this has quickly become a favourite series of mine, so excited to see more !!
Same glad TH-cam recommended it to me
Speaking of the water, my friend in elementary school had a broken TV that for some reason showed certain blues as greens. So everything was normal, but the oceans, lakes, ponds, fludd’s tank? All green. He tried to convince us OUR TVs were broken because “Shadow Mario polluted the water”
Every copy of Mario Sunshine is personalised
Something else to mention: in the PAL/SM3DAS version, change the language to Italian, enter Episode 8, and then read the sign next to Bar Gelato. This softlocks the game.
I feel so validated hearing other people did fake LP's for fun as a kid too.
I love these videos by the way, easily my favorite videos on this game now. I'm excited for more in the future!
My 8 y/o nephew does that too; He loves watching let's plays.
It was a bit too early for LPs to really be a thing when I played this game, but I sure did talk to myself a lot anyway as a child, which I feel counts. Lol
The sunglasses guy having a different shirt in each level is such an insignificant detail but I love that they included it.
Brief discussion of Mario's melons was not something I could've anticipated
"Sandbomb Baseshit" sounds like one of those really confused and poorly translated Spongebob bootlegs.
I mean it's closer than "Tooly I am King" at least!
This series is quickly becoming one of my favorites, everything is top notch: the structure, the humor, the editing, all the lore and additional information you give about each level and above all, your choice of music. Well done.
With that said, Gelato beach has got to be my favorite level in the game and one of my favorite spots in the entire Mario universe. In contrast with the levels in the other Mario games, which you want to complete as fast as you can before moving on, Sunshine levels have that special charm which makes you want to stay and explore everything. There are just so many things to see and try, and so many people to talk to. As a kid, I spent hours upon hours just chilling in Gelato beach, running in the sand, blasting through the water with the turbo nozzle, enjoying the view from the top of the sand tower or the highest pole in the area...
Oh my gosh, I'm so glad to know I wasn't the only one doing stuff like that!
23:00 "now, Mario is a bit lacking in [the melons] department, but I hear estrogen works wonders." made me chortle
We love a trans ally
Random fun fact I learned as a kid with the Wiggler level, if you ground pound them on the third stage then quickly press Z to bring up the map, the music which was of course, slowly getting faster with each stage gets STUPIDLY fast to ridiculous levels, then if you were quick enough to exit the map then open it again, the music would change to a hilariously slow pitch. Just a random fact that gave me a lot of joy. Things were always hilarious when sped up as a kid.
That's hilarious, I gotta try that some time.
Thanks for sharing.
The water/reflections aren't actually mip-mapping related. Mip-mapping is seen more in increasingly far away textures. It primarily prevents moiré patterns in semi-uniformly tiled things like ground textures or ocean ripple displacement maps while also potentially being used as an optimization by not rendering high quality textures at large distances. The way they do the reflections is by having another camera render the scene from a different angle (relative to the main camera and the reflective surface) and then that camera's perspective is saved to an alternative image buffer, from there, it can mask out the parts of the regular camera view that are to be reflection and copy the alt buffer data to them. Earlier/most games don't opt for rendering a whole second view because they can barely hit the target framerate with everything rendering once, let alone twice. (Also, side note, there's a few different types of reflections in the game that all work slightly differently and then there's similar but different things like the heat waves.) (PS Love the video)
Where were you when I was writing my script
@@2CPhoenix Lolol, ping me on the next programming trick. Keep up the great work!
You know, I think I’ll take you up on that
Though mipmapping is used for the texturing of the surface of the water and is why the patterns are harder to notice from close up, because nearer water has a different texture than the further water. Typically mipmapping is used to save on processing power by reducing texture resolution of the same texture further from the camera, but here it was used to also help create the impressive water effects by using completely different textures at different distances. IIRC the nearest two mipmap levels are actually blank textures so you can see Mario through the water without the effect of the sun's glare reflecting off the water obstructing your view
Edit: I misremembered, the furthest two are blank, the nearest is darker though than the further out layers so that it is easier to see Mario. Here is the video I used as reference th-cam.com/video/Ipsd6rYj6Mk/w-d-xo.html
Exactly that! just wanted to add that through somewhat complex math the image buffer gets mapped as a texture to a surface! Also the second Camera can omit certain objects to save on computational time and only one reflection gets rendered at a time. (notice how only one mirror seem to show the clouds)
13:40 as a man of Italian descent I can confirm that hearing this filled my soul with violence.
As an Italian... Ice cream and gelato are the same thing lol.
23:06 "but i hear estrogen works wonders" lmao
Can confirm
@@monopolyrubix1875 can also confirm
sensible transfeminine chuckle
Was definitely not expecting that line but it was spectacular
This was wonderful! Weirdly, it made me feel seen.
ill say, growing up with this game I just messed around into a lot of this knowledge. but il piantissimo getting faster the more you race him is NOT something i knew. or at least cared to notice. so, wow
this series is seriously making me want to emulate sunshine and 100% it again
Another great episode! One thing I'd like to point out is this is the only stage that has no goop or story reason to go there. Pinna Park has no goop either, but it has Bowser Jr. and cutscenes and such. But Gelato Beach has literally no reason for Mario to visit since he's supposed to be cleaning up the goop, yet there is none.
I never realized that, huh
The level does have a different feeling compared to most and the lack of goop contributes to that subconsciously I suppose!
That callback to dunkey racing Koopa the Quick in his SM64 video hahahahahaha.
Love this video and this series so much. Finally I can get all those damn blue coins!
This is an awesome series and i binged all of it about a week ago, so stoked for a new installment. Thanks for putting in the work to do each area justice!
The joke about estrogen made me nearly choke on my drink, 10/10 content
23:05 for future reference because I want to revisit this often
I'm quick to watch these videos, but today feels a bit more special to know this one was posted on my birthday.
I love this series as SMS is a favorite childhood game of mine, and I really think you do a great job of covering things like this.
You've answered so many of the questions I had as a kid when I'd be wandering around the maps and trying to make the most out of the game.
Thanks for making these videos and keep up the good work. 🎉
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!!!
Happy birthday !
This might be my favorite series on Super Mario Sunshine ever - your sense of humor is amazing. Can't wait to see the next one (and I hope your favorite level is Sirena Beach, but I don't want to spoil it...) 👀
4:20 this secret level and the red coin version were actually challenging as a kid. I remember bumping all the time against sand blocks and falling 😅
I never knew the sunglasses guy(s) wore different shirts! Huh! Neat!
Truly a top tier series I always been waiting for!
Mario Sunshine remains my favorite Mario game to date! I always felt like it was unfairly hated on. The unique charm of a tropical island paired with the somewhat chaotic overtones of the bosses and enemies makes this a remarkable game. I seriously have to thank you for breaking down these levels and going into such detail!
I also watched an 'LP' of this game when I was younger. Chuggaconroy, in fact! He's who inspired me to get the game, and I've loved it dearly ever since! This was an amazing video Phoenix! Keep it up! I'll be sure to watch all the future ones!
I've never stopped to think about how good the reflections in this game look, those tilting mirrors are black magic what the actual F were Nintendo devs cooking in 2002. I swear they have the greatest dev techniques hidden in their vault and no one can get on that level historically. Reminds me of that wonderful video breaking down Galaxy's gravity mechanic on spherical planets. So genius yet so "simple"...
My headcanon is that the Sand Bird brings sand to newly formed islands to help them get bigger, and that Isle Delphino was created by it and Corona Mountain.
i think this level was my favorite as a kid, i would just hang out in this stage and wander around. i really liked the area near the bar for some reason lol
The humor in this episode is A+, keep up the good work man
This is my new comfort channel now. This channel is such a vibe
Another use for mipmapping is that it's basically baked in anti-aliasing, that's why I always get miffed when a minecraft texture pack or mod breaks it completely.
One thing you haven’t mentioned yet that I love about the game is how Delfino Plaza, Bianco Hills, Rico Harbor, and Gelato Beach all share the same main melody (slightly embellished for each of their styles). This follows the “tradition” set by Mario World and Mario 64 as well
YESSSS! Been waiting for this after watching every video in one go the other day 😂
Started another playthrough of Sunshine when I started watching these but got sad when I realized they only come out like once a month so I am now dedicated to playing each world as this series is released.
Something annoying about the 3D All-Stars release is that one of the coins that spawn from the Sand Cabana cash register is inaccessible, so the max coin score is one less than in GC
Idk if you knew this, but figured I'd bring it up since you didn't: if you go to the map screen with Z after the wiggler boss fight while the boss music is winding down but before the Shine appears, you can hear a slowed down version of the boss music playing while looking at the map. But then, if you get out of the map screen and go back in quickly enough, you can hear a much faster version. Why it works like that, I don't know, and this is the only boss in the game where that happens. But it's a cool little trick that I've always liked to do anytime I go back to this game (especially after I learned about it from research)!
Anyway, awesome video! Looking forward to more!
I found this on accident, but I adore this series and this channel! Sometimes it feels like it's a rarity for people to actually talk about the things the love, instead of what they hate. You do such an intimate delve into the specifics of each level that it's hard not to fall in love with the game a little. Excellent work!
Great video! Didn't know about some of these 100 coin locations or tricks, and found the joke at the start pretty amusing too.
Will add one thing though... it's possible to defeat all the Cataquacks on the top level by luring them off to the lower one, clearing both parts of the map. Not very useful, but I used it for the Watermelon Festival a few times.
A little detail you missed about the cash register in the Gelato Bar. If you go underneath it and jump it’ll spawn a bunch of coins. Very helpful for the 100 coins shine and also a really cool reference to the classic Mario games
I cannot be certain but I think the yellow text on the brochure says something like: "Gelato Bar, When you must escape the sunshine, ..(may/hope?).. I help you." That's the only one get even close to reading.
The Cataquacks on the ledge in the Watermelon mission CAN also be killed if you coax them into walking off the ledge. It's a little tricky, but it's very possible.
It helps if you hover off of the ledge with Fludd instead of just walking off.
Babe wake up, new sunshine breakdown vid
I forgot to subscribe after watching all your previous videos and when this showed up in my recommended I yelled "YOU!" aloud as I clicked the video, so uh, keep up the good work.
So glad I found your channel!
love this series! Keep up the good work :)
Been waiting for this video for a couple weeks!!
Awesome series! Really enjoying the depth you cover while still keeping a great pace!
Love these videos. Well done, put together, and are a great trip back to this game. Thanks for putting these together
13:37 The thing that differs Gelato from your typical milk-based ice cream, is the addition of gelatin.
This gives the ice cream a more smooth texture, and help it keep it's shape while melting.
Keep these coming I LOVE these videos !
Incredible content as always, keep it coming :D
thanks for making these. amazing videos awesome series!
I love this so much, your videos have been amazing
I love your videos so much dude, keep up the good work
I absolutely love this series!! Gelato beach is one of my favourite sunshine’s levels! Excited for the next ones!
This series has made me see Mario Sunshine in a brand new light. Thank you. Keep up the good work, you rock!
I love this series. I definitely am going to rewatch all these videos next time I play through sunshine. It will be such a great follow along
I’ve been looking forward to this! This series is some of the best Sunshine content on the internet.
This series is so fantastic, and as a huge Mario sunshine fan, brings me so much joy every time I see a new episode hit my subscription box!
subscribed. i love this game, it's been a hyper fixation recently after remembering it as a kid. hearing how well it's held up, and how well the game is programmed, makes me genuinely happy. thank you for covering it. :)
This series is incredible! I would love for you to continue this after sunshine with galaxy
I’m so happy to see how much your channel has been gaining traction, some of my favourite content on TH-cam!
absolutely love this series :D
Another banger. Can't wait to see your channel blow up. :)
OH another upload! You're breakdowns bring me back to when I first found Particular Mushroom, so these are VERY welcome. Thank you, can't wait to see you breakdown Sirena Beach at some point. ALSO double A+ for the Sly breakdowns too, those were a nice surprise. =3
Loved this game as a kid... Gonna oo back wand watch all the levels you have covered. Keep up the good content mate
I love this series. It's very complete, you talk about a lot of aspects of the game and I like your sense of humor. I was deeply impacted by this game as a kid and never played it since. I've watched tons of detailed videos about Mario 64 but this is the first time I come across something like this for Sunshine. I'm looking forward to the other levels!
I've loved this series so much, i cannot wait for more! I have to say one thing and its important.
Your voice was made for this and these videos.
Idk why i love your voice so much its just perfect and I'm not sure how else to put it. Great job!
Thank you for revealing the code names for the sand buds on the beach, that was an amazing peek behind the curtain.
I think what i was most amazed by this video, was finding out about the detail of the Dolphin island writing. Not only its made to be a actual language, BUT they even took extra care to localize some of the text between the japanese and english version. Respect to that
Love this series. It definitely feels like a continuation of the Particular Mushroom videos while also having its own vibe and personality. You’re doing great work 🫡
Really entertaining. Great video!
I’m obsessed with this series
Liked and Subbed! Can’t wait to see Pianta Village and Sirena Beach! That Hotel must be holding loads of secrets! 😄
great work you earned a sub
"Welcome back, everyone and everything."
As a thing, I feel seen.
Love your videos!
This game was my entire childhood, i don't know how many hours i racked up on it, so this series is seriously well appreciated. I don't think ive played it in at least 10 years but it's crazy how i still vividly remember all of this.
That Piantissimmo sequence was pretty dope. Love this series!
One of the best Videos on YT
Ohhhh this is so nostalgic and fun 🤩 Thank you 🌞 (Love to get in touch h by the way! We’re all in for retro fun 📺🎴🎴🎴)
THE GOAT IS BACK AND HE DOES IT AGAIN
When I first played the second level, I spent ages trying to defeat the set of three ducks. I was very confused after beating them that I didn't get the shine. It was then I realized I beat the hardest part if the challenge first.
Gelato Beach is the personal favourite of mine also, it perfectly captures the mission statement of a tropical paradise, and is chock full of interesting, exotic, mystic and chill locations.
Fun fact: For the secret stairway shine, you can actually ground-pound the area that goes down as it falls to get a massive height boost a d get launched into the air! In addition, if you look at Delfino Island’s locations, you’ll notice that Gelato Beach is located in an… interesting position… and, more than that, while in the air, you’ll get a bird’s-eye-view of the area, and you’ll realize that it’s anatomically correct.
ouuuuuuu i love these vids so much :•) cant wait for the next one
These episodes of Mario Sunshine have earned you a sub from me !
New Sunshine Deep Dive. Let's go!
In Noki Bay there’s a hidden bullet bill located under Monty Moles cannon, in all my years of watching videos like this, I don’t think anyone pointed it out
LOL, while talking about the reflections and how they are like black magic, the song playing has a title including “Mirror Magic”. Super subtle and too perfect.
If you get all 120 shines, you get a picture of il piantissmo finding the magic paintbrush. My theory, which for some reason I can't find anyone else sharing or believing, is that shadow mario actually is il piantissmo, and the photo of him finding the paintbrush is not in the present, but the past.
The theory requires some mental gymnastics where il piantissmo is in cahoots with Bowser Junior and Junior has him do the dirty work. But it's too coincidental to be ignored, and yet everyone does ignore it.
your content is sick dood
Funnily enough, if you consider "Pianta" as a species, not to be directly translated, then "Il Piantissimo" means "The Most Pianta" which is even sillier since he's pretending to be a Pianta. It's as though he's trying to convince you with his name that out of all the Piantas, he is the MOST Pianta.
Amazing video!
i stumbled on a goldmine. time to binge
Your estrogen joke was underrated good job my friend
This made my day when I saw that this was uploaded
Oh yeah, that Watermelon trickshot. Always tried it when i was a kid, dunno if i ever managed it though. Tbh, thats one thing i hate about speedruns. they find clips, bugs and exploits that are faster, but most of the time, surely dont look as fancy as something like that trickshot.
Loved the race-through-games-part :D
Good videos so far, hope to see a lot of them in the future :D
That Piantissimo number.
Subbed.
At the end I just wanted to see Mario actually land on the beach as he meteors his way down.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane with this series
