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.

Patches

16:9 Aspect Ratio Fix

The following AR codes work as a widescreen hack for the PAL version of the game. Be sure that "Enable cheats" is on in the game menu and "Force 16:9" is selected in the graphics options!

Problems

White Water

If anisotropic filtering is used the reflections on ocean water will enlarge to absurd proportions, basically turning the water white. See issue 5676.

Goo/Oil Behaves Oddly

  • EFB to Texture is disabled in the GameINI, requiring you to play it in EFB to RAM. If this is changed, goo/oil may behave oddly and be impossible to spray away.
  • The goo/oil may slide across surfaces and erase itself if "Force Texture Filtering" is enabled. If already disabled, turning off "Scaled EFB Copy" can also resolve this.

Striped Loading Screens

The loading screens appear "striped" in OpenGL. The exact behavior is as follows.

  • Manually setting IR - Works
  • Auto (windows size) - Broken on all window sizes
  • Auto (Multiple of 640x528) - Works at all window sizes except 1x

D3D does not have this problem. See issue 6139. Fixed by 4.0-4699.

Clipped Wall Death

During Pianta Village 5 (the chuckster special stage) on the last throw, there is a catcher platform that you can clip through. Clipping into the platform will make the game think you are crushed, killing you. You can get the shine in spite of the glitch but it makes completing the game very difficult. Use JITIL Recompiler to avoid the problem. See issue 6096. Fixed by 4.0-1706.

Goo Bubbles

Bubbles in goo are rendered oddly regardless of configuration. See (issue 540). Fixed with merger of the tev_fixes_new branch in 4.0-1192.

r7714 Windows 7 x64 Intel Core i3-370M @ 2.4GHz AMD Radeon HD 6370M Fully Playable: Graphics and sound can stall for a fraction of a second between scene changes occasionally causing a slight sound stutter, again for a fraction of a second, otherwise no known problems.
^3.0 Windows 7 x64 AMD Turion II M520 @ 2.3GHz ATI Radeon HD 4200 Runs great at 20-25 FPS with the dx11 plugin, and change the texture accuracy to fastest, enable OpenCL and OpenMP, disable fog, change EFB copies to RAM and enable cache, enable cache display lists and fast mipmaps and also hide shader errors.

3.0-204 Windows 7 x64 Intel Core i5-750 @ 2.67GHz ATI Radeon HD 5850 Perfectly playable. 30 FPS consistent, with very rare drops to around 90%. Only exception is secret shine involving tall grass and 8 red coins, which runs around 60%. crumbworks

Direct3D9, 1280x1024, 2X Internal Res, 9X SSAA, Disabled Scaled EFB Copy (avoids sliding goo), EFB Copy to RAM. No heat wave/blur (due to revision & personal preference). Goo is rendered fine. Only found 1 missing texture but it's minor. 48 sprites in and no major issues found so far. Jodeth
3.0-371 Linux Slackware 13.37 x86_64 Intel Core i5-2500K @ 3.3GHz nVidia GeForce GTX 550 Ti Games plays perfectly. 30 FPS with no slowdowns or graphical glitches using OpenGL, 2x IR, 4x AA, audio throttling. The goo renders fine with EFB copies set to RAM. GMSE01.ini overwrites default Dolphin configuration to use RAM, so if you start the game up with EFB copies on Texture, it still uses RAM, unless you change your settings in game play. Shonumi
3.0-601 Windows 7 x86 Intel Core i5-650 @ 3.20GHz Intel HD Graphics Fully playable at native internal resolution and enabled OpenCL and Disabled Per Pixel Depth. Dual Core and Idle Skip also enabled. Also EFB to RAM enabled at Max speed. Consistent speed of 89-100% averaging at 95% with the 89% only happening in rare instances (eg: Main square @ Delfino Plaza). FPS solid @ 25-30 SoulFly
3.0-684 Windows 7 x64 AMD FX-4100 @ 4.5GHz nVidia GeForce GTS 250 Tested with (DX9). Very good emulation. Be sure to "MMU ​​Speedhack" let off, to avoid errors Games. In game 25 FPS, 50 FPS video. Meanwhile, the game with "DSP HLE emulation" to be played. Serverbot777
3.0-684 Windows 7 x64 AMD FX-4100 @ 4.5GHz nVidia GeForce GTS 250 Tested with (DX9). In newer Dolphin versions, an error has crept in, and that if I had during the game on the memory card save, and then save-game-state charging, and later a game was stored on the memory card would, there is an error, you can not play more of this to save memory card.

3.0-692 Windows 7 x64 Intel Core i7-2630QM @ 2GHz nVidia GeForce GT540M Fine at 50 FPS and 50 VPS with the DX9 plugin, not tested the DX11 plugin, and change the texture accuracy to fastest, enable OpenCL and OpenMP, disable fog, EFB to Ram, disable AA. No graphics bugs seen. TiJack
3.0-692 Windows 7 x64 AMD FX-4100 @ 4.5GHz nVidia GeForce GTS 250 The most cheats work either not, or there is a crash-emulations. Serverbot777

3.5-290 Windows 7 x64 Intel Core i3-2350 @ 2.3GHz nVidia GeForce 410M The cheat doesn't work for the PAL version, always the problem of Inkstains Dratal
3.5-1914 Windows 7 x64 Intel Core i7-3770 @ 3.4GHz nVidia GeForce GTX 680 Fully playable on 1080p with FXAA activated in the nVidia Control Panel StarDave
4.0 Windows 7 x64 Intel Core i7-3517U @ 1.9GHz Intel HD Graphics 4000 I had to use Throttlestop because my CPU's clock is too low. 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. Artur
4.0 Windows 8.1 x64 AMD FX 4300 @ 3.8GHz AMD R7 260X Fully Playable 30 or 60 FPS forcing 16:9 widescreen

4.0-6 Arch Linux Intel Core i7-3517U @ 1.9GHz Intel HD Graphics 4000 Runs very well at a constant 25 FPS with max graphics settings. Ultrabook fan goes very fast, not ideal system for playing. Jakbest
^4.0.1 Windows 7 x64 Intel i5-3570K @ 4.4GHz nVidia GTX 460 Emulation accuracy is near perfect with a few small bugs and graphical glitches. Use DirectX 11 to fix the heat effect issue. Heat effects render behind objects rather then in front on OpenGL. Kilobytez95
