Classic Commercials – Super Mario Sunshine

Watch the archived video on YouTube ↗ Hmm…I can see where Nintendo was headed with this marketing style, but it seemed to fail on all fronts. One of my favorite underrated titles on the old purple lunch box. Those water effects/physics still amaze me. Where’s my ‘New Play Control’ version of this game?

  1. I’m assuming that commercial was designed to be purposely corny. It kind of reminds me of the Smash Brothers 64 commercials.

    Speaking of this game I still need to beat it. I bought it pretty recently, but haven’t had a chance to finish it.

  2. I kept expecting the mood to shift from heartfelt to satirical, a la the Smash Bros’ Happy Together commercial.

  3. lol very… weird… Not sure that ad would make me want the game, but hey, defintely does remind me of the smash bros 64 commercial.

    I love the game, ‘s I actually prefer it to Mario 64, it plays so much smoother, Mario 64 was the first 3d Mario and it was the biggest jump, I get that, but I still see Mario Sunshine as the better game.

  4. You make a good point; why the heck is this game (ESPECIALLY LUIGI’S MANSION) not have a New Play Control treatment. @_@

  5. Still my favorite platformer of all time. People complain about a lack of variety, but I’d rather seven or eight large, well-done consistent, impeccably designed areas with a similar theme plus a few dozen surreal bonus areas than the usual green-hills level, desert level, ice level stuff.

  6. Dude this commercial is total degrading Super Mario Sunshine
    That was one of the best games ever!!!!!!!
    Like Super Mario Galaxy was OK,
    But like Raindog says 7 or 8 Worlds with 8 Stars per
    unlike Super Mario Galaxy wiere there was 3 Stars Per World
    There was no consistency, no theme between them

    Anyways I can’t wait till the Wii-Make of this
    but if this keeps up I might just get the Gamecube version again
