Super Mario Sunshine Game Review

Super Mario Sunshine

Introduction

Its time for the plumber to do the dirty work, again. This time its Mario vs Shadow Mario in a race to save Princess Peach and Island Delfino from complete darkness. Shadow Mario, aka Bowser jr, steals the princess whilst leaving paint like goop behind which is stopping light  spreading completely causing a complete shadow fall over Delfino. Released in 2002 Nintendo continue a well known franchise and introduce a tool which Mario can use to help complete the goal.

SinglePlayer (7/10)

Released on the Gamecube, Super Mario Sunshine used all of the buttons that are usable, but not all of them are needed on a level bases. There's jump, dive, movement, spray and change tool. Simple and quick to learn. The game it self is easy to learn, but can get a little frustrating every so often.

Each area of the game are split into little sections which contain 8 missions that then complete that area. Each area containing at least one similar mission in all areas, beating Shadow Mario. Once all Shadow Marios are defeated the last location is opened where you then save the Princess.

Over the game the textures are simple, but fit for Mario and help create a feel for the player to enjoy the game along with the music that plays along as you play. Along with each level which have their own problems come their own enemies. Most of which are programmed to a specific path, but the ones that are not can ever follow, avoid and/or attack whilst in a stuck spot.

Multiplayer

Being a Gamecube game there is no multiplayer built in.

Graphic Quality (8/10)

A game which was released in 2002 in depending on its graphical side as well and its gameplay side. The graphical side to Super Mario Sunshine helps keep a calm mood for the player. Rarely do you see a graphical fault with Nintendo as they spend a lot of money making sure the game has as little faults as it can.

Sound Quality (9/10)

Mario style of music is always calm and friendly, allowing the player to enjoy the game. Each area has its own music to fit the theme, but also changes depending if the player is in danger or not. This allows the player to play the game whilst transferring from one area to another and leaving a themed music for another in succession.

Overall Impression (8/10)

A game worth playing is a game worth buying, no matter the age. Super Mario Sunshine is one of those games. Nothing can push this game pass its sell by date because of its uniqueness as well as its simple game style. The price for Super Mario Sunshine is still a well sold game and sells at £16 on average. If you have a Gamecube still or a Wii then Super Mario Sunshine is worth getting to enjoy an old game that still satisfies players.
