There is a Super Monkey Ball (don't remember precisely which game) tool-assisted speedrun on this channel somewhere. I think it was in one of the events from last year. Sorry for being so vague but if you search the channel videos you'll find it.. I think you'll like it
Awesome run, he's super talented. It's great that this video is getting so many views so soon too, it was uploaded one week ago and has 100k views, while the other Monkey Ball run on this channel was one year ago and has 180k, really shows people still love these games
this game is probably the closest I’ve ever gotten to speedrunning, something about blitzing through (blitzing relative to my at the time 10 year old mind), was so satisfying
If they did, it would be... Jungle - Normal Sky - Clouds in the stage Monkey Mall - Normal Sea - Slower due to the water Desert - Wind blowing Ice - Slippery Floor Storm - Normal Space - Low Gravity Monkey Heaven - Normal
This is incredible. Can someone explain how the pause strat works like I’m five? I get using it to line up with moving platforms, but I can’t wrap my brain around how it helps you clip over walls or skip through stages.
What it does is it allows you to hit the exact same angles at the exact same times to make things more consistent. So say you needed to hold up until a specific time, then hold right 1 frame later, that's not something you can physically do. What you can do instead is pause on the last frame you need to hold up for, then hold right during the pause menu and unpause. This isn't done all the time because it takes a lot of time irl to get the pauses even close to consistent, but it basically allows you to do things only a robot could feasibly do.

huge props to these guys' mental fortitude. keeping it cool and performing well all while on camera and in front of a live audience.

1 9 9 1 18:16
lol put the time at least
@@Ezrakii?!!
shoutout to the guy in yellow having the time of his life, genuinely made me happy and even more hype than I expected
Holy shit. I went to middle school with this guy! Congrats on the speed run helix!
The people who can speedrun this game at a high level. Are actual gods.
The people who can beat this without using a continue, period, are legendary to me. Speed runners of this are even mortal anymore. Haha
I love that he had his buddies there hyping him up. So wholesome
13:10
Devs: You can't just jump off the back and into the goal because we put a fence here!
Speedrunners: _How bout I do...anyway?_
This is like the most exciting thing from gdq2020 if just from the pure excitement from the couch
18:13 that man has been waiting since sonic 3D to shout that, you can hear the enthusiasm!
sooo, is anyone else here because Connor mentioned Super Monkey Ball speed runs on Trash Taste and the TH-cam algorithm hears and sees all?
indeed sir, praise cdwag and trash taste
nope
yep
yup and i am speedrunning trash taste
first time watching a super monkey ball speedrun! rlly cool and satisfying to watch
Alot of the stage shortcuts were things I literally did as an 10 yo. Others I struggle to wrap my head around as an adult.

Discovered this channel and the Speedrun scene some weeks ago and I find it really interesting. Much love
14:20 "Many have gotten stuck on this stage" YOU'VE GOT THAT RIGHT.
19:55 is so impressive. What a run!
When you realize, a game you played for your whole childhood has stages you don't know yet
That guy in the yellow is an absolute legend.
It's amazing seeing how pumped his friends on either side of the sofa get
I came here after Trash Taste said the runs were mesmerizing
same
love these games so much. an absolute joy to watch
Everyone needs a yellow shirt hype man.
Ayyyy, thanks for the Minnesota callout. Drive safe!
ALL PRAISE THE GREAT HELIX!
11:16 Aw, man. This stage took me a whi-
Everyone talking about the guy in yellow on the right but the guy in black on the left is on another level
Super Monkey Ball runs are so much fun to watch!
Very entertaining run, with a wholesome and skilled runner! Will be checking out that fan game!
Oh these are pretty cool bananas
NICE JOB, HELIX!!
congrats Helix! Destroying one of my favorite childhood games!
That skip to Extra though.
I never knew that this game had that underflow bug to allow that! That is amazing!
Amazing! This game is so frustrating for me. Sooo fulfilling this speedrun. Thanks. Haha
this game is probably the closest I’ve ever gotten to speedrunning, something about blitzing through (blitzing relative to my at the time 10 year old mind), was so satisfying
I keep thinking “oh no he failed the trick” and then he’s just at the goal
Monkey Ball is always one of the best runs, the people are the best, and the game is just so entertaining.
Watching this game gives me carpal tunnel great run
i love watching this game so much
20:42 that prequel refrence had me laughing
My grandpa served in world war 2 D day 2nd wave and he went from that to playing this game to relax crazy what a game will do to get ur mind off stuff
10:13 JUST WOW 😮
This game will forever be a classic.
My favourite moment here has to be Expert 3. That was awesome.
I heard this game was better than shin megami tensei let me see for myself
You cant compare those games
I love that I found this joke here of all places
I'm here to see how Jerma could have beaten floor 15
I havent played this game in years i forgot how fun it was
i love the happiness of the guy in the yellow shirt
guy in the yellow is living it up
The guy in yellow is actually helix, he's just using his stand to play monkey ball
Monkey Ball is such a great speed game.
who is the guy in the yellow shirt because he is the perfect hype man
so excited and supportive I love it
the other side-couch guy is great too
what good bros
I like the guy in yellow, I wish I was as enthusiastic about anything in life
Great to see some cool strats instead of just going fast
I know this wasn't mentioned but, the Level's Environment (Desert, Sea, Ice, Ect.) does NOT affect or change the Physics of the game.
If they did, it would be...
Jungle - Normal
Sky - Clouds in the stage
Monkey Mall - Normal
Sea - Slower due to the water
Desert - Wind blowing
Ice - Slippery Floor
Storm - Normal
Space - Low Gravity
Monkey Heaven - Normal
Long live Project M, indeed! Great run, great game.
3:29 READY? GO!
only ppl who played that game know how hard is that game
the guy in yellow came through w the selfie strat!
everyone needs a hype man like yellow shirt guy
These monkeys are flying at 250+ mph, ouch. Their brains are probably sinking into their feet.
Such an excellent game
READY?
These pause strats are wild!
10:14 holy crap
I love MonkeyBall speedruns
TRASH TASTE UNITE
There is no way I could play this game without screaming.
This is incredible. Can someone explain how the pause strat works like I’m five? I get using it to line up with moving platforms, but I can’t wrap my brain around how it helps you clip over walls or skip through stages.

That yellow-shirted dude is just happy with life and I vibe with him.
oh man.. hanging by a thread in those expert extra stages
Aw maaaaan
This game was so good
I remember playing this on my 3ds
we all need a friend like the guy in the yellow who wants to see you winnn.
the party ball giveth, the party ball taketh away
Great game, great crowd. What else can I say?
I fu$king love super monkey ball
WHY IS THiS GAME SO UNIQUELY ANXIETY INDUCING TO WATCH
Who is here from trash taste?
the christmas episode? cuz thats exactly why im here
I lost it at the warp glitch
After doing my final exam I need this
Dont mind me im just here for the clapping
Yellow shirt guy is so fucking wholesome
This is so entertaining
Dude in the yellow was hyped
This game is awesome, although I haven't played it in 15 years.
Shout out to that Star Wars quote lol
How in the hell did you beat this in TWENTY MINUTES? DUDE
helix is amazing
Bro this game used to piss me off as a kid. I didn’t understand that it was supposed to be a hard game.
Look at that lil guy go :)
Could someone explain the pause strategy? I get that it's setting up the positiy, but what do the numbers helix says represent?
The hundredths (or whatever you call them in English - the last two digits on the timer (58:xx
They represent the milliseconds on the timer in-game
Runners use them as a reference point for frames so that they can input directions
Ahh! Thanks for the info. I've been binge watching speed runs lately. Still getting used to the terminology!
i played this on Wii (Banana Blitz) and good thing i had the band around my wrist as i was about to throw the remote into the screen. so frustrating.
This game is 10x harder than the Wii one. Thats when the series started going downhill.
Wait, so Extra stages are redundant in SMB speedruns??
No
Its on lts only This Category
Get yourself a hype man like the dude in the yellow
