Correction(s):<br>- The Hawaiian shirt is not a 100% reward, you unlock it simply after beating the final boss.

Italy + Hawaii = Isle Delfino.

It's the perfect summer game. People should appreciate games that try to be unique in that way. We don't need every game to have mass appeal.

My favorite 3D mario game of all. I was eager to hear another one of your reviews

I’ve never understood the complaint that Sunshine lacks variety in its level themes. No two levels look or sound alike, they’re all unique despite the overarching theme

I love Sunshine for what it is. As a kid I was able to figure things out, experiment and progress, a level of patience a lot of people clearly don’t have.<br><br>Never got the sudden hate for it

Sunshine is easily the 3D Mario game I played the most. I think Mario has never controlled as buttery smooth as he does here. Firstly, he doesn't have that strange acceleration he has in other games. He's top speed right away. And he stops on a dime too. And that spin jump is a game changer. <br>But most of all is Isle Delfino. I really, really enjoy that Sunshine depicts a cohesive world that people could feasibly live in. There are tons of NPCs and their dialog changes as the story progresses. It's not a series of obstacle courses floating in a void. They're places. You can see each level from each other. Each level tells a small story and the area changes with each Shine Sprite. It's so good.

Haven't even watched more than a minute, and I'm remembering all the fun, the serenity, ~ THE PLINKO MACHINE ~ the relaxing atmosphere, etc.
