For this month's "Maps Of The Month" featurette, I wish to draw your attention to VGCartography's Super Mario Sunshine (GameCube) maps.
Mario and Princess Peach, as well as some Toads, fly to Isle Delfino for a vacation. But when they arrive at the island resort, they find themselves in some trouble. Mario is accused of splattering paint-like goop all over the island and causing Shine Sprites to vanish. To clear his good name, Mario vows to find the true villain and clean up the island, with the help of Professor E. Gadd's latest invention: FLUDD, the Flash Liquidizer Ultra Dousing Device. FLUDD's abilities of shooting water or being propelled by it will allow Mario to not only clean up the messes, but also to find the 120 missing Shine Sprites in Isle Delfino's nine areas.
What would also help are VGCartography's maps of Super Mario Sunshine here on VGMaps.com! Each area is beautifully captured, with Shines, Red Coins, Blue Coins, and other things of note indicated with icons. Even if mapping polygonal games is VGCartography's forte, it's still always impressive to see these kinds of maps here on VGMaps.com. In fact, this is the first map set of a GameCube game ever to be honoured for the Maps Of The Month!
So to recognize the effort put into mapping a GameCube classic, VGCartography's Super Mario Sunshine (GameCube) maps will be known as VGMaps.com's Maps Of The Month for August 2025.
