This is probably one of the best Sunshine reflections I've ever seen. I genuinely don't know why this hasn't gotten more traction, because this is such a unique look at the game design of this game that I had never knew some of the stuff you covered!
TH-cam is a cruel mistress, determined to suck the life out of creators before they take off.
I've watched these three times over!
This game is extremely underrated. Yeah it is flawed in some areas but I'm always willing to look past the glitches and enjoy the game for what it is.
it's such a small thing but i absolutely love the decision to show off every possible 100 coin shine spawn location, especially the weird and obscure ones.
A fun detail during the first Petey cutscene is that the roof of the windmill cracks underneath both Petey and Mario, implying they are both extremely heavy
Mario got that dump
@@SECONDQUESThe ain't got the dump, he got the pump
They're honestly probably about the same weight, not even considering the roof thing. Plant matter (that isn't wood) ain't all that dense! So being triple Mario's size, being bulbous, and having Tons of Teeth edges Petey towards a normal human weight (no actual math, just estimation)
Remember, we're talking about the guy who can ground-pound through _solid brick._ Of course he's heavier than he looks.
Actually, I feel that Sunshine has very diverse biomes, at least in the specialization of the biomes. Many games just have generic biomes themed on generalizations: water land, ice land, etc. Here, we see multiple environments and towns on a single island, yet each feels distinct from the others. Bianco Hills is a good example; it's one of the most vivid and unique "World 1" settings I've seen in a game.
19:26 "And how am I gonna react when I see this, a GREAT BIG THREATENING BUTTON" -Doctor Who
Love how you highlight what the NPCs say each mission. Everyone glosses over them (myself included)! I wanted to throw some other Bianco oddities in:
-In Bianco 1 & 2, the windmill's reflection is not only missing the vines on it but it also shows a Piranhabon spawner. Also, FLUDD's nozzles (as well as Mario's sunglasses) don't reflect in the water.
-Holding the control stick perpendicular to a wire while standing on it will make Mario repeat his "Whoa" voicelines repeatedly which is funny.
-I was hoping you'd show off Rocket Storage for the fun of it, but an interesting thing is you can do it but standing on a rope and having a Wind Spirit hit you. Also as an aside, Noki Bay is the only area you can't see from anywhere else even with Rocket Storage (unless you count the cliff surrounding it). But what I find interesting is you can't see Pianta Village from Bianco either!
...I did some flyarounds on the Noclip website, and you're right, nowhere on any other stage is Noki Bay visible (nor can Noki Bay see any _other_ "main" area, it's entirely isolated). The only location in the entire game that's visible from literally everywhere else is, unsurprisingly, Corona Mountain.
This guy is so good with dialogue! I love game breakdown.
Great video series! I love Sunshine's interconnected areas. One detail you missed is that the Pianta you rescue on top of the tower during episode 5 actually explains where that Petey came from. He says "Boy, I looked up and saw this dirty thing fly in from the port!"
I've always found that comment interesting because it implies Shadow Mario created that Petey while he was messing around in Ricco Harbor. A hint at Mario's next destination!
8:56 This is joke has no business being this memorable. I only played through Sunshine twice and this scene has still lived rent-free in my head for 20 years.
It's literally not even a joke. ????
Love your focus on the Piantas. Always found them amusing, especially considering they had their own little story arcs going on in each level! Hope to see more videos like these about the game!
Don’t think we wouldn’t notice the Josh Jepson reference with the blusters.
Finally, somebody puts deep attention to detail into the Sunshine world! A rarity to say the least.
I have played sunshine for probably over 15 years now. I have not once ever even thought of looking behind you after you spawn into this level
My mind is blown
Of the countless hours I've sunk into this game as a kid, I never once noticed the Plurps. This is one of the few moments I've been surprised and had to do a double-take when watching SMS content haha
Oh wow I never noticed Mario doesn't take falling damage without FLUDD. :O
15:08, an obscure piece of trivia is that on the Mario Sunshine demo disk level select, the secret level playable is referred to as (spoiler alert) Junior's Playing Room. So it's supposed to represent like a toddler's toy box. I think toy box level would be a good alternative to (not so) secret level!
This series is so fantastic! I love Mario Sunshine a ton, but I’m still learning so many new things! Plus, the Xenoblade and Hat in Time music, and the “it’s not supposed to go at an angle” reference, it feels like this series was meant for me! 😂
I do like how the family gets used to mario
and get better at throwing! All that practice on you really pays off. I like that they have a hard to reach blue coin dangling on top of a hill nearby so every level they throw you closer to it until you can finally reach it! Of course by then the rocket nozzle is available...
Used to play this game with my sister and a friend when we were small. I didn't do well with action-heavy stuff, but what I *did* have was endless patience, so I basically played support. Took care of the 100 coin shines, and I always made sure we were stocked up on lives, usually hovering in the 99 lives cap. Man, those were the days
So not only is this the most informative, fun, and hilarious guide to Sunshine I have ever seen
32:30 Man drops a JoshJepson reference like nothing. Bless
Super Mario Sunshine is my favorite Mario game of all time and I'm honestly leaning a ton about it from these videos!
I was today-years-old when I learned that fludd-less Mario does not take fall damage.
21:59 “they’ll get bored and stop existing” I felt that 🥲
16:08 I've actually always kind of liked this game's game over tune funny enough. I really love how they basically extended the normal death tune along with adding the more sad sounding 1-1 motif
Dude. You have a serious talent for this. I *hate* video essays but I *love* the way you make these. Your writing is great, your editing is great, your voice is great, and you're very very thorough. Fascinating and fun. Thank you!!
The quality of the analysis, the asmr level of your voice and the nostalgia is having me hooked up to your videos.
But the best thing is the beautiful alliteration at 0:44 with "Painty counterpart is causing problems and plainly possesses a partial partnership with the proto piranhas' popping up place after place".
*He's back!!!!!!* 🤩
My theory about the sun missing in the second Petey mission is that they removed it on purpose so that players would be less likely to be blinded by the sun when they are trying to aim the Spoinks at the flying Petey in first person view.
I guess they thought no one would notice. I certainly didn't.
Let's just pretend it was covered up by a cloud.
Oh hey that’s a pretty compelling theory!
I had no clue about the 100 Coin shine being collectible during the Petey boss fight, that blew my mind. I'm glad you mentioned you'd be calling out any other instance where the shine is collectible in an otherwise unusual location because it's something I'd really love to see more of. For that matter, I'd love to see more of this whole breakdown, it's very interesting so far!
Damn. Taking out that Strollin’ Stu spawner was truly a tragic decision.
As usual you knocked it out of the park with this one!
Watched all your Sunshine videos over the past couple days and you've been killing it. Looking forward to your Noki Bay and Pianta Village ones and hoping you do more of these types of videos for games like Odyssey in the future : D
You are mind blowingly talented, looking forward to the rest of this series. Subscribed!
That lake by the high cliffside is very eerie. I used to try to reach the platform, but to no avail and discovered the death trap the hard way
I take pride in the fact I found all the blue coins all by myself :D
Being legally blind, this was the only game I ever 100% completed without a WT, as when I had slightly better sight, it was super cool, easy, and colorful :D
Now I can't do it for crap, lol!
Awesome videos man! And I seriously cannot believe there was text in that circle the entire time. It seriously just looked like embossed lines and whatnot, never even occurred to me
I fucking love this series. I'm so glad I discovered it
I randomly happened across these videos and now that I'm a few in, it's probably my new favorite TH-cam series. I was shocked to look and see it wasn't a huge mainstream success with how high quality it is. Keep up the awesome work, man. I'm excited to keep watching these!!
It surprising on the countless videos I watch on Mario sunshine, I still learn something new
Bro I’m a game dev and LOVE your series so far! Just wanted to point out that at 20:56 you said these guys are invincible. They’re not. You kill them by spraying them with water haha. Can either pause while they’re circling and spray them with squirt nozzle, or do a well timed jump and kill them with hover nozzle. :)
Here I am enjoying this incredible video from this incredible content creator, and all of the sudden: 6:55 ... slandered for being an invert camera user! (It is insane that there's apparently no option to toggle in the GC release)
Seriously though, this is amazing. I'm so glad that translation video went viral so I could find the rest of your amazing content.
32:41 I LOVE that JoshJepson reference!! 🤣🤣
20:57 I'm gonna blow your mind, the cyclos are not invincible. If you go into aiming mode and spray water at them, they'll fizzle out and disappear.
30:57 You can mess up the camera on any shine get by jumping into it and pressing the over the shoulder camera button as you're in midair falling towards the shine.
Holy 121 attempts, this is some super high effort stuff!!!
Just found this channel from the language breakdown, really quality vids!!
this is the exact kind of video series i wish existed when i was a kid -- a thorough deep dive appreciating every nook and cranny each level has to offer. It's exactly how i used to play after beating everything, just roaming around looking for any cool secrets or details that help make the world feel more alive
Fantastic deep-dive of Bianco Hills! It's wonderful to see all of the small, easily over-looked aspects of this game, like the small stories for each world, the game design philosophy, seeing the dialogue+substories, and even the attention to detail with 100 Shine spawns. Actually visiting Petey across the island was a great visual to satisfy curiosity. Rocket strats Petey 2 was great and I will now be adapting it into my playstyle. I also watched your Noki Alphabet video and was thoroughly impressed.
Just wanted to make a quick correction and drop a small design theory. Cyclos (or Blusters as you called them) aren't necessarily invincible. You can spray them to disable them temporarily.
As for my theory, I very often hear the critique that the levels aren't very diverse in terms of biome. Which, while they are all beachy or tropical, I feel really misses the clever aspect of them. I believe all of the Mario Sunshine courses are meant to be beachy/tropical takes on typical mario levels.
- Delfino is the hub world like Peach's Castle.
- Bianco is obviously the grass/plains world, or "World 1".
- Ricco is the underground, since it's one of the only other levels Mario can use the manholes, you literally go into the sewers for Blooper Surfing Safari, and there's lots of pipe/grating theming.
- Gelato is the desert, hence the emphasis on sand with the Sand Bird. It also plays with the idea of sand, like the sand sculptures (one of which being a pyramid). The blue sky, creamy sand, and palm trees all communicate that effect.
- Pinna is the least obvious, but I think it's meant to be "World 3", or basically the levels with pulleys/auto-scrolling platforms/wheel platforms, which are realized through the mechanical, but colorful and playful amusement park rides.
- Sirena is Ghost House, characterized as a Haunted Hotel in a reference to the Shining (the mantas also being a reference to this). Its focus on room-to-room traversal through doors and diving through illusory paintings hearkens back to Big Boo's Haunt.
- Noki is the water world. It's the only course you directly go underwater for (three times).
- Pianta is the Sky world. It's the only level where the endless pit can swallow you, it also has tall mushroom platforms like Sky levels do.
- Corona is clearly the Lava/Bowser World.
Wanted to end this with a little fun challenge. Some collision on the windmill wheel is solid, and you can wall-kick up between the wheel and the mill. It's a speedrunner strat and super fun to pull off.
I’ve been thinking about this and I really like it. I would have brought it up in the break down already if I hadn’t gotten snagged up on both ricco harbor and noki bay seeming to be the water levels, but I really like your argument that Ricco is underground. For my part, I figure that if Serena is the ghost houses, then Pinna Park is the castles/fortresses, which tend to be very mechanical and/or have a large focus on enemies.
@@2CPhoenix Thanks! I think you're right with Pinna Park. The ferris wheel's backside is made of brick, and has a lot of physics obstacles that would appear in a castle. You even fight a Bowser there!
I wish more Mario games would have the same sense of properly exploring a location that Sunshine does. The whole "seperate worlds" thing was always a bit annoying to me, even when it's implied that Mario is traveling between regions/continents. It's so much more fun to explore a location that is so obviously part of a greater whole like Isle Delfino, especially once the lore and worldbuilding come into play.
I just have to say that I really appreciate the super in-depth look at every single possible detail. Recently, I started doing that in games I play as much as I can, but you’re taking it to the next level that I couldn’t even imagine. I especially like seeing what the NPCs have to say, since they’re usually just skipped over. Thank you for making this, and I look forward to seeing the rest!
Since there was no real way to search the net for guides on the blue coins for me at the time i played it, i have to say that yes, i found all 240 of them on my own. Took me like months to do so, but in the process i saw so many neat details in the worlds of super mario sunshine. was a good time.
Wow i'm super glad you're doing this series, i never had a gamecube nor di any of my friends so i missed this game but it looks exceedingly more interesting to me after each episode
This is such a good breakdown of the level. Mario Sunshine's levels have a special place in my heart. Unlike Mario 64 and Galaxy style levels which look either like a tech demo or an incoherent flotilla of platforms, Sunshine levels have so much life in them, they genuinely look like real life locations you could find on a tropical island resort. The memorable landmarks, the other locations visible from afar, the characters who live their lives, the organic level design which blends the platforms into the scenery almost seamlessly...
As a kid, I used to spend hours just messing around in levels like Gelato beach or Pinna park, interacting with the NPCs, doing FLUDDless parkour challenges or simply enjoying the level's atmosphere... This game doesn't get nearly enough credit for its amazing level design.
The phantoms are called Wind Spirits. They are invincible usually unless you have a Yoshi. They can be defeated by eating them.
thank you so much for the it’s not supposed to go at an angle reference that was awesome
playing that clip of Mrs. Hurr Gyarr throwing mario over "it's also such a welcoming environment..." was elite lol
your editing always impresses the socks off of me!
I like the alliteration :P It's very fun!
Anyways o7 Hey everyone! Here's how to cheese the first boss fight/not get attacked; see that tightrope right behind it? You can navigate Mario over there, make him face the pirahna with (if I'm remembering correctly) a little flick of the control stick, and then just attack; the pirahna heads won't be able to reach you!
You also won't end up on the wrong side of the slope, 'cause the game just teleports you over without a care.
Also, I've never seen the big water bottles before...does anyone feel the impulse to drink 'em--?
What I've always done, even though it doesn't minimize effort at all, is defeat the first boss...then completely ignore the shine sprite and just run up the path as if I'm already in the second episode-- I.../think/ the bridge is trickier to navigate/even less complete on ep 1? But still perfectly doable
EDIT: Me 🤝2CPhoenix, the Turbo Nozzle
Quick correction for 10:15
Monte is Hill in italian, which makes sense since the area is called Bianco Hill
Mountain would be Montagna
Three different ways to tackle the second Petey fight. And that's why Sunshine is so goooooood man. As a kid, I did it the Rocket Nuzzle way. Actually I thought you needed to do a Rocket stomp to Petey too for some reason! My preferred way of getting Blue Coins is just get them in the way when they're convenient, like all the ones in the Village makes most sense to get during Episode 4! To be fair, I have a good tracking memory so I can keep up with all 240 Blue Coins in a single playthrough because I'm insane like that about this game. Final tip to new players? You don't need to stay at a single level until you fully clear it! Go do something else, trust me, you'll enjoy your first time through Sunshine more like that.
This series is the most comprehensive and enjoyable sunshine series I've ever seen. Feeling joyous like how i did watching chuggaaconroy back in the day.
Just found your channel, and I'm so glad I did!
I remember exploring and pondering the world of this game so much as a kid, it's always so wonderful to discover someone doing the same now and even more in-depth!
I have also always believed that Isle Delfino is a uniquely rich and detailed world amongst the realms of 3D Mario, carrying an overarching personality through its different areas not to dissimilarly to a vacation location many of us have been to in our time.
It just begs to be seen and noticed!
just found your channel and im OBSESSED! your videos are so so good
The ghusty Wind enemies are actually NOT indestructable. If you spray water on them, they vanish
I mean, the blue coins relocating is an issue exclusive to Bianco Hills. Which is also the same world where all 30 are in episode 8 anyways. (Blues are actually my favourtie aspect of SMS)
31:00 you can do that with basically any shine. Just backflip into a shine, get into Y mode while still in the air and rotate camera.
If you destroy the piranha bons by squirting them, they'll explode water in a huge radius :D
I love this video series. Looking forward to seeing more!
I seriously don't know why this video doesn't have 100k at the very least. This is well made.
Thinking about the exact origin of the lakeside cave's pollutant made it a real mystery, like what exact source in the cave created the goop and many more questions
wonderful video! great job!
This channel is gonna get big
32:46 oh my gosh the josh jepson reference just sent me over the edge 😂 an already incredible video good work sir
One of the hidden things is that the flooded delfino plaza is actually a beta map
It's really impressive how in-depth you went
Loving your videos so far! gonna go back and see your Sly 2 vids too later, but I thought I'd stop by and add that those Cyclo enemies actually can be beaten, just hitting them with water makes them vanish. Granted, they instantly respawn and they're kinda hard to hit, so I can see why you wouldn't bother XD
The first word that Pianta on the brochure is saying looks like 'Visit'. Also I'm pretty sure the third line says 'Big Windmill will'.
Fun fact about the strollin stus in the first level of Bianco hills: if you ground pound a bunch at once, you can get a free 1-up
Loved the vid! A detail that I think was overlooked: for one of the blue coins, you say it is floating in mid air and you should use the rocket nozzle to collect it. I'm pretty sure the intended collection method is to stand on the wood platform of the windmill and spray the windmill to make the platform rotate until you can grab the blue coin.
Wait a minute... Did you miss that you can rotate the windmill platforms by spraying them?
I love this game, your videos are awesome !!!
I have had this game my entire life and have never seen those words on the boxart.
I’m not sure if you want to highlight where 1-ups are or not because in the grand scheme of things they’re not super important. But the bells at the top of the spinning wheel that you mentioned give you 4 coins if you spray it, if you spray the bells only you’ll get a 1-up!
32:38 if you are on the rope with the wind around you, charge the rocket a few times without actually getting off the rope. Just stand on it and shoot the rocket. Then let yourself get hit by the wind and whoa, enjoy the view
You can actually stun the wind creatures with water making them disappear for a second.
Just aim up at Petey when he stops moving and the Mario Cam aim hits him down so no need to rocket up. Your basic shot reaches him. And for the burst shot it's hard spray plus jump so on a GameCube controller that is clicking R all the way down. On Switch controllers that is using R and not ZR. You can play the Switch version with a GameCube controller using a USB dock and the triggers will read the inputs correctly.
Any Bianco Bro here? 40 minutes of Bianco Hills I'm in heaven!
Game breakdown is so good. All the blue coins in chapter 8.
Amazing video
Not sure if it was obvious, but you can spray those wind gust enemies to kill them.
27:17 It actually makes sense. The extra weight from all that metal and water would make a fall way harder on the knees.
Definitely a logical way of thinking about it, but it’s still odd that a 10 foot fall with fludd does damage where a 1000 foot fall without doesn’t.
@@2CPhoenix What's more weird is how fall damage is inconsistent among each series. There's no damage in the original, then he gets it in 64, loses it in sunshine (but only if unarmed) and in odyssey gets it back but it's only a stun.
@@omegahaxors3306 Lol good point. Honestly I think fall damage just feels wrong in any platformer. And sunshine has like 4+ ways of canceling it, so I don’t really know why it’s included.
Do more of these 🙏
I remember struggling *alot* on the second secret stage
In the Cave Secret, what happens if you grab your 100th coin in there AND all 8 red coins? Where do the shines spawn?
I've always called the wind enemies Wind Spirits, although I have no clue if I made that up or if I read it in-game or in the Nintendo Guide
I'm super familiar with Super Mario Sunshine, but I still really like videos like this!
I never noticed the text on the cover!
The bursts of fludd spraying when jumping has been called Spam Spraying.
You can use the POINKS to hurt Petey?!???
Wait I’m almost 99% sure I did the poor man’s back flip then Switch to hover nozzle ALL the time. What am I not remembering correctly? I’m going to have to play the game again to figure out what I think my muscle memory is trying to remember.
i never knew about the water bottles
"blusters" are not invincible, they dissolve with water.
😮
Windy Boo, thats the name of the windy Boo's
32:42 I understood that reference
