Next in line for the 3D Mario titles is Super Mario Sunshine. This may be my favourite of them, or at least closely tied with the Galaxy games. This is the first and only Mario game that has extensive voice acting from multiple characters. Not sure why they did it or why it never came back, but it was cool while it was there. The F.L.U.D.D mechanics the game was built around are a lot of fun and added many interesting aspects to the gameplay. When they take it away, the game doesn't control the best. however. It was also cool to have Yoshi around, which we wouldn't see again until Galaxy 2. There are many hidden shines to collect, and as a result I have not 100% it yet, but I do want to at some point. The music is great and quite memorable, but Galaxy still has the better music. A lot of fun and worth your time.
