Funny / Super Mario Sunshine

Who knew Mario liked seafood that much?

• Super Mario Sunshine's opening has Mario fantasizing about all the delicious seafood that Isle Delfino has to offer, complete with his eyes turning into hearts. Said glorious moment is pictured to the right (or to the above, if you're on a mobile device).
  Announcer: Come enjoy a natural wonderland, to which we've added the world's finest resort facilities, a spectacular amusement park, and... succulent seafood!
  Mario: (goes into a trance with heart-shaped eyes) Oooooh~!
  • When they land at Delfino Airstrip, the sudden stop makes him, Peach, and Toadsworth fall out of their seats... and Mario is still daydreaming and blissfully unaware!
  • Earlier, Peach sees Shadow Mario in the Island's introductory video and pauses it, asking Toadsworth if he saw him as well. As it turns out, he's daydreaming as well about snoozing under a palm tree and riding the Pinna Park roller coaster, causing her to sigh defeatedly.
• Spraying any of the NPC characters with F.L.U.D.D.'s water cannon. They'll yell something like "NOOOOOO!!!" and a string of random angry gibberish, and the same goes for if you jump on them. Except for the Nokis, the Sunflowers and Peach; the Nokis just retreat into their shells, and the small sunflowers mumble gibberish that sounds like "Oh, I'm loving it!". Peach just blocks the spray with her umbrella, and the biggest sunflower giggles an adorable sound like "lo-wanny-hee-hee-hah!".
  • Especially funny if you're getting tired of the Piantas' douchey behavior and want to give them a taste of their own medicine. Don't worry; you won't get re-arrested.
• Talk to Toadsworth. Sometimes he'll just scream what can only be described as "YADDABLABLABLABLA!". He also makes this sound when you spray him (after he spins around and almost loses his balance). He actually remembers this gibberish in Mario Party 7.
• In the Super Mario 3D All Stars port, instead of getting F.L.U.D.D.'s voice actor to say the new controls — due to Kit Harris having retired from voiceovers by this point — they just mute specific buttons altogether, resulting in F.L.U.D.D. telling the player to "use the button" for various actions.
• The boss fight music tracks make use of rather whimsical instruments that either intentionally make a farce out of the battle or simply grate on your eardrums.
  • There's two boss themes, aside from the remix of the second used for Phantamanta and the theme for the final boss fight against Bowser.
• Peach's reaction to Bowser Jr. claiming that she's his mother. Her line delivery is just vague enough that you can take it as her either struggling to process such a bizarre declaration or, more hilariously, legitimately entertaining the thought and trying to remember if she did give birth to a spikey turtle-dragon at some point.
• The game's North American commercial. It's so hilarious and cheesy to watch, even giving the game a dumb theme song.
• When you talk to the hotel manager in episode 5 of Sirena Beach, he explains the problem, and then asks if he can "trick you - I mean let you in".
• When you beat Eely-Mouth in Noki Bay, F.L.U.D.D. makes this statement:
  F.L.U.D.D.: Remember to take proper care of your teeth!
• Petey Piranha is the first boss in Bianco Hills, and upon Mario's arrival at the top of the windmill, Petey lets out an ear-piercing screech, only for the roof below him to crack. Mario and Petey make the exact same movements as they look around for the source of the noise the first time, then slowly up at each other the second time once they glance down and see the cracks. You can practically see the mutual Oh, Crap! look on both their faces when they realize what's about to happen. We then cut to the interior of the windmill as Mario and Petey fall right past the camera, screaming all the while.
• At the end, after Mario's finished the final battle, Bowser Jr, Bowser, and Mario are all sent into freefall screaming. Peach, meanwhile, is just calmly holding onto her parasol and floating downwards without a whole lot of worry.
• Shortly after being kidnapped, a bulletin from the Delfino Emergency Broadcast System scrolls by, stating "Princess Peach of the Mushroom Kingdom has apparently been kidnapped..... AGAIN!" as if the Piantas themselves are getting tired of this routine.
• One of the voice bytes when Mario is set on fire is: "MAAAAAAAAMA! Hoo-ha-hoo, wow wow!"
  • Now with 46 times the length!
• Many players associate this memorable music track, a unique, catchy, and relaxed-sounding remake, with bad and frustrating experiences. Same with Sky & Sea, a peaceful, tranquil tune which plays during the game's notorious bonus Shine levels.
• A-blink-and-you-miss-it moment: Bowser Jr. asks Peach (who is lounging on a rubber duck) to come into the water and join them, her reaction is priceless.
  "Um, I think not."
• Bowser's voice. They turned a fairly menacing villain into a bumbling dad with the voice not unlike Patchy the Pirate.
  Bowser: Mario! How dare you disturb my family vacation!?
• Bowser convinces his son to go after Mario by saying "Mario's a bully, he never fights fair!"
• One of the Toads wonders how to get to Pinna Park, while standing right next to the cannon you use to get there. And no, he doesn't even have the excuse of "Who in their right minds would launch themselves out of a cannon?!?", given that Mario has done precisely that on at least two previous adventures:
  Toad: "The princess is on that island! I think it's called 'Pineapple' or something... How do you think you can get there?"
