I love how he says he’s getting pachinko machine flashbacks but the last time he did the pachinko machine he did it first try with ease and didn’t even know it was infamous for its difficulty😂
39:30 Great question! The only stat that doesn't really matter in this game is weight. Every other stat is really important. Take Baby, for example. He is easily the best character in the game because of his high speed, max braking, and good spin. He's an amazing character for completing time missions. I hope this helps!
So bit of trivia: OOPArt stands for Out Of Place Artifact. Its an uncommon term reserved for items discovered that don't match the area they were found in. i.e. if you found the remains of a car in an ancient ruin it would be an OOPArt.
I mean, funnily enough, the baby has futuristic glasses on because it's from the future. Monkey ball lore establishes Baby traveled back in time in a past game.
Banana Blitz HD speedrunner here, speed is a really good stat, but being able to stop on a dime when you need to is important. Baby has the best combo of speed and brake in Banana Rumble, so if you want to have a character with super tight controls and slick movement then I would stick with Baby. Hope this helps!
I dont play monkey ball but id probably be a GonGon main. And whenever i would play online id say something cringy like "going, going, GonGon" every time i went for a huge skip
This was one of your best playthrough videos yet! I love the whimsical feel throughout the levels. The graphics for the last worlds were eye bleedingly vibrant dude 🤤 Very cool character roster too. But come on... Sponsored by Sega, playing as Sonic for basically 90% of the game... At this point, who are you trying to convince, Choc? Us or you? 😏😏😏
As someone who has been getting super into the speedrunning scene for this game, seeing this video is a treat. And since you asked, I'm a Palette main, although Val, Easel and Baby seem to be most effective for IL's so far
Im so glad you got more sponsors! Super monkey ball is cute! I actually wanna play it. I knew who ai ai was because of sonic all stars racing. (You should totally play it!) But on the other side of things, you're getting more popular! Your edits are funny and you have great commentary. Definitely subcribed to sidequest. You guys are funny and put a lot of effort into your videos. I'll be there when you hit a million and more. Never give up ~ Btw, also got some of my siblings to watch you because you're really funny ~ Wish you the best ~
It’s funny to see the monkeys all talk about going on the adventure and grabbing the macguffins, and then Sonic jumps in and does all the work in the gameplay.
Gah, I always chose the baby monkey cause of it’s speed, but honestly I think the more speed you have just makes the game unplayable cause you just shoot right off the map, so I suggest playing a character with average speed and good weight so you don’t end up flying to your death. (I tortured myself play the whole game of super monkey ball banana blitz cause I just kept flying off screen, trust me, pick the heavy or aye aye choc)
I used to speedrun Super Monkey Ball 2. Doctor feels the best to me, lower speed but way more control over your physics. His Spin Dash makes it feel like you can execute some of the tricks from the originals on command by just flinging yourself at a corner/ledge, skipping a lot of the extra work. There were a ton of frame perfect pause buffer strats in the original, but it's almost like you can use multiple consistent setups in this game because your speed is so variable on command.
I’d absolutely LOVE to see you experience the original SMB1&2! Truth be told, the monkey ball series has never quite replicated the sheer precision and tightness of those games’ engine since then, and I think if you really give it a whirl you’ll be able to tell the difference. In the case of smb1 you’ll also experience a nail biting challenge the likes of which you may never have seen before!! Best of luckkkkkk
Love that you foster cats. I work for a humane society running their foster animal program and so many people don’t realise how rewarding fostering can be. So many amazing people are involved too
My main in Monkey Ball is YanYan. She's super cute. In the original, I would pick Baby... unless my sister was playing then I would pick GonGon...... unless my brother was also playing then I would pick AiAi.
trust me i would adopt a cat in a second if i could have one. I had to give up my baby lucy when i had to move back in with my mom after i lost my apartment. fucking landlord...
"I'm down to play more monkeyball" and "I only played the multiplayer minigames" are going to make your life absolutely miserable in the future, choctopus.
yanyan has been my favourite the moment I saw her in Banana Blitz and not gonna lie I thought the Tri state area was a made place from Phineas and Ferb XD
Irony is that YanYan is faster than Sonic. 45:44 GameCube level inspired 49:38 There is already a candy-theme world in the 3DS. 52:47 Remind me of Piston, if I remember correctly 53:41 I knew it! 59:09 So many! 1:01:00 AKA Launchpad 1:02:23 Wavy paper warp 1:07:11 Tornado Ring *It's a black hole!* 1:10:41 WOAH! 1:10:49 Oh no, 3DS flash back!
Im gonna say It, Choc is 100% a liar. Someone who easily manipulates people. This is very clearly a Sonic channel. Sonic is in the outro, he somehow manages to be in most videos even though they are not about him. When Choc made a sponser deal with Nintendo, he played a SONIC game
1:03:16 No clue what kind of naming theme they use outside things of note in various maps in the Super Monkey Ball games (Dodecagon, for example; it's 8 squares that split into 8 mini-squares, then come back together), but I don't really bother with it much since i'm more focused on learning the map and stuff.
On the subject of "good character", I see a lot of people use Gon-Gon for top speed, and Baby for tight handling. Thing is, that's for previous games where weight was really the only major stat, and everything else proceeded from it. I _think_ Sonic replaces Baby in that methodology, but I can't say for sure. And on the subject of "how long would it take me to 100% this game"... I think the answer is "you won't". I can't make it to the last parts of Monkey Ball DX, and that's basically the roots of the franchise, so... Oh, and this isn't the first space trip... though the "God" angle is new.
Ah.... Brings back memories. The newer games seem more structured o.o When playing super monkey ball 2 as a child.... Some of the levels were complete bull- I highly recommend it XD
I was hoping we got some more Coop action. This has monkeys, and you just did an amazing Coop video with the DK crew who are also monkeys. But it's still a good video!
just hit me now, the sound JUST after a dash sounds exactly like the sound made when Death Fire is available to use in Dinosaur King (are both Sega so maybe this is why)
I know i'm not loyal sub of yours, but i would love to see you tackle my favorite Super Monkey Ball game, Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz Wii, it's one of the leash popular of the monkey ball games and one of the easier ones , but i love it because it's the closes one that plays like a platformer, you can jump and there are bosses, and if you do plan on doing Mini Games, it's 50 mini games, most of them aren't really good, But I think Monkey Wars is an amazing Mini Game, it's a FPS game and I don't usually like those style of games, but i love it. there a Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz HD for new console, but i think it's a down grade for the Wii one, the HD version controls better, because you use a controller, instead of motion control, but it loses a lot of it's appeal, most of the soundtrack is replace in HD, I've only played Super Monkey Ball 1, 2, Adventure, Blitz Wii, Blitz HD, Mania, and Rumble, and I think Blitz Wii has the best soundtrack, and Monkey Wars as also been remove in the HD versions, so if you ever find the WII version of the game, i'll been glad to watch you play it, if it's the HD version, I'll pass on it.
that level at around 37:32 i saw that you could possibly get to the finish from the start like he does and i got a 3.690 on my 4th or 5th try (yes i still have to get both the golden banana and the banana count)
I absolutely love Monkey Ball. If you're open to it, I'd love to see you revisit the GameCube titles, cause they are some of the hardest games ever made imo. Edit: Better yet, play Deluxe for the ps2 or Xbox. It has all the stages from 1 and 2.
Gongon was my favorite in the GameCube Super Monkey Ball because he reminded me of DK. No clue if there were any stats associated with the characters back then.
Literally hearing you talk about skateboarding makes me want to play THPS… which was more only skateboarding experience. I was too uncoordinated to balance on a board those had wheels…
Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble & Sonic Or & Knuckles since you can also play as him and friends. These games are always a ton of fun and challenging 😆

For once. I wish the 2nd world of a game wasn't a desert, forest or just a simple looking world. I'd love if it was a lava or ice world right off the bat. Spike up the game.

It's also a reference to that one level in SMB2.

That was a great video. There's another whole set of 100 stages, for a total of 200 stages in this game.
