Excellent retrospective Sir :)
Why thanks you ol'' buddy ol' pal!
You guys are both top notch. I enjoy both your channels more than 90% of the TH-camrs here in America. Quality over quantity!
redfalcon9
Bless you Sir :) I think that people who put quality in their videos are starting to get a bit of a resurgence on YT again now, after years of being buried by Let's Plays.
Larry Bundy Jr
I know right Larry (I hate lets plays)
I do find it sad that most game retrospectives are very US biased. This is why I welcome Dan and Larry's videos, there's more to them.
Y'know something I just realized? 2016 is not only the Chinese Year of the Monkey, but it's ALSO Super Monkey Ball's 15th anniversary! And SEGA's not doing a darn thing about it! I heard of wasted potential, but seriously! SEGA! Do you care for the franchise or not?!
+B.E. Satz its crazy isnt it. Someone needs to wake them up
I'll see if commenting on their Facebook is enough to get their attention. I really hope that SEGA's at least working on a new Monkey Ball game & hasn't told us yet.
Its a brilliant franchise. Would be sad if they wasnt
its on the 15th
The Butler Brothers 2
Yes and no....
I wouldn't say Deluxe is the "ultimate must have version" of Monkey Ball. There were a number of problems that arose when porting it to Xbox and PS2, such as control stick sensitivity being off, missing sound effects like the ball rolling sound (seriously), and bad loading times on PS2 especially. The engine was built with the Gamecube controller in mind and it really shows. That's why it's so cheap. I wouldn't recommend getting Deluxe other than for seeing the 47 scrapped stages of SMB3.
Kinda sad that super monkey ball, can't be abreviated without people thinking that it's super Mario bros
That 1:51 "leave the video and dive into real life" this was super bizarre and awesome. That's gotta be one fo the most striking experiences I've had on TH-cam so far.
+Squiggs 【Glitches - ROM Hacks - Speedruns】 you just made me very happy :)
One VERY important note about Super Monkey Ball Deluxe: If you're gonna get it, get the Xbox version. I have the PS2 version and load times are absolutely abysmal. Loading in between levels isn't too terrible, as this is expected, but having to stop the game to load every time you move the cursor in the level select screen for story mode is really awful. Also in terms of gameplay for both versions, there are also some problems. All the Monkey Ball 2 levels play fine, but veterans may find that the Monkey Ball 1 levels are more difficult than they remember, and this is because Deluxe is based on the engine of 2, which is mostly the same, but has some slight differences in physics that can mess up your muscle memory if you played SMB1 a lot. And the most unfortunate thing, in my opinion, are those new levels which simply aren't that great, and also ruin the very careful difficulty curve created by the original titles. Before playing Deluxe, I had completely finished SMB2, all the way through Master Extra, and had managed to make it to level 40 or so of Expert in SMB1. It took me multiple game overs before I was able to finish BEGINNER in Deluxe, simply because one of the final levels (of which there are 40 in Deluxe) required traversing extremely long and extremely thin platforms, similar to a late stage Expert Mode level from the original. It was crazy and I was completely baffled, particularly because I didn't even find a single level of Advanced to be as hard as this one. Overall, I say do yourself a favor, and just buy Super Monkey Ball 1 and 2 for the Gamecube, the controller is better suited for it anyway.
Super Monkey Ball 3D was easily my least favorite of the series; the levels were so uninspired and easy; they usually took some shape, put walls around the edges, made a little maze inside, and called it good. It was honestly pretty boring.
As for Banana Splitz, I agree that it's the best portable Monkey Ball; it's awesome! Great level design that stays true to the series. You were pretty hyped about the level editor though, so I should clear something up; all it is, you take a picture, and it randomly generates a level based on the picture you took. You don't get to individually place pieces or anything, so calling it a level editor isn't completely accurate. Great vid though, love this series!
I guess I only liked that one cuz I didn't live near a chuck e cheese and couldn't play the ticket one. That was the closest one to it
Just found your videos surfing youtube. The complete history series is really fun to watch. keep it up.
I was born in 97 and playing this and animal crossing on game cube and tomb raider on PS1 were some of my earliest memories. Watching this footage brings back so many fuzzy memories.
Ahhhhhh glad it did!
In Monkey Ball, you don't tilt the stage, its one the biggest misconceptions of the series. You are actually manipulating gravity, which is why you can control Aiai while in the air. It looks like you are tilting the stage, but again thats just gravity.
I'm loving your "History Of.." game series! Keep it up!
+xensoldier got plenty more to come mate :) including 1 just before the end of this year :)
I thought my phone messed up at 1:53 lol.
That little transition to you was awesome and something I've never seen in a TH-cam video before.
Love the vids, keep em coming m8.
Ahhhhhh I'm so happy that has tricked a few people lol literally grinning from ear to ear :D
Bit disappointed you never mentioned the quality soundtracks in each Super Monkey Ball game. I'd say Step & Roll's soundtrack is one of its most interesting aspects, and is well worth checking out for those who haven't heard it.
+Alex Magnei Plays yeah the mobkey ball soundtracks are fantastic
Had so much fun playing this game with friends back in high school
I had the Ngage version, and it was slightly better than the GBA, sprites were replaced with polygons like the Bananas and other stuff floating around and it was higher resolution. I think the Ngage waaaaay underrated. I loved that phone.
I love this series and you also have a great intro I don't know why you shortened it, everybody seems to be doing that. Are you and everyone else getting sick of their on intros, Does saving an extra 10 seconds really make that big of a difference.
2:44 they made what! That's as confusing as Bandai Namco making freaking Smash Brothers game- oh wait.
I've been playing SMB since I was 6! so much anticipation for the next one. SEGA plz!!! 😬😆
+Landon J you played the vita version? Its good fun
Banana Blitz was my introduction to this series, and I adore all of these games omg.
Great video bro. I know this must have taken a long time
Banana Blitz was not a bad game at all if you only looked at the single player. I really appreaciated the more plattformer approach of the levels and the motio controls were a perfect fit and did not get in the way because jmping could be done via A.
What was bad about it was the multiplayer. It went from a few quality minigames for hundreds of hours of fun to a spam of 50 all very boring minigames.
+moreOddThanNess yeah banna blitz is not that bad. But damn i would had loved for them to release the option for gc support
Daniel Ibbertson
According to a TH-camr named Nathaniel Bandy, the game was mentioned in a magazine and it said that it was going to be compatible with a GameCube controller.
moreOddThanNess ,
These vids are great I've been binging them all week. Great job being so thorough. Very entertaining.👍👍
Video was nicely researched, however I'm surprised to see that there was no mention of the AV dissolve prior to the release of Traveller's Tales' Adventure cockup. Nagoshi chose to put his energy into the Yakuza games, which meant less time and money being spent to develop and manage Monkey Ball (as well as a potential reason for the visual downgrade that began with Touch and Roll).
Also notable is that the 47 additional stages in Deluxe are remnants of a cancelled SMB3, and all that AV was able to complete before being shafted by SEGA's higher-ups.
I was tempted to add the facts found in the did you know gaming video but it was getting quite lengthy hahaha, thanks for leaving a comment tho buddy
+Daniel “Slope's Game Room” Ibbertson Haha, that video wasn't even on my mind when I wrote that. You raise a good point about repeating facts, for sure.
Kind of a cool perspective on the state of Monkey Ball. I played super on GameCube but didn't know of all the stuff that came after, at least the vast majority. It's way more utilized than I thought
I picked up Super Monkey Ball Deluxe for the Xbox from a car boot sale for £2 a few month's ago, £2 !!! Absolutely, totally, incredibly, most likely the best deal I have bought and added to my ever increasing gaming collection. Also, it was in mint condition, awesome !!!
+II DIRECTx II that is £2 perfectly spent my friend
Daniel Ibbertson and now they're over $60😂😂
Loved this little respective/history of Monkey Ball! I honestly missed out on the entire series, I only recently picked up Super Monkey Ball for GC a few months ago due to watching GameSack play the minigames on their channel. They're so much fun!
Yeah the monkey ball games are outstanding :) Hopefully we get to see more in the future :D
I adore Monkey Ball and have no idea exactly why, yet here we are. That said all 3 of my son's love the series too.
Fantastic vid Dan, your editing is always spot on.
I do like a bit of Monkey ball, however I have to say I much prefer the mini games than the actual main game, hours just playing that flying target game lol.
Monkey Target is the nuts, I'm getting my GameCube linked to my new projector this weekend witha couple of wavebirds :D this is gonna be awesome
I have all gamecube and wii versions. I lovee them all.
YES i never understood why they did not make a "Level Edit" mode! Lets hope something new comes out on Xbox on something with it! Sharing them online would mean i would never leave my house but it would be amazing!
The Vita version has a level editor :)
Daniel Ibbertson please tell me you play the ryu ga gotoku games and that maybe just maybe you'll do a video on the series?🤗
The monkey ball footage is so smooth. You're able to get 60 fps on your TH-cam videos?
one thing... i am a serious sega fan because every video you have up with sega music, i know exactly what game they were from and what level... example sonic cd boss music...deary me... ill get my coat.
SMB on Gamecube is my 4th perfect game (after Super Breakout on 2600 , Asteroids Deluxe in arcade and Tetris)
f-ZERO the Complete Historry
Yeeeeahhh
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM, Great working with you mate
When all of my data of 100+ hours of game time deleted 1:14
I played the racing mini game way more than necessary...
Still, a great damn game. Quite possibly the most fun I had with my gamecube.
Nice video! I love Super Monkey Ball 1 & 2 and Banana Blitz is an alright game, I like it. I wish there was a Monkey Ball on the Dreamcast
That would had beeen soooooo good, Sadly it was not meant to be
Yeah, maybe one day someone might find a test demo/early beta of it or something. I really like your video's because you tell the history's of them and I find out some stuff I didn't know about them. You just earned a sub :)
That's awesome thank you so much :D
Your welcome :)
Sonic1994CD I love banana blitz
Hey Dan when I tried ten years ago to get a games testing job at Sega they used Super Monkey Ball 2 as a test. Unfortunately a combination of me never having played the game before and no clear instructions as to my test made me fail. Haven't touched the series since.
These games have always intrigued me but I still have never played one. Might need to change that soon!
Howdy Folks! Gaming definitely gotta play them. Go for the GameCube ones, those are the best games in the series.
Larry Bundy Jr brought me here :) I was absolutely addicted to Monkey Ball on iOS in high school haha. Great content, I subscribed!
Larry is a good guy :D
Ahhhhhhhh larry is a good guy :D
Wait phone realese Apptoid here i come
Holy shit I never noticed that the Game Cube logo looks very similar to the Treasure logo.
HA, nor me
1:52
For a second I thought my pc was having a freak out XD.
I thought my video was spassing out on my kindle
Yeah that would be typical of my computer.
Enjoyed seeing Top Man in this - more Top Man for 2021/22 ?
I get that Super Monkey Ball: Adventure is a bad game, however I love it just for nostalgia reasons. I grew up with it, it was the first game I’ve ever beaten on my own. I always replay it at least twice a year. I know it’s a bad game, but I still love it.
Great video. I sadly never played any of the games in this series. Might need to rectify that now!
Defo worth trying out buddy, spes now that the games are about £2 each lol
13:26 finally smbbb gets its turn.
now people are starting to make new levels for smb2
:D
+Alan Dawson o really?
the music is really good too.
Oh my, F Zero GX !!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Well-done Sega, well-done 👌
+II DIRECTx II i bloody love that game
Wow! There are a lot of Monkey Ball games I even didn't know about! =O
I tip my hat to you man! Great video! ;D ^_^
+Anthony TZ your tophat?
I am indeed a fan of those, so of course my good sir! ;D
Me and my friends played this for hours and hours. Very happy to have a wii and smb1 and 2!
Yeah, The Wii is a brilliant way of playing your old GC games spes with the Component cables :)
Well, if you can't say that Super Monkey Ball was the best launch game for the 'cube, you can at least say it's the best third-party launch game.
Agreed
Don't mind me, just brushing up on my Monkey Ball lore real quick.
those are some very british teeth there
I saw you on Guru Larrys video, I want to have babies with your videos now.
+That Creepy Reading THE DNA RESULTS ARE IN... you ARE the father

...I'm not sure if I should impressed, or if I should be facepalming in that footage.
Hahahaha woops
Daniel Ibbertson No worries, it happens.
This was the very first video game I ever played in my childhood. 😊
that terrible man in the bowler derby has an alarmingly low polygon count
Great video as always, have you checked out the Kororinpa series on the Wii?
Diggin the SEGA stuff.
+Henryk Szlangbaum thanks dude
I effing love super monkey ball! It's the game I put in when I have ppl who don't much play games come over my house. Awesome job slopes! Why does the top hat guy sound like he's got a well of saliva pooling in his mouth as he speaks? Like he is watching someone carve up a turkey as he reads his lines.
+Andrew Young (Drew tube) hahaha thats so fucking funny!
Tbf thats exactly what i was doing whilst fiming him
Daniel Ibbertson bleep you sweared
1:52 did my tablet freak out?
To be fair when I fired up a Sega game on the cube it didn't feel right but suoermonkey ball 2 is prob one of the best games ever made as it covered so many game types so was amazing value for money. How the hell they screwed up the Wii version after the cube versions was so good
My two older siblings grew up with Super Monkey Ball
Man come on. You had a dapper old gentleman and you didn't have him twirl his moustache and laugh.
Great video!
Cheers Craig
No worries!
It's incorrect that "the stage tilt is what causes the ball to move", it's merely a visual effect that can be disabled in the rom's developer options while maintaining the rest of the motion mechanics. Besides, this doesn't make sense given you can roll up steep slopes while they aren't completely tilted downwards by the control stick.
Personally I love that game sm3 though hated no multiplayer stages thing. MiniMini games were fun though.
I love the first two, but I lost interest when Sega never made a proper third entry and took the route of gimmicks and motion controls. I think a few of the post Gamecube titles, especially the Wii and Vita games, could've been contenders for a third game if they were expanded on, had proper analog control, and returned to the arcadey feel of the first two. Not to say these are bad, I just feel like some of the charm was lost with the change in artstyle and the addition of a few unnecessary gimmicks.
One thing I did not add in the video (due to timing) was that a 3rd game was announced but never finished/made/released.
I know what you meen I loved the original style of the game
I'd love for you to do a history session for the Yakuza series!
Me too, I have always admired that series. However I have never played it! No idea why as I love Shenmue! I need to sort this out!!!!!
I love monkey ball 1 and 2 however I don't despise Adventure. I think it's fine. Plus it had a better art style than Banana Blitz.
this is now obsolete. banana blitz hd has been announced.
What was that music that played when Daniel started talking about Amusement Vision?
+Alder613 i think it was from a daytina game if i remember correctly
The first Monkey Ball game I played was Super Monkey Ball 2 on GameCube, and as a kid, I SUCKED at it.
Try again dude, I am sure you will be better now
In monkey ball you are actually controlling the ball. The game tilts the level so it looks like the level is moving
You use "A" to jump in bannana blitz......
Ninjastar Compass
You can also hold the "B" button while flinging up your Wii remote to jump in Banana Blitz.
I like banana blitz (SMBBB) 50 minigames, yanyan and doctor made it, it is a wii game.
This my jam
so the wii u didnt get a monkey ball game,thats interesting. the gyro controls would have been perfect for a monkeyball game
+16bitCapricorn such a massive shame isnt it
16bitCapricorn yeah we need one for the Nintendo switch
16bitCapricorn and it's a shame we did not have one for Wii u
13:37 well it has naganuma
You forgot about the smb games on the j2me!!!
Kirby The Complete History
Who likes Bananas more?
Sega or Nintendo?
Who has the Dole endorsement?
Donkey Kong Country is so yesterday..
Monkey Ball GBA would have ran nice on the 32x hehe.
I didn't realize there was an original XBOX version. That means I can play it! Mind blown.
I don't know why people call it the death of SEGA... Right out of the gate when SEGA transitioned to 3rd party they utterly nailed it... Panzer Dragoon Orta, Super Monkey Ball, O.TO.GI, Outrun 2, Shinobi PS2, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, Shenmue 2, Skies of Arcadia Legends, Jet Set Radio Future, Ecco, PSO Episode 1&2 and Virtua Fighter 4 to name a few utter beauts... General favour was totally against SEGA because of console fanboyism but they were pumping out pure gold...
Hell yea! You got THGM to join in! Nice.
+Joe Barajas (SuperPowerPainter) YEAAAAHHHHHHHHHH
Super Mario Bros The Complete History
"SOOPAH MOWNKEE BOWLLS"
Interesting story, when the gamecube was being launched Nintendo where worried about sales so dropped the price... Twice before release date. Went into electronics boutique at midnight on launch day and upon being told it was cheaper I had a decision to make. Save the money or get another game. Looking at the other games I saw a Sega game it had a monkey on it never heard of it but I love SEGA and I'm born in summer 1980 (year of the monkey) definitely the best game I bought my gamer tag is even AIAI_1980 now. Monkey race 3 player round friends on maximum laps so much fun.
Monkey ball even rivals mario party for multiplayer fun on the GCSE. Such an awesome game... you defo made the right choice lol
@Daniel Iddertson what was that kind of music was playing at the Amusement Visions part
No mention of the awesome soundtrack? These songs, so good... well at least, on the versions I had which were Super 2 on Gamecube and Deluxe on PS2. On a different note, those games really showed me how superior the Gamecube controller's analogue stick was to the PS2's. In most games it didn't matter that much but in these ones it really made a difference. Personally I found the main game entertaining enough and actually didn't play the minigames that much.
I didn't like the jump mechanic whatsoever when I had a brief go with that game. They made the levels so much bigger and easier in order to accomodate it and... the game was just too loose, didn't have that "one more try" addictive puzzle feel to it any more, not nearly as much and the stages just didn't feel as unique either. A step backwards imo. With most games, a little extra innovation now and then can be an improvement. With this series I think they had the formula perfect out the gate and at least as far as the main game goes, messing with it only muddles it.
I honestly couldn't stomach the way the series turned when they made the DS one. I absolutely couldn't stand the new visual style, and now it's another franchise that sadly just gets a release just for the new gimmicks. It's also what happened to Wario Ware, and it hurts my soul. That all being said, I really wish Monkey Ball would've had a release on the Dreamcast... All I really want now though is a port of Deluxe in HD and I'm good.
Looks hd on my tv lol
You should do a gex video
In my opinion, after SMB2 the series went downhill like Sonic did. I remember as a little kid I got super monkey ball banana blitz and was absolutely turned off from the newer series. I hate the art style and the only challenge in the games were getting the damn gimicky controls to work right. All the levels were very samey and boring. And those mini games weren't good either.
SMB suffers the same fate as Sonic. It's here to stay but we all get excited for a new release, realize it's shit, go silent, then repeat.
It's because AV was dissolved after Deluxe and the series was given to other development teams.
Where is the music from that starts about the 2:12 mark
Best game ever
