Simple Sunshine is a mod of Super Mario Sunshine to bring many general improvements to the game.
| Version 1.1 - 1.11GB All cutscenes appear as normal, but are always skippable. |
Version 1.1 - 306MB All cutscenes have been removed to save space. This version includes Quick New Game. |
Changelog:
Features:
- Native 60FPS.
- 16:9 widescreen.
- Quick New Game mod allows Mario to start a new game at the airstrip, with F.L.U.D.D. already in hand. (Only in LITE! version.)
- The “heatwave” distortion effect has been removed.
- The Yoshi seal on the island pipe has been removed.
- F.L.U.D.D.'s tutorial dialogue has been removed.
- The camera in Super Mario Sunshine was originally inverted on the x-axis, with no setting to change it. This mod reverts the inversion.
- Blue coins no longer bring up a tedious save prompt. You can save whenever you want in the pause menu.
- Pausing in mid-air is now allowed.
- Mario took off his hat, put on the vacation shirt, and shades. He's ready to vacation!
- Mario can now be completely covered in icky, paint-like goop.
- There is now a 1 in 8 chance of Mario saying ‘Ciao!’ during the introductory Nintendo screen, instead of the coin sound. Although ultimately useless, this feature was present in the game code, but was non-functional, and has been restored.
How do I play it?
Use Dolphin Emulator to play the game. Do not enable any AR or Gecko codes in Dolphin, everything needed to play this mod is already embedded in the ISO.
If you get an error when opening the game with Dolphin, just click "Ignore for this session", or turn off panic handlers entirely.
Recommended, but optional — you can download this HD texture pack, and place the GMS folder in X:\Documents\Dolphin Emulator\Load\Textures.
Thanks to quinton-ashley for making this lovely pack.

This mod is a combination of assets by other people, made using tools by other people.
Naturally, this would not have been possible without the awesome people in the Super Mario Sunshine modding community. Shoutouts to The Sunshine Hut.
Big thanks to
- gamemasterplc for their 60FPS, remove heatwave, cutscene skip, and mid-air pause codes, as well as their amazing widescreen hack.
- JoshuaMK for all the effort they put in to make GeckoLoader. It saved me a lot of time as opposed to manually editing the .dol using a hex editor. They also created the code to remove F.L.U.D.D.'s dialogue, big ups for that.
- Noki Doki for creating the code to un-revert the camera’s x-axis, as well as the code for removing the blue coin save prompt.
- Yoshi2 for creating the Ciao! code, as well as being a moderator on the Discord.
- Mankalor for their code allowing Mario to be completely covered in goop.
- Augs for their fork of Blastsoft’s Sunshine Bin Editor, and for being a moderator on the Discord.
- Amnoid for their tools for cracking open Sunshine’s archives in the first place.
- The Dolphin Team for creating the best emulator ever made.
- BSV for creating GCRebuilder.
- FIX94 for making the best GameCube ISO compressor in my opinion.
- Marionova for making the code to fix the "falling stars" bug.
- MasterF0x for making the code that allows Mario to wear his vacation outfit.
- Much love goes out to anyone else that I may have forgotten! <3
