’s Mask, Banjo 1 and 2, DK64, Conker all play the same when you get down to it, but I know no matter what say it’s still gonna sell like hotcakes. I just had to get this off my chest after seeing this … on the top seller list!
In my opinion, only when people stop buying Nintendo’s dull, unoriginal, graphically-updated rehashes of the same sports meeting you’ve played already is when Nintendo will truly get back on the ball and truly start to delivering new, different titles that are truly worthwhile like they used to back in the Golden Age of Nintendo! (The reign of Super Nintendo of course)

This game is splendid. If you never heard anything about Super Smash Bros. or Super Smash Bros. let me fill you in. Super Smash Bros. is a game where you can vs. each other to the death. You can pick out of 14 characters(not including the other 11 secret characters) to dual your friends or by yourself. You also collect trophys and makes records.(For instance, Home Run or Target Test Records. The graphics are MUCH better compare to the polygon-like characters in the first Super Smash Bros.. The characters are Mario, Pikachu, Donkey Kong, Samus, Link, Zelda, Peach, Bowser, Fox, Yoshi, Ice Climbers, Ness, Captain Faclon and Kirby. I can’t tell you the secret characters or it wouldn’t be a secret. I suggest you place this game on your wish list this year.

This is the worst game that I have ever played. I like Mario sports meeting but I thought that this game was horrible. Mario goes around cleaning graffiti. THATS IT! Mario is a hero, not a Janitor!

Wow they never stop thinking up ways to make mario fresh and innovative. NOT! this game is a disgrace. A cheesey tale but what would you expect from a mario game. The thing with this mario game is that the gameplay itself is so much like that of other platformer sports meeting that it became repetetive and dull in about 5 or 10 minutes. Other game sites gave this scores like 8.8 and 8.6 but I would dare say it only earns a 5.5 or a 6.0. I reflect mario’s days are numbered unless nintendo wants to stick with the played out concept that graphics dont make a splendid game. Right graphics alone can’t make a splendid game but it seems now that nintendo can’t either. I am no longer impressed by the simplistic character models that nintendo’s latest offerings show. A cartoon plumber jumping around and landing on the enemies head is quite frankly played out. How much longer is nintendo going to dwell in the past. This isn’t the 1980’s/early 1990’s anymore NINTENDO YOUR FANS HAVE GROWN UP AND SO SHOULD YOU. Or else be left in the dust which is where im sure you will be when the next generation of consoles comes out. Ps3 will be getting my hard earned cash and not nintendo not after being mandatory to play inferior harvest such as this.
