I grew up with Super Mario Sunshine so it’s incredibly nostalgic for me. Even though I know it has flaws I love this game and play it every year.
I have a lot I could say but I’ll keep it brief. I love that every level almost has a little story going on as you progress through it. I love that the levels feel like they’re actual places on the island and that they have a bunch of NPCs to talk. In fact there are some NPCs in this game that if you talk to them in every episode in a level they almost have a character arc it’s super cool and the fact that you can completely miss it if you don’t talk to the characters for fun is a real shame cause there was clearly work put into the dialogue.
Gameplay wise I always have fun playing it. FLUDD is fun to use to navigate levels and fight enemies. I even don’t mind collecting blue coins cause to me it’s just a fun thing to collect to earn more shine sprites even if you don’t need any of them to finish the game.
I know the game can be glitchy at times but I kinda like some of the glitches. I’ve played this game so much that it’s fun to glitch or exploit my way into levels early. For instance this time when I played through the game I tackled all 7 levels episode 1 first before moving on to episode 2 then I’d play all the levels episode 2 before moving onto 3 and I did that all the way till the end.
Now if you’ve played the game you’d know that you need to beat episode 4 of Pinna Park to unlock Sirena Beach. But using some glitches I was able to get into Sirena Beach whenever I wanted! Even getting into Pianta Village early is easy with a well timed triple jump!
I know the game isn’t for everyone but it was my first ever console game, so I have have very strong feelings towards it and it will probably always be my favourite Nintendo game.
