Quote:

Conker3000: How big are the worlds compared to Mario 64?

My friend: The island is about 3 times bigger than Mario 64
-----------------------------------

Conker3000: Question 2: Have you found the game easier or harder than Mario 64 so far?

My friend: If you'd remember the first few levels of Mario 64 they were pretty easy.Mario Sunshine offers more difficulty.
------------------------------------------

Conker3000: Can you give an example of how it is difficult?

My friend:Yes.In Mario 64 there are various missions in the levels to collect more stars. In Super Mario Sunshine, its just one big world on an island with all the mission objectives happening at the same time.

-------------------------------------------

Conker3000: How long have you been playing so far?

My friend: Well I've been playig for about 7 hours straight and I've only completed a small portion,and Im pretty darn good.

------------------------------------------

Conker3000: Have you seen Yoshi yet?

My friend: I've seen a red Yoshi egg. I'm presuming its a red Yoshi but I can't get Yoshi to come out I guess I skipped something

-------------------------------------------

Conker3000: Is this a type of game you can just jump into and play like Mario 64? Or does it take some dedication?

My friend: If you're used to Mario 64 you can jump into this easily, with the exception of the Cube controller's layout and the new functions.

-------------------------------------------

Conker3000: Does the import version have options for english?

My friend: No, it does not.

------------------------------------------
Conker3000: Do you start off with the water backpack thing and can you take it off? --- lol sorry to make it one big question.

My friend: No Dr. E. Gadd makes an appearance and gives Mario his water pack.

------------------------------------------

Conker3000: Visually, how is this game. Is it better than the movies put on the internet?

My friend: I haven't checked the movies for the sake of surprise but I did check out the pictures. Never just a game by movies. To stay on topic, yes, the game does look better than the pictures show.

---------------------------------------------

Conker3000: And does this game support Dolby Pro Logic II Surround Sound?

My friend:It doesn't show it has dolby but it sure sounds like it (I skipped the title screen)

----------------------------------------

Conker3000: How are load times?

My friend: It feels like one second.
You don't feel them. Kinda like Luigi's Mansion.

--------------------------------------

Conker3000: How does the game save?

Friend: Auto-save
------------------------------------

Conker3000: Who is the first boss?

My friend:Giant yellow catapillar. Yea,have you seen a caterpillar wearing a hat? (don't answer that)
------------------------------------

Conker3000: Can you do melee combat like punching and kicking?

My friend: No, you can't unfortunatly.

-------------------------------------

Conker3000: When does it save the game? When you get a shine?

My friend: When you quit the game, it saves.
Either you press start and go to quit. Just make sure you turn off the power at least 2-3 seconds after you quit just to be on safe side.
------------------------------------

Conker3000: Is there a mini game at the beginning of Mario Sunshine or the ability to stretch Mario's face in the beginning?

My friend: Nope.

---------------------------------

Conker: See any Goombas or koopas so far?

My friend:I have only seen Goombas on one "part" of the Island "so far" and that part alone. Haven't seen any koopas yet.
