The other consoles were pushing for more, but instead the Gamecube only cared about being small?
I was fresh off Nintendo 64 so I was expecting Banjo-threeie (STOP N SWAP had been so hyped), other awesome Rare games, a new Mario, the new Zelda, and finally a Pokemon game on a modern console!
Hahaha
Mario Sunshine was such a bad game that had none of Mario 64’s soul I never touched another Mario game after that. I hated the art of Zelda Windwaker and that it had lost all the dark vibes, and obviously none of the other games I was expecting never happened. I felt completely scammed for being loyal to Nintendo. I taught me to never be loyal to a brand.
The one and only game I enjoyed on that system was Metroid Prime, but as a child I was only allowed one new console like every 5 years and I deeply regretted not getting a PS2 instead like my friends.
Fair enough. I liked that the maps felt lived in and connected, so exploration was actually more compelling for me in Sunshine, and I tend to lean away from darker games in general. Different tastes.
As someone that didn’t play sunshine as a kid but did recently, sunshine is my least favorite. The controls are clunkier than the other mario games because of the water , there was way more repetition with the bosses (the stupid goo piranha plants). Super Mario 64 was great and I feel like Super Mario Galaxy was an insane leap from Sunshine

I loved Sunshine and only learned later it was one of the more divisive 3D Mario games. What didn’t you like about it?
It was such a long time ago I just remember more of the vibes than the solid reasons I didn’t like it.
*The levels weren’t as open as 64. It felt more guardrailed. There was a lot less exploration.
*My favourite thing in 64 was getting flying caps and flying around which wasn’t a thing in Sunshine.
*64 had a darker, more mysterious tone that felt a lot more meaningful and Sunshine felt very frivolous
*cleaning up the sludge wasn’t a very fun minigame for me, it was a weird villain
By itself it was probably a good game but it shouldn’t have been a Mario game.
