Sunshine isn't super hard once you get used to the control scheme, although I think 100 percenting it is tough. I also seem to remember a couple of the "must pass" levels were tougher.

 

Pikmin was good, although the global timer sucked. A walkthrough / hint page helps alot. Pikmin 2 was almost as good, although I seem to recall having colors wiped out by accident.

 

Mario Golf is good, but some of the courses are frustrating 'cause they are suspended in midair.

A couple of unsolicited suggestions: If you like first-person shooters, try Geist. If you like SHMUPS, then you'll want Ikaruga.

yes, Ikaruga.

 

i still play the shit out of Toadstool Tour, and the versus mode in Pikmin 2 became a ritual with my friends.

 

get Alien Hominid. the create-your-own-level feature in the PDA Games kept me busy for weeks.

 

try to track down the Legend of Zelda Collector's Edition or Ocarina of Time / Master Quest.

 

Mario Party 4 is a masterpiece.

I completely agree with Donkey Konga, Mario Kart DD, Ikarua, Alien Hominid and Mario Party 4 being all awesome games.
