Hi! Welcome to my HD texture pack information page for Super Mario Sunshine 4K! ![Smile]( "Smile")

- There are ~1500 textures in total in the game (I have tried to dump every single one, however I may have missed a few). Out of these textures roughly 500 have been completely re-textured. Many other textures have been been up-scaled using A.I upscaling. Some filtered textures have been modified or changed entirely to look better as well. Some textures remain completely untouched until I've worked on them since some textures look bad when upscaled.
- I am completely up for suggestions, changes and submissions. You will of course be fully credited for any work you submit.
- The 4K version of the texture pack is scaled to 8x the default resolution, this means that (if internal resolution is increased in Dolphin) you may be able to view some textures at a staggering 6832x3480 resolution! Taking into account that you are using the widescreen hack of course. The 1080p version is scaled to 4x the default resolution, which results to slightly above 1080p.
- My goal with this texture pack is to enhance the original game visuals while staying faithful to the original vision. That means my textures are meant to blend in as much as possible with the old textures so the game feel doesn't change too much.
- This texture pack is for Super Mario Sunshine on the GameCube only. There are no plans to port it to the Switch version in Super Mario 3D All Stars.
- This texture pack will work with any custom mods / hacks of Super Mario Sunshine as long as they aren't adding new textures or changing old ones (in that case, conflicting textures will be overwritten by one another but it will still work).
- Ishiiruka-Dolphin is required to make material maps, shaders and other nice visual features work and is highly recommended. There is a custom fork of Ishiiruka Dolphin inside the texture pack download which you can use, or alternatively download the latest version of Ishiiruka-Dolphin (pros only!).
- There is a 60 FPS patch provided with the texture pack, and it works without any major issues on the NTSC (North American) version of the game. The European version also has a 60 FPS patch, but might cause some glitches (most notably laggy cutscenes). Therefore, the 60 FPS patch is only enabled by default on the NTSC version of the game. The Japanese version has no codes enabled at all by default and is not recommended.
- Currently, only NTCS and PAL textures have been modified. You can still use this texture pack on Japanense / Korean versions of the game in Dolphin, it will still work. This will not include the Jap/Kor region specific textures though.
- If you don't like the way my texture pack looks over the original, please note that all post processing can be modified easily from user to user to fit your own preference. If you think "I'd rather play Switch version" then this probably isn't for you.
- If you are having issues with stuttering and lag, remember to check "Prefetch Custom Textures" in the 'Advanced' tab of the Graphics settings before asking for help. I also recommend enabling V-Sync as it removes screen tearing in full screen mode. If it's still lagging, try lowering the internal resolution a bit.
- This texture pack is in no way shape or form related to the Super Mario 3D All Stars remaster of Super Mario Sunshine!
Why would I play this over the Switch / Super Mario 3D All Stars version?
There are many reasons why you would want to play the GameCube version of Super Mario Sunshine with a HD Texture Pack over the Switch version. Here are some I've listed out the top of my head;
- Better visuals (Higher resolution textures, material maps, rim lighting, depth of field, ambient occlusion, global illumination, tonemapping, post processing shaders and even ray tracing which is coming at a later date!)
- It's cheap (if you own the original game, you don't need to pay 60$ to play it in HD)
- Full GameCube controller support (including rumble)
- 60 FPS & 120 FPS
- Ultra Widescreen Support (21:9 or even higher)
- Superior mods and modding tools
- Free Cam
- Supports a plethora of cheats and patches
- Stereoscopic 3D support
- VR Potential
- Supports nearly all gamepads. Including PS4, Xbox One or the Switch Pro Controller.
