Reviews | Console Games | Super Mario Sunshine

Story:9/10: the story is nearly flawless, as the main villian's identity is a secret, and Mario is put in Jail for a crime he didn't commit, and has to clean up all the gloop the Mario imposter made using ,to spray the goop away, FLUDD, his water pump with while proving he was framed.

Controls: 8/10: The controls are mainly good, but having to press R lightly to use fludd while while running or pressing L instead of R in the air to ground pound can be annoying.

Graphics:9/10: very impressive for a gamecube game, especally the water.

Sound:8/10: The sounds are quite bouncy, and allways go with the theme for the current area.

Difficulty: 8/10: The difficulty is very challenging, but a bit too challenging, as you can sometimes get annoyed with the game

Originality:9/10: Using FLUDD to dash, squirt, hover, or even fly is very original, but quite a lot of Ideas are taken from Super Mario 64. It's also good that you can ride Yoshi in a 3D game.

Replayability:9/10: You can do nearly anything again once you've finished the game, even most bosses.

Secrets and unlockables:7.5/10: there are a few secrets, but they're quite hard to find, and not that good. There's a fair ammount of unlockables, though.

Glitches: 9/10: There are very few glitches, but they may force you to turn the gamecube off or make you lose a life.

Overall: 8.5/10: This game has some very good Ideas, great replayability and a very good story, but it can be a bit to hard at times.
