The object of Super Monkey Ball 2 is to guide a monkey trapped inside a plastic ball through a maze to the goal. There are three variations, story mode, challenge mode, and practice mode. In story mode you have unlimited number of tries to complete a stage, and after clearing 10 stages a movie clip is shown followed by a new world of 10 stages. In challenge mode, you have a limited number of monkeys and a time limit to complete numerous levels of increasing difficulty. In practice mode you can play any stage already completed in the other two modes. In addition to the main game options, numerous party games are also included. These are monkey race, monkey fight, monkey target, monkey billiards, monkey bowling, monkey golf, monkey boat, monkey shot, monkey dogfight, monkey soccer, monkey baseball, and monkey tennis. The party games can be played by one to four players.

I do not own the first game but have played it before. This makes the first game look like a waste of time. Has double the content, more courses, a story mode, you name it.
This is a hard SOB, especially on the later levels, but the gameplay is so enganging and the physics give you a lot of room to explore and find ways to cheese it.
Not every party game is great, but a majority are, and they can all be played with other people.
Shoutout to Dogfighting. And Target 2 is just heavenly. I could play that mode forever.
This is all probably helped by the incredible soundtrack. They all take me back to a happy place.
Just so incredible all around, in every way. Even for an old GameCube game the visuals are just gorgeous.
Must play.
