Although I have found it to be pretty easy overall, I still found the non-backpack bits to be very challenging and great fun. I hope there are lots more of them

/me rants "stupid three video stores and their rented out mario games"
For such a crappy game this mario sunshine is sure being bought and rented at a high rate, fuel went to three sepereate vid stores to rent a copy but all copys were out
Oh and as he said, we didn't use a playguide (only once to find the new level), we just played non stop for quite a few hours

Even assuming 10 hours... 45 / 10 = 4.5 Shines per hour... that's one (and sometimes more than one) virtually every 15 minutes for 10 full hours. Which is with no `messing around` / doing things aimlessly / simply having fun throwing Mario around the areas taken into account. That is kind of creepy considering the sheer time "The Manta Storm" alone can take... must've been blue-coin`ing it rather a lot surely? I really am slightly surprised that's physically possible in the game.
Then again, rounding that out to 40 Shines, thats only around one third of them gotten, making 30 or so hours which is a good length for any game really.
Edit: Just reread this and really liked the sound of "Shines-per-hour". Call it a speed of play rating method... come on, say it... "Shines-per-hour!" Doesn't it sound nice?

Bah, in my day people were such hardcore gamers their KIDS were born with RSI. And not just yer fancy `modern` RSI either! We're talkin` cripplin pain here sonny! Daley Thompsons Decathlon... now that were a real mans game! You youngsters have it so good with yer "Nintender GameBoxes" and yer "Gameboy Advanceds". XBoxes, now thats a real mens console that is son. Break yer arms just tryin to lift the bugger you would!

What we did was get every shine on all the levels (but only one 100 coin shine) up to Sirena Beach (cause we couldn't find the entrance
. And we got maybe three blue coin shines. So there are four levels, say 9 shines in each plus the three blues. and then the rest came from some of the shines in the Plaza. In terms of Stalkid's shines per hour, we must have gone pretty good but we did rack up a few hours of gameplay (which was mixed with the watching of various buffy episodes)
my opinion on the subject
Mario Sunshine is awsome and fun as hell to play.
it really takes a grown adult to enjoy its quality.
as most young little teenies seem to get thrown off by the childish look of the game (its not their fault, its just that their to cool to play this game).
they will mature soon enough tho.

Now really, if the games were developed for all ages, then why did shigeru miyamoto add a watergun? and make zelda cel-shaded? I've always wondered...
