It's very frustrating when a stores tells people it's going to have a game in by a certain date usually the release date or day after and then when that time comes, they end up selling it 2 or 3 days later. :mad:

Isn't the 26 the ship date? Not sure.

Best to buy it from some shady looking guy in a dark alley. Comes with free pr0n and a box of cracker jacks 75% of the time.

Aug. 26th is the shipping date, not the release date. Most stores won't have it available until the 28th.

I'm getting mine tommorw in the morning at Software ETC.

Actually, they just called me to let me know they have my copy in. But it's kind of late here, and there is a Green Bay Packers game going on right now. So I'm getting it early tommorw morning.

Well, I checked out my not-so local EB today and there was no sale. Just promotional ads. I suppose its a location thing. But I did get to play about 5 seconds of SMS, and I swear to God, I was in heaven. <<< Thats an odd statement.

I guess I'm one of the first few people on GT with the USA version. Thus far, I'm only 3 Shines in but it seems to be a cool game nonetheless.

Going to play now...

hmmm...I think I will tell my brother that wal-mart should have the game in, then he will beg mom to take him to get the game, and I can just sit on my butt eating cheesy poofs all night until they bring back the game, which I will then snatch from my bro, and begin to play. That is, if they actually have the game...

Im 12 shine's in, and I just got to the fourth level...Pina Park...this one looks GREAT, and I cant wait to back and get all the shine's I missed in the previous levels(a lot) And I love the old school levels without your backpack. I also love the intnese 3d platforming in teh second level, good stuff. This game is great.

DarkMaster

08-29-2002, 07:06 PM

i'm at 50 shines now and i've been to every level (and quite a few bonus levels too). **Possible Spoilers** I think Niko Bay (formally known as Mare Bay in the jap version) is probly the coolest. its so huge and amazing, its like an enormous green cliff towering over purple-neon-ish glowing water with 3 huge green spiraling towers right in the middle. unbelieveable. sirena beach is awesome too, a sunset beach with a boo hotel, which is friggin sweet. and pianta village (formally known as monte village in jap version) is amazing. a huge grass jungle village sits high atop 3 gigantic palm trees with hot lava sludge pouring here and there. underneath the village is a scaling mesh of vine nets with fungus and mushrooms sprouting out of the trees. all happening in the middle of the night under a pearl full moon glow. dat sh*t be kickin!! it gets a lot harder later on so prepare thyself!

As Penguin knows I hated the game at first and enjoyed making fun of it. Then I saw the E3 demo and thought it looked very fun. Now I'm getting sick of the shine madness. I've seen too much already and I hadn't even had a second with it. That and Gadd Industries still hasn't fixed my FLUDD I sent in over a year ago.

I had the game for about 2 days now, and haven't really touched it.

I played it on only two occasions since I got it. Test play rather.

I think I'm going to have tons of fun with this game. It's not that I lost excitement for it, I think I've managed to control my excitement. I remember one time I would rush home and literally rip the game box apart and load X, Y or Z game as quickly as I could.

Now, I just realize that the games I buy will always be here for my entertainment, and I can play them when ever I want, no need to rush unless I'm bored out the ass . So in the mean while, I did other stuff.

Man, when I finally play SMS(I might need an extra memory card)it'll make up for the times I didn't.

I'm gonna fuk Mario's little plumber boy a$$ up soon. You wait and see!:D

lol, that sounds extremely gay, but who cares, you guys know what I mean.

well, you do... right?......... right? :unsure:

I've only gotten to play the game for about 1.5 hours so far, and have gotten 4 shines.
It's an awesome game, but I'm not very good at it yet.

For instance, I couldn't beat that cave in the 1st level, in which you have to press the switch, and collect the 8 red coins inside. It's freaking hard.

BTW, I have a question: As soon as I get 10 blue coins, should I go to the boathouse right away to buy the Shine?

Because I got 10 and went to buy it, and he asked me 'am I sure I wanna buy it' 2 or 3 times, sort of leading me to believe that I should save up the blue coins.

Any reason for this, or should I just trade them in fore the shine every time I get 10?

as far as i know saving blue coins wont do anything in particular. there is sorta one advantage to saving them, cuz say if you save them and trade 30 or wutever at one time you'll get 3 shines right there which is faster than going there over and over everytime you get 10 blue coins. its a good question though, i dont know why the guy asks "are you sure" because there really isnt any significance to the blue coins other than trading them for shines. maybe someone else knows.

Well, if you want to get 120 shines you have to find all the blue coins and trade them in for Shines. But if you don't want to get 120 shines I guess you don't have to trade them in. You might want to just keep them and not trade them in so you know how many you have collected.

It makes no difference if you get 10 blue coins and turn it in for a shine or get all 240 and turn them in at once. Only difference is the amount of times you get to see "Shine Get!" but that doesn't apply to you guys :p

Blockbuster still hasn't got it in yet. I went there 3 times today and called once in addition to that.

On my second trip there I passed a girl who on her cell phone said "You there Mario?". (I swear that actually happened.) Taking this as a sign I rushed the rest of the way shoving a group of kids who I thought would steal my copy of sunshine. There was no Mario and the kids went to the Xbox section.

Helpful hint.

go out and climb to the top of that grid thing above the swinging boats. and just hover across, between the fariswheel bars and vwala. your on the top. (quite easy going thro the bars of the fairis wheel)

i did this first, thinking it was the Correct way. then i peeked down behind the tower from above and was like.... DAMN, thank god i didnt have to get up here that way.

I can't remember exactly because I've been past that part for awhile, but I think you have to wait for him to start shooting the "mud" stuff while in the air. While he's doing that, I think you're supposed to shoot water up into his mouth and eventually he will fall to the ground, then just do the regular thing like before by butt stomping his belly button.
I don't know if this is the way, but I think its either close or correct.

Shoot him down with those little fishlike guys that attach to your nozzle. Then, where he lands squirt water into his mouth and butt stomp him. Repeat this process three times and you have won.

It's a little hard at first I must say though, gets frustrating.

The mission on the roller coaster is impossible!! There's too many bullet Bills! I can't move back and forth hitting as well as the giant Bowser. Anyone have any strategy for beating that mission? The dirty lake mission is also kind of hard. I have trouble getting from one leaf to another before they disenagrate and if you fall in the muck it's kinda of hard to get back on th leaf and your life just gets wiped. Oh well, gotta keep practicing.

Ok, the town you start off in has a tower and at the top of the tower is a revolving star that's dirty. Also up there is a weird red pipe. Somewhere off a little ways is another red pipe on top of a building except that it has a giant pineapple in it. What gives? How do I get to that red pipe and the shine for cleaning off the revolving star in the tower?

gekko

09-06-2002, 11:10 PM

1, you need the red nozzle. 2, you need Yoshi.

Yoshi eats the pineapple.

You need the rocket booster thing to clean the giant Shine.

GameMaster

09-07-2002, 11:22 PM

Actually I can clean the revolving shine without the rocket booster but getting the shine you need the rocket because it's high up in the sky.

Another question: What's the secret of the dirty lake? What do I do?

Im prolly really slow but like 3 days ago i figured out a really fast way to clean a big area...
You know how you do the back flip and a big splash of water comes out? well if you do that really really fast you can clean huge areas really quick.. like that level where you gotta clean the goop in like 3 min.. i do that wit like 2 min remaining.. and i could prolly do it eaven faster than that...

Just so you know.. but it eats water faster than the turbo nozzle :unsure:

Well here's why I posted I have 53 shines on my third day playing it how am I doing?

I forgot one more thing does anyone else get pissed off at camera angles and the fact that mario has to clean this crap up is pretty gay..... i liked it better when he jumped on people.

Ok. Got to the right side and walk from there over to the left side. Once there pound on one (I think the middle)of the underground gates. Once in there get on the moving grate , Punch it and go threw the gate right above it(once you have stopped moving that is). Then go to the bridge. Then you can try getting on the mushroom(via side jump) and jumping(I think spin jump might work)to the big structure or you can try to wall jump(into spin jump) on the side of the structure that the mushroom(I did it once bymistake)is on then land on that big structure with the golden mushroom on top. The jetpack should be up there somewhere.

Hope it helps!
