This is my favorite game to play while on copious amounts of drugs because it's trippy as gently caress and has an awesome soundtrack https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKAp3x5Wcvs

discuss this poo poo and lament about how amusement vision is dead and we will never get another awesome monkey ball or f-zero game

Sorry, that was my cool way of saying "on Wii."

ok that's a very cool way of saying it but what's not cool is that any monkey ball that is not called super monkey ball or super monkey ball 2 is complete dog poo poo which includes every monkey ball for the wii or any monkey that's not on gamecube hth

I wish the games after 2 were better, the quality of the games just seemed to have dropped off.

because they were not made by amusement vision.

SMB2 is great but I'm torn whether the crazy moving stages are better than the slightly less crazy stages in the original. It certainly makes sense for a sequel, though.

this stage is called uhh... BIRTH *blocks fly out from every loving weird angle and you're expected to maneuver past them all*

Discount Viscount posted:

Like the speedruns show in a lot of them it's pretty much about finding the one block to bounce off and reach the exit immediately.

That's kinda why I'm torn. In the original there were many stages that had that as a solution, but it was like a lateral thinking puzzle after you'd already beaten the stage the straightforward way. In SMB2 it seems more like a requirement.

That or I loving suck at SMB2 since basically I played through the story mode and then didn't play much after that.

The audacity of some of the stages is goddamn hilarious, though. I love when game designers are clearly loving with the player.

if you're watching a speedrun to get into the game you're doing it wrong. the only level that requires any sort of speedrun techniques is anthropod because that level is bullshit and also one of the extra stages that's called like "bumps" or something

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.

leave this thread immediately

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
