Why tf does this game have so much content packed in it’s insane

This game is just really great, a huge love letter to the monkey ball series and a great way to experience previous Monkey Ball titles imo. Sure the physics aren’t quite what they were originally, but they’re still fun and super bouncy and addictive so as far as I’m concerned I still had a lot of fun with this. 2’s story mode has a lot of highlights and surprisingly not a whole lot of frustration (well, outside of the clock tower level personally. That entire level and all stages associated with it can go dive under a tractor for all I care). On top of Monkey Ball 2’s campaign, you can the stages and challenge modes from 1 2 and deluxe with all different difficulty styles (which is, you know, a lot), a heap of cosmetic options including additional playable characters like Sonic, a heap of party games that all feel great to play apart from Monkey Targets for obvious reasons, sure the story mode presentation could’ve been better and sure the physics could be tweaked some more to deliver something even better, but for what this is, this was a lot of fun to play.

Also you can play as lil Kazuma Kiryu in a lil ball. The dame da ne man himself!
