[KostaVV]

Hah! wow, that screenshot has been my wallpaper for 4 years now. It still hasnt gotten stale yet either

[pll89]

underrate mario game is underrated.

[guycats]

delfino plaza is heaven

[VBF56PTDR]

lol

[thomasfischer1337]

thanks nintendo!!! :')

[Yagzathoth]

Oh the crazy shit i used to do in Delfino....

i always remember diving headfirst into the sand and laughing uncontrollably when he got stuck.

I LOVED THE MAN WITH THE SHADES AND FLORAL SHIRT

[KarinaSkellington]

Very nice music! I remember this game. So many memories... :'D I wonder how it would be like living there... ^.~

[stupidmariobros8989]

THIS SONG = MY CHILDHOOD!

[potatopac]

EASILY the best mario game, I don't give a SHIT about what other people say. this is the game that made the gamecube.

[Aeroblast64]

I strongly hold the opinion that this is the only music that should ever be played in the Delfino Plaza Smash Bros Brawl stage.

[Bazzooka1518]

I remember my childhood...

Playing that game on Saturdays, right after I was back from school, and trying to learn my parents how to play videogames :D

[BlackCladGolbez]

Y'know, overall, this was, for a long time, my favourite Mario game in terms of 'atmosphere'. It was the first Mario main series game that actually had one as far as I was concerned.

[SonicMarioFreak234]

i think this game had the most secrets out of all mario 3d game, even the 64 one

[SoulReaper1769]

i'll keep it simple, i loved this game.

[TetsuyaBrazil]

I think every Mario game in the main series are excellent, all of the Kart series too, Party series I think the first 4 are awesome, 5 and 6 are ok but 7 and 8 are kinda bad, 9 seems to be good though. Paper is epic. There are the rpg games too which are great. About the sports spin-offs, I've only played Mario Tennis in the N64 and GC, those are fun games, are the other sports games bad as people say?

[Aeroblast64]

@TetsuyaBrazil Mario Golf is worth a shot

[TetsuyaBrazil]

@Aeroblast64 Thanks for the answer!

[CrazyAlwin]

@Playstation72 You know, I like Sunshine, but your opinion about Galaxy is illogical! Then you could say that Sunshine is just Mario 64 with Fludd, Tropics and more Red Coin missions.

[sonicman799]

when i hear this music i picture an old guy tapping his foot and snaping his fingers lol

[TheGumGumMan]

I loved this game, I loved F.L.U.D.D and I loved everything!

....Except the voice actors....

...

[RadicalEdwardBK]

Fuckin' wewh, dood~ X3 I love this theme~!!!! :D

[TheBigAnimation]

My dad used to play this with me and my sister...

I was five. 8')

[potatopac]

@TheBigAnimation HOLY SHIT same here! I was also five!

that's why this is my all-time fav mario game.

[TheBigAnimation]

@potatopac Cool! Personally, I don't have a favorite. There are so many of them and I'm not THAT into Mario anymore. But, have you heard about the Mario Kills Tanooki thing that PETA was sooo upset about?

[potatopac]

@TheBigAnimation hmm... the PETA are very annoying sometimes. come on, upset? nobody cares!

[TheBigAnimation]

@potatopac Did you see the article? PETA is bastardizing Mario for some ridiculous thing that they probably made up because they were bored. 8P

I'm surprised that Nintendo hasn't sued PETA yet.

I'm a little angry at PETA for making up something like this. But I'm not 'upset, upset'. But still. Have you seen the article?

[potatopac]

@TheBigAnimation WTF? those sons of bitches took it way too far,

and to be completly honest, it's a fun lttle flash game lol.

[TheBigAnimation]

@potatopac Meh, I say it was just because they were bored. I mean logic no?

We've got all this money so lets find out what kind of chaos we can ensue on the media now, neh?

[potatopac]

@TheBigAnimation I just read it,it's like me saying 'In skyrim you can kill bunnies

' that's directly telling every kid to go into their rabbit's cage and brutaly murder it with a chainsaw'.

don't get me wrong, though, i really effing despise poachers

[TheBigAnimation]

@potatopac Yup. I'm an animal fanatic. I have three dogs, a hamster and a rabbit. And I just lost a ferret due to cancer so really, I hate animal abuse as well. All my life I've grown up with animals! Though I don't agree that Mario is what's causing people to kill Raccoon's. Besides, the worst that a person does to a Raccoon really is shoot them for getting into their garden. And now they're putting up signs saying you can't do that so where's the harm in Mario?

[Darkfirex34]

Hands down best Mario game ever. I still have the little notebook me and my friend recorded all our stars in when I was like...9. This game is a perfect example of sticky summer GameCube controllers.

[EvilApple567]

AHH!! Nostalgia attack!!!

[ToonOMate]

So sandy, so italian so... mario.

[piplup10203854]

I do hate how people rag on this game, to me it was great, there are some levels *okay a few* that can get really annoying and are hard as hell but overall every time i play through it I feel like I am getting better, trying more tricks and having more fun. I personally love this game and the music is amazing. In fact i am going to go play it again lol

[EstronkaS]

@piplup10203854 people just expected something better then super mario 64, which to this day is still something verry hard to do.

Alot of people say this game sucks, but they probably never even played it.

It's not a bad game, from 1 to 10 it's an 8.5

while super mario 64 is somewhat of a 10.

it's just not as good as 64. ^^

[piplup10203854]

@EstronkaS Oh I agree; super mario 64 is very very good; but yes a definite solid 8.5 in my book too.

[electricmastro]

@EstronkaS To me it seems that the N64 made Mario and Zelda turn to the peak of its popularity, the Gamecube just decided to take both of them on a trip to the islands for a "vacation". The real tip of the hat didn't come until the Wii came along.

[EstronkaS]

@electricmastro

I think that as well.

After 64, Nintendo only got stardom by the time that twilight princess came out for the Wii.

Then galaxy 1 and 2 came out along with other big franchises.

But don't forget that twilight princess was originally a GameCube game. =D

[electricmastro]

@EstronkaS Yeah, but Twilight Princess came out at the very end of the GameCube's lifecycle in 2006, which made it the last game published by Nintendo for it. Twilight Princess holds its place more as a Wii game since they made Link right handed with his sword. To me, Wind Waker is the more definitive Zelda GameCube game. Anyway, after this "vacation", the Wii decided to go back and reference it's predecesors like how TP is like OoT and Throwback Galaxy in SMG2 which really is a tip of the hat.

[potatopac]

@EstronkaS Sorry nostalgia boy, mario sushine was infinetly better than mario 64.

It was good, but mario sunshine Not only has better nostalgia for me, it also is over 5 times more fun than mario 64.

[romacus]

I like a bit of difficulty when I play my platformers and this one paled in comparison to 64. Music and atmosphere were top notch though.

[Kirbychu1]

Both Mario Galaxy's and 64 are infinitely better, but this isn't all that bad.

[GUyNiTs]

i want to go to delfino plaza when i die

[NathanLFC1994]

I can't see what the hate is for this game it was amazing and still is. Environments look amazing levels were good, gameplay was great same for the music. It deserves more than it gets from the public.

[johaneshb]

Mario Sunshine is an abyss bwtwenn MArio 64 and Mario Galaxy. Worst MArio I'hve ever played. Still, it's not bad, it's fun. But it's the worst.

[SpooniestBard]

Definitely, underrated such a sweet game. The beach and a strong environmental message are always ingredients for a good time.

[heyjo0205]

such a wonderful and sunny music!

[mariodude25]

Sunshine was THE BEST 3-D Mario game, period. 64 was great and all, but Sunshine had the atmosphere. Who WOULDN'T want to play such a laid back game as Super Mario Sunshine. It takes place on a frickin BEACH.

Galaxy can't touch this.

[potatopac]

@mariodude25 I agree completly, this game is a definite 10.

galaxy is a little better than 64 though IMO. maybe not.....maybe

[Mariofan9]

Only idiots who understand nothing think in 'better than', or are stuck in the past or present. If one were to give this game sound judgment, they'd agree it was great.

Is it better than 64 or Galaxy? That depends. Do you prefer games that stick to one theme and atmosphere? Do you prefer non-lineair platformers? If so, I bet you'd prefer Sunshine over the other two.

[Twinleaf32]

Great song, I had to get used to it for the sake of my sanity when trying to get Yoshi on that island when I was a kid, considering I would be hearing it for a very, very long time.

The one Mario game where Yoshi can't swim just had to be set in the tropics, eh Nintendo?

[deviltrigger555]

@Twinleaf32

he was pretty much made of juice so umm yea i have no reason as to why he coulldn't swim lol

[Voliko1]

This will always be my favorite 3-D Mario

[C0rnholioo]

I'm probably one of the very few who like Sunshine a little better that Galaxy. There's just something about the setting of sunshine that I love.

[CrazyMan03]

@C0rnholioo I also liked Sunshine more than Galaxy. Galaxy was just boring to me but Sunshine, I could play right now.

[blackoblivian]

@C0rnholioo sunshine is much much much better then galaxy i grew up this this tune will live on forever lets just hope Nintendo comes there senses and makes more of these(with weegee to)

[calvinsora101]

Am I the only one who likes Sunshine most out of the 3D Marios? For me, it's Sunshine in first, 64 in second and Galaxy in third.

[triforcedweller]

this game was and still a legendary Gamecube game.

[don8tosaur123]

i lov the music

[Shayminxboy]

Sunshine shines all the time!!!! =D

[tailslover3]

I usually don't make requests, but listen to 'Underwater Exploration' from this game. It played in the Red Coin Fish mission in Noki Bay.

[Phebie923]

this wacky music, I still like it though!!! I always spray those guys and they scream, nooo!!!

[mairland200]

NOOOOOO!! APLOOPOHH!"!!!!

[AkumaUchitoru]

No offense, but I never really liked this Mario game as well as Super Mario Bros. 2. For this game most of the music seemed somewhat plain though I do like this song quite a lot. Same for Super Mario Bros. 2, though the last world and Wart was pretty awesome as well as the ending. It's like every awesome series has at least a bit of good in them, even the least good ones, or what appears to be that.

[AkumaUchitoru]

Super Mario Galaxy is good Playsation72... Didn't you enjoy the story book? I love the Star Festival theme too, and I liked how I beat the whole game on Mario and Luigi with 120 Stars on December 31, 2007, on New Year's Eve.

[KamikazeKong]

I still haven't used yoshi to spay out the tube on that island where the guy was trapped. Those stupid boats and yoshi's midair jump kept making me fall off into the water.

Stupid Yoshi. You live on a damned island, but you can't swim.

[marnerbroman]

why do I think of glass joe?

[MexicanJuice7]

YES!!! This game rocks, and this theme rocks! All the haters can go ^@%# themselves, Sunshine rocks and always will rock.

[Cizal]

One of the best parts of this game was how simply entertaining it was to jump around the plaza for no real reason.

[MeanestBean]

I do it all the time

[HamuSumo]

Had a lot of fun with Super Mario Sunshine. It's worth to play it again from time to time.

[Greenboom98]

This is an awesome song! This game had great music and awesome gameplay. Getting all shines was a long task especially those that were timed.

[ImaLoser188]

This was my personal favorite game on the GC along with Super Smash Bros. Melee. I don't know about any of you but this game rocked. I loved this game so much, that when I beat it, I made another file and did it again. I had all 3/4 files beaten. The other one my siblings took for themselves :p. This game rocks.

[rdcarden2006]

This was a fun game, but it is a weird mario game. Kind of like SMB2.

[MrAgnost]

@rdcarden2006 ye that wasn't a real mario game, the true mario 2 is lost levels, the one on the market is a shameless copy of a game called doki doki panic

[wolvebuck]

Highly underrated game. I get sick of everyone ragging on it all the time.

[duckypwns]

@wolvebuck I agree, I got more out of this game than I did Galaxy.

[RoadkillForSkaters]

@wolvebuck who rags on it? The hotel level was one of marios finest imo

[Mario7746]

@wolvebuck I needed like 3 years to find the last god damn blue coin. I love that game

[lopytube]

wow this music is lower on the scale than I expected.anyway,sure was fun squirting the camera and running around like you got know place to go

[Clymaxx]

If you insinuate there's an order to these songs, then you're mistaken.

[Playstation72]

This is a really under appreciated game. I think it's better than Galaxy (I'll be happy to accept angry replies, messages, and thumbs down things). Ok here we go, time to receive a record amount of hate mail (yeah more than when I said fred sucks.) Mario Galaxy sucked. It was sunshine with a crappy gravity gimmick, take away the FLUDD, and add a lot more platforms to jump on [WEE!!! (sarcasm)].

[BuyMeThingsnow]

I liked Galaxy. It felt more like the classic Mario Bros games. I also loved how huge and bizzare all the levels were. I thought it was a creative game.

[Playstation72]

It was creative, I just didn't find it very fun. Or difficult.

[BuyMeThingsnow]

I dont see why not. Mario Sunshine didnt get all that difficult till the last stage either. I was entertained by Mario Galaxy. And I would be happy to play it again. The only reason I dont is because I rarely play my Wii. (and mario galaxy did have some hard parts by the way).

[Playstation72]

I played all of the hard parts from Galaxy. The only one I would say is as challenging as anything from sunshine is, and that's the Dardevil run to the lava spire.

[BuyMeThingsnow]

If you want my oppinion its just that you'v been blinded by your fond memorys of Sunshine. That game was pretty easy also. The only hard part in the entire game was the final stage. And I could have done that blind folded if it werent for that ultra cheap boat thing in the middle. Mario Galaxy was just as tough as Sunshine and 64. Maybe tougher.

[Playstation72]

No, if anything, I've been blinded by my fond memories of Mario 64. Mario Sunshine was rated as the second hardest Mario game ever, that meaning to get 120 stars on. Yeah anyone can beat the game with the way you fhave to get to the last level, but it's getting 120 that's a real balls to the wall kind of game. Galaxy is easy, i could do it, and I suck at Mario.

[BuyMeThingsnow]

well if we're talking about finding all the shines as rather to playing through the actual levels then yes its harder. But some the shines in Sunshine were just impossible to find without a tip book. Like the ones that were hidden in the ground and on walls and you had to spray with water to find. You had to litterally spend hours upon hours spraying every square inch of the game world with water to find them.

In my oppinion. Galaxys LEVELS are just as hard as 64's.

[BuyMeThingsnow]

and spending hours upon hours combing every inch of a games world just to find some thing that simply changes the ending slightly is not my idea of fun or challenge.

[Playstation72]

well it's a lot of people's opinion's of fun and challenge. Alright you have your opinion, I have mine, that's it, I think Galaxy is far too overrated and this game is underrated, you disagree. Alright, that's fine.

[BuyMeThingsnow]

I'm pretty sure a lot of peoples ideas of "fun" in a video game doesnt include "walking around a dessert island for two hours spraying every square inch of dirt with a squirt gun in hopes of finding some hidden treasure that doesnt really do anything".

Not that Mario Sunshine wasnt fun. It was hella fun. And definitely underated. But I also think Mario Galaxy is a completely worthy addition to the Mario series. And has earned the praise its gotten.

[Playstation72]

I didn't say Mario galaxy wasn't a good game, I just don't think it's the best mario game ever, which is what people think. It can't touch Super Mario 3 or Super Mario world. I would say 64 is better but I'm a huge fan boy of that game because it was the first game I ever played, so it's tough not to be.

[DarkS1m]

Love this tune, although Mario sounds more French than Italian in this particular number :)

[Boyce18]

lol, I remember humming this song while playing the game! Probably the most known song from this game.

Fills very well it's role!

[peoswriter1]

Yeah, Sunshine wasn't the best Mario game ever, but my wife really enjoyed it. She is not a gamer. THAT is a major accomplishment.

[iwatchvideosonutube]

one of my favorite games

[LinkTetraWW]

A pleasent song. I hope to get this game one of these years...

[barber747]

I'm surprised u dont already have it! I played this game a long time ago. And I hope u beat it, cause I never could!!

[CleverDjembe]

So funky!

Play it one more time, Charles!

[sihTdaeRtnaCuoY]

I don't understand what all the fuss was about this game. I thought it was excellent. I've beaten it many times, and I will probably beat it many more. Thanks for the music Supra.

[barber747]

I thought it was a good game, but it had a few flaws that i could not stand. That's why I could never beat it.

[sihTdaeRtnaCuoY]

Yeah, I guess I just liked the increased difficulty. I never got 100% of the blue coins though, so I technically never completed it. I think I might do that someday soon though :D

[Prophet6000]

My Favorite song. I Think Mario sunshine was a great game it is a hard mario game but i love it

[dkfreako]

Music was a great fit when you were zooming around with the turbo nozzle...though I also remember waiting ages for the boat with Yoshi near the Noki Bay entrance. Annoying stuff, as was the endless blue coin hunt.

[Jon3800]

Great song :)

[saurfan]

i accidently sold this game i so regret it i sold it on accident im getting it back i had about 98 shine sprites

[Justinbacca]

This game sucked balls (as did most of the music) but I always found this tune catchy. Luckily Nintendo redeemed themselves with Galaxy

[DrugsRfun]

Ah, this game wasn't too bad. The music was top notch. Galaxy was much better, in all possible ways, though. While playing it, you could find yourself having a Musicgasm.

Fun stuff.

[Natendo64]

An eargasm lol

[Reyllyoc]

I have to disagree that galaxy is in all possible ways better.

Galaxy had less replay value i think.

i completed sunshine twice, but galaxy was less appealing, i only completed once and never looked at it again >.>

[OneWithTheNight]

This song is stuck in my head forever and all eternity. D:

...damnit, NOW I HAVE TO PLAY SMS AGAIN

[FlamingRuby]

I use the gypsy jazz version of this song as my de facto channel theme song

[SupraDarky]

Very nice!

[Babybahamut]

This was the first song I ever heard a gamecube playing, back when we first got one and I walked in on someone playing this area. Memories! XD

[Sephiko]

If they made an Accordian Hero game, this should be in it.

I like that variation of the Mario Bros. theme they use for the obstacle courses. The one with the voices.

[VGKing]

Accordion Hero? I thought I saw something like that in one of those Adult Swim card promo things. Also came with Jug Hero and Spoons Hero :P.

[VGKing]

Nintendo beat you to it. They put it in Brawl, which pretty much counts as a Best VGM in itself :P.

[KeeSomething]

I used to hate this song with a passion when I first got the game, but it's grown on me.

[SupraDarky]

Exactly the same thing with me. :P

[KingdomHeartsWii]

wow vid 312

uve goon a long way!!!

P.S: a game with good VGM IS CALLED kingdom hearts.

U might want to check it out.

dats only a suggestion by the way

[Sephiko]

He's got Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2 on the list.

[KingdomHeartsWii]

ooo i didnt kno until i checked because i started recently

thx

[strugglepoo]

It hasn't quite grown on me. Lol, what's with the accordion note at 0:48? It's so obnoxious.

[GAMERNOW]

Nice pick, I think it fits the game well.
