holy shit it's not that badSuper Mario sunshine was a famous moment in Nintendo history where they took a page directly from dragon quest. Once stated by Hiroshi Yamauchi that people who play RPGs are depressed gamers who like to sit alone in their dark rooms and play slow games. Interesting what game could he have been referring to at the time in Japan and what was the most popular oh snap dragon quest anyways.
So not to be outdone by dragon quest as the number one contender for games whose visuals and sound effects cause a distinct drop in dopamine and serotonin levels to the player and individual. Mariosunshine was born. It was Nintendo's darkest and finest moment. A game that not only memory holes the trauma you receive from it but also causes gamers to be depressed. After single handedly stealing the title of most depressing game since dragon quest RPGs Hiroshi Yamauchi was able to step down in 2002.
