Super Mario Sunshine is still what I believe to be one of the boldest decisions made by Nintendo with their most popular and profitable IP. F.LU.D.D., Mario's hose/backpack companion, is the primary gimmick in this game; this means that paint and other substances that must be washed away are very common throughout the game. The usage of FLUDD in the level design is pretty fun and satisfying, and the levels are laid out very similarly to Mario 64. The physics of the game are obscenely janky and the game sometimes just completely breaks even when played normally. Still, the game has plenty of content and collectibles, great level design, fun bosses and a very nice vibe.
