best ball type game ever?

Creative platformer where you control the map instead of the character to reach goals. Tight controls and great soundtrack.

While the story mode may have some bad gimmicky stages, it is still very fun and challenging. The mini-games make up for any shortcomings as monkey bowling, target and billiards are GOATED for real. Amazing music as well. Last good monkey ball game
Takes everything the first game did and does more with it. More levels with more difficulty, more party games to play with the homies, a story mode that while a bit nonsensical is quite entertaining, this game has it all. The visuals and soundtrack are absolutely off the charts here fr fr. Absolute must play on the nintendo gamecube
Nearly perfectly executed sequel in every way. There's not a single flaw I could find that could bring this game down lower than a 10/10. Levels feel more focused and fun to run through, the added party games are a great side dish to the main game, and the story mode makes for a great introduction to the difficulty of the main game with infinite tries. Oh yeah, there's also WIDESCREEN SETTINGS?? You SHOULD play this game whenever you get the chance to. This is peak SEGA & Amusement Vision right there. (psst, also play F-Zero GX...)
Monkey go brrrrrr

craziest SMT game I've played
One of the GameCube's best and most unlikely hits, Super Monkey Ball 2 has great single-player levels and supremely entertaining multiplayer modes.
i feel like this one had worse multiplayer and better single player than the first.
Monkey ball 1 but better
This game is so fucking good
I think the only thing that would make this game better is a drum and bass or vaporwave soundtrack
Has more levels and minigames.
Classic game to play at college parties and kick ass.
i loveeeed this game
There is something timeless about this game. I've played it to absolute death, over and over. I've done some of these levels hundreds of time but there's something about Super Monkey Ball 2 that just keeps bringing me back. It's the perfect blend of smooth, fun platforming and visual appeal. That isn't to say that there aren't bullshit levels (Switch Inferno.), but the core experience of this game is phenomenal, and Super Monkey Ball the series really peaked here.
This is the game that is the most better than it has any right being.
The best Monkey Ball game.
Never gets old. Quintessentially fun.
losing a race of this game against one of my dumbest friends was the hardest loss ive experienced in life even if it made it so he wasn't the ugliest person in the world anymore.
umihara kawase but scarier
Had so much fun playing this game as a kid, such a unique concept for a game.
Perfectly designed. A game that encourages you to think outside of the box with each level and is infinitely replayable as a result. Also has some of the most charming music, characters, and visuals of the era. I'd recommend playing with an actual GameCube controller if you're able to because the notches on the analog stick help out tremendously.
Super Monkey Ball 2 brings back precision-rolling for another round, with a few changes. The camera has shifted, moving the ball closer to the bottom of the screen. This helps follow the rule of thirds and helps players see what's ahead of them, but it comes at the cost of making minute movements more difficult. Or maybe the physics were tweaked, not sure. Super Monkey Ball 2's level design is larger and more gimmicky than 1's, but it's still mostly fun, focused, and demanding. Levels are even more spatially interesting simply as 3D geometric art. The "challenge mode" offers bonus levels for players who can clear the mode without using a continue, and there are lots of extras. This mechanic makes Extra stages feel "extra" special, when players finally manage to reach them. OST is banger city, also. Great game! Oh, and there are more shitty minigames, I guess.
FUN EPIC ARCADEY MASTERPIECE WITH SATISFYING GAMEPLAY AND PROBABLY BEST PHYSICS ENGINE IN GAMING. ALSO A PARTY MODE!!!
Oh my god, I almost forgot about this one! I think I got this game for my ninth birthday also. Heck, I think that is how I got Mega Collection, now that I'm thinking about it. Anyways, the same friend who had shown me Banjo Kazooie, gifted me this game... And I absolutely loved it. This game, is still really tough and impossible today, but I still have a lot of fun with it.
There’s a reason this game and deluxe are considered the peak of the franchise. Easily the best physics the series has to offer, best collection of minigames, a fun story mode, and level design that brings it all together. The peak Monkey Ball Experience imo.
