Super Mario Sunshine (NCG)

Super Mario Sunshine was first released 2002 but was re-released in 2003 on the players choice list. As you might assume being on the players choice list is no accident. SMS is a very fun game, this one bends from the classic Mario it still has the usual storyline. The Princess gets kidnapped (by bowser Jr. this time) after Mario, Peach and Toadsworth go to Isle Delfino a tropical paradise. The new twist is that Bowser Jr. can transform into a passable version of Mario himself! Bowser Jr. also carries a paintbrush made by Prof. Egadd, and of course F.L.U.D.D. (Flash Liquidizer Ultra Dowsing Device) is also a professor Egadd invention. Mario is ordered by court to clean the island, which is plauged by lack of sunlight because Bowser Jr. has drawn graffitti all over the island making the shine sprites, the energy scource of Isle Delfino, leave. The court rules that untill the isle is free from graffitti Mario won't be alowed to leave.

Gameplay is addicting as you use moves such as triplejump, walljump, or other classics (along with FLUDD) to stomp your way to victory! Unlike the metroid series you can only collect shine sprites and a select few Fludd power-ups (including yoshi!).
