Unpolished, unfinished, rushed, these are all words used to describe the game that is Super Mario Sunshine. Releasing 6 years after Super Mario 64 revolutionized the home console industry, Super Mario Sunshine looked to build and somewhat redefine what it meant to play Mario.
Although it received good reviews upon it's initial release, and saw some moderate success financially, Super Mario Sunshine has been the topic of fierce debate since its release. Is it a good game? Is it a good Mario game?
Who knows, but today on VideoGameDocs we'll be discussing the History of Super Mario Sunshine.
