History Trivia / SuperMarioSunshine

*** With the Switch port, Nintendo is advertising 60FPS, so the game will ''finally'' run at the higher framerate the dev team was originally going for.

** The game, as unveiled, ran at 60FPS, but with significantly lower-detail graphics. The final game runs at 30FPS though the 60 FPS functionality was only DummiedOut; it's possible to raise the framerate cap to 60 FPS with the use of a few simple cheat codes, which is useful for playing the game on emulators.
** Mario was originally going to spread and wash away paint (not like in the final game), but was scrapped due to technical limitations. Nintendo would hang onto this idea and eventually make a new game series based on it--''VideoGame/{{Splatoon}}''--once it became technically feasible.

* ColbertBump: This game introduced many Westerners to durians, though their lack of availability in Western grocery stores (due to their rapid spoiling and their sensitivity to freezing making importing them difficult) means most such players never got their hands on these fruits. Due to the durians' [[StockYuck terrible reputation in its native Asia, however]], perhaps that's for the best.

* NoDubForYou: In the Japanese version, the FullMotionVideo cutscenes are in English with Japanese subtitles. Funny enough, it's a slightly ''different'' audio track from the US version, less polished in places.

* TalkingToHimself: Charles Martinet, as is typical for the series, voices a number of roles besides Mario, including Toadsworth, and the male Piantas.

** The Spaceworld 2001 trailer shows all the Piantas as blue, a human inhabiting Delfino Plaza, enemies walking around the HubLevel, a slimmer F.L.U.D.D., a completely different water supply counter, a monster named Hinokuri (while DummiedOut, he can still be found in the test level accessible by hacking), and Sol Coins that were originally intended as currency for...
** A scrapped train system. A text file left over in the Japanese version of the game called "station.bmg" contains dialogue trees for a train transportation system. Mario would buy tickets using Sol Coins and the train would take him to any of the levels or areas on the island. The train system's list of locations, as well as an old level list, both contain the following unused locations:

** There are dummied out textures of Ricco Harbor still in the game, including the unused blooper designs.

*** Gooper Blooper in the trailer is more black-blue.

** In the files for the Japanese version of the game, [[https://tcrf.net/Super_Mario_Sunshine/Unused_Text#dolpic1.bmg this document]] can be found which includes dialogue for a number of unused scenarios. Notable is some dialogue from a "Mayor" (no such character exists in the final game) who treats Mario with considerably more respect than any authority figures do in the final, and implies that originally, the goal of the game would have been to help improve Delfino Plaza's tourism rating rather than to clear Mario's name.

** The Spaceworld 2001 trailer showed at least one human inhabiting the area in addition to Piantas.

** In "Red Coins in a Bottle", there is a book inside the bottle, but it is blocked by a door that Mario can't open (it's possible to hack the game so Mario can get past the door, but nothing will happen when he touches the book). Considering the song for this mission is called "Book in the Bottle", it's likely that the original objective was to retrieve a book.

** For the level that became "Red Coins in a Bottle", the original objective was to retrieve a book. There is a book inside the bottle, but it is blocked by a door that Mario can't open (it's possible to hack the game so Mario can get past the door, but nothing will happen when he touches the book). As a possible reference to the original task, the song for this level is called "Book in the Bottle".

** F.L.U.D.D was originally a real water gun, and was not even considered at one point. Instead, they would have a man spray water for him. Likewise, there would be real people in Isle Delfino (The Spaceworld 2001 trailer still shows humans).

** The Spaceworld 2001 trailer shows all the Pinatas as blue, enemies walking around the hubworld, a completely different water supply counter, a monster named Stu (While DummiedOut, he can still be found in the test level accessible by hacking), and Sol Coins that were presumably used to access the levels. They could also access certain levels, like:

*** F.L.U.D.D was originally much more slimmer as well.
