I beat Bowser and stuff, but still a few Shines short.

I did this with all 120 shines! I made 116, that's when I had to turn to the guide for the blue coin locations.

It took me a YEAR to finish it kept on getting stuck and stop playing it.
1 day decided to go back on it and managed to finish it. MARIO RULES

I hate the special levels where you don't get your water jet pack thingy! I'm really bad at them

I just finally got Yoshi last night. Now I can go back to Episode 8: Yoshi's Fruit Adventure in Ricco Harbor. I heard this level is killer.

I hate the special levels as well because of the camera views. They always mess me up and I die. Thank God for the 1 UP's.

Have faithfully played through the game about once a year since it came out. Up to 117 shines this last time, but the blue coins are ass kickers. I'll be honest, the first time through, right after it came out, I felt it was weaker the SM64....but after this last time through I consider it one of the great console games of all time...

ALSO...WTF, COOP (with all due respect)? Too Reliant on the water pack? It was the entire focus of gameplay, it's what set this Mario Game Apart from the pack. If you didn't care for FLUDD, I can't believe you liked the game well enough to finish it. I think FLUDD is what saved this from being just another MARIO game...it was the unique element that replaced the long running mushroom power up system. For me, personally, it really worked. Not that I don't love a little fire flower once in a while...and God knows I chase Beaver Tail whenever I can...

Prior to Sunshine though, I still felt the SMB 3 was the best of all the games (including SM64). But that was my first. It was also by far the longest and most challenging of all of them though. Still has a special place in my heart.

For those playing Sunshine for the first time right now:
Enjoy it. Savor it. Caress it. Nintendo doesn't get much better than this.
Can't wait for Galaxy


...And Listen to the ADVICE in the above posts...it is not meant to be a linear game, you HAVE to jump around from level to level. The game can not be completed one world at a time beginning to end...and in the end, it's a much more fun game for being able to have some flexibility to what challenge you'll face next.

I love the water pack, very different and lots of fun!

Mario is super, but this game wasn't, utter rubbish.

I think it is a good game. Not as great as SM64 but still a worthy title in its own right.
