To be fair, the controls in Sunshine aren't very tight and you have to compensate a lot with flood because of it. All other Mario games, including 64, have way better controls. Always amazes me how well speedrunners move in Sunshine.
@@MOORE4U2 I don't think nerfed is the right word here. That would be right if Mario couldn't jump as far or high or was missing moves. But that's not the case. The problem is that he doesn't react to your inputs as snappy as he does in other games. The controls don't feel tight, more floaty. You can probably compensate for that by doing your inputs way in advance, but it's not fun gameplay.
As a kid, I used to use Mario's belly slide move to spread the goop around and try to make a bigger mess in Delfino Plaza. Definitely what Nintendo intended :)
So even the villagers on the airstrip believe Mario is the one who caused all the damage with the paint, and still trust him to clean it up by telling him to take the one magical pump that can save the island. That's like, if you heard someone stole a car last night, you met someone who looked exactly like the culprit, and you gave them the keys to keep your car safe for you
Isn't this how the entire third world interacts with Western civilization? Is Super Mario Sunshine a metaphor for decolonization? I guess that would make Shadow Mario the J- ...uh, nevermind 👀
I remember only getting all Shines because I asked a friend to help me get the missing ones, and by memory, the same day, he did it for me and I was amazed. That was my Prima guide or youtube guide lol. An actual in-person guide.

I remember as a kid watching my uncle play I was always just like "If evil Mario stole the Fludd, why would he give it back?" At the end of Fludd-less levels
Yeah, that one was rough. For me, the hardest one was in Delfino Isle where you have to ride the Yoshi on top of some boats to reach a small island with that wiggly-spounge material that requires fruit juice to clear. The challenge it self was hard enough, but just getting to it was just as bad, if not worse.
@@HarmfulDesign Yeah but the thing is, that hard intention was pretty 😍 broken easily. It isn't that hard to get there through a glitch trick but mainly I see Average Trey pull off everything.

@@HarmfulDesign I feel you but I like watching glitches speedruns and various but I'm not much good at performing them. Except a few times with Miss Mouse for Flavio on TTYD but for fun, it took me way longer to accomplish it all successfully compared to the runner Almo I was watching.

I like the one brainlet in the chat saying "Sunshine's eternal problem of not being intuitive." The entire game's premise is spraying graffiti with water. I as a kid saw the drawings of goop on the wall and thought I should spray them, and doing so made platforms appear. And judging by literally everyone else in chat, so did they. Sounds like a skill issue, Aggrogravor.
I owned that one as a kid. I still have at least one of the free postcards which were included. I used it to cover a stain on my desk, and its still there.
Ironic that one of the few times it mentions belly hopping/sliding is on the bridge in Pianta Village, where that can very easily cause you to glitch through and fall into the chasm. I learned and relearned this the hard way as a kid. And as an adult when I revisited it.
I like that the guide made sure to tell you to use every movement tech at least once. Genuinely not a bad introduction to how to Mario, assuming you get through the whole thing.
Aww, I loved books like that before the internet. I knew they weren't always perfect- but I had a lot of fun and learned some cool things. Thanks for the video.
The way I always did Goopy Inferno is tightroping along the fence to the big tree which I would climb up before doing a leap of faith from one of the leaves to the area with your fludd and the mayor, a lot slower than you could be but it felt cool so I kept doing it.
When it said that the very first shine in the game was medium difficulty, I honestly thought that just meant that medium was the base level difficulty of the entire game, lol.
The writer is actually red-green color blind. I checked the color chart and purple appears as just blue. Btw, most people are just red-green color impaired and can see color mostly normal. They just have trouble with fine color differences. E.g. very dark blue looks like black. Total color blindness is very rare.
@@frootloopthechatot9766 there's blue-yellow. Also much more rarely and often with other issues in addition, complete colour blindness - monochromacy. And looking it up I learned red-green colour blindness can come from a few different anomalies that express differently. I didn't consider protanomaly and deuteranomaly would both be red-green just not in the same way. Deuteranomaly is the one that's most common.
@@emdivine i noticed ive always struggled with yellow to orange, blue to purple, and pink to purple.

34:50 I never did a triple jump, I think I did a backflip, but yes I've been using that skip since my very first playthrough as a kid. I've never done it the intended way 😆 OMG the random "leave in the middle of this stage to go practice on a different boat in a different stage" made me laugh so hard.
In Corona Mountain, the last boat is a bit easier to use if you think about it and use it like you are paddling a real boat. That's how I played it recently, and it was a bit easier. It's not intuitive for the game
I never had issues with it either. The only truly janky part of this game is the Pachinko stage. If you struggle with any other part (including the sand bird and the chuckster level), that's a skill issue.
Tutorial Level: “Medium difficulty” Several very easy shines: “INSANE difficulty” Scrubbing Sirena Beach (one of the hardest Shines for me as a kid): “Easy difficulty” 😂😭
I love how nearly every level in which you lose FLUDD is ranked as "INSANE" which is pretty accurate to how some of them felt in my childhood.

What I enjoyed most was spraying the male residents of Isle Delfino, because the way they yelled "Noooo!" always cracked me up.
So even the villagers on the airstrip believe Mario is the one who caused all the damage with the paint, and still trust him to clean it up by telling him to take the one magical pump that can save the island.
That's like, if you heard someone stole a car last night, you met someone who looked exactly like the culprit, and you gave them the keys to keep your car safe for you
When you put it like that, it sounds really stupid. Like giving the bank vault code to a known bank robber.
Given how many of them hoard shine sprites themselves, I doubt any of them would've actually used fludd to clean anything anyway, lol
maybe they knew he didnt do it and just didnt want to deal with the mess themselves
Isn't this how the entire third world interacts with Western civilization?
Is Super Mario Sunshine a metaphor for decolonization?
I guess that would make Shadow Mario the J- ...uh, nevermind 👀
I really like the text on the cover that says "All Blue Coins EXPOSED" and imagining it's some youtuber drama or something
I felt really bad about pulling the squid's arms off as a kid. It's such a weirdly cruel way to do a boss.

Funny thing about the Chusksters. The Nintendo Power guide recommends using the smaller one by talking to him when he's at the edge of the platform.
That's guide he should have been using.
I'm glad linkus finally got over his Speedrun-phase and started to play the way developers intended it to be played. The hypest gameplay.
It almost seems like more of a challenge to follow the Prima Guide with some of the strategies that they tell you to use throughout the game.
yeah it was way too early on. the creators of the guide clearly would have missed a lot of secret strats.

I love the Manta boss...I don't find it too hard. But Corona Mountain...yeah, that boat's horrible 😨
