Now that I'm finally done with the game, I guess I can say my final thoughts here. This was really an amazing experience and one of the best games I have ever played in the series. The level design was superb, being on par and dare I say in some instances better than the original games. The music was still good, although that is a Sega staple. The worlds were super creative and the story was the best I've ever seen. It was a welcome addition to have full blown cutscenes again. The difficulty overall I'd say is on par with SMB1 and Banana Splitz, and I'd say it is a three way tie between them all. I had so many frustrating moments in the game, but that was a good thing. I really missed hard Super Monkey Ball with creative level design, it was such a breath of fresh air. This game took so much of the criticism from both Banana Blitz HD and Banana Mania and took it to the next level. Some criticisms I would have is the lack of proper party games, but I do like the online mode as well, it is very fun! The physics can feel wonky at times but overall they feel very similar to the original games, especially playing as Baby who feels the closest to them. Nonetheless, this is definitely in the top 5 of my favorite Super Monkey Ball games, and after 12 years since the last non-remake title, I'm really happy to see that this game turned out very well. Overall, I'd say I'd give it a 9/10. Thank you to all who watched through this journey, and for those who have found my walkthroughs not even just for this game but Super Monkey Ball in general, thank you for allowing me to guide everyone when it comes to these games. Stay safe everyone
I agree, it's one of the best SMB games imo. The spindash definitely contributes to that though, really fun! "the story was the best I've ever seen" Also agree on this. Throughout the whole thing I was like "this is freaking adorable!". Yeah they really put heart into this game, despite the lack of party stuff. Do wish it was multiplat mind you, but oh well. Cheers for the vids.
Sliding Bars in EX World 8 took me the longest, yes even longer than some of the levels here, lol. Not sure what my favorite level was but the latter half of the ex stages have really awesome concepts
Nothing will stop me! Not even (gasp)! EX 10-2 Crystal Mine?! I’m not letting go, even for (gasp)! EX 10-6 Enigma?! No! If you think I’ll let go for a little… EX 10-10 BUMPER BARRAGE?! OH NO! AAAAAH!
glad im not the only one talking about 10-7. i wanted to check if there was any quick way through this level, but no the game actually wants you to clutch this hard 😭
What I really miss is 30 second levels, and there was potential for a lot of levels for that. But other than that, this Super Monkey Ball was very interesting all along. Also Cosmic Curves is just sliding down a toboggan under acid 🤣
Will illumination will ever make a super monkey ball movie, OR EVEN BETTER "THE SUPER MONKEY BALL BANANA MOVIE" and they WHOULD add Yanyan and Doctor too (and even Palette from banana rumble since she was debut) and probably Easel, Fes, Val, and Tee and maybe added the main villian DR. Bad-Boon and his assistant, I not sure if they add Jam and Jet in the movie since they officially no longer canon since since Banana splitz/super monkey ball bounce, and they both really are parts of the main Super Monkey Ball gangs like Aiai, Meemee, Baby, Gongon, Yanyan, Doctor, (and Palette) and really suppose to be 8 or 9 main super Monkey Ball characters and that is Aiai, Meemee, Baby, Gongon, Yanyan, Doctor, Jam, Jet, (and Palette) just like 3d, banana splitz, and bounce, and probably added the other villians like yoko and the other banana blitz boss fights and added the monkey ball adventure monkey characters like papa, princess Dee Dee, prince AbeAbe and more monkey characters added in the movie and also even better in the super monkey ball movie add the monkey ball mini games scenes in the movie like add the monkey race scene, monkey fight scene, monkey target scene, and maybe the monkey dog fight scene from super monkey ball 2 like in the super mario movie they added the mario kart scene and they're eyes will have actuall regular eyes like Dr. Bad-Boon, Fes, and Tee or theyre eyes will still be cartoon eyes, and all of the monkey ball characters will actually talk including Dr. Bad-Boon and the characters design will be base off of Banana Rumble design (including Jam and Jet) and jet will be wearing pants like the rest of the monkeys and jam pretty much wears pants by default. like mee mee has a ponytail with a pink bow on her head her bang her stuby tail and Baby has a stuby tail and bang too and doctor has a beard now and all of the monkeys wear pants and will aiai will have his blue backpack like in most of the modern monkey ball games and will meemee will have a flower on her dress like her classic designs and will meemee will have polka-dots on her dress or even better white flower patterns on her dress and will the monkeys will have actuall feet like they're classic designs has, but I think they wouldn't do it tho because people did just thought monkey ball is a ball simulator game and people who doesn't really know much about it just say like "oh all monkey ball is about is just a game we're you just play as a monkey in a ball" that's it and people didn't even know about the monkey ball characters story and even if they heard there's a monkey ball 2 game that has the cutscenes people said "all of cutscenes is about the monkeys having they're bananas stolen from a evil baboon and the monkeys have to stop it from stilling they're bananas" thats it and maybe Iillumination is thinking the same thing about it that why there isn't a modern monkey ball toy with yanyan or doctor toy or modern happy meal toy or even a super monkey ball cartoon, and Illustration probably don't know more about monkey ball and the characters story of how aiai meets meemee and how baby is aiai and Meemees son? how aiai and meemee were married? how aiai meets gongon, YanYan, Doctor Jam and jet (and Palette), and show how Dr.Badboon becomes a villan and how aiai and his friends finds a magical ball that they get inside and roll fly, run, and bounce, and more (and even spindash) and people didn't know that aiai and meemee were adults and didn't know baby was there son because baby is a white monkey and not a brown monkey like he is in touch and roll maybe he's a alabama monkey, and Super Monkey Ball is a cool popular game then the other sega games like samba de amigo, crazy taxi, billy hatcher, house of the dead, Alex kid, Nights into dreams and more and again Illustration probably don't know more about monkey ball and the characters story of how aiai meets meemee and how baby is aiai and Meemees son how aiai and meemee were married how aiai meets gongon, YanYan, Doctor Jam and jet and show how Dr.Badboon becomes a villan and how aiai and his friends finds a magical ball that they get inside and roll fly, run, and bounce, and more and again people didn't know that aiai and meemee were adults mistaking that they're kids and didn't know baby was they're son because baby is a white monkey and not a brown monkey like he is in touch and roll maybe And also aiai and gongon or doctor or jet doesn't have a visible stomach under they're shirts and meemee doesn't have her lower part of her stomach eitherand even tho her skirt covers up her lower body that don't mean they don't add the visible butt a stuby tail and a lower stomach even though her skirt covers her lower body that doesn't really matter because we can see her lower body when she runs shake her butt or other victory animations or when she rolls when she runs too fast seeing her lower body that easy and she even nolonger has a ponytail or a stuby tail like her classic designs until banana rumble even doctor don't have a visible butt but has a stuby tail and Yanyan don't have a visible butt either and is it because she's a Lemur do lemurs have visible skin butts like monkeys, gorillas, and baboons has and not only that Jet the yellow monkey from monkey ball 3D or yoko the black monkey from banana blitz or what ever monkeys they both are because they both not just the regular monkeys like aiai meemee baby and doctor are, but Jet and yoko both dont have a bare butt either and also Jam from step and roll also have his body fully covered because he wears shorts and has his stuby tail sticking out through his shorts. In banana rumble baby has a stuby tail for the first time and Aiai in banana rumble still doesn't wears a blue backpack, also I'm glad that they got redesign in banana rumble since they never got redesign again since banana blitz and i like how they all wear pants! Their movie design is probably gonna be slightly a banana rumble design but slightly different and make it a 2-hour movie.
Wormhole maze sucks so much. Like, I absolutely adore this game, but I don't understand how the pick-a-path luck based stage that is wormhole maze made it past the drawing board
Now that I'm finally done with the game, I guess I can say my final thoughts here.

Did you have any fav levels? What levels do you think gave you the most trouble overall?
Sliding Bars in EX World 8 took me the longest, yes even longer than some of the levels here, lol. Not sure what my favorite level was but the latter half of the ex stages have really awesome concepts
I chuckled because I was not the only one who saved a replay after completing Neo Broken Cylinder for the first time
Nothing will stop me! Not even (gasp)! EX 10-2 Crystal Mine?!
I’m not letting go, even for (gasp)! EX 10-6 Enigma?! No!
If you think I’ll let go for a little… EX 10-10 BUMPER BARRAGE?! OH NO! AAAAAH!
The Ultimate Adventure ❌
The Ultimate Bumper Mess ✔️
10-7 was sooooo hard omg
This game was honestly such a nice experience, and a huge breath of fresh air
Stuck on 10-7. I can get to the last part but always run out of time 😢you’re a monkey ball master 👏🏻
glad im not the only one talking about 10-7. i wanted to check if there was any quick way through this level, but no the game actually wants you to clutch this hard 😭
You can use the helper feature if you want, but you're not getting any clear time.
I just reached World 10EX. Money Ball seems more like brain surgery than something relaxing.
I got this game on my birthday and finished it in a day, best day of my life tho lol
I need to figure out how to get the banana amount challenge on 10-8
Edit: okay Gon gon is the Key...for once
10-7 clutch was insane
What I really miss is 30 second levels, and there was potential for a lot of levels for that.
But other than that, this Super Monkey Ball was very interesting all along.
Also Cosmic Curves is just sliding down a toboggan under acid 🤣

thanks for helping me out on 10-7. hardest monkey ball stage ever?
Yes. Even Dyrude would rage here!
Ex Difference: ??? (I seriously can't tell what's different, sorry!)
I think they wanted to keep the background the same since this world is essentially the Masters ex of super monkey ball banana rumble.
The only difference here is a *massive spike of difficulty*
What are your thoughts on overall difficulty for this world?

How do you get doctor badboon
You need to play an online battle game once and he’ll appear on the shop
