The pack does have a tank which will run out and also FLUDD cannot be utilised until the water runs out. The water cannon is a character in it's own right having the name of FLUDD and being a partly sentient apparatus that will advise Mario as he makes his way through the game.įLUDD has a couple of key uses, those being a hover pack and water cannon which can be toggled by pressing X. The people of Delfino arm Mario with a water jetpack/cannon and thus begins in earnest Super Mario Sunshine. And of course, find the real culprit behind all the damage. There's only one problem with the island the residents are miserable and they only have one person to blame: Mario! It seems that there has been someone who looks almost the same as Mario getting about Delfino spraying graffiti and goo all over the place, vandalising all the folk hold dear and also hiding their main source of light and power, the Shine Sprites.Īfter a particularly brief kangaroo court it is determined that Mario must clean up the island and recover the Shine Sprites. It always seems that Nintendo pulls out all stops for a Mario game and every one of them has it's own particular lustre.


The backgrounds and settings of the island are spectacular and for the most part are beautifully detailed and fully worthy of being in a Mario title. Mario and the Princess are taking some well deserved downtime off on the glorious island paradise of Isle Delfino, the main city of which turns out to be a hub for parts all over the island. The Italian plumber known and loved the whole world over is back in his latest adventure, and the first on the Nintendo GameCube console: Super Mario Sunshine! And whilst I may not be the first to tell you, this game runs in extremely serious contention for one of the best platforming titles you'll have played for some time.
