From what I've seen, Mario Sunshine looks. . .um. . .well. . .odd. What in the world does our favorite plumber have to do with the Solar System's star? Well, odd as it is, if Mario Sunshine does have good and challenging gameplay, I'm certainly going to purchase it. I love the idea of a Mario game for the Gamecube, as its 128 bit graphics and advanced technology will probably make Mario Sunshine far superior to that of previous games, at least graphic and design-wise. I guess I have high hopes for Mario Sunshine, I certainly hope its good. As for Mario's jetpack, it does look a lot like Luigi's ghost sucker in Luigi's Mansion. My theory is that Mario Sunshine and Luigi's Mansion are somehow linked to each other in gameplay. Perhaps (like Pokemon Red and Blue) MS and LM are alternate versions of each other, and you need both games to get the real ending. This is all speculative in theory, but its all possible. Anyway, I do have high hopes for the game, even though the things I've seen are quite confusing and odd, and a Mario game for the GC sounds very promising.
