Super Mario Sunburn ROM Description

Super Mario Sunburn emerges as the phoenix from the ashes of Super Mario Sunshine‘s shortcomings, offering a revitalized open-world experience complete with new levels, modern gameplay mechanics, and a far more lenient shine-collecting system.

Super Mario Sunshine often left players feeling like they’d received the short end of the stick with its frustrating camera issues and divisive inclusion of the sentient water pump, F.L.U.D.D. But thanks to a modder named Wade, the GameCube classic has been reimagined in an ambitious project known as Super Mario Sunburn. This groundbreaking mod, two years in the making, catapults the title into the realm of modern open-world games. One of its most player-friendly features is that collecting shines no longer boots Mario back to the island hub, allowing continuous exploration and shine-collecting.

Applying this transformation isn’t overly complicated. A clean rip of the original Super Mario Sunshine game for Nintendo GameCube is all you need. Once you have that, the Sunburn patch can be applied via Delta Patcher on Windows. You can then dive into this enhanced experience either through an emulator, even embellished with an optional HD Texture pack, or on actual Nintendo hardware. Yes, it’s that versatile, and certainly worthy of your WaveBird controller.

The timing of Super Mario Sunburn’s release couldn’t be more poignant. It comes on the heels of Nintendo’s lackluster compilation, Super Mario 3D All-Stars, which failed to give Sunshine the modernizing touch it sorely needed. Even basics like a 16:9 widescreen format were omitted, a feature Sunburn readily offers. With Nintendo set to pull 3D All-Stars from its shelves and relegate it to “Bowser’s Vault,” now is the opportune moment to experience Sunshine as it should have been all along.
