I'm playing a different game (board, card, pen/paper, verbal, drinking, party, arcade, carnival, recess, sport, etc.) every day for a year! Detailed posts will be shared here on the blog. For more consistent (but shorter) posts, check out www.instagram.com/oneyearofgames

Super Mario Sunshine
In celebration of the solar eclipse today, I selected Super Mario Sunshine for today's game!
What an annoying game. I knew this already. Unskippable cut scenes... seriously, does ANYONE like those? There are a LOT in the beginning of this game.
Also, FLUDD creeps me out. Always has, always will. In the image above, he scans Mario and knows his name and that he's from the Mushroom Kingdom. Why, exactly, does a backpack that squirts water need to be able to do this? I get that it's also an exposition machine, but why did this need to happen?
The primary issue at the beginning of the game is that evil Mario painted pollution all over this island, especially on the gate thing that attracts all the sun sprites, which power the island. To paraphrase FLUDD's awkward exposition, even during the day it's dark out because this stuff is in the way of the shiny thing. Kind of like... AN ECLIPSE. Neat. It fit even better than I realized it would.
