I loved Sunshine, both back on GameCube and replaying it in the Mario 3D collection. But man, oh man, those trials without the water pack were sometimes a special sort of misery.
SNES controller is unqualifiedly good. I basically only turn on my Switch to play games that can be played with that controller.
Super Mario Sunshine is such a weird gaming experience. I don't love it, it's one of my least favorite 3D Mario games, but it's also really playable? Even with all its flaws? Its a strange experience and I think you capture that well here.
I had to review it really negatively because it's just not a very good game in my opinion... but I don't despise actually playing it. I completely agree. It's not even in a so bad it's good kind of way either, the charming music and summer aesthetic put a smile on your face even when you get the urge to hurl your controller.
