Super Mario Sunshine lives on the classic Mario, but takes it another level with even less side-scrolling than Super Mario 64, and a whole lot more sense of freedom. The boss fights are fun instead of frustrating, the levels create more and more challenge, and the controls, despite the Side Somersault, are easy to master.
Mario, Peach, and Toads head for a nice Hawaii plus Disney World vacation to Isle Delfino(watch for the inside joke on the GameCube's old working name "Dolphin") when Mario is accused for polluting the island with slimy graffiti, taking away Sunshine and the Shine Sprites, which have vanished, and making everywhere an unhealthy, dangerous, depressing-looking place. The real culprit is someone who we all know, but has dressed up to look like Mario. He repeatedly steals Princess Peach away, just like a famous relative of his. Mario must now use the new F.L.U.D.D.(Flash Liquid Ultra Dousing Device, watch for the bottom left corner of the screen when it analyzes Mario)water pumping backpack, which gameplay is based on, to defeat enemies, triumph over obstacles and solve the mystery of Who, Why and What happened? As he collects Shine Sprites from missions, Sunshine will return to the darkened island.
The music is great! I love the mysterious and remixed tunes that appears in the Shadow Mario scenes, plus the obstacle courses, though some of the sunny, bright music doesn't fit the mood even if it fits the setting.
Nintendo is starting to regain its' reputation to not have the best possible graphics, but having original gameplay that's fun and smooth.
The variety of activities that you are aloud to do it great, and the ways to collect Shine Sprites are numerous. The voices are fantastic and never boring, the graphics are as good as the many computer-generated images of Mario you see in video game magazines, and the cut-scenes are great and hilarious! I fully recommend this game, and to get a guide or a couple Nintendo Power magazines to help you out, but you should really be "Okey-Dokey!"
