So if I remember correctly (and admittedly, it’s been a long time since I plays Sunshine) when you start the game most of the other townspeople are mean to you when you talk them until you progress and find more shines. This guy doesn’t care though. He doesn’t judge you for your supposed “crime”. He just wants to let you know why he’s chillin on this little island.
Plus he doesn’t seem to be complaining about it, since he could easily ask the guy who swam over here for help, just stating the fact and getting on with his day.
I aspire to his level of being non-judgmental and his ability to sit alone as far away from people as possible and have some peace and quiet.
Yup, thing is all the islanders could see him and actively chose to leave him there. That to me says he was universally hated on the island and was left there to die
Could be worse. There’s a bit in “Kidnapped” by Robert Louis Stevenson where a guy was stranded on a desert “island” that was only an island at high-tide.
Most likely doesn’t know how to swim and depending on what he’s made of, could just sink to the bottom like a rock. So water would be deadly to them even though the other side is within view and so close.
Not sure about Mario Sunshine, but in most Mario games, water is even deadly to Mario as if you fall off into water you get a game over. So yeah water is not to be treated like water in our reality, in the toad kingdom it is probably acid or has properties that causes you to sink to the bottom immediately (has no surface tension and can’t swim in it) and die if you go in it.
I’m so glad this is up here cause I just booted up sunshine again about a week ago. It’s even funnier once the little ships start passing but the islands like dude. Just get on the boats.
I got it on the Switch thinking once I got past my GameCube nostalgia I’d see the game’s flaws, but this game is just amazing.
It still looks gorgeous, smooth/responsive mechanics and relaxing to play (unless you’re trying to 100% lol). I’d lose my shit if they ever made a sequel
swimming is a learned behaviour, not everyone can do it
I think he just pissed off his wife and is afraid of conflict.
Well, that doesn’t mean he’s never been off the island in the meantime.
Maybe he’s like Yoshi and immediately melts in water
Who said he wants to comeback?
Away from people, away from troubles.
Omg are you playing Mario Party Sunshine?

Aaaaaaaaaaaand, the Delfino theme is now stuck in my head. Thx OP.
I fucking love SMSS.
Maybe he just fears water.
He can’t swim because that’s actually pure muscle. He’d sink like a stone.
Best mario game
He is evading the IRS, and doing a good job of it
This repost has to be at least a decade old!
Trying to get yoshi on there made the island feel a lot further away
Movie Castaway on the Moon

Then he’s saved after the flood and misses his island.
Best Mario game ever, loved the squid battle and the Bowser rollercoaster
Then you will die out here on moron island

Dips his toe in the water
“PFFFYFPHT..NuooOHHH!”
Sunshines hubworld is so comfy

Thats what you say when you have a family in town that you don’t want to see.
After 19 years I finally finished this game. I never thought about homies circumstances.
I just sprayed him with water and tried to double jump off him into the ocean.
So assuming he can’t swim, it’s amazing that nobody has bothered to rescue him in 3 years. I’m sure people have noticed, they just don’t care.
And when the area floods, he gets to the shore, but then he realizes he misses the island and wishes to go back.
Maybe he’s made of cotton candy

What a great game.

He never said he was trapped. Maybe he loved it so much that he comes back frequently
