Gaming News “So Much Talent” Modders Take Over This Mario Video Game and It’s a Revolution: Plus, there’s a release date for this mod!
It’s been more than six years since Mario last released a new 3D platformer. To make up for this painful absence, some have decided to modify Super Mario Sunshine. Enough to make it Super Mario Sunshine 2 in their opinion.
Super Mario multiplies releases
In 2023, Mario had a successful year. Probably the most famous plumber in history showed his diverse talent. In April he starred in Super Mario Bros. The Movie : a feature film that is a hit and manages to become the cinematic adaptation of a video game the most lucrative film at the global box office
In fact, Super Mario Bros. Wonder seduces the press (including the preparation of a JV) and the public a new edition of the 2D platform game. It also won Best Family Game at the Game Awards in December. Super Mario RPG Remake will also allow many fans to discover one of the most iconic role-playing games in the genre by exporting it (remastered) in Europe for the first time. 2024 should not be overlooked in such an initiative, with Mario VS Donkey Kong and Paper Mario: The Millennium Door already planned for next year.
Super Mario Eclipse, “what Super Mario Sunshine should have been”
Many video game genres are therefore represented by current or upcoming releases of Mario titles. But one of the most popular is missing: that of the three-dimensional platform game. A lot of time has passed since Super Mario Odyssey was released on Nintendo Switch in 2017. Some have chosen to get their hands dirty instead of being patient. This is the case with the “Eclipse Team”, which has been developing a large-scale mod for Super Mario Sunshine for four years. This project, initially called Super Mario Sunburn, has been titled Super Mario Eclipse since 2022. It is intended to offer what “Super Mario Sunshine should have been in 2022,” according to those responsible. Something to remind us of that The GameCube’s Super Mario 3D is one of the most underappreciated
An ambitious project…close to completion. In a recently released video, the Eclipse team highlights the various additions to Super Mario Eclipse: 240 suns to collect, new environments (often inspired by other three-dimensional episodes), three playable characters (Mario, Luigi, Il Piantissimo)
The amount of talent in the Mario community never ceases to amaze me
There is so much talent. I wonder what Mario fans’ game plans will look like in 10 years.
There is no doubt that some of them will try version 2.0 of the demo, available on the team’s website. Before testing the final version of the game, scheduled for June 30th.
