Extremely helpful
This helped me and my brother a lot. Whenever we got stuck it helped us as to what to do next. With the constant high standard of nintendo products i didn't expect any less and wasn't disappointed.

Stuck! Now you're not
this guide does exatly what it says on the can it helps you in Sunshine. But it does this very well with 3d maps of the levels and will help yopu finish the game in no time at all.

Whats worse than getting frustrated at something you cant do? that is no fun but this guide will solve all those problems.

Also, if you only want to use it when you get stuck then it is easy to find wheree you are and then get the answer and put the book back and pick it up again further on in the game

SPOILER ZONE!!!
Super Mario Sunshine is undoubtably one of the best games so far on Gamecube (Ninty's next-gen console), but in my opinion it just doesn't have the replayability that made Super Mario 64 so great. Yes, the idea is so innovative that only Shigero Miyamoto could have dreamed it up, but once you've finished the game, it's all over. As far as I could say, there is no extras at all.
Well, might as well get the job finished properly, then. This guide can help you to get all 120 stars, so you'll feel that there is no need for any extra modes, as you've already got the most out of the classic game.
Although, I have to say, there is no cheats for the game. This would give the game a bit more fun, e.g. big heads, unlimited water.
Despite this, the guide is a great help and is the best you can buy.
