Super Mario Sunshine: Difference between revisions

Opening the map causes the game to slow massively until the transition effect is complete. There are no lingering effects after the map is open or closed, just the transition. Switching to OpenGL or Vulkan backend removes the slowdown.

=== Debug Cubes ===

During certain "Secret" scenarios, debug cubes are visible due to an uninitialized color. See {{issue|8059}}. The boxes were invisible starting with {{revision|4.0-8388}}, but returned to the old behavior in {{revision|4.0-8450}}.

=== Anisotropic Filtering ===

Use of the '''Anisotropic Filtering''' enhancement will cause water to render as white, getting increasingly worse as higher levels of anisotropic filtering are applied. Fixed with '''Arbitrary Mipmap Detection''' in {{revision|5.0-5745}}.

*Anisotropic Filtering above '''1x''' or Anti-Aliasing set to '''SSAA''' makes the graffiti disappear.

*Graffiti edges may appear blocky if '''Scaled EFB Copy''' is enabled.

The built-in Widescreen Hack causes various clipping and reflection issues. The Gecko codes below work as a replacement for the NTSC-U or PAL versions.

==== Region-Specific ====

The below Region-Specific 60FPS Gecko codes fix the blue/red coin fish speed and graffiti fill speed.

This way, I could achieve about 2.8GHz. I've beaten the game and there are barely any slowdowns, it runs full speed the whole time. The only issue I noticed was that sometimes the music hangs at the last note played, but this was solved by just resetting the emulator, or reloading a save state (so you can save state often to avoid this). I've used Direct3D9 and every speedhack enabled, with the exception of "Unable Destination Alpha", which makes the goo react weirdly.|tester=Artur}}

Usually runs at 60 FPS using OpenGL with occasional small (lowest - 55 FPS) drops around goo and pretty significant stuttering when entering/exiting the map screen (lowest - 40 FPS). Direct3D 12 runs at the 50 FPS range unless the heat wave effect is disabled, and even then it has pretty significant drops when around goo. However, the map screen doesn't make the game stutter as much.|tester=Shmilly}}
