I actually never finished this game before, but honestly, from the experience my sister played through this game, this game is such an odd entry for the Super Monkey Ball series. released in 2006 for the DS, this game's visual art style seems to be more between Banana Blitz, and the original Monkey ball series. It also features some stages from said games, too (outside banana blitz). The game can be played with either the touchpad or the D-pad, which makes the game a bit more challenging due to the lack of an analog stick.

This game features 12 worlds, which for a DS game, is surprisingly huge. And the best part? They all feature 10 stages. How did the develops cook so well for this game, and none of the exclusive stages from this game was featured in any other Monkey Ball Game? I mean, some parts of the soundtrack have been carried over to Banana Blitz, but those are just remixes and whatnot.

This game also has a great (and slightly memorable) selection of mini games to play from. I remember replaying some of these with my friends especially Monkey Wars. Monkey Race, Fight, Golf, Bowling, Wars, Hockey (Which the AI is EXTREEMLY RIGGED for some reason), and Mini Golf. Most of these were inside of other Monkey Ball games, but I don't know. Some of the exclusives from this game are going to be missed lol. I also thought that there used to be a smash-like one, but that's the one on the 3DS that I barely hear anyone talking about from the community of Ballin Monkeys.

And that's pretty much it for this review. I'll give it three stars because while it ain't the best Monkey Ball game, it's a pretty solid one for the very least.
