Super Mario Sunshine Joins Nintendo GameCube Classics on August 13
Nintendo announced on July 31 that Super Mario Sunshine will be added to the Nintendo GameCube Classics lineup on August 13. The game is available to subscribers of the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack service and can be played on Nintendo Switch 2. Originally released for the Nintendo GameCube in 2002, Super Mario Sunshine is a 3D action game in which Mario arrives on Isle Delfino for a vacation but is mistaken for a graffiti culprit. He uses a water-spraying device called FLUDD to clean graffiti, defeat enemies, and fly through the air while searching for the power of the sun, the Shine. The game includes areas such as Bianco Hills and Ricco Harbor, and features stages where FLUDD is sealed away, forcing players to rely on platforming skills. The announcement was made via Nintendo's official social media and covered by multiple outlets. The addition continues the rollout of GameCube titles to the Switch 2's retro library, following the service's launch.
