Super Monkey Ball speedruns are incredible but they're the most stressful poo poo in the world.

I think this is the first time that this Monkey Ball game has been run at a GDQ. It's not popular since as a launch Wii game the motion controls were, shall we say, not particularly good.

I hope this run makes people want to buy splatoon and/or a Wii U.

I have to be honest, as someone who hasn't played it, the run didn't do much for me.

Its really cool to see this same couple of runners from GDQs past playing Super Monkey Ball still. I think SMB is the only run I really try to watch every time, and it's always fun.

The best part of the Monkey Ball speedruns is when they are forced to explain the plots and events of the series.

I assume the developers didn't expect anyone to play past World 1.

or jumping really

the whole reason monkey ball is good is because you are a ball

and you are navigating through tough puzzles

if you can jump over them who cares

I dunno the jumps are pretty cool though; it's a nice chance of pace
