It has flaws, to be sure, and the structure compounds those flaws by making certain shines required for completion (looking at you, manta ray!).

But the moveset it gives Mario, and the way the game actually requires you to make the most of that moveset (unlike Odyssey) is really good. I just beat The Shell's Secret and that's a really fun pure platforming challenge.

I think there are more than enough of those high points to outweigh the shines that are tedious bullshit.

It's a great game plagued with a few select bad levels/objectives/blue coins. The hate for FLUDD is super overstated.

Tbh, aside from poison river, my only gripe is that there isn't some kind of blue coin checklist like Odyssey with its moons. If there was some kind of list and a hint system, they would be much more enjoyable to track down.

My other gripe actually is that I have be very conscious to avoid accidentally being in the "turn around" state for the side flip. Doing this on accident when I want to turn around and jump normally probably accounts for a large portion of my deaths in the platforming stages.

Edit: still probably less annoying than turn around rng in 64 though

Yeah, I think that sort of QoL thing is just a product of the time.

Manta ray really wasn't as hard as people made it out to be. You just had to lightly hold down the right trigger so you could run and gun. Of course I'm not sure how or if the switch replicates the trigger sensitivity from th gc controller.

More like, it's the ONLY really fun pure platforming challenge in the whole game.

It's actually even easier. The trick is to realize that the water blasts from the Hover Nozzle count as attacks as well.

Just equip the Hover Nozzle, then go to the beach(where the mantas can't leave electric goop because, surprise surprise, there's water over it) and just keep hovering non-stop, using the sea as your water supply.

You now have infinite water, the mantas are physically incapable of attacking you while you're airborne(which you will be 90% of your time) and blasting them from above, and you're in the one place where the electric goop can't even exist in. Can't get much easier than that.

I always liked Mario Sunshine. Its biggest problem was following up Super Mario 64, a completely revolutionary game for the franchise with a game that had a few rough edges.

On the surface it had less environments, slightly better graphics, a controversial water pack mechanic, a controversial new character (baby bowser), Yoshi utilized in a disappointing way again, a couple dodgy areas and way too many blue coins

But in hindsight it was a really high quality game still, no question, and tbh with the benefit of looking back it, Fludd was a cool diversion. All the blue coins is still too much though dang.

Was this the first game in which a Yoshi is able to be controlled in a 3D plane? 64 didnt have Yoshi in it right? And there were no other 3D Yoshi games in between 64 and sunshine I think?

The first platformer, yeah. Yoshi appeared at the end of 64, but you couldn't ride him

I just don't find it enjoyable. I like Mario for it's tight level design with great platforming challenges. Sunshine levels are huge and sprawling and they mostly (in so far as I've played it) focus on the stupid water canon gimmick.

I got the 3D collection so I'll give it a go at some point, sure, but I've never made it very far into it and I don't see it hppening this time eihter.

It had the best camera control, if you ask me..

At first I just assumed Nintendo had finally improved their camera from the choppy mess in 64, to what it ought to have been. Then I played Galaxy and I was shocked that it had regressed to being disappointing yet again. Which didn't re-improve with the sequel, either.
