Super Mario Sunshine Is Now More Difficult Than Dark Souls Thanks To Joy-Con Drift
Super Mario Sunshine has always been a bit divisive, as some fans appreciate the unique worlds within the game. However, other fans remember the game as a frustrating mess. Whether you love the game or dismiss it, the game has always been notorious for its troublesome camera and frequent glitches, but now the game is even more infuriating. Many players are currently dealing with joy-con drift. Joy-Con drift is always inconvenient, but in Super Mario Sunshine it makes the game virtually unbeatable. The drift can not only cause the camera to permanently spin 360 degrees, but it can also cause Mario to randomly swerve in the wrong direction. Some players are embracing the challenge though, and are using this as a sort of “challenge mode” difficulty setting. This mode is not an official mode, but the internet is making it a thing.
How Does The Super Mario Sunshine Joy-Con Drift Challenge Work?
The Super Mario Sunshine Joy-Con Drift Challenge involves playing with two drifting joy-cons. The challenge is easily accessible as every single Nintendo Switch owner has at least one pair of drifting joy-cons. I took on the challenge and tried playing with two drifting joy-cons, and the rumors are true. This game becomes easily the most difficult one in existence. This new difficulty challenge will likely cause the game to go down in memory as the most difficult platformer in existence. It is only due time before popular streamers start streaming gameplay of this ridiculously difficult challenge.
The challenge is interesting to watch though, especially as a viewer. Playing the game is a completely different beast, but the challenge is likely to garner massive amounts of views. Who will be the first to complete the game with drifting joy-cons? We will have to wait and see. Speed running challenges will likely only cement this mode as a true piece of Nintendo culture.
