Video game:Nintendo GameCube Super Mario Sunshine

Mario is the most popular video game franchise of all time, selling over 260 million games worldwide. The character Mario appears in over 200 games on every Nintendo console ever made, and in the 1990s, a survey discovered more children recognized Mario than Mickey Mouse. While the Mario series mainly features platform adventures, often involving the safe rescue of Princess Peach, it also includes role-playing, puzzle, racing, and educational games. The franchise further includes television shows, a live-action movie, comics, and promotional materials. Created by Shigeru Miyamoto in 1981, Mario first appeared as the protagonist Jumpman in Donkey Kong. As his name suggests, the character completed levels by jumping over barrels and climbing ladders to rescue the Lady kidnapped by Donkey Kong. In certain advertisements, Jumpman was named Mario, after the landlord of Nintendo of America's offices, and the name stuck. In 1985, Miyamoto produced the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) game Super Mario Bros. The game takes place in the mythical Mushroom kingdom and stars Mario as he attempts to save Princess Peach from an antagonistic, anthropomorphized turtle named Bowser. Similar gameplay, reoccurring characters and power-ups link the games of the main Mario series. In almost all cases, the goal is to navigate the titular character through various levels or worlds, each of which concludes with a castle or dungeon and a boss fight. In 2002, Nintendo released Super Mario Sunshine for the GameCube. This entry was the second three-dimensional platform-based Mario game, following in the footsteps of Super Mario 64. Platforming games are known for enabling characters to jump to and from platforms in order to finish a level or complete an objective. Super Mario Sunshine places the protagonist on the tropical Isle Delfino as he endeavors to enjoy a vacation with Princess Peach. Instead, Peach is kidnapped and Mario must traverse the scenic island in order to save her. The game is significant for introducing F.L.U.D.D. (Flash Liquidizer Ultra Dousing Device), an anthropomorphic water cannon, and Bowser Jr., Bowser's son. Mario and F.L.U.D.D. must journey through Isle Delfino to save the princess from Bowser's machinations.
