    Also something about Monkey Ball which you probably won't see. But alas, it's Monkey Ball on the GBA. A weird game that pushes the system to the limits and might look impressive at a glance, but is it any good? Let's fine out!

    My favorite part about Super Monkey Ball Jr. is, not only because it's Monkey Ball on my favorite handheld, but how it has a cheat to lower the resolution, calling itself "Super Blocky Ball" poking fun about how low the resolution will get, but it makes the game run far better. I used the cheat every time I played that it was ingrained in muscle memory
    Turning off the music gives the performance a small boost too (presumably because the GBA uses CPU cycles to produce music), iirc the speedrunning boards has a tab on whether or not you had the music on or not

    Fun fact: there's a little cheat code for those who want a bit more performance out of the game. Enter left, left, right, right, down, down, and A on the title screen to activate what said title screen calls "Super Blocky Mode", which reduces the resolution of the main game and the golf game from 240*160 down to 240*80.

    • @PhirePhlame
      @PhirePhlame Před rokem

      Another such cheat is Down, Down, Up, Up, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, and A; which the game calls "Super Enable All". It's your standard full-unlock cheat.
      If you notice, it's similar to the Konami Code, which the game also accepts as a third cheat! The result: "Super Nice Try".

    I sort of love this game. If you get enough points you can buy infinite continues, and all those difficult levels become pretty enjoyable when you don't need to worry about getting a game over. It's a fairly cheap game too, I recommend it.
