The Official Super Mario Sunshine Thread

Geez, I just got it today. Took it over to my girl friend's house and we were all in gaming heaven. They were all blown away and we all just say around taking turns having a blast. It's about time a game like this came out. I hope I can keep up on my homework over the next few weeks. What do you guys think about that water? Cool looking shit if you ask me.

It's awesome! The water pack is so innovative and cool. Anybody who says the graphics and gameplay aren't improved much over Mario 64 should be brutally beaten (I cannot believe the overcritical, pathetic and insanely tedious fanboy flame wars being waged over this game over on forums like Gaming Age and Xengen's War Room). The vastness of the levels is overwhelming at times (in a GOOD way). And being able to see far into the distance is sweet and erases painful memories of all the fog and crap draw distance of the N64 era.. And as kbuchanan said, the water and liquid effects are amazingly fluid. I can't wait to get Yoshi! I heard people who preordered were supposed to get a Mario themed water gun (I didn't get one at my EB and the guy didn't know anything about it...). Can anyone confirm this?

It's different. It's a really strange combination of elements that forms, I dunno what. I'm not complaining, just commenting. I haven't formed any real opinion yet (what with my whole 3 shines).

To me the music in Bianco Hills sounds like it's straight out of Zelda OOT.

Weeeeeeeeee! I'm having a great time with this one. Last platformer I played was probably...Rayman 2 on Dreamcast. And it's been a really long time since I've played Mario 64, so this is all that much better. I've seen the first 3 levels (I have 9 shines) and I must say that the remix for the original Mario Bros. theme (when you go for the shines after Evil Mario takes your water pack) is so bad ass it made me smile while I played.

I see a carnival on an island in the distance, I can't wait till I get there! And let it be known that the Wavebird, indeed rocks.

4 more hours into it and I'm in love. The water, the return of some of the old baddies and the bosses...joy.

Can't wait to really dig into this game tomorrow.

I'm impressed so far. I'm thinking the critics are a bit jaded, but what do I know.

My thoughts are here, but they're nothing most of you wouldn't already know.

[StormShadow]

This game is so sweet, it makes my nipples all hard and leaky.....Seriously.

Just got my 10th Shine.

I was a tad disappointed until I got to "Down with Peter Piranha"; then I realized how damn cool this water pump really is.

On top of that, this game is damn challenging. From the difficulty level I've faced so far, my mouth is foaming thinking of the possibilities that lie ahead.

I'm glad someone finally remembered to put platform elements into a 3D platformer.

A wonderful game so far that seems to actualy fix all the gripes I had about Super Mario 64.
