Super Mario Sunshine

**NintendoNut** · 11-08-2005, 06:09 PM

Sure, I played it, I loved it. I just didn't like it as much as Mario 64. I didn't particularly like FLUDD and the BLOCK LEVELS damn those to hell.

You have until Thursday to nominate 5 games to go on the list of games eligible to be next week's GotW. However, please check the GotW archive to see if your nomination has already been GotW.

My brother is almost done with it, but he hit a ro******* when I took the Cube with me to school. I'm about a third through.
It's fun for the most part, but some levels are just insanely frustrating. The toxic paint in particular is a major annoyance.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

**BEARD BURGER MASTER** · 11-08-2005, 10:39 PM

I nominate Super Famicom Wars.

Eh, it's an alright game, nothing worth talking about from me right now. =/

Codiekitty · 11-08-2005, 10:56 PM

I didn't play much, but what I did play was pretty blah.

No nominations from me this week.

Where are these lemmings going? The Super Nintendo Super Shire! Hop in line and follow them there!

Vaster · 11-09-2005, 12:45 AM

I wasn't a fan of the direction this game took. It is, in my opinion, the weakest of any of the main series Mario games(Not counting SMB2).

Chronos · 11-09-2005, 01:03 AM

After the greatness that was Super Mario 64, Super mario Sunshine was an extreme letdown.

This week, I'll nominate Resident Evil 4.

Leinad · 11-09-2005, 03:59 AM

I liked the game, I'm not sure why.
no nominations.

Koga · 11-09-2005, 06:28 AM

If you look at it as just a game, it's a rather good game, but when you compare it to previous Mario games (especially 64) it just falls short.

There are so many things, that could've been improved aside from FLUDD.
- more levels
- more variety between the levels (sure it's a sunny island, but they could've made a cave level, a snowy mountain top, and a proper underwater level)
- you didn't have the same freedom with swimming you used to have in 64, and you cannot fly at all in this game
- it has haf the proper levels of 64 (not counting bonus levels), but just as much shines/stars, so they come up with all kinds of artificial ways of getting to that number. Hidden stars, red coin missions in the no-FLUDD platform areas, a lot of small hidden levels on the main island, and above all...
- ...way too many blue coins, and no way of keeping track which ones you have already.
- and finally, Yoshi in this game was just terrible. I want the nearly invincible tank from SMW, not a fruit-eating, juice-squirting, weirdly jumping whiny animal, that dissolves in water(!)

Fludd ruined this game.

Masamune · 11-09-2005, 11:04 AM

I'm one of the people who think it humiliates Super Mario 64 and then proceeds to insult its mother. Then again I never liked jumping and moving around in Super Mario 64. With FLUDD, jumping worked a lot more smooth. It had a certain elegance in the way it played that Super Mario 64 could only imitate.

My only gripes were blue coins and yoshis. Why oh why can yoshis not swim?

**NintendoNut** · 11-09-2005, 04:24 PM

3 more games.

Leinad · 11-09-2005, 04:31 PM

what about metroid fusion?

Koga · 11-09-2005, 06:40 PM

I might as well nominate a game this week. I nominate DKC3; I got the GBA version a couple of days ago and it's great fun. I've never played the SNES version.

DELICIOUS POISON · 11-10-2005, 05:23 AM

On the subject of SMS: *groan*

Nominating Mario Kart DS, because I'm particularily excited about it.

X-3 · 11-10-2005, 08:40 AM

Argh, SMS. Just pathetic. First, it's really dang easy at times, but then it's hard at some times (No FLUDD stages anyone?). The final boss should go down in history as stupid and easy, you don't even TOUCH the boss, you destroy the "Outside area".

Koga · 11-10-2005, 09:43 AM

I totally forgot about that pathetic excuse for a final boss battle.

N Kong · 11-10-2005, 04:37 PM

God I love Super Mario Sunshine.

The Yoshimaster · 11-13-2005, 12:28 AM

I rented it once a long time ago. It was decent, although some of the... ahem, "shines" were a pain in the ass to get.

ahuambachano · 11-13-2005, 01:28 AM

I nominate Super Mario Brothers.

**BEARD BURGER MASTER** · 11-13-2005, 08:48 AM

The nominees are...

Super Famicom Wars
Resident Evil 4
Metroid Fusion
Donkey Kong Country 3
Mario Kart DS

I vote, of course, for Super Famicom Wars. Play or die.
