I have heard quite a few things about Mario Sunshine before I started playing it, from one person I heard it was a really bad game, from another I heard it was essentially a B-movie in the fact its so bad its good...and from another they told me its a good fun game.
I lie somewhere in the middle in the fact its a really fun game with some nightmare fuel levels due to them being tricky by design and also the mechanics of sunshine makes them hard. Like 64 had some freaking maddening levels but some of these were in another league (Im looking at you river leaf and Pachinko level, I didnt do them because I didnt wanna suffer the pure torment considering I lost it in some of the non-Fludd levels.)
But anyway, for the most part, I actually really loved Sunshine, sure the voice acting in the story leaves...something to be desired but the area's in this game are superb and about 60 to 70% of the episodes were pure fun and great in design, like gathering the red coins out of the coral reef or the mysterious hotel delfino level. Some of the bosses are absolute classics that are really fun and have gone down to be favourites in the mario universe, like Petey Pirahna and Gooper Blooper so if that doesnt tell you all the greatness this game accomplished, I dont know what will.
Overall, this is a super fun game and despite its flaws, is really something special in my opinion. It may make me want to punch someone in some places and its not exactly perfect with its sensitive controls and unbalanced mechanics at some points but its fun factor overall more then makes up for it. I probably wont pick this up again for a long time but im very happy that I played this.
