I apologize if this has already been discussed a thousand times over the years on this site... but, regarding who composed what in this game, I found something rather interesting.

(Keep in mind, this is by no means official confirmation at all).

A GitHub user created a tool to edit Super Mario Sunshine files and they have listed all of the tracks found in the original game with the in-game filenames.

Some of them start with k_*, and the others with t_*, and it just so happens that, out of the confirmed Sunshine credits that we have from this album, they line up exactly with Koji Kondo and Shinobu Tanaka, respectively. Which leads me to believe that the name headers actually indicate which composer was in charge of each track.

Based on this, I got this track rundown (English names come from the sound test on Super Mario 3D All-Stars):

Spoiler:

k_dolpic.com - Delfino Plaza - Koji Kondo
k_bianco.com - Bianco Hills - Koji Kondo

t_shine_appea - A Shine Sprite Appears - Shinobu Tanaka

Keep in mind that this pretty much does not include music from the cutscenes (I guess it possibly can't be extracted at all), but otherwise the list is rather comprehensive. It's also missing the Staff Credits theme, but we already know that to be Kondo's.

A reminder of the official credits we have :

Koji Kondo:
- Delfino Plaza
- Bianco Hills
- Secret Course
- Ricco Harbor
- Gelato Beach
- Staff Roll (the only one that's not on this list)

Shinobu Tanaka(/Nagata):
- Event
- Sky & Sea
- Pinna Park
- Mecha-Bowser
- Noki Bay
- Noki Bay (Deep Sea)
- Sirena Beach
- Pianta Village

That's 13 songs that matches with official credits. So, this adds a lot of credibility to your theory !

Thank you for your digging these infos ! Super Mario Sunshine is a game that was very important for my childhood and it's one of my top wanted composer breakdown, so this is amazing to me !

Thanks for sharing the information on the individual composers! I used it to create external tags metadata files for Super Mario 3D All-Stars:
