Despite its reputation as a subpar Mario game, Super Mario Sunshine has a surprisingly relevant message whose power has only grown in the 20 years since it was released.
has developed a strange reputation as the dark horse of 3D Mario games. Yes, Mario’s beach vacation has a dedicated fanbase, but it’s routinely ranked near the bottom of “mainline” Mario games . Indeed, my first playthrough wasn’t exactly the relaxing island getaway I’d hoped for. In fact, I don’t think I’ll ever go back to the dolphin-shaped Isle Delfino, at least not without a little kicking and screaming.
Most of the levels see Mario catapulted into massive platforming playgrounds, with plenty of space to mess around with the king of digital locomotion. As always, Mario’s a joy to control. Unlike other Mario games, though, he feels slippery; he doesn’t turn on a dime the way he does in the confoundingly tight, or any of his other previous outings. That’s usually not a problem, since a majority of’s levels emphasize speed and exploration more than they do platforming.
To clear his name and pay back his debt, Mario has to restore Isle Delfino to what it once was. What little story exists inplays second fiddle to the world it takes place in. The Piantas and Nokis don’t care about Peach getting kidnapped, they just want their home back.
