Glad to see I did some of these things as a kid. I even have a replay of the glitch in 10:20. Great video, I couldn't even imagine these creative ways of reaching the goal.
Having only played SMB2 really, it’s so surreal to see monkey ball games I flat out never played or even heard of. I can’t imagine how hard it must of been to tas a game that, by the title, I can only assume requires touch controls. Also I dunno if I’m crazy, but I SWEAR I saw stages more then once. Not blaming you here, more so the game because the stage pattern was different, but I swear there are stages that are carbon copies and it’s just incredibly weird
Seeing as how so many stages in this game are flat out ported from Super Monkey Ball 1 & 2, I wonder how many ported stages use the same speedrun strategies in both this game and the originals.
a lot of them are radically different to even the TASes of SMB1&2. TnR has incredibly bouncy physics, even more so than normal, so you can do even crazier stuff. 17:09 is a good example of this. Compare that to a run of the SMB1 TASbot of the same level. This one beats it quicker, flashier, and overall just so much cooler.

I never noticed this before, but there are more old stages in this game than I remember. Sometimes they even re-use the same layout twice it seems. Also why are some of the easiest levels from the first 2 games placed in the last worlds of this game. Did they think they were that hard???

@@tornadotoss honestly I think people hate it because really only the stages and bananas are 3D rendered and not the characters. But in my opinion, the 2D characters look nice. They could also hate it because the DS only had a D-pad. But it's actually easier for me with a D-pad. There is no announcer. But the voice acting kind of sounded loud to me, so I don't see why people hate it. Also, it could be the artwork of this game that people find not so good. But personally, the artwork for other Monkey Ball games are creepy to me. And the artwork on this one is cute. I loved this game when I was younger, and still do
@@deletedaccount3187 Honestly, the only thing I'd have to say about this is that it's one of the more weaker ones *in the series,* but not bad at all. The visuals are pretty nice, I like the background and the textures are easy on the eyes. Not to mention that the music is quite decent and original, so much so that it was rearranged in the Wii game. The D-pad control scheme was finnicky for me at times, especially on the more complicated stages, and the camera angle can be a bit too much at times. The recycling of stages is another thing that bothered me, but it's not a major thing at all, considering that there are so many stages that it's difficult not to redo some. It accomplishes its goal as a DS game, that's really all there is to it.
@@ProfessorHeavy1 there is a reason why it's called touch and roll. You get way more precision using the touchscreen to maneuver through the courses. If the D-pad was too clunky or stiff for you, there was always the option of using the touchscreen as analog control.
@@WECKmaster329 at first I hated how the screen controls were set up, instead of making the perfectly rounded ball icon a stick a la Mario 64 DS, they decided to make use of the whole screen, making it harder to go from extreme to extreme ... Or perhaps not hard per se, just extremely tiring But as I played more... I actually started to really love the touch screen controls ('cept for what I said above) It is so precise and fast! more so than a stick on a regular controller, especially because those can tear down, have snapback, and drifting It really makes me wish for a controller manufacturer that makes a controller with a stick that works with a tiny tactile pad beneath it, and the stick is just a magnet or something, So like, kind of like those sticks they make for phones, the ones you need to stick on the screen, but integrated within a controller, that way, you can achieve guaranteed efficiency, no drifting, and an easily replaceable stick, since you'd only need to replace the plastic if it wears down, not the touch pad components

i love how the shortcuts are just as intense as the intended routes
I used to own this game and I honestly couldn't get past the third level. Seeing it cracked apart with frame-precision is very satisfying to see.
Starfish (Reversible Gear) was ultra obnoxious for being an early stage.
This specific game is super nostalgic to me and it was so nice to see it again, along with the super cool moves. Thank you!
simply one of if not the BEST TAS ive ever seen. thank you all. ♥ such a thrill watching it.
Magnificent TAS! Totally in awe at the whole thing.

This is one of the most underrated Monkey ball games imo
Considering it appears to have so many levels from the first 2, I don't think it's that underrated.
@@hypercubemaster2729 That's a fair point. It's just that whenever people talk about the franchise, I hardly hear anyone mention this one.
TAS: **perfectly hits the SIDE of the goal**
Game: *I'll allow it.*
Probably a glitch, but still hilarious
Incredibly well done, great job :)
It's Tool-Assisted Speedrun, wow!
That's awesome!
as a lil goober i couldnt get past ten of ice, but then 6 years ago i replayed it and 100%
The final world of Super Monkey Ball Touch and Roll reminds us of Space Case and Sinking Swamps from Banana Blitz.
nice TAS video! :)
Super Monkey Ball: Touch & Roll
What Super Monkey Ball Jr. should've been.
Me figuring out you can beat stage 1-9 by just holding up: *The biggest brain*

this game's difficulty curve is weird, like why is an early advanced level in the final world? and a beginner level in the world before?
and hard af levels in the early worlds? (starfish in world 2, conveyor in world 5, that last freaking level in world 6)
Dang, that water fall looked more realistic when I was younger
Facts
10:20 you can just clip through the floor like that?
Might be some collision glitch

I done a speedrun in both SMB 1&2 and got 5:35:56 and 752 milliseconds and lost about 21 lives because of Anthropoid and
As a kid I always thought how weirdly the levels in this game were named
Whoever was in charge of level names had their 1000-page thesaurus with them that day
Welcome to Super Monkey Ball
Wow this game ran at 60fps...
Great to see some SMD stuff again :D
Curious to compare my own times back then to TAS times

Wow! Wet N Windy remixes with Pirates Ocean from Sakura Edition XD.
Does the soundtrack remind anyone of Mario Golf N64
Awesome video:)
Can I upload this video on niconico?
Yes go for it! Just link to this video or our tasvideos submission page so people can read our notes!
Wow!
9:17 why did this look so cool???
What a TAS video. Wow.
Is this copyright music?
No this is original

An epic TAS on a quite bad game? Sure!
Hey, I liked this game! It wasn't great by Monkey Ball standards because of hardware limitations, but I still had fun with it.
