Corrections/some things I missed: kzfaq.infoKPhAW4UYEJE?feature=share

The concept of video games using greenscreens for cutscenes blows my mind for whatever reason.

Peach’s earrings using her eye texture gets me every time. It’s probably the biggest “you can’t unsee it” moment in a video game for me

WAIT I NEVER NOTICED THAT THE GOOP IN THE AIRSTRIP WAS SHAPED LIKE MARIO?? I'VE BEEN PLAYING THIS GAME SINCE I COULD WALK 😭 😭

the gibberish on the wanted poster looks like a made-up language, with the "110ka" being the reward money for catching mario

YOSHI SHAPED CLOUDS???

I tend to be pretty wary of iceberg videos because they can tend to devolve into "guy tells you things you already know for 30+ minutes and at a very slow pace", so I was a bit reluctant to watch this one at first. Luckily I did end up doing so because this video is genuinely great. You share lots of info I hadn't heard about and you do it at the perfect pace to get the information across in a succinct way. I'll be sure to check out your other videos in the future

So what this video has learned me is that Super Mario Sunshine was so rushed they did the cutscenes before the rest of the game was finished, didn't take into account egregrious continuity errors and only noticed/fixed like two things for the international release. That's crazy.

Shoutouts to the sleeping Mario clone in Pinna Park

I’ve played sunshine at least 20 times and I never noticed the eye earrings 😭😂

I’m kinda surprised they removed the ground pound block from pipe. Feels like a natural introduction to that symbol and mechanic in preparation for the final boss. I know the block exists elsewhere… but it’s never required for the player to interact with it to complete the game.

25:51 This is going to be my corn plate moment, but I had no idea this goop was supposed to be shaped like a Mario head. How did I never notice this!

As far as I understand, the text on the wanted poster means: 見かけたら110か小判まで (mikaketara 110ka koban made) rough translation by me: „If you happen to see this person you will be rewarded with up to 110 coins“ Not 100% sure about this, usually in the Mario world coins are called Koin コイン, not Koban, 小判. I believe it’s usually the case in this game too. Also not fully sure about the ka after the number. It might mark the value of the reward as uncertain(?) It’s probably not a counter for coins, that would usually be mai 枚 Maybe someone with more knowledge can clarify 😅

There’s text in the game that references ‘mare’ and ‘monte’ even though it only makes sense in the Japanese versions. And Mario has an extra voice line in the Japanese version

I feel like I've been seeing more and more Super Mario Sunshine content lately and I love it so much. Please keep up the good work

As someone who's absolutely obsessed with everything to do with this game it's great to see this covered outside tcrf and shown more clearly as well as things that aren't documented on there yet. Something I want to also point out that's not in this or the corrections/missed video is that the dolphic poster in the hotel uses another beta map. Pinna Park is connected to Delfino Island in it meaning it's probably from when it was an extension of the hub. Also wildly the Ferris wheel in Rico's M graffiti is more orange than it is red. I consider remaking and updating my iceberg on this game sometimes but what a task that would be...

That noki bay waterfall idea is just great I love this channel

Always excited when someone else notices the beta map in the opening cutscene. Some unused text in the files offers names for these cut levels as Hotel Lacrima, Erto Rock (mentioned in the video), Warship Island, Fire Shrine and Lighthouse Island (the last three likely being placeholder names).

I cannot believe how many of these things I never noticed before.

My guess is that the unused barrels in the intro would've been used to refill Fludd's tank, but since that spot is already so close to water already, they were removed soon after

There's a drawing done by Mark from NGC magazine of a giant piranha plant rooted inside the windmill. He was shown an exclusive trailer by Nintendo for the magazine. although there's no footage he did some sketches of what he saw. Another interesting sketch he did was of a Yoshi with a text dialogue box.

30:57 I like how you used the Serena Beach locked door animation as a wave/greeting

I dunno if this has been mentioned to you yet, but the Blooper cutscene uses a different Mario model. I'm certain of this because even as a kid, Mario looked off to me in that particular cutscene, and only that particular cutscene. I have no idea why they used a different model there, but it has always bothered me. The model looks extremely similar to the one used for the Mario Party games (and Luigi's Mansion's ending), so maybe it was a placeholder model and then they forgot to change it for the Blooper scene? Either way, you blew my mind with the green screen thing. I just cannot believe every single cutscene is actually going through a green screen.

I honestly love how theres enough weird stuff in this game to make an iceberg video entirely about just the cutscenes lmao, great video 👍

I find it weird they removed burning buildings in the game even though this a WarioWare Smooth Moves microgame based off Mario Sunshine that has you put out fires in a building 😂.

During the NES days, developers were often listed in the credits under codenames. There's a chance the wanted poster has some codenames on it maybe.

wait so tara strong is the official japanese voice for bowser jr dam she talented

I was so insanely obsessed with this game as a child, even into the Wii era. Even now, I still love learning more obscure details about it

using noki bay as the iceberg backdrop was a very clever move

Max you’re wrong about the fish cuisine, there are fish on Ricco 8 with the baskets that have a blue coin, and peach is next to a fish in the postcard credits. All jokes a side though, fantastic video, your quality is truly amazing and I admire your drive.

29:31 i was a bit furious at this part because I SWEAR i've seen mario in it, i played the game for the first time this year and i noticed him right and there and i was screaming at my monitor when it happened, i didn't know if i was having deja-vu, mandela effect or whatever, i'm glad you showed HIM in the act after though

Duuude SMS is one of my favorite things/a special interest and I just found your channel! Excellent content!!

I swear I already commented but on my end it's gone so if I end up leaving 2, oh well :) But this video was worth the wait. Well done, amazingly edited, and super informative. It's always gonna be great learning new things about my favorite 3D game. I love the little edits too, they were so well done and not just, needlessly blasting loud memes at me, you're great at finding the balances.

I see sunshine video I watch

Dude I love your channel. It's entirely dedicated to sunshine. Subscribed!!!!

love this video! this is my favorite mario game, and after seeing just how many beta elements are in cutscenes, it makes sense that i grew up to be obsessed with game development. a lot of the stuff i didn't know, so this is great! definitely checking out more from you! (also, a small note about the "brrr" sound mario makes in the demo cutscene when petey pukes on him- mario sometimes makes that sound when he's booted out of a level without getting a shine. imo that makes the sound being there weirder?)

This is an incredibly well-put together video, it definitely deserves more attention!

here before this well made video gets bigger. great editing and info

I wouldn't say the paintbrush having different colours is necessary a plothole it could swap between colours depending on what paint they want out of the goop. Perhaps each area was going to have different colours like airstrip having pink, yellow and orange, delphino plaza having brown, ricco harbour having the greeny black, the electric green goop in sirena beach and the fire goop in pianta village

BAYDUH BAYDUH BAYDUH BAYDUH I'm disappointed I knew all of these. Also, regarding the pianta pipe slab, it was a pineapple situation: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hMunorGYtpPNe2g.html

i would love if you made the video covering all the unused/beta content we know about this game since its always been really fascinating to me. i research beta stuff in games a lot and even i didnt know about erto rock or the scrapped military base stage which just goes to show how poorly this stuff is documented online

15:20 an even earlier design of the island is seen before the closeup shot

During the Grand Pianta Statue cutscene Mario's model in the 3D All-stars version is actually different compared to the 2002 version

I've been waiting for this thank you!

the first thought about the cutscenes made me think of "sonic adventure ahh cutscenes"

Great video! Can't wait until you talk about the changes to the flooded version of Delphino Plaza

11:46 There is also a grammatical error in the Japanese version, "...because *of* all of our guardians have...", which was fixed along with the shrine thing

i appreciate this whole video and the way you used the waterfall for the graph

This was great, would love to see that video about Sunshine's beta

I still love Mario Sunshine in spite some of it's glitchy features and rather cheesy cutscenes. I'm also fascinated by the beta and how the game evolved. Hopefully we'll continue to find more about this game's development as time goes on.

9:24 One thing I always noticed is that Mario appears to have IDENTICAL animations to Petey Piranha in this scene. Look how far Mario's head bends here, and it's at the same timing as Petey. Lovely copied animation I think

Really hoping you get more subs! I love sunshine content like this!

I can’t believe you never noticed that only in the Japanese version of the Delfino’s Airstrip arrival cutscene you can Mario and Toadsworth talking! I saw a Twitter short from Supper Mario Broth where I think he took the video from YT channel “sunn” where he isolated their full Japanese exclusive English conversations!

You bringing up all these errors in just the cutscene somehow makes me miss the GameCube era even more.

I always imagined the text on the posters was just gibberish with a fake currency (110 ka) (Kromer??????????????) Basically saying "wanted, 110 Ka bounty, dangerous" or something along those lines

This video is insane! Super Mario Sunshine was my first ever video game and I’ve played it countless times & have watched too many let’s plays and speedruns over the years, but I’ve never seen about 99% of the oddities covered in this video. Game development is weird.

Amazing video man! In the first two minutes alone I was blown away at how many new things I learned about Sunshine that I've never seen or heard of before. This whole video is really well put together from beginning to end. I hope you get more subscribers and views because you deserve it! Keep up the great work!

There's also a sleeping mario on the pinna park merry go round in the pinna 1 cutscene

This was a super informative but fun video with great editing! I also appreciate you adding the song titles to the video. It's surprising you have less than 1000 subs, but I'm looking forward to seeing the channel grow!

Using the waterfall was really creative. Other KZfaqrs should do that.

Fantastic vid. The amount of effort you must have went through is staggering. Keep it up.

19:17 Are they? Mario's hand is moving in that cutscene

8:27 I mean they did get away with it. I never noticed when playing and most people probably didn't back then. You can't really get away with any tricks like this now in games. due to the technology people have to go into games and do boundary breaking and all that stuff. So I think it went pretty well besides the bits of left over magenta/green screen that are barely noticeable.

Mario Sunshine is my fav game and I love learning more about it. Great stuff!

I think you can see mario during the pinna parc cutscene behind mario, sleeping on the carousel

Amazing video, it was very entertaining and interesting!

This video’s quality blew me away. You did an amazing job!!

Have you noticed the red X in the ending?

Love your editing style!

This video was very cool I need more like this

The removal of the tierlist into something from the game was enough to get a sub out of me.

the editing scratches my brain in just the right way.. this is so satisfying to watch! i clicked on this thru my recommended and after watching i thought this was made by some already established super popular youtuber. this is such a great video and you are DEEPLY underrated!! hope you blow up soon!!!!

7:45 It's footage like this that just makes you think what we could have had, yet it is almost recognizable with what we got. It's as if you had a fever dream that you end up exploring these possibilities, but then you wake up unhappy that it is over with your illness. The Pianta head looks like it has a entrance, but as we know; the unused animation of Mario exiting through the nose where the pear goes. Pinna Park being the hub towards those areas near the end of the game checks out. Mecha Bowser taking place on Warship Island would make more sense. Funny if you would think the Piantas as a militarized nation, with a strong naval force. Both Mario & Bowser Jr. duking it out with Water Rockets & Bullet Bills just blasting everywhere. Weave in the natural disasters & pollution that's suppose to happen; Sunshine would have been a radical game, and only remnants only show up with what we had... What a game.

This video is a must watch for any sunshine lovers

I'm not even very far in but the editing is cracked, great shit lots of sunshine love 💯

You are so dedicated never give up! You WILL make it to 100k. You earned a sub

Your research is impeccable. Awesome video from beginning to end, was really engaged the entire way through

there is seafood. in the harbors final mission, theres a fish market. before that, the harbor and by extention the island is too dirty for real fish so they only have these enemy bloopers which noone wants to eat.

I could watch mario sunshine trivia probably forever. everything about it holds a special place in my mind that I can't properly describe. in 10 years im going to be watching videos going into the style of the texture work, and the color pallet choices, and rock side structures, because there just wont be anything left to talk about lol.

This is such a cool video. This is literally my favorite game, and I didn't know about like 90% of this stuff.

Nice transition in the intro there man!

your content is very underrated, really hoping your channel gets more attention soon!!

27:00 what's funny is that instead of the normal palm trees that are there in the final game, Delfino Plaza in all it's Smash Bros appearances use those annoying palm trees too

amazing video!!!!! this is so entertaining and informative and cool. here i was thinking i knew everything about this game without knowing about the green screen!!! i feel like a poser now haha like i thought i was a total expert on this game 😆

look closer, the texture was always her eyes. the real issue is the UV isnt at the right coordinate for the texture, perhaps its mapped to the light UVs instead of texture UV maps instead. the earing is her blue eye you can barely see it on the bigger one edit: maybe its her neckalce?

This is pretty good dude. I like it a lot

19:17 You can see they are moving , check their hands and legs. So, they are not Images 👀

Man underrated! New Sub

There is an iceberg for anything.

You need to have a stronger “call to action” to subscribe. The fact you have less than 1000 subs is criminal. I have a feeling this video is gonna do very well, you’ll get a lot more subs, but i feel you’re sub conversion rate would be higher if you just pushed that your just a small creator and that subs mean a lot. Other than that congratulations on making a fantastic video. Spectacular.

Supreme editing 🎉

I came back to this video after watching 2CPhoenix's "Breaking Down Delfino Airstrip" video, for some reason, when they're doing the zoom of the airstrip, it's not a 3D model, it's an image, why in the hell would they use an image for it?

hope the algorithm blesses you

9:04 - The clouds are shaped like Yoshis?!?!

32:00 no Mario why 😭

great video, all of it was interesting but the beta map of the island shows this game could’ve been a lot longer

Oh yeah, THIS IS WHAT WE WERE WAITING FOR!!

29:02 You forgor that there also clones of the PROSECUTION LAWYER

The wanted poster stuff is japanese - mikaketara 110ka kōban made = 見かけたら110か 交番まで = if you see [him], [call] 110 or [go to] to the kōban (police box)... 110 is the police emergency number in Japan. Not quite sure I'm parsing the ka right or if it's ka at all, but in general it looks like a generic suspicious individual poster.

This is a well-edited video
