Plot hole: Mario is arrested in the beginning of the game after Shadow Mario frames him for the evil paint. But before he is taken into custody, he gets his Super Water back pack called F.L.U.D.D. It is a high pressure water apparatus and a potential weapon. Yet at Mario's trial, and when he's in jail, he still has F.L.U.D.D on his back. The authorities would have taken such a device from him in this situation. Even in a fantasy world such as this, it does not make sense for them to let him keep the artificially intelligent water cannon with him during his trial, much less in jail.

I used to own this game for my Game Cube.
While I can't say I'm a Mario super fan like I am with series like Megaman and Metroid, and to a degree Zelda as well... I am still a pretty big fan of Mario games. My very first game ever was Super Mario World that I got for my SNES back in 1994. And then Mario 64 was the launch title I got with my N64 a little later. Those games and other early Mario games being big parts of my childhood.
Mario Sunshine I was very excited to get, and at first I didn't have a copy of my own. I would play it at my nephew's house when I'd go over there and be on his Game Cube. (we're only 6 years age difference) But then I did get my own copy of the game and played it a lot. While it's not as great as Mario 64, it's still a very good and fun game. I think it's sometimes over looked too much or underrated as just "the game where Mario sprays water at paint monsters."
yes that's a big part of it but it's still Mario, in a 3D world with great mechanics and controls, an interesting story and trying to do something new. The setting is cool, if not a slight bit repetitive. Challenging, but I found it tons of fun.
I like it a lot and it introduced us to Bowser Jr... which come on. Despite how the game ends and that conversation between Bowser and Junior... and what Nintendo has said after the fact... we *all* know that Junior is Peach and Bowser's kid. Ha ha.
Anyways, very fun game. If you've skipped this one just from hearing other's dismiss it as the Mario water gun game, do give it a shot.
Mistake Status: Aside from the obvious plot hole at the start of the game... N/A. I no longer own this game. Might watch videos of cut scenes later on though.
