Welcome aboard. We are taking you on a steamy little trip to isle. Delfino� ironically when you arrive the village people might just blame you for ruining your land. So after an unfair testimony you start your venture. As you progress you will meat interesting characters and be whooped by little bugs. Have a safe flight. -2 hours later- Welcome to isle. Delfino where the citizens are VERY hot tempered and give a few free food!
From the get-go sunshine is a blast. It really doesn�t get harder until about�say�40 shines in. This isn�t a lot of shines considering the 180 you are set to collect. Why is this different than any other Mario game? Well first off their isn�t a snow level-it is all very tropical. One thing that really sets it aside though are the 3 special water packs. Oh! I forgot about ridding Yoshi! That is always fun!
The beep-bop-doot-deet-do stuff is still here. It all glimers under the sunshine in which provided by the game. The voice acting however is a different story. Ahem, it sucks!
I would say the graphics are great but lets cover a few downsides. Lots of orange textures that make my eyes burn. The invisible walls drive me nuts! Well those are just the bad points which are heavily out weighed by the good points! Yoshi, Mario, and all of the Delfino inhabitants look awesome! Notice I didn�t include peach! The water affects makes the game a little perky. Mario-the male conquer of the gaming industries knocks the competition back on their butts. The only thing is Nintendo ounce again beat themselves. In order they out-weighed themselves. Here is the order- animal crossing-super Mario sunshine-star fox adventures-metroid prime. See what I mean? But Sunshine shines bright none the less!
Sometimes you might struggle with moving Mario around the level while blasting out of your cannon. The different types of water cannons are all easily controlled. Some levels will be so fun and loose in controls you could swear it was just a mini-game!
What does the game-play comprise of? Jumping around huge worlds in which you must complete various missions. It really does vary from watermelon contests-to-surfing blooper(?) things. The action can get fast but when you have to search for say a button which is surrounded by other buttons it feels like you are playing Ty The Tasmanian Tiger-not a great thing! What really brings you back are the shine sprits. Each one takes minimal effort but just enough to keep you glued to that T.V. of yours. The flood device and its 3(4) functions make this game what it is. I found it to be far more enjoyable than Mario 64-but hey, we still have the stupid wandering camera!
Super Mario Sunshine will run your controls for at least a month. If you are into gamers where you jump around with water cannons, ride dinasours, fly, and jump along crazy-cool obstacle courses-than you need to pack your bags and head on over to isle. Delfino!
Story:8
Mario takes off an adventure much more inspiring than �OH NO SAVE THE PRINCESS!� storys.
Fun Factor:10
There is nothing in Nintendo�s power that could have made this game better. It is just all around fun!
Sound/Music:7
The music is alive but the voice acting is horrid
Graphics:10
It sparkles like sunshine�oh wait a second�
Controls:9
Eh, it controls like a buiety but can become very tedius.
Game-Play:7
Mario is a hard one to ride�no wait that is Yoshi�sorry about that.
Fun Factor:10
Mario is, ounce again a hard one to ride but one you have ridden him along hard paths you will relize that you want to ride again. As this review fades away into the darkness I must wish that sunshine will live on.
Overall:8.7/10
SMS may be one of the best Nintendo games ever�wait�.oh�it is one of the best Nintendo games ever!
