    Since this video is still being recommended to people, I thought I'd put it here that I made a sequel with discusses the best Shines in the game. https://youtu.be/vx7lw_Q1S9E If you enjoyed this one, I hope you enjoy that one just as much. ^^ Thanks a million for all the support.

    I keep thinking that the next shine is the Red Coins on the lake.

    Developers, making the watermelon grinding level: "Hey, you remember the durian lady? Let's make that worse."
  • It always astonishes me that no one does the manta fight while under the huts. If you go underneath, the mantas can't touch you, they wander away from you, and you're close to the fountains for water. The piantas even say that they were safe under the huts

    Funny enough, I genuinely consider the Manta Ray goop fight as one of my favorite levels to play. Remember as a kid playing it more than once on every playthrough of Sunshine.
  • @Vailskibum
    I've been replaying it after such a long time, and I'm disappointed. There's too many moments where I'm just like "...bruh" and have to restart levels constantly.
  • Replaying this since they released it on the switch, I have no fucking idea how I played this as a child.

  • Sunshine was easily the most experimental of the 3D Marios. I think it resulted in some of the best mechanics, but a lot of the gimmicks it tried did not stick. And it tried a lot of gimmicks. Galaxy seems to have taken notes from Sunshine, cause Galaxy has its fair share of gimmicks like the ball or the Ray surfing, but they feel much more fun to use.
  • You forgot about that casino level, where you have to get to 777s, one of them totally random, the other can be manipulated with floodd, then you have to put together a shit puzzle where you think that you have already reached the sprite after 10-15 minutes, just to get a pipe to a relatively difficult secret area. I did it with 1 life back then and was really frustrated when I failed and had to do the whole casino routine again.

    Nintendo was ahead of the curve: Other games are only now getting to “gambling in video games” when Sunshine’s Pachinko machine has been making me slit my wrists for years.
  • @UnclePhil1112
    I refuse to believe anyone at Nintendo actually play tested any of the levels in this game before releasing it. That or they didn’t play test it enough.
  • The lily pad shine is the most Infuriating shine in the whole game. I've only completed it once. If I tried it again I would lose my sanity
  • @Lassikko
    When I was a kid I used to play Sunshine with my friend and I specifically remember the mission where you have to pop balloons on the rollercoaster. We tried that mission for what felt like hours and still couldn't do it. Now, as an adult, I did that mission on my first try.
  • @renkothebird
    I see a suspicious lack of yoshi's fruit adventure
  • @nickname5447
    Mysterious Hotel Delfino is actually my favorite shine in the game. Probably because I just like Hotel Delfino, but you did make some good points against it.
  • @brownyuio
    I instantly became anxious just at the first glance of Sand Bird
  • @diegojames8678
    I didn’t realize this game was gonna make me rage lol
  • @andrewgage9997
    Here’s a tip I’ve learned throughout the years regarding the #1 shine, if you take Yoshi into the tunnel by the Bianco statue, you so a spin jump out of that manhole and you can glide all the way to the platform with the banana. It makes it SO much easier and less tedious
