Super Monkey Ball

Traditional Game from Sega, by Amusement Vision

Puzzle/party game and arcade conversion. The single player game consists of around a hundred levels and there is also a selection of mini-games and a party mode (up to four players). The main gameplay involves maneuvering balls containing monkey characters through the levels suspended in the air whilst collecting the bananas scattered about. The levels are narrow and twisting and incorporate unstable elements. Settings are varied and include a pinball table, a submarine and a movie theater. The levels are very well-designed and there are three difficulty levels to work through. The other gameplay types include Monkey Bowling, Monkey Fight (boxing inspired), Monkey Golf, Monkey Target, Monkey Billiards and Monkey Race (kart racer). The game's graphics are excellent.
