Super Mario Sunshine - Prima's Official Strategy Guide

by Bryan Stratton

Game Strengths Nintendo and Shigeru Miyamoto have done it again! Mario Sunshine is a winning successor to Super Mario 64, the game many consider to be the best console title released on the N64 and the defining game for the 3D platform genre.

Set in a coastal town, Mario must use his water cannon backpack to spray water on paint blotches that fall from the sky to preserve the beauty of his town. Mario himself is more detailed than ever, boasting a newly improved high-polygon count and detailed texturing.
