Review: Super Mario Sunshine GC
HAPPY SUPER MARIO DAY EVERY BODY!! May the immortal plumber bless us all with his Italian Jumping powers! ALL HAIL THE MUSHROOM KINGDOM!
I have actually have been having a hard time coming up with a review for this game. This is the reason that I actually got a Gamecube and this software release is actually more important for Nintendo than they actual hardware launch itself. This is the software that will make or break the Gamecube. Mario games by Shigeru Miyamoto have been selling Nintendo systems for almost 20 years now.
So how is the game?
It is good. It is really good. It is so good I want to strip naked and take a bath in it. Some of the finest gaming moments of my life are playing Mario games and this one is no exception. Nintendo spend years designing and tweaking this game that has been planned before the Gamecube system it self. Now this game is the follow up after Mario 64 on the N64 which was the revolutionary 3d game that helped define the whole concept of what a 3d game can be. This game takes what Mario 64 started and perfects it like a fine wine. The Gamecube controller made sense after I played Mario Sunshine for a bit. Mario 1 started the whole concept and Mario 3 perfected it. Screw the Halo, Screw GTA3 (ok props to GTA3 but I am not playing it now that I have Mario), Screw all the sports games,
The control is perfect, the game play is creative and fun, The graphics are mind-blowing, The game is huge. The music and sound effects are fun. The difficulty is easy to start but evolves at a good pace. This is a true all ages game because it is truly fun for all ages 4 to 80 boys, girls and Ru Paul.
This is what videogaming is ALL ABOUT.
All your base are belong to Mario.
12 out of 10. a perfect game.
Update:
Ever think about all the drug references in Super Mario Brothers. The "Magic Mushroom" makes him bigger. Just like out of Alice in Wonderland with "Eat me Drink me". The "Fire Flower" gives him magical powers. That is a drug references right there. I am not talking about advanced cryptography here but there might be a little hidden messages here.

Mario is a mouthpiece for the cuban government and must be stopped! His plots to take over micronesia are well documented and even NEWT gingrich says so too. Whats next jake? will we all just let Mario take over the world with his weapons of mass construction? I cant believe that YOU of all people dont see past this MADNESS!!!
