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.

Graffiti Behaves Oddly

 * Anisotropic Filtering above 1x or Anti-Aliasing to SSAA makes the graffiti disappear. Additionally, MSAA is broken on D3D11 only due to a bug
 * The graffiti may slide across surfaces and erase itself if Force Texture Filtering is enabled.
 * Requires Texture Cache Accuracy to safe to prevent missing graffiti textures.
 * Without Store EFB Copies to Texture Only unchecked, graffiti cannot be sprayed away. As such it's forced on by INI.  Be aware that opening the graphics menu without this setting will cause issues.

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.

Turning Works Improperly
If you have "Skip EFB Access to CPU" turned on, the game thinks you're behind an object and makes the turning radius much tighter. To avoid this, make sure Skip EFB Access to CPU is disabled.

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.

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 code below works as a replacement for any region, causing less issues. Make sure the Dolphin Widescreen Hack is disabled before using this code. This may cause the graffiti glitch to occur.

60FPS
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.
