You know very well what your original stance was, but as per usual you changed it because you were losing the debate.
And of course there are palm trees in Mario Sunshine's levels. The whole theme is "tropical island"! But the levels are much better designed and more unique (in architecture) than Mario 64's. Mario 64 was the first game of its kind, and it was obvious that the developers were just experimenting with 3D platforming level design. Not that it wasn't great, but they definitely improved with Sunshine.
