Super Monkey Ball Facts and Glitches You Don't Know

[@raddaradda8682]

Lol ngl you got me with the 3mil hours joke. I did math, 343 years of super monkey ball is dedication.

[@Progamer1013]

3:45 THATS THE DUCK!!!! That's the "rubber duck" in SMB 2 Bubbly Washing Machine's basket out of bounds! It was hiding in SMB 1 the whole time! Crazy!

If you notice any mistakes I made in this video, please let me know and I'll keep updating this comment. Cheers. :) 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: 02:49 - Here I say that no floors exist in the Extra theme which contain any bumpers. This is completely wrong as Advanced Extra 5 is an extra stage with bumpers. (Thanks Toothy7564)

[@superragnol2972]

And also the levels with the master background don't have bumpers, but I believe there is a texture made for it

[@superragnol2972]

And the Sky High levels, the ones with that weird castle in the background have a bumper model that isn't used

[@Toothy7564]

@@superragnol2972 Sky High and Master bumper models do not officially exist, they only do in custom romhacks. Perhaps if we somehow get a hold of a in-development version of Monkey Ball 1 we might find what they were supposed to be but I'm very doubtful of that possibility.

[@georgem2768]

There’s a weird glitch on the Blur Bridge level. If you play the game in 50hz mode, pause the game and select ‘View Stage’ the moving platforms suddenly become much wider. I don’t know why it happens but it does.

[@herothehedgefox]

3:55 this HAPPENED TO ME ON A CASUAL PLAYTHROUGH AND I WAS SO MAD AS A KID. I might still have the replay saved.

[@WellBadPanda]

Interesting trivia! The only one I already knew was the 1 point on monkey target for landing back on the ramp, I spent hours mucking around in that mode. You also get 1 point for landing anywhere on the support structure surrounding the ramp. Another oddity in monkey target is that if you build up enough speed before opening your wings, you can dive underwater and then pull back to take off into the air again and continue your turn.

[@Toothy7564]

"In both the Desert and *Extra* themes of the main game, no floors exist which include bumpers." Polar Large (AX5) wants to say hi to that. Even so, nice video!

[@Goober13md]

Aw man! I knew I'd make a mistake somewhere in this video... Thanks for pointing this out though I'll update the description.

[@silverboxxer]

Goober showed me this video earlier and I didn't notice this either lol

[@JoSephGD]

It's Desert and *Sky High* that has no bumpers.

[@thesuspensegamer9778]

@@JoSephGD Heloooooo.......says Tram, from SMBDX.

[@bensmith2951]

@@thesuspensegamer9778, you are correct Tram in SMB Deluxe is in Sky High theme, however Desert and Master themes have no floors with bumpers

*pounding table* FOLLOW UP! FOLLOW UP!

[@lynxfangr]

Criminally small amount of views on this video. I don't even know why the algorithm is recommending super monkey ball shit to me now, I haven't played the game since I was 16, but this video is very well put together.

[@Meganarb]

This was super neat! Defo would be interested in another. Cheers for the fantastic video!

[@xtacoloverxx]

First off awesome job. I enjoy DarkviperAU and I'm glad you're able to do this for Super monkey ball. I personally can't play monkey ball because my copy for GameCube is messed up so watching these videos really helps with that keep up the good work man. Your new mic sounds great as well. I hope you make another one of these facts and glitches for Super monkey ball.

[@hexbug101]

I have another possible option for a part 2 if you didn’t know about already (though since you speedrun you probably have seen it). I decided to try the speedrun strat on Expert Extra 6 cause I was bored. While I didn’t get it I did manage to bounce off the first bottom loop and clip into the side of the tube. So that was cool and if you somehow haven’t come across it it’s pretty neat

[@CherryColaCake]

why does super monkey ball 1 remind me of chinese food

[@Pacowaka4045]

Me too!!! When I was little, every time I went to blockbuster I'd pick up this game and get Chinese food on the way back home. :)

[@SpikeTheHedgehog656]

what

[@NullyBird]

Great video, microphone sounds a little grousacious

[@PsychoBabble2168]

What's the story with needing dark viper's permission to do this vid? That guy's unhinged.

[@Goober13md]

I didn't "need" his permission, I just thought it would be polite to ask. I did the same thing with Summoning Salt before I made my world record progression video.

[@PsychoBabble2168]

@@Goober13md I just don't see the connection. There are tons of videos that show off facts and glitches that aren't the sole domain of this guy.

[@mrsharpie7899]

It's funny you say that; because of the horrible anxiety I had when I was a kid, I actually HATED playing Monkey Target 🤣 Sick music though

[@Maxxieuguu]

Uh. Doesn’t advanced extra 5 (polar large) contain bumpers on some of the moving platforms?

[@221Prohunter]

I absolutely love this video format, DarkViper is great and I’m glad you’ve taken inspiration there :) A sequel to this would be perfect, maybe even some SMB2?

[@charvari]

Is there a discord or subreddit/forum for super monkey ball?

[@Maxxieuguu]

Do another one! Please!

[@MrSmartyPants]

yes yes another one!!!

[@Maxxieuguu]

@@MrSmartyPants i would also like him to do one on super monkey ball 2. If he can.

[@cloudy7971]

oh definitely do a follow up

[@Maxxieuguu]

Yo! I like this game! But i can’t get to master! Cuz of those stupid slippery controls! Like. People say sonic heroes is slippery! But trust me. You have not experienced anything! Until you have played monkey ball 2 or deluxe for a while and then went back to 1. My. Gosh! (So maybe i don’t like this game)

[@hexbug101]

Sammy Kenobi try the glitch that allows you to skip to expert extra 1. Beating all 10 levels is still hard, but there’s no level that’s super difficult, and is definitely easier than beating 60 levels on 3 lives

[@Maxxieuguu]

@@hexbug101 i have.

[@DragonProtector]

interesting

[@htcthunderbolt]

why would u need permission from someone else to do a video?
