What Would A Super Mario Sunshine 2 Look Like?

I actually planned out a Super Mario Sunshine 2 in detail once. In short: A mysterious beam of light steals the Shine Sprites from Delfino Plaza and drags them away to the Sky Archipelago, a group of island shaped like various things you see in the sky, like a bird, a cloud, lightning, the moon et cetera. Hubworld is Delfino Plaza again and you can take boats to all tge islands except the sun island that is surrounded by a dangerous maelstrome. The island are all open sandboxes where you can get various Shine Sprites and of course each has a boss to fight, some from the original Sunshine but with a twist (Monty Mole has a submarine now, King Boo appears as Captain Boo in pirate attire, et cetera), some new. And each island has a theme, of course. And goo to clean up, obviously. Shadow Mario is also there again, causing trouble. You meet two important characters, the hotel owner Estrella and Bowsewr Jr. who is held prisoner on the moon island. He says someone stole his magic paintbrush but he doesn't know who. When we of course make it to the sun island in the end, we learn that Shadow mario is Estrella and that she is working for the big bad if this game - Angry Sun. Now bigger and angrier than ever, thanks to absorbing a ton of Shine Sprites.

I've said this for years now. Super Mario Sunshine was my favorite game as a kid and i can only imagine how good a sequel would be with all the technology and engines they have now. Unfortunately we will never see it:/

Excellent take! I think it's very close to being my favorite 3D Mario, with Galaxy being ever so slightly above it. My sister and I loved playing this game and still do when we are able to. I think they would find a way to bring Yoshi into the water somehow, that would be neat. Also meeting Charles Martinet last month for the first time, we both talked about Sunshine and before I could say it first, he said "I wish they made another Mario Sunshine!" Couldn't agree more...

If we did, piantas would destroy the earth, leaving no survivors. We would need to fight back with strength and cooperation, and if we do it, we could possibly save the world (and Delfino plaza) Pianta Takeover, coming soon to a theater near you. I hope Nin10doland sees this one lol

I was addicted to watching people play sunshine when I was younger

Really hope they make a second game before I die, I've been in love with the game since I was 5 years old to now

Mario doesn't need a water gun... That's what FLUDD is for.

Every other 3D Mario game was sort of part of a series Mario 64 and Mario 64 DS Mario Galaxy and Mario Galaxy 2 And even 3D land and 3D world All of them are part of a series except for Odyssey and Sunshine (I’m not sure if Bowser’s Fury would be part of 3D land/world or Sunshine but it’s probably also in a series)

What I love about Sunshine is the ambience. Odyssey brags about globe-trotting and what not but cannot hold a candle to isle delfino which truly feels like a real world location youd want to vacation in. Sprawling beaches, hotels, indigenous populations, a thematic about cleannig the enviornment and the challenging mechanics that come with Fluud and with a practical sensical map design that doesnt feel video-gamey, its still my second favorite Mario game next to galaxys 1 and 2

Wall of text warning, I hope you like this idea The story starts similarly to the first game with Peach’s plane arriving on the Delfino airstrip, this time without any issues. Mario and friends are greeted by a Pianta welcoming party celebrating their arrival but as they exit the plane the airstrip is attacked. Moving toward the airstrip as a goopy substance it jumps from the water and lands on the airplane as a formless pile of goop before reconstituting into a giant polluted Gushen (the octopus guys from Mario odyssey). The welcoming party scatters in fear but much like last time Mario defeats it using a FLUUD unit. It is later explained that since the events of the first game the island keeps them placed around in case of emergencies like this one. It is during this that Mario sees in the distance a shadowy figure in the form of Bowser jr. Immediately after its defeat the Piantas cheer Mario and congratulate him. But then a large shadow overtakes the airstrip as Bowser's airship blots out the sun as it ominously approaches the airstrip, landing right right on top of where Peach's airplane was before it was destroyed. The tension is high as the drawbridge-like front doors of the airship slowly lower to the ground, the inside of the ship completely dark. This is followed by a bunch of Koopalings happily rushing out carrying comically large luggage ( a visual I would like is Wendy filing her nails as she is lying atop a tower of her luggage as it is being carried by Morton.) The group move right past Mario and friends, heading toward the gondola to the main Island as Bowser and Bowser jr are the last to exit the airship, with Bowser looking relieved like a parent who can finally relax after several hours stuck in a car with their noisy children and Bowser jr mentioning he can’t wait to explore the island with his Koopa klown car since he didn’t have it last time. Mario and friends along with all the Pinatas are staring at him and Bowser replies “did i miss something” It immediately cuts to the trial scene from the first game, except this time Bowser Jr is being prosecuted by the Piantas. The Piantas bring up video surveillance of what I will call “shadow Bowser Jr” essentially shadow Mario texture on Bowser jr wrenching havoc on the island. Bower and Bowser jr were originally given amnesty for their antics on Isle Delfino because Bowser promised to leave them a 5 star review, but Jr’s current antics have voided that amnesty. As his punishment Bowser and his family are barred from ever vacationing in isle Delfino again and Bowser jr has to clean up his current mess much like Mario had to do in the first game. Bowser pleads with Mario to help Jr with this, as he knows Jr hates cleaning up, even more so when it isn’t his fault, and he won’t be able to see Jr until the whole island is clean. Mario, Peach, and the toads stare at him in an unimpressed manner. Bowser then gets on his knees and states that he knows they have caused problems in the past but Jr is innocent, Bowser also mentions that his family desperately needs a vacation. Mario reluctantly agrees and decides to help Jr clean up the island while discovering who actually caused this and why they disguised themselves as Bowser jr. This culprit is later revealed to be none other than EL PIANTISSIMO, angry that he was humiliated by Mario in the previous game and that his fame has essentially evaporated on the island due to the events of the first game. He has taken Bowser Jr's paintbrush (as seen in the end of the credits from Sunshine 1) and wreaked havoc on the island with the help of an unseen force. He knew the Piantas wouldn’t fall for the Shadow Mario trick twice so he decided to disguise himself as Bowser Jr to also frame him. He plans to wreak havoc on the island and then come in as the hero to fix the situation, though he has been a bit lazy on that second part. A gameplay idea I had was using Bowser jr’s Klown car to open up new areas in the island, and even have an upgrade to transform it into a submarine to aid Mario in exploring sinister dark ruins deep below the ocean that belonged to a malevolent species that worshiped things called the Abyssal sprites, the dark counterpart to isle delphino’s Shine sprites. I have more idea’s I’d like to share but this is already too long

Simple answer: it wouldn’t make sense to go that far back. So it’s very unlikely but hey it’s Nintendo anything can happen.

water melon power up 🔥🔥🔥🍉🍉🍉also what if we have a water-blade nozzle to FLUDD? Or even bring cappy into sunshine?

Players P.1 Mario P.2 Luigi P.3 Blue P.4 Peach Extra/aftergame P.⭐️ Rosalina P.⭐️Bowser.JR or shadowMario /take your pick P.⭐️Nabbit

I would definitely pick up and play Super Mario Sunshine 2, for sure!

dude imagine the movement tech we could have if they merged oddysey's movement with the fludd, if momentum was a thing we could have a dlc/late post game world that requires really advanced movement tech as they do in celeste for example and even hiding secrets around the main world that you could not get to without movement tech i feel like this would add a lot of skill ceiling + a reason to grind mechanics in a mario game thats not speedrunning

2025: Open World Mario 2029: Mario Galaxy 3 2033: Mario Odyssey 2 2037: Mario Sunshine 2

I loved Sunshine. I can't tolerate repetition, and I felt that Sunshine really shook up the traditional Mario Formula without abandoning the core mechanics. Stellar game. I also hope for a sequel.

Okay here me out Mario sunshine but the way you go around is like how you go around in wind waker

You know what? I wouldn't mind an Sunshine sequel. It would fixed so many problems that the original has. Like the level designs, the missions, the difficulty spikes, the physics, the mandatory progression, the difficulty spikes, the plot, the 100% completion, etc. If we get something like an combination between Odyssey & Bowser's Fury gameplay style with alot more polished and better quality, than it be an superior sequel.

I like Sunshine. My only problem was that Rage Inducing Camera acting up at weird times. Super Mario 3D All-Stars highlighted it when placed with Galaxy.
