Super Mario Sunshine (2002)

@GameStalgiaX I see to think that this mirror was awesome, back in the day we weren't used to having "realistic" reflections like that

These reflections are "faked" using a render-to-texture. Basically, you use a second camera positioned and oriented to mirror mario's camera's across the plane of the mirror's surface. Capture what that camera sees, apply that as a texture on the mirror's surface. Draw the white grid lines and boom, fake mirror surface with reflections.

@GameStalgiaX Proud to have completed 100% of Super Mario Sunshine!

@GameStalgiaX No game made you feel Summer like this game does

@GameStalgiaX Best GameCube game, and one of the best Mario games of all time!

@GameStalgiaX Underrated Mario game.

@GameStalgiaX RTX on

@GameStalgiaX I’ve never played this game but I see clips of it all the time. I’ve never seen this before lol

@GameStalgiaX GameCube era Nintendo was special

@GameStalgiaX this game was dope as fuck

@GameStalgiaX I remember this being one of the very few areas in the game with frame drops

@GameStalgiaX Mario sunshine était techniquement monstrueux
