My kids are 5 and 6. They received this game for Christmas and they absolutely love it. I like that the game has something for every age. It's easy enough for them and challenging enough for me all at the same time. Great!

Super Mario Sunshine was one of the launch titles originally included with the Nintendo Gamecube, and represents the hallmark name in the Nintendo lineup. Mario is back armed with "FLUDD," a backpack device that spews water to knock out enemies, help Mario hover, rocket you around the screen, or even propel you sky high. It's a versatile tool that's lots of fun to play around with.
The graphics (particularly the water effects) in this game are outstanding. Water ripples as it should, splashes just right, and never ceases to amaze. The colors are vibrant and exciting, and there is no lack of eye candy in the game.
By the same token, sound is good. Voice acting is hardly standard in Mario games, but you get several scenes of it here. The rest of the talking is gobbledy-gook accompanied by on screen text, but it is still well presented. Music is atmospheric and hardly epic, but it serves the purpose.
Game play is also diversified from other offerings with a full arsenal of moves at Mario's disposal. He can bound off walls, balance on a tightrope, and climb cages (in addition to the aforementioned FLUDD moves). It's fun just to run and jump around levels with Mario trying out moves.
So why knock the game down? Well, to start with, the camera. As you run up against walls and obsticles, the camera all too often gets trapped behind a wall, or cannot rotate where you want because of something in the way. So it becomes a chore at times to get your view pointed where you want. Also, there is a high frustration factor here. I appreciate difficulty, but when a 20 minute trek inching your way to the top of a structure is nullified by a slight misstep that finds you back at the bottom of the level, it goes from hard to just annoying.
Finally, I found there to be a slight lack of variety in levels. Although the levels are beautiful as I said, there are not many, and you simply play them 8-10 times over with only slight variations for different challenges.
All in all, this is still a good game, and I recommend it for a GameCube collection. If nothing else, it's Mario for crying out loud! But it is not a game without flaws, and you should take note of them so you know what you're getting into! At the current price ($20), it's worth it, though.

Ok this felt like "SUPER MARIO WORLD" alot!!
But in a good way the areas are so huge that i had to take
a couple of minutes to explore all the different places.
The best part is "FLUDD" the talking backpack.
Altough his voice does get annoying but he just
talks in the cut scenes and intro but other than
saying "mario" during parts of the game he doesn't
talk much the only problem i have is not being able
to skip the cut scenes like in most other games but
oh well it's still ok. Now for the bosses...uh where
did they come up with these guys? I mean after the flower
thing then the bosses start to get really ugly but in the
mean way. But other than that they're ok they're not too hard
not too easy their sort of inbetween so other than that this game
is great!!!!! But i've only got too around world three or so.
