Super Mario Sunshine

Mario makes his debut on the Nintendo GameCube with Super Mario Sunshine. On a vacation away from the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario finds himself in a messy situation on the island of Delphino, where a Mario look-alike has been causing all kinds of trouble. Explore huge 3D environments that range from a lush waterfall paradise, to an exciting amusement park complete with a rollercoaster you can ride. Mario makes use of a new water pack, which allows him to hover, launch, and rocket around levels, as well as spray enemies with. Mario has never had so many cool new moves, or looked so good in 3D.

Problems
{{Problems|{{#vardefineecho:problems|

Game Crashes After Random Periods
The game completely freezes after running for a while. Using OpenGL backend greatly increases the delay before this happens, usually taking at least 40 minutes before crashing. Enabling Synchronize GPU Thread fixes the problem.

Shaky Props
On lower-end machines, enabling dual core mode can cause certain props to be shaky, such as the bridge in Bianco Hills. See. The only way to fix it is disable dual core mode or enable synchronize GPU thread, but that can cause slow-downs during emulation. See.

AR Codes Cause Crash
If certain Action Replay codes are activated, then the game may crash upon trying to return to a completed level. This has been confirmed with a "Press B to run fast" code. To solve the problem, simply disable the code.

Slowdown on Map Transition
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 backend removes the slowdown.

Debug Cubes
During certain "Secret" scenarios, debug cubes are visible due to an uninitialized color. See. The boxes were invisible starting with, but returned to the old behavior in.

Graffiti Behaves Oddly

 * Anisotropic Filtering above 1x or Anti-Aliasing set to SSAA makes the graffiti disappear.
 * Requires Texture Cache Accuracy to be set to safe to prevent missing graffiti textures.
 * Graffiti edges may appear blocky if Scaled EFB Copy is enabled.

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.

16:9 Aspect Ratio Fix
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-Free
By adding the Gecko code below, and enabling it, Super Mario Sunshine will run at 60FPS.

The Gecko code makes the cutscenes run very slowly. It also causes falling stars to appear in the top corner and top middle of the screen, while also making the swimming blue/red coins in Gelato Beach near impossible to get (without the turbo nozzle).

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