The Super Mario Sunshine Iceberg Explained

Hello everyone, and welcome back to another video! Today I will be covering a Super Mario Sunshine iceberg created by reddit user Wilfredcthulu in August of 2020. The iceberg contains 8 different individual tiers, and let's hope that this makes for an interesting video! This video is going to be far shorter than my other ones, and I've been thinking about going back and making addendums to the previous videos (i.e. SM64 etc), and I also have some other plans for videos but I hope people enjoy this one, as I think it was pretty fun to make. Layer transitions might be a bit jank, but I figured that it's good enough and left it as is. Hope you enjoy!

Also the Lost Media series is still alive. There's not a lot of demand for it right now though, and videos like that only do well over time, and when the rest of the parts organically release. So I'm not sure where I'm going with that, but as for the smaller videos, expect more to come as per usual.

    Nice. You could've explained some things more in depth or more accurately but it's a long iceberg I get it. You overall did a pretty alright job. I'll give some clarification on entries now. Some people in the comments elaborated too. Also I'd like to acknowledge some of this were inspired by previous charts: - The shine shirt is added after beating the game - There is that beta ferris wheel and other oddities but also the ferris wheel is red at the start of the ending - I put in lava cheep cheeps because of how out of the way and obscure they are and look like living corpses - For skipping bianco hills 1 you actually don't have to do any tricks you can just beat the goopy piranha, make the bridge spawn, then simply walk past it and go right to 2. It's the only shine you can skip by intentional design - As someone else said there are ceilings you can hang onto indoors like bombomb bridge hanging - Someone else also said during the flood there's certain texture differences, asset changes, and legit beta content around that's not around in normal delfino plaza - Something with the sand bird I'd like to add is how it's this godly, legendary deity... and it's just kinda there then gone lol - The shine you spawn for cleaning the shine gate is just there in the intro for some reason. Surprisingly I've never seen this pointed out anywhere - Using the pinna park cannon refers to using it like the one at delfino plaza - Another commenter talked about the wind sounds but in certain areas (don't know why some do and don't get this) when falling down a bottomless pit you'll be left hearing this loud weird ominous wind gusting sound even after the death jingle has played. It was always super weird and kinda unsettling to me - With coins being used as currency I was actually talking about the yellow ones. In sunshine there is only like two times you do this and I think it's the only time in any Mario game outside the rpgs and spinoffs. Super weird maybe scrapped ideas? - Another iceberg claimed that the paint brush works with stem cells lol - With pianta village oddities I was actually referring to it in the world and not glitches. It's this giant tree above a bottomless black void hole that's just out in the island and not even a secret stage. Its placement in delfino island is pretty unclear and I think you can only see it by boosting above noki bay - Some people have theorized about piantas being evolved Pikmin due to their appearance and them having trees atop their heads while Pikmin have flowers... bruh how have you never even heard of Pikmin before? - The warp zone is referring to the transition cutscene you see when Shadow Mario steals fludd. It's just so weird cause this is the only time you see what it actually looks like in anything when Mario is warping in between levels and it's just kinda there. It's creepy even. It makes me think they wanted to explore it more but just didn't - You got it with corona mountain but also I just got it from another iceberg and liked the idea - Ok so this isn't any of our fault but with the girl I wish I made this iceberg like a year later cause they found unused dialogue that could've come from her. That's huge! - The demon I was referring to was the one in the unused pollution map and the idea of it actually appearing in the level - I did mean that sinking goop, there is videos too of Mario sinking in it and dying. I just had the idea come to me of some innocent kid playing, dreaming of it, landing on goop and Mario suddenly sinks and chokes horribly idk lol.

    Never thought I’d hear Badger explaining Mario Sunshine meta to me
  • @JimMilton-ej6zi
    20:05 in the game there's a lot of weird messages like "make sure to take care of your teeth", and "take care of your pets" with the first happening in the eel teeth cleaning level and the second one in the red chain chomp level. As a kid playing the game the messages felt very out of nowhere tbh
  • @Ziroikabi
    Honestly the most underrated 3D mario game and my favourite growing up as a child. So happy to see you do a video on this! :)
  • @dluxx3719
    31:13 I get exactly what this one means So when you fall off and get a “TOO BAD” sometimes the music will cut off and all you will hear is the wind blowing extra loud I believe it mostly happened when you enter a special stage where you’re in the sky aka sand bird, pachinko, or the green warp pipe areas
  • @hypnivaria
    In reference to [24:08 "Flood Differences"], the map of the flooded plaza has some slight but noticeable differences to the regular plaza! Sadly I don't remember them myself and it's been years since I watched the video that would've mentioned it (Particular Mushroom maybe?), but I'd have to guess that's what they're referring to
  • @joet1736
    Something I discovered today and haven't heard anyone talk about is that the raccoon dad and son that run the blue coin exchange are on the roof of the building during the flood sequence. It's the only time in the game where you can speak to the son, and he seems to have his own unique voice that's not used anywhere else in the game! On a further note, the only other npc in the game of their race is in Noki Bay at the boat place. It leaves a lot of questions as to where they came from and if they are native to any area on Isle Delphino
  • @fletcherthenerd
    So glad I'm not the only one who misses Scykoh's main channel vids 😭
  • @staterbrosmilk
    Pikmin Links is probably referring to "Super Mario 128". It was a gamecube tech demo that showed 128 marios running around interacting. It's said that this concept was later worked into pikmin, where you can have up to 100 individual pikmin in your squad. So though a bit of a stretch (like all great icebergs), you could argue Sunshine and Pikmin are linked by this common thread.
  • @Shojikinaai
    Sunshine was the first game I ever played and I love it to death. I think it's by far the most interesting game to look back on and wonder about it's development and earlier builds, as it's already probably the most unique Mario game to date.
  • @jex9707
    38:28 Pretty sure you take over 1 damage if you touch the flame platforms or the spikes in Corona Mountain. Great video btw!
  • @luquasia_
    Hey blue! In the indoor ceilings entry, the ceiling you snap onto after doing the red electrikoopa glitch is the actual level ceiling! It’s hangable for whatever reason lol
  • @bombkirby
    You've never heard of Pikmin...? I can imagine a non-Nintendo gamer not hearing about it but this is just silly.
  • @SammEater
    I was more of a PS2 guy back then, I finally played Sunshine recently and is definitelly one of my favorite 3d platformers.
  • @ChickenTeller
    It's not so much that Yoshis are endangered. I don't think there actually are any Yoshis on the Island. The Yoshis that you use were actually created by Bowser Jr. That's why the melt away when they fall into the water
  • @newguy371
    I'm pretty sure it's a lot easier to skip the first shine in Bianco Hills. All you do is make the bridge appear and then instead of grabbing the Shine Sprite you ho up the Windmill. There's even a Pianta there that makes a comment about you being there early. I'm pretty sure it's just an Easter egg.
  • @gsus4751
    I believe the only instances of taking more than 1 damage in the game are the spikes and fire from corona mountain
  • @ojman6548
    Good to see Badger from Breaking Bad has a thriving YouTube channel!!
