Even though some of these stages (particularly the really long ones) are kind of repetitive and gimmicky...this pack is absolutely amazing! World 9 is probably my favorite, just the visuals and the music are incredible, and 9-9 is a really insane stage!
The final boss of Ikaruga has deeply somber music. The game earns the emotional gravity for the battle by putting it at the end of one of the most demanding video games created. Anyone who throws that music at the end of their fan game thoughtlessly is going to just look foolish. So I'm very impressed that a freaking SMB hack pulled it off so perfectly!
This is officially Super Monkey Ball: The Lost Levels. The difficulty of all these stages is unreal! Not to mention they were very, VERY well-made! Not even Bridge Master or Helix could compare to this!
This is honestly my favourite level pack, all the levels are so well made and interesting to the point where I just can't put it down. Usually with Monkey Ball there's that one level that makes me so tired that I just need a break, so it's refreshing to see just how talented the fan community is for this series.
Just imagine being in the seventh circle of hell and being greeted with a single picture telling you "if you were REALLY poggers, you'd take this way fucking harder path"
This pack is masterful. I'd say the most beautifully animated and technically impressive one seen yet. I'd say the difficulty is a little high, but compared to some other packs it's nothing too bad. I think the levels get stupidly long though, and when your timer is 200 seconds, sorry your level is far too long.
Completely agree. I prefer shorter, challenging stages, kinda like the ones in the original SMB in both Expert and Master mode. A stage doesn't have to be super long for it to be hard...it can be something that takes less than 10 seconds to complete and yet it's extremely difficult. Wish there had been more stages like that in the later worlds.
Personally, I enjoy making long levels because I think that the variation makes them both interesting to play and interesting to watch, as you are constantly trying new things or seeing someone else do new things. The tension from the threat of losing progress also makes them fun for me. If short-but-tough levels are more your style, I recommend checking out Super Monkey Ball 651 or Monkeyed Ball 2!
I also like longer stages. I think there's more room for creativity in thoroughly exploring a level concept and making a stage look visually appealing. If you have a level that's long enough, you can also make how the level is structured be a creative statement in and of itself. You can organize a level around a strong visual theme like 9-7 Colossus, navigating an open space like 3-7 Ringfield, puzzling out when to use teleporters like 2-10 Shrink Ray, making a level too large to memorize like 5-10 Warp Dreams and 10-6 Trick Room, deceptively hiding where to go next like 8-3 Derelict, or requiring going down every branching path but in any order like 9-10 Apparatus and Master Ex 8 Babel. Short levels are necessarily linear.
@@DCutsman I think a mix of long and short levels is good, but too many long levels and the game just becomes an endurance match instead of a good challenge. It really depends on the level though. I mean when ya gotta use save states to beat some levels because they’re too long and tedious.. I get they’re probably fun to make but not that fun to play lol. Depends on the person too I guess
I often wondered what Hell looked like. And now that I know, I’m terrified. I consider myself extremely good at Monkey Ball, especially 2. But WOW, those master extra levels look dark souls difficult.
I have a question on how to set up the game. I have it running on Dolphin, but I cannot for my life configure my control (or even my keyboard/mouse) to get the game to respond. I'm just stuck at the title screen. I'm trying to use an XInput/0/Gamepad, or pdp. The configuration controls don't seem to work for Dolphin. Any help would be appreciated, I really want to play these stages. EDIT BELOW! Never mind, I was able to answer my own question! For those who are also as confused as me, you have to go to the Controllers tab on Dolphin and individually input each button on your controller. Including Joystick direction. Once I did this, it was smooth sailing. Mostly. Stage 8-1, or Lock On, is kicking my ass to no end. But I'm having the time of my life. This game is perfectly scaled to difficulty, with each world introducing new skills and harnessing your abilities for the next. And it's not even close to being the hardest stage, as I'm well aware after seeing this pack. I am so thrilled to be playing this, at long long long last!
Honestly the creators of monkeyball should make a new game with community levels and you know how many unforgettable experiences you will have with that many levels I’d stick around for the whole ride honestly 😁💯🤞 They could add new party games
Is there any way to find the music used here?
Here you go! :)

@@SuperMonkeyCherrim thank you comrade
I swore the final grande finale song was from Ikaruga

Very well done! You're so talented!

I couldn't get past the first one even after dozens of attempts. I can't imagine beating them all.
What’s funny is I find dark souls easy, but monkey ball pretty challenging.
@@casedistorted Its the Dark Souls of marble platforms with monkeys.
Am I the only one who finds Enigma scary? Like... REALLY scary? The music, the atmosphere, the world, everything about it just chills me!
I find it more cool and mysterious than scary, like you're inches away from uncovering something huge. But yeah the atmosphere there is great.
I loved the inclusion of Impact Man's theme in this romhack!
I like how at 1:27:14 the bouncing syncs with the music
30:56-31:20
That was clutch.

I’m assuming this is played on a GameCube emulator with a special hacked rom? This looks interesting but also torturous. I kind of want to try.
Whats up with that Enigma level. Is that supposed to be a secret or something?
2:05:14 Wicked Flight :D
Bro, these levels are aggressively difficult.
What is the name of the world song 6 of Super Monkey Ball Gaiden.
Night Walker (Undernight In-Birth)
How and where do I download this rom hack?

Does anyone know where we can create and design stages ourselves? Thank you I know I’m late :)

@@SuperMonkeyCherrim Oh my god! That was so quick thank you so so much!
Ball Posse game is similar to Super Monkey Ball.
