Well, with all the new screenshots, commercials and all other media. I thought it was time to organize a what we know about Super Mario Sunshine so far thread:

-In place of the stars, Mario will now collect "Shines"

-There are atleast 94 Shines in the game (with the rumor being about 128 divided among 13 levels)

-The game will mainly take place on an island named Dolphin Park.

-The main nemesis seems to be an evil clone of Mario. It appears that he is made out of water.He weilds a paintbrush most of the time, but we have seen him with a sword.

-Mario has a all new water pack on his back. the pack seems to be multifunction as it can
*Shoot water*
*Act as a little rocket pack
*Act like a rocket that propels Mario straight
*Can be used as a sort of jet rocket that allows Mario to hover slightly over the ground or water.
*A weapon to fight enemies
*A fuel of sorts for some transportation

-Princess Peach, Yoshi and the Toads make re-appearances in the game.

-Peach's butler and thew islanders make their first appearance in the game

-Thus far, only a robotic type version of Bowser has been seen in the game.

-A scene is shown where the evil Mario steals the waterpack from Mario. Some screens released today show that Mario will have to go through parts of the game packless.

-Mario is out to clear his good name after being framed for painting up the town.
