took super monkey ball and kinda squashed it flat. some fun levels here and there but the controls are just awful for monkey ball level design and many of the levels are just so dull and lifeless. features what may be the worst boss fights in the history of video games, too. lets not forget the copious amounts of atrocious minigames the original had to offer. the soundtrack is pretty good at least, and graphically the redesign isnt ungodly on the eyes.
