    One of my favorite games of all time. Not to toot my own horn, but I'm kinda good at it. Wait... did I just toot?

      Thing I wonder about minor TH-cam Celebrities: Do you guys post on other channel's pages and just assume that people are going to recognize you? I would really love to watch documentary on minor TH-cam Celebrities. Minor fame is a fascinating concept.

      JazGalaxy
      I didn't post to be recognized I posted because I love this game. The large majority of TH-cam celebs are minor, including AVGN and those above him. Nobody is really a household name like, say, Harrison Ford.

    • @JazGalaxy
      @JazGalaxy 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Game Sack Oh, I know you didn't post to be recognized. I just wondered if, wherever you go, you ARE recognized by someone online.
      My post isn't meant to be condescending. I really do wonder about the lives of TH-camrs. It's a fascinating moment of time for civilization as a whole.

    Gamecube controller is the best controller ever made. It's the most comfortable controller I've ever used.

    • @adampoole948

      not as good or as comfortable as the ps4 controller is

    • @jtbrad
      @jtbrad 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I haven't tried PS4 yet. I haven't seen a game worth putting out that much money for yet. I'd rather just put that towards my pc.

      persona 5, bloodborne, spiderman ps4, uncharted, horizon zero dawn and FFXV Look good. There are lots of other cool ps4 exclusives to look into.

    • @BainesMkII
      @BainesMkII 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I want to recall that the original arcade Monkey Ball wasn't just an ad for Dole bananas, but was a tie-in to a specific premium brand. Sega would years later drop the Dole connection, and years after that would switch to Chiquita.

    • @TheBuckoJohnson
      @TheBuckoJohnson 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Yes, all this monkeying around is making me hungry for some bananas. Late night banana run, anyone want anything while I'm out?

  • @eishikibahamut
    @eishikibahamut 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I think the aesthetic is the biggest reason people overlooked it. I just remember seeing it in a store during launch and thinking it looked like a baby game. When I eventually played it many years later after I got out of college I loved it. I also missed out on F-Zero GX and TTYD, but those were more due to their just being an overwhelming amount of good games coming out on all consoles at the time for all consoles

  • @BlueTJLP
    @BlueTJLP 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Fun fact: Not the stage rotates around, just the camera rotates and the player moves accordingly to it/force gets applied to the player accordingly. I recreated this for practice :D

    @RMosher11 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I was at my local Electronics Boutique back in 2001 to get my pre-reserved Gamecube. It was me and about 7 other people one of whom was a Jockey at the Saratoga Raceway. Guy was a huge Nintendo fan but was legitimately like 4'8''. I picked up super monkey ball and used to come home from working nights to play monkey pool and drink beer. Good times.

  • @maddadwolf
    @maddadwolf 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Used to play this game and thought it was one of those "you don't like it but it grows on you sorta things" but looking back, it is pretty good. it's a bit like a 3D successor to classic Marble Madness. :)

    @Dylan-oh5ii 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    It's worth noting that the second one allows for you to tackle each level individually.
    Not easier to maps, but it takes away the stress of having limited lives, so the really hard maps you can practice and learn.

    Love that GameCube story mike, hilarious. I love the GameCube, my first Nintendo home console, I had a gba for years, then my uncle gave me his ps2, then I got a gamecube for Christmas, it was at the end of it's life but it was still cool, have fond memories playing Lego Star Wars with my 2 brothers

  • @ShanetheFreestyler
    @ShanetheFreestyler 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    One thing that really impresses me about this game is how all reflections are rendered in real-time, at high resolution, and the game _STILL_ runs at a buttery smooth 60 frames per second! Even next gen games would struggle with this! I don't know how this current gen is doing, but it sure says a lot about how AV could make a game look this nice on Gamecube while others couldn't do the same until the PS3 and 360, and even then would end up capping the game at 30 FPS!

      Noibat G-Darius is an absolutely amazing horizontal shmup, one of the finest for 1997. You should try it someday, and I have the perfect reason for that... the Darius series is known for its bizarre mechanical fish enemies, and in G-Darius, you can even _capture_ the non-boss enemies to gain extra firepower and/or block projectiles! Perhaps this rings a bell?

    the gamecube is the only console i've ever bought on launch day. i got it with star wars rogue leader. it's still my favorite console of that entire generation, and i agree, the controller is still my favorite of any console to date as well. it's just ergonomically perfect.

    Hey guys, if you like Super Monkey Ball I'd recommend that you check out Super Monkey Ball Deluxe for the Xbox/PS2, it is a mix of Super Monkey Ball and Super Monkey Ball 2, along adding new levels of it's own, having +300 stages total!
    It's pretty damn great, and also has all the minigames unlocked from start.
