Summary
Super Mario Sunshine is now playable on Switch 2 through the Nintendo Classics GameCube app, adding the 2002 platformer to Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack.
10 GameCube titles are now available on the service after Sunshine’s arrival, with Pokémon Colosseum already announced but still lacking a release date.
92 is Sunshine’s Metacritic score, though the game remains one of Mario’s more divisive 3D entries because of criticism of its camera, F.L.U.D.D. mechanics and some level design.
2020’s Super Mario 3D All-Stars had offered an HD Sunshine port before Nintendo delisted the compilation seven months later, making the subscription service the cheapest current option for Switch 2 owners.
$49.99 a year buys the Expansion Pack tier required for GameCube games on Switch 2, alongside Nintendo 64, Game Boy Advance and Sega Genesis titles.
