At first I was quite conflicted on Mario Sunshine, I was having fun which was interrupted with the odd annoying level. However as it went on, I found it just got more and more frustrating to play, especially during the secret levels and overall wasn't really enjoying myself anymore. I do believe there is a really good game here which you could easily find if you ignore some of the more annoying parts and focus on the tropical setting and music which is one of my highlights, but it's too obvious to me that a lot of this game feels half-baked or not even playtested, such as the chuckster level feeling broken at times with the way you're thrown.

Overall I'm glad I've gotten to play Mario Sunshine, but it's definitely the black sheep of the 3D Mario games to me, and nothing makes me want to comeback to this game to 100% it.
