A Super Mario Sunshine Deep Dive

Over the last 8 months I have been steadily chipping away at this project, one location at a time. Now that it's finally complete, I've combined them all into one massive super-compilation. So I hope you enjoy as I spend a whole school day's worth of time teaching literally everything I know about Sunshine.

If you'd rather watch this in bite-sized pieces, you can check out this playlist here:

Below is a list of every song which does not originate from Mario Sunshine used in this video, along with their game or franchise of origin. YouTube's 5,000 character limit on descriptions prevents me from being more precise in their credits, or where in the video they were used, so check the playlist above for more specifics!

Thanks for clicking on a 7 hour video everyone! This video is actually a compilation of 10 smaller videos I made over the course of about 8 months, and as such, there will be many instances in which certain things don’t make sense within the context of being 1 massive presentation. Often times I will say “In this video” while referring merely to the current section of the video, for example. In addition to that, there are unfortunately a few graphical errors stemming from certain assets getting moved around on my computer over the course of the year. I want to use this comment to apologize for these quibbles, small though they may be, and to wish you all a wonderful night’s sleep!

[SuperSavajin]

My favorite sunshine videos now in a 7 hour compilation. Life is good

[justinorbit]

Huge credit to your script writing, I think a lot of people struggle to get a 7 hour deep dive to sound this natural.

[Queen_Coda]

That “tear” at the end isn’t a tear btw, that’s actually a single missing polygon from Bowsers model and the blue in his eye is just the sky behind him. If you look closely you can see the white of the clouds shifting too.

[marketgarden]

Putting this in a massive compilation was a great idea. These are what I watch during my long quiet night shift.

[isymfs]

Thank you for validating a large portion of my childhood. I was born in '98 so Sunshine was my first real dive into Mario♥️

[ellatoles]

This series quickly became a comfort series for me on this platform. I love the calm yet engaging voiceover, and mix of fact and comedy, man I love this series (I’ve seriously watched each video like 30 times over)

[nextgenwarrior]

A 7 hour commentary on my favorite Mario game?

I got time.

[MillieBoBilly]

Me and my child ass took "cross over to that shore and fond some assistance" EXTREMELY LITERALLY in which i tried to swim to the island for help

[jonathanhenderson]

Im going to watch this in anticipation of super Mario eclipse

[Chrsader]

Particular Mushroom would be proud of you.

[adore.laur_]

I watched all the videos individually but now I can watch all of them again at once. Very smart. Also very satisfying that it’s exactly 7:00:00

[mr.seraphom]

i just got done watching a video about unemployment rates in Delfino Plaza, so im definitely gonna watch a 7 hour video about SMS next 😂

[xVocaluka]

legit the best sms analysis i have ever seen, thanks for compiling it all

[ericdoss]

A 7 hour video about my childhood and favorite mario game of all time? Yes please

[aPonderousChain]

The definitive Super Mario Sunshine video on the platform. Thank you, Phoenix

[curelessorc]

I savored this over the course of like two weeks. This was an incredible journey back into a game I loved so much as a kid. And my daughter snuck a few peeks every once in a while, and is demanding to play this game now for the first time. Thank you.

[lonecom]

I loved this series. I still have to watch the last one, but what a good time it was watching the whole thing every other month. I hope you keep doing this with Super Mario 64, Luigi's Mansion and others

[eendsofthearth]

Amazing video, I havent played this game since I was a kid and this really makes me want to give it another go. 7 hours well spent, the depth of knowledge and fun was never boring.

[ProChara]

Really amazing video, this is my favorite 3D mario and it was fun to learn so much more new about it after numerous playthroughs and I'm glad to find someone else who finds that final boss music underrated. 7 hours well spent.
