Sandwiched between two revolutionary games – Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Galaxy – Sunshine is a game that’s easily overlooked.
And yet Sunshine not only looked incredible, it packed a lot of heart into those paradise adventures. But besides the gorgeous worlds, attention-demanding characters and innovative ways to smash blocks, the actual plot is usually pretty far down the company’s list of demands. Most Mario games are designed to show off just what Nintendo’s newest console can do.

How could you not fall in love with the sun, sea and FLUDD, a talking Super Soaker that revolutionised the gameplay? It was challenging but not impossible, epic but never repetitive: Sunshine was a bold, innovative and bright addition to the Mario series that has never been bettered. The SNES was eventually traded for a Sega Mega Drive (also known as the Genesis), then replaced with a PlayStation.While Mario and I kept in touch via the Game Boy, it was the GameCube’s Super Mario Sunshine that really bonded us for life. I was hooked the moment Bullet Bill came hurtling towards me. Mario and I first crossed paths one Christmas morning, when I got a second-hand SNES armed with Super Mario World, Micro Machines and International Superstar Soccer. The bundle brings together the genre-defining Super Mario 64, the epic sci-fi escape of the Wii’s flagship Super Mario Galaxy and, what might just be the finest Mario game yet, the sunny day oddball of Super Mario Sunshine. Nintendo is bundling together three of the greatest modern Mario platform games together in a surely-too-good-to-be-true package called Super Mario 3D All-Stars. To celebrate his enduring popularity, Nintendo has gone all out for his 35th birthday.
Since then he’s been the cornerstone of every Nintendo console, fronting at least 21 games in the Super Mario franchise as well as trying his hand at tennis, golf, karting, football and fighting a variety of other video game icons in a brutal battle royale. Sure, the moustachioed hero first appeared as Jumpman a few years earlier in Donkey Kong but he wasn’t the all-jumping, Goomba-stomping, mushroom-eating champion we now know and love. 35years ago, Super Mario Bros, the very first Super Mario game, was released.
