Super Monkey Ball Touch & Roll - A Surprisingly Good DS Game

[@Kardino]

So here's the thing about Touch and Roll's unlock system. You start out with just world 1, then unlock the rest in batches of 2 or 3 until you complete world 10. For world 11, you need to go through the 2 "secret" red goals in the game. Then to unlock world 12, you need to beat world 11 and collect 2006 bananas in the previous worlds. And btw, you can clear save data with a secret startup combination like the Pokemon games. Regardless, great video as usual!

[@Sonen10]

For that startup combination, it's both shoulder buttons and the four lettered face buttons (A, B X & Y). Apparently it's in the manual's 5th page. I get the feeling you'd have already searched for this intel online (heck, I just did a basic search to get the answer), but I at least hope it helps!

I’m tired of people pretending that Touch & Roll is a bad game so this video is very much appreciated 😤

[@marcinkuc9349]

I'm tired of cringey "funny" comments claiming that people with different opinion on a piece of popculture are "pretending" 🙄

[@marcinkuc9349]

Touch & Roll does look fun though ❤

[@super8bitable]

@@marcinkuc9349 No because everyone took Nick Robinson’s word as gospel even though he… y’know… Just look up why he got fired from Polygon. Idk why anyone would listen to him.

[@Austinator0630]

Touch N' Roll is actually the entry in the series to receive criticism for its controls.

[@callinater6133]

@@super8bitable what nick robinson got fired for is much tamer than you’re making it out to be. Asking for nudes is not something that should permanently jeopardise your career -_-. Unprofessional? Sure. But it’s hardly irredeemable. He’s even acknowledged and apologised for it. Why are you beating a dead horse that has already been settled? Just needless smearing.

[@karinyupinyan]

I too love this game's 2D art, it's pretty expressive

[@mattmarrillia4907]

I’ve always felt this is a really underrated game both for the DS and the Monkey Ball series. Also, hold L+R+start+select to skip the credits. I feel like I’m the only be who knows that not only it’s a credit skip, but can be used anywhere to reset to the AiAi shaking his butt screen

[@ChiefMedicPururu]

Even after playing a world the first time?

[@jackjensensplaythroughsrev49]

Always look forward to this channel’s uploads. One of my favorite channels

[@JoSephGD]

I've been emulating this game for a while now. Wanna hear a cool trick to get proper stick input for this game? Set touchscreen input to absolute, map it to left stick, map tapping the touchscreen to a button (for me, ZR) and hold it at all times during gameplay. While the other control schemes are nice and all, I recommend this to anyone who wishes to play this game in the modern era.

[@Yoshistar123]

I grew up playing this game, and this game was genuinely my favourite Monkey Ball experience, but was so sad it barely got talked about that it made me upset. I'm really happy you chose to talk about it, because I always love your videos. Thanks, Jonii!

[@ami4705]

This was actually the first Monkey Ball game I'd ever played. I totally asked for it for my birthday just because I thought that the monkeys were hella cute lol. Lots of nostalgia for this one

[@therealseanw.stewart2071]

Your devotion to Monkey Ball is inspiring. These are fun reviews for a series that I am barely familiar with.

[@nicheofwatching]

Needless to say, this video and its story touched me deeply

[@GregCubed]

Did it roll you as well

[@skribble-]

its so nice to hear some positivity about this game, i never thought it was bad tbh and i love the art style, this games design for meemee in specific may be my favorite tbh, great vid ^^

[@emilianoaventura5295]

God I love the limited 3D graphics of this game. I really been enjoying games that have low poly 3D enviroments, specifically Majora's Mask and TLoZ Spirit tracks...

[@emme0731]

I got Touch and Roll from an elementary school book fair pamphlet. Very underrated Monkey Ball, the new stages in it still have the fun of the first games.

[@animerehab]

i adored this game so much. i would occasionally go back to it often! thank you for covering it ❤❤

[@maccamachine]

Hell yeah new video! This game really is a cool little gem I still have my full boxed copy and had lots of fun with it as a kid! This game and the gba monkey ball actually look really good for handheld devices! Great video

[@BasileJodar]

0:16 Me and the boys watching the new Jonii video

[@emilychristian534]

I love money ball. But I started this game as part of my NYC subway commute and it was impressive until the credits for the first time. Which took 20 minutes of play time

[@TheMGMfan]

I believe the reason the voice clips were pitched up might be because they were compressed; I've heard that the pitch increasing is a side effect of that. I don’t know how accurate that is, though, so take this with a grain of salt.

[@justanotheryoutubechannel]

Could be a sample rate error, if a voice sample is recorded at 22khz then played back at CD-quality, 44khz, it sounds high pitched and plays back twice as fast, and since 44khz is more common these days I can see a mistake like this happening.

[@b3ckybot]

15:21 maybe meemee sounds like a baby because THIS IS THE START OF THE TIMELINE REAL?!

[@InvaderIceStrike]

Imagine getting the homies together for Monkey Wars on a late summer evening

[@crymhex1676]

This is a really awesome video. 🥰 I hope I can complete and release my romhack this year.

[@Big-Chungus21]

This was the second monkey ball game i had played, and one of my favourite DS games as a kid. I would play DS download play a LOT with my siblings and I recall getting angry at each other over the FPS game mode.

[@PinchedCake6]

IT FINALLY CAME OUT!

[@Howlabunga]

You were missed

[@Daroachie]

im sure the next game is very fun and good and you're gonna go "woo woo poo" at how good it is

[@joniivee]

Oh boy I can't wait to try it out! It's gonna be an Adventure, I'm sure :p

[@NotArmani31]

I thought you were talking about Banana Blitz for a second and was about to agree

[@NotArmani31]

Touch & Roll sounds... oddly similar to Sonic Boll... OH MY GOD SONIC BOLL IS MONKEY BALL CONFIRMED!?!!1!1!!1!1!????!!!!!1!1!1!

[@TapuArt]

oh shit, not sure how i missed this upload. cool to see more jonii greatness

[@manuelcordones1743]

Fun fact for those who never played this but find the soundtrack familiar, its because Banana Blitz's soundtrack are remixes from this game.

[@Amon_Gus799]

This was my first super monkey ball game I ever played and since the game belonged to my big sister i remember stealing it from her room to play monkey wars

[@ViviDotArchive]

New jonii video right as I wake up My day is gonna be great

[@SpinDash]

Super Jonii Ball is back, very good video. Also everything you said about Monkey Race is fair and true.

[@ghostham1635]

hey! loved this! I have always been a big fan of TnR! something I need to mention is that you can hold L, R, START, and SELECT and it will soft reset the system. that is how I skipped the credits, and it still counts as beating the world!

[@giangeegibb]

YES NEW JONII WOOOOO

[@austinmitchell2652]

1) I don't know what it is but you have a nice distinctive thumbnail style that I recognized immediately 2) this game looks awesome 3) I don't think I've watched your previous monkey ball videos. Time to catch up!!

[@luketeenybopper370]

I just got this game a few days ago !! And just found this video !! And I now I like the game even more !!

[@ParmMannREBORN]

Algorithm comment: I was surprised by how fun this game is! If the credits didn't pop up so much and were unskippable I'd love this game

[@Meefyyy]

You can skip the credits by restarting the system, the save occurs after tou touch the goal tape on the 10th level

[@MrDrvideogame]

Frick yea. Love the Monkey Ball content, great vid

[@mil3sperhour]

YEAAAH MORE SUPER MONKEY BALL

[@Jazmission]

This game taught me to have patience in games when I was 7

[@GregCubed]

Air hockey is such a banana blitz ass minigame it hurts 💀

[@spencergage95]

I like this game. It's no SMB2 but it's still a classic to me and very enjoyable.

[@ryanr27]

Apparently you can reset save data by (when the game is first started) holding L+R+A+B+X+Y

[@ChiefMedicPururu]

I do think it is a bit annoying to see stages from SMB1 and SMB2 being repeated here, while the more unique stages gets barely noticed at first. Also, Starfish/Reversible Gear in World 2. Can't wait for a base-breaker with Banana Blitz. I liked both versions of it.

[@b3ckybot]

OMG THE META 😂 WHEN WE PLAYING THIS AT AN ESPORTS EVENT?? 19:57

[@starmaster65]

Touch and Roll is the most underrated Monkey Ball game out there I love it so much 😭 (also you can skip the end credits by holding L+R and Start + Select all at the same time)

I didn't give Touch & Roll a try until last year, but it was very good! definitely washed the taste of *Monkey Ball 3DS* outta my mouth.
