Super Mario Sunshine
God I miss this game, and I really want to play it in HD. I'm surprised Nintendo hasn't re-released it digitally yet - but a lot of gamecube games haven't yet. I feel like it was a true sequel to Mario 64 - Super Mario Galaxy didn't do it for me and although graphically appealing - the gameplay really wasn't the same.
Anyone else dying of a HD remake of Sunshine or just a re-release on VC?

I took matters into my own hands and modded the wii u to play gamecube games with nintendon't.
I need to get back to playing sunshine it is pretty fun. My only gripe about the game is it does not let you invert the horizontal axis which is so annoying.
I have yet to find a 3D Mario Platformer that I have been able to enjoy. I guess I'm showing my age, but I just prefer the 2D stuff.
This. Nothing after Mario 64 really does it for me. I remember getting Sunshine about a year after it came out and being really unimpressed. A lot of the stuff on the GameCube always felt "off" to me. Very hard to explain.

Sunshine is different I agree, but after playing for awhile - getting to those high places and completeing those super hard challenges it really grew on me. It has that Mario 64 charm - but not at first. Kind of hard to explain.

I admit I didn't play Sunshine for anywhere near as long as I've played SM64, so I have no problem believing that.

This is actually a pretty good explanation. Besides the very first world or two, some of the actual level entrances can be a little tricky to get to or even find at first. I initially didn't really like the setup, but once you get into the game it feels like a more indepth Mario 64 with more challenge. There are a few Shine Sprites that are annoying as fuck to get though, but overall I think the game offers more challenge and variety than Mario 64. Having said all that I still prefer 64 for a couple reasons. Sunshine is definitely the better looking game obviously.
As long as we don't get another 3D World I'll be happy. Another game similar to 64 or sunshine would be fantastic. I think 2 galaxies is enough though, I don't think 2 was as good as 1.
I actually really enjoyed 3D World on the Wii U, what made you not a fan?

You're crazy. 3D World was one of the best 3D Mario games yet.
Man, I'm really surprised to read all the lukewarm opinions of the Galaxy games, I thought both games were amazingly well-crafted. They both seemed to me like those special kind of games that EGM would have given the near-impossible to achieve "10" score back when EGM gave out one of those maybe every 2-3 years.
I'm with you. The Galaxy games are two of my favorite games ever. It's been a long time since I've been so mezmorized with a game like I did with either one.
I frequently replay it, but it feels like less than %50 is actually worth playing.

I liked 64, Sunshine and Galaxy 1 the best mainly because of all the options you have for movement, I think that's what makes the platforming enjoyable. In 64 they had the long jump, wall jump, side flip, back flip etc. Then sunshine gave you more options with the fludd and Galaxy with the spin when you shake the wiimote. I had the most fun figuring out different ways to get places that weren't intended, and that's where I get my replay value from. I also prefer the game being non linear. I don't hate 3D world, I just feel it was a step down.
