Impressions....
Playing Super Mario Sunshine
in such a lucid and thoughtful atmosphere, i began noticing
a number of meanings behind some of the game's components...
i've commented before how Shigeru Miyamoto's games have
some hidden messages... The
Legend of Zelda : Majora's Mask
for example, have an overwhelming sense of racism and seperation
of species... and some racism continues with Mario Sunshine,
but it may have another meaning... and also the addition
of domestic violence thanks to fucking around...
Super Mario Sunshine takes
place on a tropical island of beauty and traquility.. yet
its residence are hediously ugly... now what do you suppose
Miyamoto meant by this ?... what island resorts do we know
of in our own world.. there's Hawaii and Bahamas... also
Cancun.. and Jamaica for examples.. do you suppose Miyamoto
is commented how inferiorly ugly other races of earth are
to the japanese ?... how they are only there to serve the
Japanese, and are irrelevant to their culture.. Miyamoto
is up to his tricks again...
although further looking
at the meaning behind the residents.. could he be searching
for a type of balance in the world of Mario Sunshine...
create an ugly race of people to be housed in such a beautiful
island... to distort our own human image.. is Miyamoto saying
that as a people we emphasize too much on our looking, when
beauty is all around us... is that why Mario and Peach look
so normal ?.. because they have inner beauty and as such,
display it for everyone to see ?..
Speaking of Mario and Peach...
i know not of their past, but i know their present up the
point i've gotten to in the game... it seems that Bowser
and Peach have a son, who is tormenting this island paradise...
thanks to Peach's fucking around, Mario now has his own
set of problems.. now what do you suppose Miyamoto was trying
to say here ?.. don't let your girl fool around, because
it'll bite you in the ass ?.. thats not a very correct statement...
and it doesn't mean anything about custody battles, because
the kid wants the mother back...
ah.. perhaps Miyamoto is
showing how seperation of parents, can really damage a child
mentally... and this kid couldn't have started with much
intelligence having Bowser as a father... the child lashes
out violently and irresponsibly at his mother's new boyfriend...
he doesn't want a replacement father.. he wants both his
father and his mother together.. with him... so the child
frames Mario as the villian in the island of Del Sol ( of
whatever ).. and then waits for the fish to take the bait...
such violent behavior..
the only one that acts civilized is Peach... and she's the
one who fucked around, and started this whole however many
years ago... now what do you suppose Miyamoto was thinking
of at this point of the development ??.. that women are
to blame for men's violent actions ?... or that women are
the downfall of society and hot vacation spots... Shigeru
Miyamoto has such anger in him... what a genius to lash
out in a child's game where they have no idea whats going
on...
I still have a ways to go
in the game, so the observations will continue on with my
progression in the game... Miyamoto's vision of modern society
is a dark one, but he masks his true feelings well behind
a veil of simplicity meant for a child... not since Where's
Waldo have children been brainwashed so ingeniously...
