Mario Sunshine is Fantastic.

Hey everybody, what is going on? I've recently beaten Super Mario Sunshine again, and it is one of the richest and most fantastic games ever created by Nintendo. It received a lot of hate for including some features that Mario games had never had before and, sadly, have been discontinued since. For one, F.L.U.D.D. A lot of people didn't like how Nintendo changed up the platforming so that you needed assistance from a water pack on your back, and it can take some getting used to, but it creates unique and entertaining levels throughout the game. Another problem people had with the series was the voice-overs. I don't care if I have to listen to characters or read dialogue, it's all the same to me. Especially when the majority of the time in video games with voice dialogue, it's coupled with subtitles, or at least the option for subtitles.
This game is only annoying in certain places, for example, the underwater levels when Mario gets a helmet to help him hold his breath longer. The mechanics are a little choppy, and also the Pachinko machine level is glitchy and annoying to play.
However besides those two annoying level types, this game introduced another type of level design that was very unique. These level types were the secret areas that F.L.U.D.D. was taken away from Mario for and he has to platform in true Mario fashion and make it to the end of these levels that vary in difficulty.
In other words, it's not as flawless as Mario Galaxy, and it's not as influential as Mario 64, but this game has a special place in my heart as being one of the most unique and fun games ever created. 
I love Mario Sunshine, and if you do too you should let me know!
