Super Mario Eclipse is an extensive and perhaps the most ambitious mod for Super Mario Sunshine yet. After close to 5 years in development, v1.0 of the mod is now available via GameBanana.

The mod offers a new "open-world" gameplay style alongside 120 new Shine challenges, 3 new playable characters, gameplay mechanics and more. New animated cutscenes and a completely original OST are also part of Super Mario Eclipse.

Likely to be one of the most ambitious Mario fan projects of all time, a journey of pure wonder awaits. 120 returning shines from the game you know and love have been altered for a unique open-world play experience, with enhanced story elements that keep you engaged along the way!

- 120 brand new shines
- 3 playable characters

I have been looking forward to seeing this masterpiece and i am glad that I am finally able to have access to playing this.

...and i have never even finished Super Maruo Sunshine. I'll put this on my Backloggd in the meantime because I'd want to finish what the original had, to then play something that's made even better out of it.

Why is this thread labeled as homebrew when the subject is actually just a ROM hack?

I've never once played Sunshine; I've always been put off by some of the...stupider and more frustrating missions. The pachinko-board one, the red-coin one with lilypads on toxic water, the King Boo boss fight, the nonsensical locations of all the blue coins, etc.

So I'm not really interested in this ROM hack, really. I'd much rather play 64 DS, since that's an amazing game on the Wii U VC.

Dang, this looks pretty sweet.

If it were Nintendo they'd call it a new game and charge full MSRP (ngl Zelda TotK feels like BotW2 to me).

yeah this was when nintendo were still hardcore and made their mario levels hard until they dumbed them down for the casuals later on during the wiiu era

It’s funny because all of these ones people constantly criticize I found absolutely fun as a kid, the pachinko one especially, haha. I have not replayed the game in some time, who knows if I will like the levels anymore, but I always enjoyed those personally.

I never played the original, so not sure if I should start with it

 

[Ampersound]

I've been looking forward to this since the start of this year.
Hopefully the ingames 'custom music' is better compared to the trailers.
Generally I prefer reusing a great original soundtrack over creating a new mediocre one.

Gameplay looks fun, I am glad that I got a Wii RGB-Scart cable for marginally better colors ;D

Fantastic work team

Let me see if I can get this running the coming weekends

So is it supposed to throw me into the normal sunshine levels at first? I'm a bit confused because it starts with the tutorial levels, before going to n64 peach castle, and then on to the normal sunshine beginning (airport, isle delfino, and bianco hills, have yet to go any further than that) albeit with compressed video for cutscenes. Is that supposed to be the way this goes?
