Beaten with 120 shine sprites. I've played through Super Mario Sunshine a few times in the past, but I was surprised how challenging this second 3D Mario platformer was. The quirky addition to the gameplay with the FLUDD water-shooting mechanic serves to mix things up nicely, though it's easy to become over-reliant on the hover ability that this provides and I do miss the long jump from Super Mario 64. Sadly I played before the announcement of the patch to add inverted camera controls, which didn't help with the playability! I also prefer to see more variety to the game environments, but I can see that the exploration of the tropical theme serves to add cohesiveness to the game as a whole.
