Super Mario Sunshine does so much right but also so much wrong. It's hubworld is great, each area feels connected with this great sense of atmosphere. It's presentation is probably it's greatest strength, with a fun visual look, great detailed areas and good music.

The Gameplay is hit or miss. Mario can sometimes be super satisfying to play and other times you'll be annoyed when he slips on something or doesn't do exactly what you wanted him to do. Level design is also hit or miss. Sometimes the levels are super fun and can lead to fun moments where you think outside the box. Other times the levels are so broken that you wanna break the disc.

It's a frustrating game, but if you push through the bullshit, you'll see a game with so much fun to be had and so much ambition to achieve.
