Just beat this game for the first time tonight and I want to make a thread and ask what other people think of this game. Was it good, garbage, the "black sheep" of 3D Mario? What were people's thoughts when it first came out 21 years ago?

Did you enjoy it? It was a childhood game over mine I've yet to try and beat. I did enjoy it very much as a child though.

Did you 100% it? When I just casually played it through I thought it was good but when I went for all shines and blue coins, oh man

The best 3D platformer of its gen. If this says more about Sunshine or more about the other games you can decide for yourself. Definitely not bad though

[Anonymous No.10499141]

>>10499131
Nah that's Rayman 3 but I do agree that Sunshine is one of the best of its gen. Mostly because 3D platformers were only good in the late 90s

Seems like a lot of the hate comes from people who just couldn't handle the difficulty. I'll concede that there are a few bullshit levels and some of the blue coin locations are DOG SHIT, but on the whole it's a solid game. Also as an OCD freak I loved the FLUDD mechanic. Just going around cleaning everything is fun as hell.

thought it was stupid miyamoto went a very different direction after SM64. Still pisses me off and ultimately turned me off from platformers for years after such disappointment.

That's a difficult question to answer, mainly because I think it started off fine, but around either Pinna Park or Sirena Beach it felt like the level design really fell off in quality. When it's good, it's good. But when it's bad, it's really fuckin' bad. On a side not, I didn't think the Sand Bird and Corona Mountain were as bad as I thought they were going to be.

I've only just beat Bowser, but I had 87 shines and 162 blue coins, and I plan to get all of them. I've already got most of the game's most infamous shines aside from the lilypad level, so it'll probably just be more tedious than anything. Also I haven't cashed in any of the blue coins yet.

Noki noki bay, rico harbor and the mountain village were the best stages.

>but I had 87 shines and 162 blue coins
Impressive, you are going to make it. Honestly just use a guide for the remaining blue coins, otherwise you'll most likely end up hating the game

nah I don't think that's fair. most criticism I see of the game is that blue coins make 100%ing excessively tedious and because of the way the game requires you to do levels in order a big chunk of the game is made irrelevant unless you commit to blowing water over every patch of sand to get every stinkin blue coin. it's a lovingly crafted but messy unfinished game.

I think its existence is justified. the fludd is a great idea for the evolution of mario 64's moveset and the setting is charming and immaculately detailed, but in the scope of 3d mario's it sticks out for a lack of polish. it's a clearly unfinished game which probably magnified some design issues.

No you colossal retard, your 70% Ubishit game where you can literally float isn't a better platformer than any Mario. It's also not a platformer but a collectathon

Have you played it? Also I'm probably a bigger Mario fan than you, I've 100%'d every Mario platformer except for Wonder

Yehes, I know you are that mentally deranged schizo freak who allegedly loves Mario but still shitposts it all day. This is a tiny board, you don't have to remind me. Everyone plays and likes Nintendo games, even the biggest haters. This doesn't mean you aren't full of shit

And yes I played Rayman 3, it's slow garbage for babies and a 70% game. Here everyone can watch confirm:

Collectathons are platformers where you constantly collect shit and that don't take any skill beyond doing the obvious and have negative skill ceiling, which is what Rayman is

I don't know what the fuck you are talking about and also what '70% game' means

What's the purpose of entering a Mario Sunshine thread, pretending utter Ubisoft garbage is factually a better platformer and then getting mad and samefagging?

Timestamp five parts in a Rayman 3 video of your choice that you think display particularly great platforming that's much better than the best platforming in Sunshine

Presenting controversial/retarded takes as facts in every single Nintendo thread and always rushing to have both the first and final word is what's obnoxious and toxic

And I know, it's bedtime for you. The sleep schedule of a full-time shitposter. Goodnight

He never asserted it as fact, you're just a cunt looking for an excuse to be a cunt because that's who you are on some fundamental level. This thread literally asks for opinions. You don't understand the context of how people talk so you misinterpet it in a way that lets you do your favorite thing, which is being a cunt. No one enjoys talking to you in cunt mode and I hope for your sake you're not too old to figure that out.

Fludd would work better as a power up than something you have to use the entire game. I played a 64 hack (Last Impact) with a fludd powerup and it was enjoyable without overstaying it's welcome.

[Anonymous No.10499530]

>>10499053
The game so frequently has you doing some of the most unfun shit imaginable in order to progress that you're constantly being pulled in various directions on which part of the shittiest.

Is it the dull way too spaced out level design used to justify the fludd?
Is it the dumb bullshit like random fruits for Yoshi?
Is it an unfun race with the most grating clown fart music blaring in the background?
Is it literally playing janitor and "fighting" enemies that don't even fight back?
Is it having the pure platforming undergrounds replaced with more gimmicks?
Is it picking the wrong shine so there's literally not enough coins for the 100 coin shine in a level?

Props to the sense of variety, it's constantly undermining the things that work with some new, dumb bullshit

I hope you don't enjoy any second talking to me. And yes, "Nah, x is better" is a statement of fact. Rayman, like most Ubishit, is so blatantly inferior that you just can't do that without further indication, the latter of which he isn't capable of and didn't care to provide once when shitposting Sunshine for probably half his life now

I remember this.

It's kind of hard to mess up a "sequel" to mario 64. But honestly, this game was rushed with some awful difficulty spikes, bad difficulty curve, weird platforming. The last part was the most easily forgiveable but this game could've been SO much more. A really wish they had made another major mario platformer for the GC, and took their time with it.

[Anonymous No.10500003]

I really enjoy the dedication to making the platforming levels make sense within the world. You ride windmills and ferris wheels, climb scaffolding, and visit all kinds of beach related areas. It's a very comfy summer game. Just a shame it's shorter than Mario 64 and has repetitive Shadow Mario fights and questionable mission 8s.

[Anonymous No.10500280]

the swimming really sucks for a game that takes place in a tropical paradise, looks and plays like crap.

Is it just me or did sunshines window for the side somersault feel excessively long? literally one of the biggest difficulties of the game for me was working around the lag and getting errant flips. never noticed it that much in 64 or the galaxies.
