So that begs the question, is Super Mario Galaxy the sequel we deserved after Sunshine? If this is something you've ever wondered, you've come to the right place. Thankfully, Nintendo changed the setting again, taking the plumber into space and the overall experience cranked up to eleven. Then, five years later, we got Super Mario Galaxy. Sure, there were a few new elements, like the two new enemies, Scuttlebug and the Sushi shark, but it was still very safe.įlash forward six years later, and this is where things really gain momentum with Super Mario Sunshine. There was so much new in Sunshine, and not just with the new enemies, of which there were plenty, but also with the new setting, the FLUDD hover pack, and the fact that it takes place during the summer on a tropical island - which is yet to be replicated by Nintendo. For example, in hindsight, Mario's original Nintendo 64 entry was pretty generic. I’m not just talking about the process of entering an entire dimension no, I’m talking about Nintendo’s tendency to change up its flagship franchises as seen with Zelda and occasionally Metroid. But in between all of those, there had to be changes. The bold changes didn't stop there though, and we fans received many more great 3D and 2D entries over the years.

We then got Super Mario World for the SNES and after that the revolutionary Super Mario 64, which brought the franchise into 3D.
