That's why it seems so familiar, wow. There must be a very thin range of people who lived with the same experiences and to get the same references to Halo and super monkey ball, and who were formed for better and definitely worse by watching egoraptor among others.

And if you couldn't tell, i like balls. In games. I'm not gay. Maybe we'll see these in a Ball Games. VOL. 2. at some point? Great video by the way! I have been eagerly anticipating the next SD video since "Modern Gaming," and Ball games was fantastic.

+2 for Exo One and Switchball HD :) Paperball can be pretty frustrating compared to Super Monkey Ball and Venineth, while gorgeous, controls like wading through a bathtub of honey :( Here's some more from a fellow ball game enjoyer! - BALLYGON (monkey-ball like) - Beam (Switchball HD-like, but strange puzzles & settings) - Glyph (Exo One (gliding) & Marble Blast (general feel/controls) like with a stronger emphasis on open platforming/puzzles) - Great Marble Adventure (Marble Blast Gold like with A LOT of content) - Lost Marbles (Marble Blast like) - Marble Skies (Marble Blast Ultra like with jank camera controls that affect your movement and dynamic community set medal times) - Marble Void (Marble Blast & Switchball HD like) - Mini Rollers (Marble Blast & Switchball HD like) - Momentum (Super Monkey Ball & Switchball HD like with awesome settings and strange level design in a good way) - Polyball (Marble Blast like with large open levels) - Roll the Ball (Marble Game mixed with Getting Over It/Only Up's style of vertical level design) - Rolled Out! (Super Monkey Ball like) - Sky Ball (God awful Switchball HD like that no one has played) - Spectraball (Decently old Switchball HD like)

You forgot about one kinda obscure PS1 puzzle ball game: KULA World. I remember it being one of the very first videogames I evers saw, probably being around three years old and it has always stuck to the back of my mind. Might be an interesting one to include in a part 2. Also you play as a beach ball in that game, so plenty of jokes to be made about how 'deflated' and 'saggy' that ball looks >:3

[@RusticGhost]

KULA WORLD MENTIONED!!! I was obsessed with that game as a kid and is definitely the reason for my obsession with ball games today.

Yesssss. KULA world ruled. I had a couple levels on a demo disc (remember those?) and obsessively played them as a kid.

For what it's worth, my friend played Banana Rumble for a review and said he thinks it's on the level of the first two games off the back of really solid gameplay and stages.

[@TheBlueSuperDude]

No 'Balance' or 'Hamsterball' ?! Tctctc Loved this video, hope you can make more in the future

[@wormicular]

Not many comments seem to talk about it so I can say that Banana Rumble is a definite return to form. Has cringy story like SMB2 but the actual gameplay and level design is just as good as the original games. The new gimmick of boosting your ball is also implemented well (unlike the jumping from Blitz) and the music is fucking amazing. It also has a really fun multiplayer mode that's only bogged down by the Switch's abysmal online performance.

[@whiteroach3]

i got an ad for the new joker movie during that "the controls and the camera" segment... that was really fitting lol

[@a18yearoldonyoutubeluigi]

One video, 80k+ Subscribers, that is unbelievably impressive.

[@pQuiPq]

To this day I’ll defend Super Monkey Ball Adventure. There’s enough in that game that to me proves it’s passion (IE the unlockable party monkeys and mini games still stayed strong). The world building too taking the little we saw during the first two games and creating a whole fantasy world with new unique characters is no easy feat and if you try to accept what it is I think SMBA2 has some serious potential for a new game

[@Just.Kidding]

Same here. It's definitely not the main SMB games, nor is it trying to be. It works best when you take it for what it is; a spin-off developed by a third party, using the originals more as inspiration than prescription.

[@Bro-OpBytes]

So when you posted those stream recordings, I thought maybe this guy is a one hit wonder... I was so very wrong! What a banger of a video!

[@selfdeficient]

I regret posting those. Took them down. If anything they hurt the channel haha

[@azylan]

i have another ball game for you to add to your collection. Two of them, in fact. The Kororinpa games were a duo of games that released for the Wii. They used *motion controls* and the sequel also had a shoehorned story that wastes some of your time. However, despite everything, they ARE still ball games. Believe it or not, the motion controls were used in a somewhat innovative manner. Similarly to Super Monkey Ball, you cannot directly control the marble, but you control the tilt of the stage, but unlike Super Monkey Ball, the rotation of your Wiimote has NO limits. You can tilt sideways and upside down to make the marble roll onto walls and ceilings. Is it smooth to play? Not particularly, but you can still get some fun out of it. It even has a pretty high skill ceiling. (But to ever get to that ceiling, you would have to spend dozens of hours practicing motion controls...)

[@amosjohnson6348]

Please post more. Your content is so honest and brutal that i love it.

[@KremBotop]

Marble Blast Gold was my childhood, even with those frustrating gravity based mazes. I once downloaded a huge bunch of custom levels and tried to beat as many as possible. Thanks for this video.

[@ShellHg]

Im surprised you have such an adversity to the 2nd Monkey Ball game's story mode. The story itself is definitely strange looking back as an adult, but to kid-me it was just more characters and worlds to see for levels that I enjoyed a lot. I used to re-watch the cutscenes hundreds of times because I thought they were goofy.

[@selfdeficient]

Idk it's goofy but I just couldn't understand why they'd change it from 1 to 2. When I was a kid anyway. Nowadays I just seethe like its a huge deal for KZbin content but WE DONT TALK ABOUT THAT

[@Yous_of_thankses]

Ok, in defense of Marble Madness 2, the game originally didn't have joystick controls, and instead used a trackball like the original, but it was changed due to negative reception from test audiences, so i think it was just a case of the game being in the wrong place in the wrong time. It's a shame too, the game isn't really that bad, and it has some neat ideas, although as of now the only version of the game available is the version with joystick controls, witch sort of ruins the game in my opinion.

ON A ROLL 3D was an Xbox arcade side-scroller where you are a ball. it was my sons favorite game when he was a baby. he would make me play it, and then started playing it himself. its a very simple game and not really this type of ball game since its not fully 3d (ironic based on the name). very good memories with on a roll tho

Here's a bit more of an obscure ball-ish type game: Mercury Meltdown Revolution. It was a budget title for the Wii where you control a blob of mercury.

Have you heard of *Neverball?* It's basically SMB's Open Source clone made to be as barebones as possible, while also letting you do whatever you want with the engine. That includes custom levels. I'd recommend anyone here who reads this to give it a gander. The development's very sporadic because it doesn't have enough attention, even though it's a complete experience.
