    Editorial: Six years. Six long years we've had to wait for a new Mario game and finally it's here. And even considering the ridiculously unfair expectations, Super Mario Sunshine is almost entirely as good as you'd hope and expect. The premise of the game is that Mario's tropical holiday is ruined when he's stitched up by an evil lookalike for daubing graffiti all over the island. Rather conveniently there's an extremely useful water pump waiting for him to use, which... Read more

    So what are you waiting for?go and buy it Overall, Mario Sunshine is the answer to every cube owner’s dreams. It features playability by the bucket full, a superb main character and some of the most amazing graphical effects seen on any next generation system so far. It pulls you towards it like a moth to a flame and just like a doomed insect you can do nothing but succumb to it. While it may not be a massive leap forward for the Princess loving plumber when compared ... Read more

    Is it the pinnacle of this particular genre? Quite possibly. Is it fun to play? Yes, without doubt. Like other classics before it, Super Mario Sunshine offers a means of escape, if just for a short while. One can only speak from experience in that video games have sometimes helped me through times in my adult life that would have otherwise proved intolerable. Read more

    While maybe a little too similar to Mario 64 for some tastes Sunshine earns the right to be considered its equal. Mario Sunshine is brimming with that special intangible, that X-factor, that indescribable ‘it’ that makes Mario games so superb, that for six whole years games companies have tried to emulate, but have never quite managed, well the is only one man who can equal Mario 64 and he wears a red cap and dungarees. An essential purchase. Read more

    In every way a classic, yet something is missing to put it on the same level as Super Mario 64. Nevertheless, go and buy it! Now! Read more

    Avoid this game if you're seeking real entertainment. For those of you who seek difficult stuff, at least make sure the controls are well-developed and do what you request of them. Read more

  5. Why Twilight Princess did not score higher.

    Giving a game a lower score just becaue it had a few similar features to others in its series is really dumb imo. You're reviewing the game , not the series. Super Mario Sunshine was a huge change in the series and it didn't score as much as the classic Super Mario 64 and Galaxy.
