Water, water everywhere so let's all have a drink!
Mario made his 3D platforming debut on the N64 way back in 1996 in one of the greatest and most influential pieces of gaming ever. Fast forward the clock six years and you'll find Nintendo's attempt to beat the near unbeatable in Mario's next adventure, but in order to top its predecessor a hefty...

The release of Super Mario 3D All-Stars has had us debating at Nintendo Life Towers which of the Mario adventures in the third dimension is the absolute best. Team Nintendo Life has its own ideas about the best Super Mario games (including the 2D entries), but we recently asked for your opinions regarding the 3D entries specifically...
About The Game

Started out this game and got into the first 2 hours of it. What I saw I loved. This game I think is quite under rated.
I never really got into this game. It takes all the things I dislike about Mario 64 and pushes them to the nth degree.
I love this game! I think I even like it more than Super Mario 64!
Words cannot describe how messed up this game is. FLUDD made Mario feel like he was carrying a rock on his back, and he felt really restricted. The setting of the game was meh, and even Yoshi was messed up (Yoshi DIES in water)! Both SM64 and SMG are far superior games and SMS might be the only actually bad Mario game.
Most underrated game EVA
I'm having problems getting all of the Shine Sprites. But as soon as I finish, I'm done.
I saw Chuggaconroy(on Youtube)do a LP(let's play) of it.
Just bough a mint copy off ebay for $40. I am so exited because the last time i played this was back in 2003. LOVED it.
Finally got around to playing this one.It's actually better than I thought it would be.
8:10 this is a classic but a bit hard for me
so easy to past.i think thier is such thing as a machien as fludd.
My first mario game, i got it back when i was little, i didnt really get it then, actualy it tok me 2 years to pass it all! its still an amaizing, great and fun game.
So underrated.
Apparantly, it's one of the least like Mario games, but I really can't see why. It was released when I was two, but I love it now; one of my favourite games.
Super mario sunshine 2 3ds please or remake
This is by far my favorite Mario adventure. I remember when I first played it, It was and still is AWESOME! Tragically, I can't play it on my Wii U Deluxe...Darn!
i had no problem with the voice acting
Why do so many people hate this game it is so much fun
@Knux have you played it
Please make Super Mario Sunshine 2
o jogo e otimo me lembra o super mario 64 do N64!!!
Playing this again for the first time in years. Hands down, one of the best Mario's made, I just don't get the hate for it. It's Mario but with water, wouldn't have splatoon without SMS. Would love a HD remake and sequel on the NX. With a new, updated gamecube controller of course.
Most underrated Mario game in my opinion, it improves on Super Mario 64 with things like more obvious hints on how to collect each shine and a FAR better camera, and even though Sunshine does have its share of problems, I still think it's not only the best 3D Mario game, but the best Mario game in general.
This game is incredibly under rated in my opinion due to how many countless hours of replay ability this game has. I honestly think that the whole plot of the game and the aspect of FLUDD was really we used.
Release it for the Nintendo Switch!!!
