You sayin' I like dubs?!?
just wanna say that while sega has done (a lot) of really stupid poo poo over the years sonic boom the game was made by ex naughty dog ppl and not sonic team so they can't really be held 100% responsible for it being total garbage

also that monkey target is the true mans monkey ball multiplayer mode

Don't need a holster if you never stop shooting.

Monkey Ball 2 was extremely good and in every way an improvement on the first. Beating Master Level within 5 lives is still a point of pride for me.

Too bad every one they made afterwards was pretty much dogshit

Let me take you for a ride.
I've never played any of the monkey balls but they look like fun. Reminds of Billy Hatcher for some reason, even though they are nothing alike.

Nah, the original was so much better than 2, it's not even funny. 2 relies almost entirely on gimmick levels, but 1 was straight up challenge.

1 was literally a port of an arcade game and the level design shows it in that you basically won't be able to finish expert until you unlock unlimited continues

I also like this game enough to actually beat it legit, got to the special gamecube level and everything. I think by that point I had 99 lives though.

Monkeyball 2 was the best Monkeyball and an all around great game but the first one had a couple of things going for it: It didn't have as many gimmick levels that aimed for form over function, and monkey target was cooler.

I actually really liked the gimmick levels in monkey ball 2. There's something fun about being a small monkey in a ball that gets sent flying at 999mph by gigantic zooming around abstract parts literally bigger than skyscrapers

These games are pretty good on mobile platforms because you tilt the whole device to tilt the world. They're also great for very short bursts.


The new one is a bad peggle clone though.

I'd always bring my gamecube home for the holidays and play monkey target with my family. I would pay for a whole monkey target game like it was done in monkey ball 2. just listen to this loving chill music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCVI95S1t9M&list=PL731FB731C8B2C019&index=21

This is a game where you get eaten by a whale that's eaten entire cities and then afterwards your stages take place entirely over a washing machine

I never played the second one but I loved the first. Also the arcade controlled with a banana, how could you not love that?



I may have to pick up a copy of 2 now g0lbez, simply due to you championing it.

monkey baseball was loving horseshit, you could just bean the batter and it would be counted as a strike and there was nothing the batter could do to stop it
