Super Mario Sunshine is a platforming adventure game for the Nintendo Gamecube.

"Mario then joins with a talking water shooter named  F.L.U.D.D"

The story begins as Mario, Peach, and Toadsworth are on a plane planning to take a vacation on Isle Delfino. A screen pops up on the TV inside the plane showing some Piantas saying how great Isle Delfino is. But in the middle of them talking, Peach notices someone that looks like Mario in the background of the picture and tries to tell Mario and Toadsworth, but they're too busy daydreamig about Isle Delfino. When they arrive on the island, a giant slime creature rises out of the ground and Mario must find a way to get rid of it. Mario then joins up with a talking water shooter named F.L.U.D.D. FLUDD then identifies Mario and they join together to get rid of the slime monster. After they get rid of the slime monster, Mario is arrested by the Piantas and put to trial. They then say that Mario is the one responsible for slime being everywhere and they put him in jail and tell him that he cannot leave the island. However, he can get leave the island if he cleans up all the slime on it. Mario then sets out to clean Isle Delfino.

To control Mario, just use the control stick on the Gamecube and to jump, press A. Mario can slide if you press the B button. Pressing the Y button zooms in to the point where Mario can see and you can shoot with FLUDD easier. Pressing the R button lets FLUDD shoot out water and holding the R button lets you continuously shoot and you can control it in any direction. Pressing the A button and then pressing it again when you touch the ground lets him jump a little higher. Press it a second time when you touch the ground to do a triple jump. spinning the control stick and jumping lets Mario do a spinning jump. This can be useful sometimes because if you use FLUDD while spinning, the water will shoot in every direction. Mario can also do a wall jump if you press A while he's on a wall. Mario can take 8 hits and he refills one piece of health when you get a coin. Blue Coins can be collected and getting 10 of them gets you a Shine (the equivalent to a star in this game). 

This game can be a lot of fun to play and introduces plenty of new elements that were used in another great Mario game, Super Mario Galaxy. Controls are good, the camera angle is good, and the game is very long and even after you beat it, it's very re-playable. Another thing that makes it stand out is its wonderful music. My favorites including Bianco Hills, Isle Delfino, and Ricco Harbor. However it still has its share of issues.

Something I didn't like about this game was that after you beat the game, you had to collect Blue Coins to get the rest of the Shines and they can be very frustrating to get. There are also 3 levels I find to be almost impossible. The first level to Sirena Beach has a VERY annoying boss, the first level to Corona Mountain has a difficult to control boat ride, and the third level to Pianta Villaige is big and its easy to get lost in it. as well as you not having your FLUDD.

Overall my complaints are minor to how great this game is. If you have a Gamecube, this game is a no brainer to have and will keep you occupied for days, if not weeks.
