Super Mario Sunshine

"However, on searching through Nintendois official E3 site, eagle-eyed surfers would have uncovered a couple of surprises amongst the listed Gamecube titles n namely, 100 Marios and Mario Sunshine."

"Super Mario Sunshine is the next step in video games. While it will never be as revolutionary as its forefathers, it is still an evolutionary game that progresses the 3D platformer into new territory. While copycats may try to take away Mario’s thunder, the skies will part and there will be Sunshine for everyone in paradise. Mario Sunshine, as I stated before, is an awesome game."

"Nintendo’s mantra for the GameCube seems to be ‘shorter games, more often’, and this is the one area in which Sunshine may come unstuck... How would the world react to a full-price Mario game with less substance than its predecessors? If Nintendo is taking a more episodic approach this time around, it could spell trouble."

"Everyone’s favorite plump plumber returns to the console scene in Super Mario Sunshine, and he doesn’t disappoint. Clean up Isle Delfino in this gorgeous, creative platformer. It sure beats the pants off his brother running around that haunted house."

"...Mario is back and I’ll take what I can get. This is one of the best games currently out for the GameCube, it’s just not as innovative as I had hoped it would be."
