Monkeyed Ball 2 - Expert and Master 

Seconded.

It's Also Known as Spiral Tower in Story Mode.

There was an official sequel to the frist two Super Monkey Ball games called Super Monkey Ball Deluxe (DX), but it was only available on PS2 and X-BOX. It contained all the Levels from the aforementioned games as well as a bunch of new ones, bringing the total amount of stages to 300. Don't get too excited though, because with how many stages the first two games have, the amount of new ones only clocks at 45. Also, they changed a few stages, the most notable being Master EX 10, "Nintendo." Because of copyright, the GameCube platform you roll on was changed to resemble a 6-sided die and was renamed, "Destiny." Also, they completely butchered some of the SMB1 Music, since the Space theme is gone and replaced with the Arctic theme, while the Arctic plays the Sky-High theme and I don't know why! Oh, and Story Mode doubles the amount of stages you go through with 20 per World instead of the previous 10, but the SMB2 Party Games remain untouched. Because of instances such as these, I actually consider this, and several other SMB2 hacks to be superior, but mostly because it's all-new Levels and the sound wasn't tampered with in the slightest! Hell, if you really want, there IS a hack of SMB2 that includes all the DX Levels, but it fixes the sound issues, though any Dole or Nintendo references remain cut for copyright reasons.

Deluxe is not a sequel. It’s an enhanced port.

It's almost a devilish choice for the Master Extra, but it's also painfully fitting.

People often complain about how the Bonus stages in the original SMB were too short for this track. Well, they can't complain now.

As evil/fitting as that is, it's also a reference to the original arcade Monkey Ball where the Master Level took place in the Bonus Area! Kinda wish Super Monkey Ball 2 did that for its Master Extra Levels instead of just rehashing the World 10 aesthetic since the second half of Master Levels also takes place there, but oh well.

Yeah, and the final Master Extra Level; despite being entirely new, is also a small nod to the original Master Level; being a series of increasingly thinner paths you have to take to reach the goal; albeit mostly invisible and much longer. And when you name a super-tough level like that “Oh screw this!” you instantly win my seal of approval!

it seems like a really good fit for switch but only if they use the joystick. It'd probably be a really good game on the go.

@J K SMB Deluxe actually plays better on the Xbox.

@Dominic Delagol I think these new levels should be saved for Super Monkey Ball 3 after Deluxe gets a rerelease. Maybe there can be an entire game where people can create Monkey Ball levels.

In all likely hood, SEGA probably dropped the series after 3D didn't sell too well.

Alberto Productions super monkey ball deluxe was actually ment to be 3 that’s why there’s different backgrounds and 42 new levels, but they never released it

Except Flow and Elsa's Castle From Frozen. Flow is a little glitched, and the name for the latter doesn't sound official. But the fact that there's only 2 that don't fit is still very impressive. Bites is amazing at this!

@@draco4569 or the final master level lol

@@draco4569 flow is glitched? How?

That probably would've been a bit much for the game to handle, fan-made hack or otherwise. But it's really cool that the Bonus Area was used as the aesthetic for Master Extra, seeing that the original Japanese-only arcade Monkey Ball used it for its Master Level too! And yes, I said Master Level in singular since there was only one Master Level in the arcade release, and it was the infamous Master 9 from SMB1, otherwise known as "Bridge Master" from Super Monkey Ball Deluxe.

Lol fuck you guy, I was like I wonder what name is that, maybe is something cool but no, it's a terrible type of cool name.

Lmao

That is, IF it ever comes out. I haven't heard any updates for months now.

​@@draco4569 He's been posting weekly devlogs and somewhat regularly doing dev streams. There's several people on the team doing everything from music to level design to physics. Its definitely still getting worked on!

I feel like you can fall into the goal on Master 2 but Oh, Screw this >.

The true evil is expert extra 8... I dumped 150+ lives into it before finishing it the first time...

Pepzii [GD] synchronization is very easy .-.

He's referring to Helix.

@@danielq2358 helix is in the base game and is master ex 8 not expert

You might be thinking of "Road to Nowhere."

Nah, I thought I remembered a stage in Tempest Storm that looked like it, but I guess I was wrong. Thanks though!

@@mostafabalboul3966 Tornado? Still figuring it out myself.

You're definitely talking about Tornado. Circular paths that ascend or descend. Road to Nowhere is Meteorite Mayhem.

Also, Road to Nowhere is an adaptation of "Wind" (Expert... 26??) From SMB1.

Yes, but I think this game is amazing in that the difficulty curve is smoother than the official games in both challenge mode and story mode. Even though the high end of that curve is higher than the official games. I remember in Super Monkey Ball 2, the first really hard stage I encountered was in World 3: Reversible Gear. The next few were in world 4: Launchers, Seesaw Bridges, and Arthropod (and sometimes Giant Comb). I didn't encounter levels that hard in this hack until worlds 6 and 7, which is much better. World 10 in this game is WAY harder than World 10 in the original, though. YIKES!!

Zayd Khan yeah they’re pretty aMAZEing

I love how all of them give you a ton of bananas and 200 seconds on the clock. Really balances out the fact that you start with a maximum of 5 lives.

The first custom levels made were basically kaizo levels which make the last level look like a cake walk

Nevermind actually got to Master EX7. THAT'S the gatekeeper stage.

I cant give them to save after a run so I can never play them in practice mode, did you have this issue?

I agree. Couldn't get past it. The next two stages looks free. I dunno about that last one though.

In my opinion, “Oh, Screw This!” Is slightly harder, just because you have to figure out what it wants you to do.

Oh, Screw This! is the most fitting name a stage has ever received. Longer and mostly invisible version of Bridge Master, which is already one of the hardest levels to begin with.

@@tylerlarsen1842 EX7 Underneath is harder imo.

@@TheBestPikachuFan Sword is just plain anxiety-inducing if you're not used to corner rolls. And sometimes still is even if you are. Hook is also nasty, because believe it or not, the entire stage is also on a SEESAW!!

@@draco4569 Haven't played Monkeyed Ball 2 in a hot minute. Perhaps I should replay it. Sounds fun!

Either use the Dolphin emulator (that's what I do) or use a Homebrewed Wii with an ISO loader, such as Nintendont.

Lane Vazquez it's the Super Monkey Ball 1 Bonus Stage theme

@@InfiniteBlueShells Thank you so much!

Depending on the hack, it will either make a new save file or use the vanilla one. I think this hack makes a new save.

One of the creators on the SMB Level Workshop remade Super Monkey Ball DX on Super Monkey Ball 2. However, since they couldn't force Story Mode to have 20 stages and only require you to beat 10, they removed all the SMB2 levels from Story Mode. Challenge Mode remains unchanged, though.

@@draco4569 yea but it has no party games.... we need the party games!!!!!

2 months late but E8 is called dark world because it's a reference to mario 64's bowser levels

Yes. Install Nintendont on your USB or SD card and create a folder called "games" on the root directory on your SD or USB, and download the ISO file for this and put it in the games folder, then you're good to go. U have to have a gamecube controller to play, though

Anyone can make custom levels. I added a link to the custom level discord in my pinned comment where you can learn more.

@@scrap651 thank you!

@@youtubekilledtrustedflaggi9274 wow they should've kept it

@@youtubekilledtrustedflaggi9274 how so? isnt the song from the same game series?

@@youtubekilledtrustedflaggi9274 that's weird. I would think they could reuse their own song but i guess lol

My thoughts exactly. Personally, I think out of all the levels, that took the shortest time!

Yes. It would have killed me. I'd have died in real life.

Brandon Johnson dude. It’s just an expression.

@@RustyMew I know. It was a joke.

technically yeah, i did release a version of the mod with ultimate over master about a week ago if you're in the custom level discord! discord.gg/CEYjvDj

What would I attempt for the bananas, maybe?

piguy314159 oh ok thanks

It’s a reference to Mario 64

You can't do checkpoints in Super Monkey Ball! The best way you could accomplish something similar would be to split up one large level into multiple levels that come sequentially after each other. The lack of checkpoints and the short+sweet nature of the stages in this game are part of why I love it, and love designing for it, though.

@@TwilightPB But isn't is frustrating that you have to restart the entire level every time?

@@Obstagoon862 not really! again, levels are short enough that it isn't a big deal :p

and change the bonuses time limit to 200 seconds!
