Item Description

Tilt the world, not the monkey. That single idea, guiding a ball by tipping the whole stage around it, is why Super Monkey Ball became one of the most addictive games of the GameCube's launch. It started life in Japanese arcades as Monkey Ball, a cabinet on Sega's NAOMI hardware controlled with a banana-shaped joystick, and after the Dreamcast's exit Amusement Vision and director Toshihiro Nagoshi brought an expanded version home as Sega's first game for a Nintendo home console.

The main game is pure, escalating skill. AiAi, MeeMee, Baby and GonGon each roll inside a clear ball across floating mazes, narrow bridges and moving platforms, racing a ticking clock to the goal while scooping up bananas for extra lives. The Beginner, Advanced and Expert courses climb from gentle slopes to stages that demand precise, feather-light control of the GameCube's analog stick, and clearing the hardest ones without continues opens even tougher bonus stages for anyone chasing mastery.

Then there are the party games, the reason this disc lived in so many GameCubes for years. Monkey Race is a frantic kart-style dash with items, Monkey Fight sends four players punching each other off a platform with spring-loaded boxing gloves, and Monkey Target, where you roll down a ramp, pop the ball open into wings and glide toward a scoring target floating on the sea, can swallow an entire evening with four players. Earn enough play points and Monkey Billiards, Monkey Bowling and Monkey Golf join the lineup.

Super Monkey Ball launched a series that is still going decades later, yet many fans consider this first entry the purest and most challenging of them all. For anyone who wants the original physics, the original stages and the version of Monkey Target that ate entire weekends, the GameCube disc is the place to go.

About the game

Super Monkey Ball is a 2001 platform party video game developed by Amusement Vision and published by Sega. The game debuted in Japan at the 2001 Amusement Operators Union trade show as Monkey Ball, an arcade cabinet running on Sega's NAOMI hardware and controlled with a distinctive banana-shaped analog stick. Due to the failure of Sega's Dreamcast home console and the company's subsequent restructuring, an enhanced port dubbed Super Monkey Ball was released as a launch title for the GameCube in late 2001, garnering interest as Sega's first game published for a Nintendo home console. Conceived by Amusement Vision head Toshihiro Nagoshi, Super Monkey Ball involves guiding a transparent ball containing one of four monkeys—AiAi, MeeMee, Baby, and GonGon—across a series of maze-like platforms. The player must reach the goal without falling off or letting the timer reach zero to advance to the next stage. There are also several multiplayer modes: independent minigames as well as extensions of the main single-player game.
