Out of Bounds Secrets | Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania - Boundary Break

[@XOTheRedPandaOX]

Thank, thank you, THANK YOU for doing "Inside the Whale"! I've been playing the game since I was 7 and have always been curious of what's in those swinging bio-domes. It was actually my favorite area as a kid. You can imagine how excited I was when you announced you were doing an episode on SMB because I just KNEW you were gonna cover it. It took 2 decades later, but now I finally got a good look on what's going on in there. Kudos Shesez, this vid is gonna be a favorite of mine!

To think that some time ago, Nintendo had taken down the animal crossing new horizons video for a bit because of the boundary breaking, but now sega is approaching you to boundary break their game... Crazy how different they are from each other

Those statues are absolutely fascinating. Even if they aren't unused bosses they must surely have a story to tell. Hopefully someone is able to ask an old dev about it eventually

[@frostsoul4199]

honestly, the art style of them looks very similar to enemies in Dark Cloud.

[@ViddyOJames]

RoboBowler (hope I got the name right) in the comments said "Those statues are actually characters from a previous game Amusement Vision did called 'Slashout'."

[@theburningbaron6417]

The Inside a Whale world was always so interesting for it's setting. Like even as a kid, I was floored that there were near perfect LIVING SPACES FOR HUMANS INSIDE A WHALE! Like why? But it wasn't until the remake that I realized the bottom contents were highway roads and a full on skyscraper. Like this whale must be some sort of monster that swallowed part of a city. Honestly, it's just so cool to look at (maybe not for any survivors living inside the whale though, probably less cool for them).

[@grahamharper8883]

Thank you so much Shesez and Sega for this awesome episode!

[@xSuperFryx]

Highly appreciate you comparing some shots to the original game. It’s kinda weird, the GameCube game honestly looks a bit better visually.

[@siphillis]

Higher budget, better art style. It's clear Banana Mania was chasing the more cartoonish look of the later games.

[@xSuperFryx]

@@siphillis I feel like the cartoonish look could look good if a bit more budget was put into it. It ends up looking a bit like a beginners unity game in a lot of places.

[@SECONDQUEST]

@@xSuperFryx I mean. It's monkey ball. It's a "big" franchise the same way Shantae is. Fans are the only people who know anything about the game. The budget doesn't surprise me. Especially since the first game needed all that product placement in order to get much needed funding.

[@theonlybilge]

@@SECONDQUEST Shantae is a lesser metroidvania that survives because coomers are obsessed.

[@SonikkuAtrue]

[@AE1OU]

Current Sega is pretty progressive now. Giving fans opportunities to make content for them from animators, indie devs and youtube content makers to promote their game unlike another overly protective company. Looking at you nintendo 🤣

[@HybridAngelZero]

It is so awesome that Sega approached *you* to do this episode! I can see why, the effort and details in these areas are insane, especially for how small the play area is in comparison. My favorites are the whale stage being an entire being an entire post-apocalypse future and the crazy amount of detail in the cooking pot stage!

[@edfreak9001]

This is a good enough episode all on it's own but I also just wanna say that the marketing on this game is top tier, reaching out to people like you and Nick Robinson, this game really does feel like a love letter to Monkey Ball fans for keeping the torch lit all these years.

[@HamazuraGOD]

Oh gross they reached out to Nick? :(

[@HamazuraGOD]

@@Conlinkin If this is the same Nick Robinson, he sexually harassed some women a few years ago, its what got him fired from Polygon. He himself confirmed it so please don't come at me telling me its not real or something. Sure he apologized and I do believe he's genuinely remorseful and has changed, but you gotta understand that that doesn't mean I _have_ to forgive him. I was a HUGE fan of his in his Polygon days and when this came out, it was like a stab to the gut. I just don't like thinking about him anymore

[@RoboBowler.]

9:10 Those statues are actually characters from a previous game Amusement Vision did called *'Slashout'.* Most of the statues (if not all) are basic enemies from that game. *That isn't the only Slashout reference in SMB:* Dr Bad Boon's first base (the one next to the Amusement Park) is actually in Slashout also the gears seen in the Clock Tower are from Slashout as well

[@cuthbertwensleydale9]

Oh man, I've been hoping for a Super Monkey Ball 2 episode for years and now with Banana Mania this is even better than I could've hoped for. I was always so fascinated by the backgrounds in the first two games and just the level of detail the developers put into them. The domes inside the whale were something I especially loved.

[@juiceala]

Nintendo: “You’re not allowed to break Animal Crossing, report video” SEGA: “Go ahead, break our game, is good advertisement”

[@Van_Crane]

They really do mean true when they say *"Sega do what nintendont"*

[@randomnpc445]

I wonder if the devs planned to send you this a long time ago, and that's why they put so much work into making an impressive zoom-out in some stages for the remake. Because, logically, you'd think that upon remaking a game, they would opt to do _less_ unnecessary work than what was in the original, not more. Either way, episode turned out exactly as I was hoping. Getting to see all the details of the background elements is awesome, and I'm happy the devs put so much work into making them.

[@superluig164]

Jesus Christ, the areas are so huge for such small levels. These guys are nuts, both the original devs, and whoever worked on the remakes. Just absolutely nuts.

Super Monkey Ball has some interesting backgrounds, so seeing those backgrounds in detail in this video was really interesting

[@otodusobliquus3836]

It's crazy how all out the originals went. In most cases (when it came to small and unseen details in the backgrounds) I would argue that the originals looked much better and less broken than the remake, although the remake is still great as it compiles all these games and does it's best to replicate those farr off details, but with an extra level of vibrant colors. I think the coolest part about this though is Sega's interaction with the community with this game. Definitely an awesome move on their end.

2:15 The Rubber Duck actually appears much closer in the Original Super Money Ball 2 on certain stages. One level I know this happens is Hierarchy. Fall off the right side and you can grab a glimpse of that cute ducky!

Glad you mentioned it thought! Not a lot of people do!
