Supper Mario Broth released a visual comparison between Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine. When Mario encounters small exposed areas at the scene boundaries, he collides, bounces back, and stops in Super Mario 64; whereas in Super Mario Sunshine, the fall animation appears much more intense.
This discrepancy stems from the player community's re-examination of animation details in two older titles. The comparison uses the phrase "broken SPINE - This is Gun Fu" to describe the effect in Super Mario Sunshine, emphasizing the exaggerated nature of the fall animation.
