Gameplay

Mario using the Hover Nozzle
Mario using the Hover Nozzle

Super Mario Sunshine is the first game where Mario extensively uses an accessory, the FLUDD, to complete his mission. When Mario first acquires FLUDD, he can spray and hover in the air using its nozzles. Two other nozzles can be unlocked later in the game to extend FLUDD's functionality—the Rocket Nozzle which propels Mario high into the air, and the Turbo Nozzle which lets Mario sprint at high speed on land and water, as well as break down doors.[5] Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

Mario can also ride Yoshi, who can be used to eat certain insects and birds to produce yellow or blue coins or Shine Sprites. Yoshi can also eat fruit and spit the juice of that fruit. This juice can be used to dissolve orange generators acting as obstacles, as well as to briefly transform enemies into platforms for Mario to step on. The color of the Yoshi and the effect of its juice depend on the type of fruit last eaten. Yoshi will disappear if he touches a deep body of water or if he doesn't eat a fruit within a certain time limit.[6] This article is about the Nintendo character Yoshi. ...


Shine Sprites

The game contains a number of independent levels, which can be reached from the hub, Delfino Plaza. Gameplay is based on collecting "Shine Sprites" by completing various tasks in the levels. At first, each level features one task which may be completed to acquire a Shine Sprite. The player is then returned to Delfino Plaza and a new task is unlocked in the level they just played.[7] Each level consists of up to eight of these tasks, which may be played again at will once they are completed.[8] Once the player has collected enough Shine Sprites, a new level is available at Delfino Plaza, either by the acquisition of a new ability or a plot-related event.[9] Shine Sprites are also available by collecting and trading blue coins.[10] Gameplay proceeds in this fashion until all of the Shadow Mario-related missions are completed, which unlocks the level containing the final boss.

Story

Mario sets out for Isle Delfino for a vacation with Princess Peach, her long-time steward Toadsworth, and some other Toads. Upon arrival, Mario finds that the once-pristine island has been vandalized with graffiti and toxic waste. As a result of this pollution, sun-shaped objects called "Shine Sprites", the island's sources of power, have disappeared, and the island is covered in a perpetual shadow. The culprit seen spreading the graffiti is disguised as Mario (referred to as "Shadow Mario"). Mario is promptly arrested as he arrives the island. He is put on trial, found guilty, and ordered to clean up the mess and return the Shine Sprites. To help with the cleaning, Mario finds FLUDD, a powerful water cannon which is toted like a backpack. Mario sets out on an adventure to clear his name and locate the real criminal, while restoring tranquility and order to Isle Delfino.[12] Á Princess Peach ) is a video game character in Nintendos Mario video games series, often playing the damsel in distress character of the adventure series. ... // This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it. ... // This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it. ...

Development

A sequel to Super Mario 64 had been in the works for several years. The cancelled games Super Mario 64 2 and Super Mario 128 were some ideas Nintendo had for a direct sequel to Super Mario 64.[16] Some elements from Super Mario 128 were used in Super Mario Galaxy.[17] Super Mario Sunshine was first shown at Nintendo Space World in 2001,[18] as a semi-sequel rather than a direct sequel to Super Mario 64. The game was shown again at E3 in 2002.[19] For the Nintendo DS enhanced remake, see Super Mario 64 DS.

In an interview about the development of Super Mario Sunshine with producer Takashi Tezuka and directors Yoshiaki Koizumi and Kenta Usui, it was said that the game's development began with the idea of gameplay involving a water pump.[20] However, at first the developers thought that the world was too daringly out of character with Mario. Therefore, they tried using a man-type character, but thought this was too odd and that "if there was a man next to Mario, there is a sense of incongruity."[20] There were ten candidates for possible water nozzles, with FLUDD chosen due to its fitting in the game's setting despite it not being one of the favorites. Some preliminary gun-like water nozzles were removed due to all the controversy in the United States.[20] They also stated that several Yoshi features were omitted, such as Yoshi vomiting out water fed to him.[20] Takashi Tezuka ) (born November 17, 1960) is a video game designer for Nintendo. ...

Super Mario Sunshine was initially well received by game reviewers, and has as of today received mixed reviews and opinions. IGN praised the addition of the water backpack for improving the gameplay,[2] and GameSpy praised the "wide variety of moves and the beautifully constructed environments".[30] The game received a perfect score from Nintendo Power, who commented the "superb graphics, excellent music, clever layouts, funny cinema scenes and ingenious puzzles."[1] The Australian video game magazine Hyper gave Super Mario Sunshine the "Hyper Big Rubber Stamp of Approval." GameSpot criticized the various additions including the water backpack and Yoshi as mere gimmicks. They also found fault in the camera system and cited that the game seemed somewhat unpolished and rushed.[31] GameCritics.com criticized the game for featuring "little of the gameplay innovation that the Mario series is so famous for".[32] Nintendo Power magazine is a monthly news and strategy magazine formerly published in-house by Nintendo. ...

Nearly four years after the game's release, Matt Wales of ComputerAndVideoGames.com accused the game of having a "distinct lack of polish and occasional moments where the game practically stood up and shouted 'Oh my god! Somebody forgot to finish me!'" and that it "had Mario fans frothing at Nintendo's door."[33] As of June 2006, 5.5 million copies of Super Mario Sunshine have been sold, making it the second best-selling game for the Nintendo GameCube,[3] after Super Smash Bros. Melee.[34] It was also re-released as part of the Player's Choice titles, a selection of games with high sales sold for a reduced price, in 2003.[4] ComputerAndVideoGames. ...

The voice acting received criticism from reviewers. Craig Majaski of Gaming Age stated that Peach sounded odd because her voice was high pitched, and that Mario barely utters a word. He also stated: "Let's just say that if Nintendo decides to put voices in the next Mario game I hope they utilize some better voice talent or better audio compression methods to make it sound clear and halfway decent."[22] The voice acting also received criticism from N-Philes, who said that Peach's voice was sickeningly girly, and that Toadsworth was laughable. They also mentioned that Mario had very little to say, and that his speaking parts had been reduced to grunts.[35]

Super Mario Sunshine (1015 words)
Mario, Peach, Toadsworth and Toad and friends decided to take a vacation at the beautiful paradise of Isle Delfino, but later when they arrive they discover that someone is pretending to be Mario and is ruining the Isle Delfino by making a lot of graffiti everywhere.
Mario Sunshine is full of puzzles like Super Mario 64; only this time you have FLUDD which is your water pack to clean graffiti.
While Mario Sunshine’s story may not be a long one you still get the challenge to find all 120 shine sprites that can keep you busy for a while and some of the levels and bosses are really fun to play again once in a while.
Super Mario Sunshine GameCube Preview (1137 words)

This isn't what happens in Mario Sunshine, the polygons that actually make up the character are painted individually so that the mud shows up only in the spots where it would splash on.
Mario can use the front streams to clean off the areas in front, or fly overtop of the sludge, allowing the jet-like streams at his back to clean as he travels above it.
