'''''Super Mario Sunshine''''' ([[ESRB]]: Everyone) is a [[Nintendo GameCube]] [[video game]] starring [[Mario]]. It was originally released in 2002. The game serves as an indirect follow-up to ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. The game's main premise is a departure from several other ''Super Mario'' games in that it involves Mario taking a vacation with [[Princess Peach]] and [[Toadsworth]] to [[Isle Delfino]], only to be forced to clean the entire island after it had been massively polluted by a mysterious impostor named [[Shadow Mario]]. The game was later ported to the [[Nintendo Switch]] compilation game ''[[Super Mario 3D All-Stars]]'' alongside two other ''Super Mario'' games, ''Super Mario 64'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''.

Mario receives help from a water pack named [[F.L.U.D.D.]] for most of his journey. Aside from cleaning Isle Delfino, Mario has to also collect all 120 [[Shine Sprite]]s, the game's equivalent to the [[Power Star]]s of ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', so that they can each return to the Shine Gate, Isle Delfino's source of bright sunlight, where they fled when Shadow Mario polluted the Shine Monument.

Princess Peach does not start out being the damsel-in-distress, but after Mario has recovered a couple of Shine Sprites, she is kidnapped by Shadow Mario.

''Super Mario Sunshine'' emphasizes the moral of helping other people in need.
