Are you kidding me?? I love Mario games more than anyone else, which is precisely why I love Sunshine so much. Instead of dwelling on what I consider to be insignifant issues, I just let myself get sucked into the terrific gameplay. Why did I like Mario 64 in the first place? Because of the gameplay. Mario Sunshine is just like Mario 64 but with better controls, better moves, better level design, a greater difficulty level, a better camera, and is just a shitload of fun. Sure I could bitch and moan about how this is the first Mario game in seven years so it should have been more innovative, blah blah blah, but as soon I start playing the game I just can't stop smiling. I also expect to see big changes with the next Mario game, so that should take care of the innovative part.
