Our Editorial Review
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
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!

Mario Sunshine Posted 13 March 2007
I ordered this by accident. I thought it was a Gameboy Advance Game but it is not.
Super Mario Sunshine Posted 23 February 2007
I'm definitely a Nintendo era kid. I grew up more with the SNES, and of course Mario dominated the game industry in all sense of the word. I LOVED Super Mario World and Super Mario 64. Then... finally a new Mario game was to be released on the GameCube. I picked this up not too long ago and don't get me wrong, it's imaginative, kid/ adult friendly, graphically beautiful and all the other intuitive things the Mario franchise has built itself on. BUT... it lacks some of the things that made all the other Mario games so wonderful. Remember the blocks from all the other Mario games? They are virtually gone along with many other elements that made Mario games so unique. Rest assured though, Super Mario Sunshine still retains much of its classic Super Mario 64 feel. I really like this game, I just wish it was a little less modernized.
The ultimate Mario game Posted 15 February 2007
I can't believe some of these reviews say this game is terrible. Ignor them! Anyway, Super Mario Sunshine is very fun and enjoyable. Mario is taking a relaxing vacation to Isle Delfino. But when he arrives, the place covered with sludge and graffiti. To top that, you are the blame for the mess! Thats when the adventure starts.
The game graphics are spectacular, exspecially the water. The water shows reflections of nearby objects and slow, rolling waves.
Mario has a partner in this game. Its a robotic, water blasting backpack named FLUDD. You can drench monsters and boost up in the air with him. But there are times when you get FLUDD stolen and you have to go through obstacle courses without him.
Oh yeah, Yoshis are back too. You can ride on the little dinosaurs and they spew juice at enemies. The Yoshis have to eat fruit constantly or soon they will dissapear and go back into thier eggs.
That's my short and sweet review. Buy this game!
One of Nintendo's Greatest Mario Hits Posted 12 February 2007
Here is a legend in the books. This is one of the funnest Mario games of all time. This was absolutely awsome. As soon as I started playing I couldn't stop. I think I played it for about three months straight. It is not that I couldn't beat it, it was that I was playing around trying to get blue coins and such. This is one game, even though I am a kid trust me, you will not be dissapointed with.
Possibly the Best Mario Game Ever! Posted 06 February 2007
SMS is amazing. There's nothing else to say. Its gameplay is flawless, its music and setting infectious. The variety of objectives, and the amount of these, is amazing. The game is a joy to play again and again, and it has stunning stylized graphics and water effects. I couldn't recommend this game more. The only way this game could have been better is if the camera wasn't as problematic as it is. Otherwise, there are no problems here. One of the must-have games on the GameCube.
