Super Monkey Ball delivers chaotic fun with its simple yet addictive gameplay. You tilt the entire level to guide your monkey-filled ball through increasingly ridiculous mazes, scrambling to reach the goal before time expires. The vibrant visuals and catchy soundtrack perfectly match the frantic pace. While precision controls can be a challenge to master, the pure joy of navigating its wacky courses and the hilarious party games make it a blast.
i mean i saw the credits roll so by my definition i did "complete" it. i did play both the beginner and the advanced courses but the expert ones kicked my fuckin' ass.
the inclusion of lives, which the later games in the franchise removed, was kinda jarring as it meant i had to beat like 50 courses in a row on a limited life system. shit was NOT easy. not bad per say but it definitely felt too extreme, i think monkey ball 2 found a better balance.
overall it's a fun game but i think there're a couple changes they could've made to differentiate it more from its arcade counterpart.

Has more than enough content to satisfy the arcade design. The controls are also just difficult enough to make you feel like you did something wrong instead of the game being cheap.
But none of that matters because the best part of the game is the minigames, and the best minigame is Monkey Billiards.

Não tenho boas recordações desse jogo. Olhando sob a perspectiva atual, reconheço que era um jogo razoável para a época, mas definitivamente não me conquistou. O jogo é excessivamente difícil e sua trilha sonora me irritava muito quando criança. Apesar disso, esteticamente é um jogo bem bonito e que pode agradar alguns.
Fun game but damn I am not good enough for expert mode lol. Beginner and advanced were ez breezy, then expert just smacks you in the face difficulty wise. Didnt have the motivation to finish it.
Also its kinda dumb you have to do all the levels in one go, you cant save and take breaks. The life system is also really dumb, had to find a cheat for x99 lives on expert because it was impossible otherwise.
