Super Mario Sunshine launched as a mediocre platformer in 2002, and has aged even worse. Its camera is combative, its world and level design lacks imagination, and the mechanical pacing leaves F.L.U.D.D. feeling like a cheap gimmick. Sunshine was packed with potential, and perhaps a remake could alleviate these issues, but the game that exists today is a disjointed, unpolished mess.
