“Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in.”
Next month, on August 13, 2026, a new update for the Nintendo GameCube – Nintendo Classics application will finally add Super Mario Sunshine. For a quick reminder of what the game entails, here is the game’s official NSO description and associated trailer:
Super Mario Sunshine (Nintendo)
Released in: 2002
Number of Players: 1
Dark days on Isle Deltino!
Mario, Peach, and an entourage of Toads have come to Isle Delfino-a sun-drenched island resort-to relax and unwind. At least, that’s the plan. But when they arrive, someone has made a mess of the whole island and the inhabitants say Mario is to blame! The falsely accused Mario has promised to clean up the island (and his reputation) and pursue the real culprit along the way as he recovers the vanished energy source of the island, Shine Sprites. Use the trusty FLUDD on Mario’s back to tidy up and launch into water-based action, from spraying enemies to flying through the air with powerful streams of water.
