"I had promised we were going to release Sunshine in the summer," he says, "so I figured, well, if we make it a hot, summery theme, then the staff will feel obligated to hurry up and get the game done in time laughs." Mario 64 Part Deux?īut even with Sunshine's new water pump and beach-front properties, many have joked that the plumber's GameCube adventure looks so much like Mario 64, it should be called Mario 65. As for the game's name and tropical setting, Miyamoto had more practical concerns in mind. "You could spray ink up and then use water to spray and wash the ink away." Eventually that concept would become the major new game-play feature in Sunshine-a water-pumping backpack the plumber can use to get around, attack enemies, solve puzzles, and more (see sidebar below). "We actually started off with the idea of creating a game where you were writing and washing off graffiti," says Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto. "Luigi, my own brother! Mama Mia! It-a not so happy time in my life." Luckily for Mario, Nintendo finally got that new idea. I almost really a-kill him." Mario told us.
"Once, I hitting Luigi so hard in the Smash Bros. "I say to Nintendo, I say, 'Please for-to-be giving me the new game!' They say the 'No! No until we getting the new ideal' So I wait for new idea, and I take the mushroom.and the more mushroom." But Mario's mushroom habit and no-work-and-all-play lifestyle took its toll: He was too out of it to star in the Nintendo 64 RPG Paper Mario (an old 2D stunt double from Donkey Kong filled in), and he put on so much weight, Yoshi refused to give him rides. Mario asked in an exclusive interview with EGM. Searching for blue coins might also uncover hidden levels, where you'll have to complete tricky challenges without the safety of the FLUDD's powers.Īll right, let's cut right to the chase: Just what in Hades has Nintendo's biggest star been doing the past six years since his last steady platforming gig, Mario 64? Playing Mario Tennis and Golf all day, then Mario Partying with friends all night, that's what.
Besides earning them through the levels, players can trade in hard-to-find blue coins for extra Shine Sprites. While you can finish the game with a modest amount of collected Shine Sprites, Super Mario Sunshine encourages players to attempt to collect them all. Since most levels are filthy with slippery goo, you'll have to use the FLUDD often and with accuracy to avoid taking damage or slipping. In addition to cleaning up graffiti and goo, Mario can also use the FLUDD to hover in the air, boost up like a rocket, and more. By wearing the device on his back, Mario can spray out water using a handful of nozzles. Playing Super Mario Sunshine feels exceptionally different from other games in the franchise, mainly due to the introduction of the FLUDD device. Whether it's fighting a boss, collecting hidden coins, or completing tough platforming challenges, there's a great level of variety in Sunshine's level design. Each world contains 8 unique “episodes” or missions, tasking players with exploring various beaches, harbors, and bays. After the initial tutorial and cut-scenes, players can explore the hub-world of Isle Delfino, accessing various worlds through painting-like portals. In terms of structure, Super Mario Sunshine is very similar to Super Mario 64, Super Mario Galaxy, and other 3D Mario platformers. Determined to uncover the true identity of this shadow-version of himself, Mario chases the culprit through various worlds. While scrubbing the streets with his new water-spraying backpack, Mario encounters a shadowy doppelganger who attempts to kidnap Princess Peach. Despite having just landed on the island, Mario is immediately accused of the crime based on eye-witness accounts and sentenced to clean up the area as punishment. Upon arrival, the crew learns that Isle Delfino has recently endured a string of graffiti incidents, forcing the bright and revered Shine Sprites into hiding. In this lighthearted adventure, Mario and his friends take a trip to the tropical Isle Delfino for a relaxing vacation.
By making these interesting changes while paying homage to previous games like Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine ends up being a fantastic and vibrant adventure. However, Sunshine introduces some very unique gameplay mechanics to provide a distinctly different experience. As with almost every Nintendo-developed 3D Mario platformer, Super Mario Sunshine is a joyful, fun, and content-rich experience. The Super Mario franchise is often considered one of the greatest of all time, and out of all of them, Super Mario Sunshine might be the most unique.
