Super Mario Sunshine is weird.

It's not as weird as the Super Mario land games but in comparison to its other 3D brothers it stands out as a real oddball.

It lacks a lot of the standard Mario enemies, it's very slow to start off and for whatever reason tries to set up some mystery involving shadow Mario there are no question blocks, FLUDD, yoshi vomits juice, the characters talk and it ditches the more fantasy oriented locations in favour of a more down to earth setting with Isle Delfino
 
I like it too, it's different but still manages to keep the overall feel of the series.

It's one of my favourite games ever actually and I'd love a remake in the same way as SM64DS that improves specific aspects as well as adding content.

Just not on a handheld this time.
 
yeah it'd seem like a handheld remake wouldnt work too well for sunshine, sure sm64ds wasnt bad per say but it was very limiting.

Same goes for a sms remake for 3ds imo

as much as i love sms though blue coins can go eat it, as well as boat controls, and that freaking leaf mission where you have to get the red coins.
 
As opposed to a remake I'd love a sequel to Sunshine, complete with voice acting and everything.

But while the original was quite interesting in concept, I found the "Secret" levels (and the pachinko machine level) too difficult to bother finishing the game. Viewing footage of Corona Mountain also turned me off. And I'd also prefer a sequel ditch the blue coins.

Yoshi dissolving in water was pretty dang strange too.

The excuse for that being it's a special breed of yoshi native to the area.......which doesn't really make any sense.

Blue coins wouldn't have been so bad if there was more consistency to how they were hidden, plus a radar or something.

It's because of those coins and those boats/leaf that I've never 100% the game in the entire decade I've owned it.
 
Well something causes them to die instantly if they go in water. Or teleport away to be less morbid.
 
If I had one issue with the game it's how it ends.

Corona mountain is a frustrating level, it's too short and it has that awful boat. But a cool climactic fight with Bowser would make up for it right? However once you get to the end you are greeted with this...
