- Super Mario Sunshine is wacky, ambitious, and polarizing, but its greatest legacy will always be its world. It might not have the scope of other Mario titles, but Sunshine's commitment to its tropical setting provides one of the most immersive experiences in the series! 🎮🎨

I just discovered your channel recently. I have really enjoyed your reflection videos. I am making my way through all of them and they are very well done and enjoyable. I look forward to more.
Thanks so much! That means a lot, and I’m glad you’re enjoying the content. Would love to hear your thoughts as you’re watching them, and let me know what games you’d like to see me cover next!
Fantastic video! World building is one of my favorite aspects of games. With books you're limited to your imagination, with tv / movies you're stuck with what's onscreen, but games have that unique ability to let you explore and feel like you exist in a world. Culture is a huge part of that. Nintendo has a way of creating worlds with a unique and memorable culture that makes you want to explore!
Thanks so much! I agree, and it’s one of the reasons I love gaming. I’m fascinated with the personal immersion that comes with putting the player in the driver’s seat, and I feel like it makes experiences like this so much more valuable. Thanks so much for sharing!
Its insane this game' world still is so referenced years later, I recently played some Mario Maker 2 levels based on Sunshine :>
That’s awesome! I agree, the unapologetic sense of self this game has really makes it super unique. There’s nothing else in the series quite like it!
The secret levels were my nightmare! I unironically had a nightmare with the secret stage music in it. That was the night right before I beat the game! But overall Mario Sunshine was fun (except for the secret levels) and I enjoyed my experience with it!
I hear ya! The world and main levels themselves are amazing, but the secret stages are ridiculous. Like between the chuckster, the pachinko machine, and lily pad level, it’s a crowded field of contenders for “most frustrating Mario level.” Great game though!
@@GamesAreCreative this is super unrelated but have you played A Link Between Worlds, it’s one of my favorites and I was wondering if you would ever consider making a video about it one day.
I love ALBW! I don’t know if I’ll be able to get to it for a while, but I would love to do an episode on it. The open-ended design is really cool, especially since it was before even BotW. Definitely more Zelda coming soon!
I REALLY need to go back replay this one, thanks for the video
Of course! Glad you enjoyed it! I had a great time returning to Sunshine. Let me know how the replay goes when you return to it!
Really looking forward to this.
Me too! It’s been a blast to work on!
"...or do I carry an atmosphere of insecurity and pride?" I've been intentional about tackling pride for the past couple of years. It may sound sanctimonious but for the past two years, I've been wearing a burlap band around my wrist for the coming month. Sort of a "sackcloth and ashes" daily reminder of humility during my culture's celebration of hubris. Everybody who sees this video is going to be subjected to the culturally gauche idea that pride carries a negative connotation and THAT is building culture. Great video.
Thanks Levi! It really is so easy for me to be influenced by how the culture says I should think and feel, so I need reminders like this of the type of man I want to be. It’s cool to hear what that’s looked like for you too! Appreciate you man!
The people are clamoring for you to play Outer Wilds
I know. The demand is reaching a fever pitch. I’ll grab it on Switch soon and exclusively capture all my footage on that version.
