played as part of Mario 3D All-Stars on Switch

Super Mario Sunshine passed me by as a kid, which is crazy seeing as everyone I know has played it.
However, because of that, I had no attachment to the game going in… meaning that the flaws were all glaringly obvious.
The platforming is some of the worst in Mario’s history - only made easy by FLUDD and the levels without him jesus christ are they infuriating.
I’ve no idea if this was a quirk from being ported to the switch but the way mario just runs at the slightest touch of the analogue stick is crazy.

The location was cute and the idea of the more shines you get, the wider the range of sunshine becomes, gradually lighting up the island - and i appreciated that all of the ‘worlds’ were cohesive to the main island you’re on.
Besides that - the story is nothing major, peach is kidnapped you have to save her etc.

It’s fine but it’s absolutely aged the worst out of the mario series.
