Six years. Six long years weve had to wait for a new Mario game, and finally its here. And even considering the ridiculously unfair expectations, Super Mario Sunshine is almost entirely as good as youd hope and expect.
The premise of the game is that Marios tropical holiday is ruined when hes stitched up by an evil look-alike for daubing graffiti all over the island. Rather conveniently, theres a water pump waiting for him to use, which not only washes away the mess but also doubles as a handy jet pack. The jet pack aspect means that whenever you fall off something you have the chance to immediately recover. This built-in safety net means the game can afford to be far more ambitious in its level design than ever before, with massive levels filled with trampolines, tightropes, water-powered windmills, huge coral reefs, and mountains and mountains of platforms.
The whole thing looks amazing, too, with the most realistic water ever seen in a video game, and a near-infinite draw distance. On top of all this are rideable, fruit-juice-spewing Yoshis, extra water nozzles, super-hardcore platform levels where Shadow Mario nicks your jet pack, and goop-generating bosses who seem to live to make Princess Peachs laundry a nightmare.
After the sweet but rather short pleasures of Luigis Mansion and Pikmin, you need have no fear that Mario Sunshine is of a similarly brief nature. There are a total of 120 shines to collect--the same number of stars as in Super Mario 64--and the game world is at least as large and far more interactive. This is without question the best game on the GameCube yet. That may be no more than you'd expect from a Mario game, but it's certainly more than most of us mere mortals deserve. --David Jenkins
From the Manufacturer
No one messes with Mario's vacation! Super Mario Sunshine for the Nintendo GameCube is Mario's biggest, most amazing adventure ever. When Mario, Peach, and an entourage of Peach's loyal Toad friends set out for a tropical vacation on lovely Dolphin Island, they're in store for much more than a relaxing holiday. A mustachioed maniac has mucked up the entire island, and Mario is accused of committing the crime. Armed with a high-tech water cannon called FLUDD (Flash Liquidizer Ultra Dousing Device), Mario sets out to clean the island, clear his name, and solve the mystery of the villainous vandal.
Super Mario Sunshine sparkles with the same spot-on play control that's made Mario the main man in the vid biz for so many years. Mario has a gang of moves at his disposal, from his trusty jumping maneuvers to all-new FLUDD techniques. Mario can use FLUDD to clean up sludge pools, attack enemies, hover through the air, and more. Special nozzle attachments scattered throughout the island provide even more ways for FLUDD to come in handy.
Like in Super Mario 64, Mario has many things to accomplish in each area of Dolphin Island. Every time Mario completes a task, he is rewarded with a Shine Sprite. Mario's missions include battling giant Piranha Plants, navigating treacherous platform challenges, solving mysteries, and collecting Blue Coins. As Mario collects Shine Sprites, new areas of Isle Delfino are unlocked. This is Mario's biggest challenge ever!
Luckily, Mario isn't alone. Princess Peach and her entourage of Toads aren't much help, but the island's natural population of Yoshis sure are! Mario can ride multicolored Yoshis throughout the island, using their tongue-slurping strength to accomplish various tasks. Other familiar characters make cameos throughout the game, along with a wide variety of all-new characters. Powered by Nintendo GameCube, Super Mario Sunshine is a must-play. Classic Mario action, exciting new moves, and surprises galore will keep you clutching your controller for months to come.

This game is an instant classic, I can see him when he's my age and thinking back on his first video games. This one will always bring a smile to his face.
I got this through a secondary seller through amazon known as Penny Pinchers. I give them 5 out of 5 stars on their service because it was fast and the disc was in great condition. The packaging however had me cracking up. They had the game in a zip lock baggy with two sections of blue moon beer crate cardboard secured around it with tape. Also the mailing envelope was super strong and I doubt a rocket launcher could put a dent in the thing. I managed to save around 5-7 dollars by buying from amazon instead of buying this from a nearby gamestop.
Next on the list is, Mario Kart Double Dash. Now only if it didn't cost $100+ dollars on amazon... (whats up with that?)
I highly recommend this game for kids aged 7 & up. Both boys & girls alike will enjoy using Mario, FLUDD & Yoshi to beat the various levels within the game

I felt like I was taking a chance buying a used 20 year old game on amazon but the reviews for this seller are great! Im glad I purchased from this seller, I bought the game in "very good" condition. It came in original case, with the manual and only a few minor scratches (barely). Popped the game in my wii and it works just as new!!! I played for hours!! This game is so fun 😁 if you have never played this game and are a fan of mario, get it!!! It worth having in your collection in my opinion its one of the best gamecube games of all of time
Quanta nostalgia nel giocarlo... è uno dei titolo di Super Mario che più mi piace, ci giocavo da piccolina (mi era stato prestato) e ultimamente avevo voglia di comprarne uno per poterci giocare ogni volta che mi andasse e così è stato.
Ottimo venditore :)
