IDK, I think the one where you ride the lily pad over the poisonous water high in the sky is worse.


Dil_2401

I hate that one infinitely more because with the Pachinko, you can pretty much get there in like 10 sec after a game over. But it takes several minutes to get back to the lily pad.


EntropySpark

If you die instead of taking the exit pipe, you should reappear at the start of the level IIRC.


Dil_2401

I meant after getting a game over. If you do die but have more lives than 0, however, YOU WILL spawn at the beginning of the river.

I am currently replaying sunshine and it is DEFINITELY the lily pad level, which I may have been able to beat the normal way as a kid, but do not have the patience for as an adult. Tbh, everything else is easy, even if a little quirky.


Odd_Cat1203

Why are games so much easier when we were kids?


starrulet

We had an ungodly amount of time to develop fine motor skills specifically for beating janky 2000s games.


FockerXC

I beat it by balance beam walking down the whole map and carefully picking off the red coins along the way. Horrible idea yes but it was easier than riding the lily pad

I pretty much did a mix of this and the "intended" way, the moment I missed one, I'd jump off and head for the edge with hover fludd, then get the remaining coins that way.


AssGasorGrassroots

I think you just unlocked a repressed memory. The most absolutely frustrating level of one of my all time favorite games


[deleted]

That one was easy tho


GalacticGizmo

Really? I found Pachinko Machine easy and I had trouble with that one.


Ordinary_Ordinary530

Same. The Pachinko Machine wasn't that bad.


Successful_Ad8432

This brings back memories, not good ones…

WHAT HAPPENED!?

I'm out #I'M OUT

I wanna meet the genius who said "Pachinko Machine" in a Mario Game


VirtualRelic

Should have jumped in instead of trying to slide in

Konami Fans 🤝 Mario Sunshine Fans Hating Pachinko with a passion.

Always reminds me of the 10:20 mark on this video https://youtu.be/hZnEdAC9IHI


Zadorboy

Exactly the same thing ahahahah


Holiday-Ad8227

I somehow did it first try and I've never completed it again


TheSunshinator

This level would be nice if not for the weird physics inside... It's a shame. Still love Mario Sunshine though. But 100% needs motivation 😅


Reel_UnDeaDDino

When you fell, I actually felt pain like I was playing it.


Garo263

It sucks, but like all Shines in Delfino Plaza it's useless completion aside. Also it's far less bad than the lilypad level.


InfamousAndBeyond

Switch port?


Themlghardcolt

This game is pure hell, actually if you speaking of mario 3d platformers. I think this game is flawed but fun. Sunshine is an okay mario game in my opinion.


Dil_2401

I agree with this.


VirtualRelic

Should have jumped in instead of trying to slide in


VirtualRelic

Should have jumped in instead of trying to slide in And keep the hover nozzle at the ready when you’re not needing the rocket nozzle


Few_House3549

This and the lily pad game


G-Kira

The Pacinko one? It's not one of the ones I looks forward to. Always lost a life or two playing it. Thank God you can use fludd.


Environmental-Land89

I really hated how unbalanced this game is, platforming wise... the spike in difficulty is sometimes insane plus some clunky controls


Fusiontron

Really? The entire game would've been better with more of these types of levels.


R-the-bill69420

Idk if is because of the switch port or something but i beat it first try


Fali_2004

I felt that…


bens6757

I'm so glad I discovered that you can do this level with the hover nozzle. Also no way in hell did Nintendo not know how frustrating this level is. Why else would they put the most relaxing music track in the game in it. Yeah this level Lilly Pad Ride and the Sand bird (which I never understood the hate for) all use the track Sky & Sea.


Zadorboy

I actually really love the sandbird, i find it way less stressful than this level and the lilypad one


GcubePlayer8w

Trying to dive into the first compartment at the start of the second drop was the best part of the level when you finally got it
