スーパーマリオサンシャイン
"Super Mario Sunshine" won "GameSpot"s annual "Best Platformer on GameCube" award. "GamePro" gave it a perfect score, stating that the game was "a masterpiece of superior game design, infinite gameplay variety, creativity, and life." The American-based publication "Game Informer" said that the game is arguably "the best "Mario" game to date." "Computer and Video Games" also mentioned the game is "better than "Super Mario 64"." The game placed 46th in "Official Nintendo Magazine"'s 100 greatest Nintendo games of all time. Allgame gave a lower review, stating that "During the six-year span between "Super Mario 64" and "Super Mario Sunshine", platform games have become more epic, more interactive, and prettier. Yet the core element of collecting items in a world divided into sub-sections has been left unchanged. So it comes with a modicum of disappointment that "Super Mario Sunshine" doesn't shake up the genre with a number of new and fresh ideas other than the usual enhancements expected from a sequel."
