Overview
The 24th anniversary of Super Mario Sunshine hit on July 19, and the Switch 2 crowd hasn't shut up about it since. Scrolling through social media, you'll see the same question repeated: "Any news on a Sunshine remaster?" The answer is still no, but that hasn't stopped fans from dissecting every Nintendo Direct frame, every tweet, and every random paint can that pops up in the background. The #SuperMarioSunshineRemastered hashtag trended on X for a full day after the anniversary, and it's still going strong.
Super Mario Sunshine is already available to play through Nintendo Switch Online's GameCube library, but that's not enough. People want a full remaster - 4K, 60fps, maybe some new mechanics. The demand is loud enough that it's hard to ignore, and it's only getting louder. Even Mario Day on March 10 came and went without a single peep from Nintendo about Sunshine, which only fuels the speculation for an eventual reveal.
While the rumors keep turning, you can still show off your Mario pride. The official Mario store is stocked with gear that leans into that retro, island-in-the-sun vibe. From simple tees to hoodies for those breezy nights on the plaza, these picks will keep you connected to the game that's living in your head rent-free.
