Well there's a rumor going around that Mario 128 is actually the Mario 64 sequel that Miyamoto mentioned during the N64 days. Remember when Miyamoto said that if people saw the sequel to Mario 64 that they might think it was a Luigi-only game? Most people assumed that Luigi's Mansion was that game, but we know that LM was not in development back when Miyamoto made that remark. So then could it have been Mario Sunshine? I don't think so since Luigi wasn't present in that game. Mario 64-II was also said to have several other controllable characters, sort of like Mario Bros. 2. Of course, things always change during development but I still don't believe that Mario Sunshine is Mario 64-II. I think Nintendo has been playing around with various ideas for Mario 64-II ever since 1997, and that Mario 128 is the evolution of those ideas.
