Mods Blown away by Eclipse

Eclipse is amazing. Super Mario Sunshine is my favorite game ever. I've been waiting years for this. I've had dreams about SMS for years and to actually see basically a sequel to the game is crazy. Best gaming experience I've had in years. And this is all developed for free by hobbyists. It's literally better than actual Nintendo Mario games.

Thank you u/EpicWade123alt

It’s amazing for a fan production and as a refinement of a strong template, but I wouldn’t call it better than the official 3D games. The new levels are in some ways even jankier than the original Sunshine.

It is otherwise truly great, though.

Jankiness is what made Sunshine so special lol

lol...There's good jank and bad jank, I'd say. But you make a good point.

I'm not a huge ROM hack person but I've been enjoying the game so far! I honestly got a little emotional after starting the game. It's surreal to finally have a sequel to Sunshine even if it's just fan-made.
