Tilt the stage to roll monkeys in plastic balls—sounds easy until you overshoot a curve and watch them plummet. Grabbing bananas mid-roll is weirdly addictive, but those later levels? Pure pain.

Game Overview

Super Monkey Ball is one of those games that looks simple until you actually try it. You’ve got these monkeys trapped in plastic balls, and you tilt the stage to roll them toward the goal—sounds easy, right? Nope. The physics are weirdly precise, and one wrong move sends your poor monkey tumbling off the edge. The first time I played, I spent five minutes just trying to get past a slightly curved ramp.

Bananas are scattered everywhere, and grabbing them feels satisfying, especially when you barely snag one mid-roll. The levels get brutal fast—Expert mode has some truly sadistic designs—but unlocking the EX and Master stages makes the struggle worth it. And if you need a break from the main game, the mini-games are surprisingly fun. Monkey Bowling is way more chaotic than it should be.

Oh, and playing split-screen with friends? Pure chaos. Someone always ends up screaming as their monkey plummets into the void.
