What would you have liked Nintendo to have done differently? I know that the FLUDD mechanics were unpopular at the time. But did people really just want a rehash of Mario 64 with GameCube graphics? By comparison, it seems that Galaxy's innovations a few years later were more popular.

Finish the game. Make proper levels. Fix the controls. Track the coins I collect. It's a really sloppy and horribly incomplete game that wastes your time in really lazy ways that is only really excusable if you get swept up in the great environment and awesome music.

1. finish the game. obviously cut content and lack of polish.
2. make it so you aren't constantly spraying over the top of things with the light press running spray, constant annoyance when using the spray.
3. come up with more platforming ideas for fludd. just essentially having hover and the rocket jump was kind of lame.
4. replace blue coins with a less numerous collectable or don't require getting every single one of them for 100%, don't bury them under sand.
5. don't pad out the game with repeated sludge mario chases.
6. reduce the time the side flip trigger is active, compared to the other 3d marios it requires noticeably more lag before you can do a regular jump after a turn.
7. cut the shitty gimmicks like the lillypad guiding.

forgot. make underwater segments not obviously jank and terrible. the mario game taking place in a tropical paradise has the worst swimming mechanics.

This game kills itself solely because the only missions that are mandatory to finish the game are the Shadow Mario missions. It would've been an underrated classic if the game let you collect whichever Shines you wanted before going to Corona Mountain, warts and all. The sheer amount of incompetence in this game is only as overwhelming as it is because it changes the rules on how to beat it when unlocking levels are behind Shines and simply finishing the game is behind beating specific levels

All optional content in the game is 100% pointless and the game only wants you to play a single way every single time. This is Sunshine's greatest sin

Little do people know every copy of Mario Sunshine is personalized, that's what gives it it's liminal, creepy atmosphere.
