Game Description
Super Mario Sunshine [Player’s Choice] shines as one of the most distinctive adventures in Mario’s long-running history. Released for the Nintendo GameCube, it transports players to the tropical paradise of Isle Delfino, where Mario is tasked with restoring the island’s beauty after being falsely accused of vandalism. Armed with the inventive FLUDD water pack, Mario scrubs away graffiti, glides across obstacles, and uncovers secrets hidden throughout sun-soaked environments.
Building on the groundbreaking 3D gameplay of Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine adds new depth with its water-powered mechanics and expansive, interconnected levels. Each location — from the bustling Delfino Plaza hub to vibrant beaches, harbors, and amusement parks — is packed with Shine Sprites to discover and clever platforming challenges to conquer. The game’s playful design and tropical aesthetic make it unlike any other entry in the series.
This Player’s Choice edition reflects the game’s enduring popularity and status as one of the most beloved GameCube releases. Highly valued by fans and collectors, it remains a must-have title that represents Nintendo’s creativity at its peak, offering a refreshing take on Mario’s classic platforming formula.
