The Bottom Line

Labyrinth/Marble Madness hybrid with a unique platform twist, based on the Sega arcade game of the same name. Players control not a character, but tilt the entire environment to guide their "monkey ball" to the goal. Super Monkey Ball's "Main Mode" is constructed of more than 110 different levels of various difficulty, most of them taken from the arcade game. Players begin their monkey adventure going through these different levels on various settings of difficulty. There are an initial 10 Beginner levels, 30 Advanced, and 50 Expert, as well as extra versions on top of it all. A smattering of multiplayer modes rounds off the package.
