The History of Super Mario Sunshine | VideoGameDocs
Unpolished, unfinished, rushed, these are all words used to describe the game that is Super Mario Sunshine. Releasing 6 years after Super Mario 64 revolutionized the home console industry, Super Mario Sunshine looked to build and somewhat redefine what it meant to play Mario.
Although it received good reviews upon it's initial release, and saw some moderate success financially, Super Mario Sunshine has been the topic of fierce debate since its release. Is it a good game? Is it a good Mario game?
Who knows, but today on VideoGameDocs we'll be discussing the History of Super Mario Sunshine.

    My top 5: Super Mario Sunshine Super Mario Odyssey Super Mario 64 Super Mario 3 Super Mario World I started on SNES but 2D never really did it for me too much. 3D Mario is king and Sunshine is the king of kings.

    This game just didn't click with me. I didn't even finish it. I rented it back then and I can't remember specifically what the issue was, but I got bored and it didn't hold my interest enough.

    Love Sunshine! It is not my first 3D Mario, so not nostalgia talking: definitely think it’s better than both Galaxy games!

    Too much drama and idiocy over videogames, especially videogames such as these which feature a kind of lasting warm creativity and lack of boobies, bullets, and the reassurance that you're totally a cool manly grown-up.

    DK64 will always be one of my favourite games. As a fan of Metroid, I love the aspect of back tracking to explore, and collectathons are fun to me still. Grant is still one of my favourite composers and he has consistently made gorgeous and catchy tracks that are immersive.

    The 1.5 GB disc, the most stupidest decision ever. Sure I may have had a NES as a Kid, before being a teenager, but never went back to Nintendo once I did hit my teenage years. They are way to kid focused. Never learning from the better ones like ps1 and 2, I'm no fan of MS'es stuff though. XBox and Win.

    I loved this game. My sisters 100% the game, i would follow suit, my dad would constantly play the rhino mini game, and the whole family would play the donkey kong split screen shooter. I still think this game oozes charm and was the most fun to play. We got hours and hours of entertainment. I was shocked to learn other people did not like this game

    Hot take: Sunshine was better than Galaxy and Odyssey. Something about the platforming in that game was just peak, both in terms of being able to combo it using FLUDD, but then even those bonus levels, it really felt like there was a lot of focus on being able to jump well in a super controlled finessed way. Also the vibes were amazing, loved all the latin music and the locations.

Love it still even with all the flaws that now I see. also, great video!!

    I remember my friend just bought a SegaCD/32x and was playing “next level” graphics of Power Ranger CD, I literally saw his heart broke when he saw the first commercial DKC for the SNES. That’s how great DKC from RARE was at that time.

    At the time I enjoyed the game, but it never felt like a game I love. I regularly replay Mario 64, and still enjoy Galaxy when I play it, but somehow replaying Sunshine is always disappointing, and I lose interest quickly. I can't really put the reasons for this into words, but it's just not that fun. Also, baby Bowser sucks ass.

    I can still remember waiting at my local rental shop the day the game dropped. I was late to school cause I needed to ensure I got my hands on this day 1! They had 10 copies and all were rented by 8:10am. 😂 This makes me want to go back and kick the tires on it again. There are some great GC mods today that allow for better streaming and no longer being dependent on those aging optical drives.

    The game sucked. Nothing but the usual biased game reviewers who are Nintendo fanboys. No different than the horrible 'Tears of the Kingdom' pretending to be a Zelda game, and the game reviewers trying to convince us it is one as well. Meanwhile, the rest of us are looking around clearing noticing it's not a Zelda game. Same with "Mario" Sunshine.

  • @HectorGonzalez-qx9nk
    @HectorGonzalez-qx9nk 25 дней назад

    It’s a shame that Sunshine and other GameCube games like Wind Waker suffered due to Satoru Iwata cutting development time while still maintaining some quality in order for the GameCube to compete against the PS2 and Xbox. It feels so weird for Nintendo to do that now. They follow the blue ocean strategy and will delay games until they’re ready. And any left over stuff ends up getting used in direct sequels like Galaxy 2 or Tears of the Kingdom. I think that’s why Sunshine fans clamor for a Sunshine 2; to have Nintendo make the disaster relief game Sunshine was meant to be with all the cut content. I think it’s a strong possibility of that being the focus of the next 3D Mario game due to Odyssey’s success and the testing ground that was Bowser’s Fury.

    44:54 oh man, seeing all of those launch tittle covers really takes me back to when the PS2 was about to launch and those games were all over store brochures and catalogs. I remember thinking how next gen it felt coming in DVD cases, and how the art looked next gen for some reason as well.
