Of course there is all the jump and run action you'd expect from a Mario game and FLUDD just makes it more outrageous! The play control is very tight and you'll find that before you know it you'll be performing the various moves with ease. He can change nozzles too! There is the hover nozzle, the turbo nozzle and even a rocket nozzle! The way Nintendo implemented the sprayer is total genius-you can do giant rotating jumps while spraying and Mario becomes a human sprinkler as water flies around to the left and right. Mario is equipped with a back pack sprayer called FLUDD (Flash Liquidizer Ultra-Dousing Device) and with it he can spray away the goop covering the island. Not only is the island a mess but Mario is being blamed for it! He's thrown into prison and the court decides that if he wants to leave the island he must first clean it up! The rest of the story unfolds as you play, which is something that never happens in a Mario game! Nintendo has another hit on their hands.įinally it's time for a well-deserved vacation for Mario and the mushroom kingdoms' beautiful princess, Peach! But alas! When Mario and his pals arrive on Isle Delfino they are surprised to see it covered in a goopy paint-like substance. Did Mario live up to his name for this game? Certainly. There were resounding cries of joy when the public heard that Nintendo would be releasing their next big Mario title for the Gamecube.

The Mario series has been known for being seriously fun and one wonders how long Nintendo can keep this up. ' Super Mario 64' was a breakthrough game on the N64 and it stayed at the top of the heap even after classics such as “ Banjo-kazooie” (and the sequel) and “ Rayman 2: The Great Escape” were released.
