- Super Monkey Ball 2 is often considered the best title in the franchise, packed full of party games, the traditional challenge mode, and an epic, gripping, and emotional story mode in which AiAi and friends have to defeat the nefarious Dr. Badboon. In this video, Jonii finally takes a look at Amusement Vision's final GameCube classic.

5:30 Big time frick up Sir!! Aiai and Meemee aren't married yet, and Baby comes from the future. It says all this on the exact manual page you show like 20 seconds later!!!
Other than that, solid video matey! We should get in touch.
Ope! You're totally right. I don't know how I didn't catch that, we even use the same manual page in the SMB1 video. I'm glad you pointed this out to me before I did Super Monkey Ball Adventure, because I'd always thought that that game retconned things when it absolutely does not.
Thanks though! I'm glad you enjoyed it and I'd love to get in touch. :D Feel free to hmu on Twitter anytime.
Mine i thought said they were married

@@joniivee I find it funny how Baby came into the past to reconnect his soon-to-be mother and father, but didn't take into account on Dr. Bad-Boon's presence... if Bad-Boon succeeded, it would've ended in a similar fashion to how Sonic vanished via Time Paradox in the Chaos Emerald story arc from AoStH: czcams.com/video/C-gBJ5aNCJ0/video.html
Though I will give the later Monkey Ball games some credit, they at least gave Baby a visor to help show that he's from the future: cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/items/1061730/1def549c3b163f7030e5a613be5d3f56d51d6549.jpg
Monkey Boat was the funniest thing ever when my buddies and I played it the first time. We were all so confused lmao
Just played for the first time and it's SO GOOD but also insanely hard at times
Oh absolutely, it's a super punishing game but it remains fair, which keeps me coming back! Glad to hear you're getting into it.
Also wild to see you here, love your stuff. Used to watch regularly on my old account. :D
You are now a monkey ball player
Banana mania will give you a chance to catch up
Didn't expect to see you here
Dolphin is great
This video has been a blast to work on! Even with the setbacks along the way, I'm particularly proud of how this came out.
It came out so great, dude! I think this is the best thing we've done together, although Yoshi's Story is fierce competition. :D
just got this game and this makes me really excited to explore all the levels and modes. this is also my first monkey ball game!
This really is the perfect game. Both racing party games are actually two of my favourites, and even though I think the mini golf in the first game worked better for this game I think standard golf is serviceable here. The only party game I'm not a fan of myself is the Soccer one but the rest are great in my opinion. Definitely keen for the remake!
This is really well made. Very informative and funny. You should see if there are any Super Monkey all groups on Discord/Facebook etc that you can advertise this to
Thanks so much, Matt, I'm glad you liked it! Been spreading it wherever I can
My grandma gave me super monkey Ball 2 for the GameCube when I was 4 years old, I loved this game so much as a child and I still do to this day, I can't wait to get bananamania
In Banana Mania, the star power up in Monkey Race is now used as a quick boost like a mushroom from Mario, but shorter and faster.
WAY better than the chaos that old Star could cause.
got nostalgic for super monkey ball 2 after the nintendo direct! great video!!
Thanks a ton! I'm hyped for the new game :D
Very well done! You managed to keep it entertaining the whole way through! Also fun fact: Ei Ei Poo was introduced as a spell in SMB1, but only in the Japanese Manual.
Thanks so much! I didn't know that tidbit, it's wild that they set up the lore that far back.
"Magical spell is Ei-Ei-Poo!"
That brings back memories. I never played Monkey Ball 2, but I did play Deluxe.
It was also in Super Monkey Ball Adven- *gunshot*
GOD THE LAST TIME I HEARD THE GAMECUBE CONSOLE MENU SOUND EFFECTS, I WAS SEVEN YEARS OLD AND IT WAS 2009.
This is already shaping up to be a FANTASTIC video.
Wow, this video is pretty well made for a channel with less than 1k subs. Surprising. I managed to stumble upon your channel when scouring around the internet looking for info on retro games I'm looking to add to my collection.
still shocks me how polished your videos are. amazing video as always
I was excitedly waiting for this! Great way to end the week!
I'm so happy to hear that! It took longer than we wanted, but we're happy to have it out. :D Hope you enjoy it.
Ei-ei-poo is spelled in Japanese as エイエイプー, and in Japanese it is much easily recognizable as a pun on the word "ape".
This video was dope, great quality and really well made. Good stuff!
Thanks so much!
This was a very well made and funny video! I was so shocked (and sad tbh) when I saw the views. You definitely deserve more, this video was very high quality and I will definitely be watching more of your content! :))
The Gamecube UI is so beautiful. I love even sounds a lot. It's very timeless. Reminds me of something from a Stanley Kubrick movie.
This video is wildly entertaining, I love your editing skills and voice!! Instant subscription :D
I liked this game a lot but the one thing I find myself preferring the original for is the level design. It just prefer the greater emphasis on precision in that game, which I found was much more fun than 2's emphasis on chaotic moving parts. A lot of levels in 2 feel to me more like showcases than they do actual stages, to be honest.
And for your comment on race mode: the physics feel weird because they're different from the base game's. Most notably, is there's lack of air control and the different acceleration mechanics are a lot more slippery.
Lol, somebody sucks really hard at Monkey Race 2. I’ve played Super Monkey Ball 2 for long over a decade and have never had too much trouble doing well in Monkey Race 2.
That aside though, this was a great review and I pretty much agree with everything else you said about Super Monkey Ball 2.
I don't know what it is for me. xD I'm pretty good at a good handful of the other minigames but I've never taken well to Race and Golf.
Thanks for the kind words either way, I'm happy you enjoyed this one!
16:37 Gotta love punching with your massive FIIIIEHSTT.
Whoa can't believe I missed this one. Awesome video, once again!
AAAAAAAA IM BINGING AS MUCH MONKEY BALL CONTENT AS I CAN and this video was really good thank you 🥰
Maybe they’ll remove the bumpers on Banana Mania. Also, that bananas in a circle stage that replaces the AV logo, that might be the new layout of speed desert.
AiAi is vibing 🥺💚
"It's like landing a Falcon Punch in Smash Bros."
MAKE WAY FOR THE AIAI PUNCH!
oh yeab but in the monkey ball 2 engine, the moving parts start immediately instead of after brian matt saying "ready"
If Banana Mania's Monkey Dogfight doesn't have Multiplayer AND 8 player games then i'll be very dissapointed
Absolutely loved this video, should have 10'000 views by now
Lots of memories in Monkey Fight. Gonna try to relive it in Banana Mania.
And yes, I have played Crazy Taxi on the Dreamcast, those were the days
That GameCube boot up intro made me so nostalgic!
Great video! Really entertaining, amazing editing, and super funny!
Everybody gangsta until someone breaks out the big boy fist 😤
Honestly loved Monkey Baseball and I'm not entirely sure why 😂
Literally same and I despise baseball irl 💀
Kid me had an obsession with Monkey Race
The bumpers btw are also wayyy more simple than you think since you can just go straight through most of the patterns
Also did you know there’s a bug? If you hit someone with the polygon ball and then they use the giant ball, they’ll start bouncing higher and higher until they shrink or the polygon runs out
Speaking of bugs my younger bro accidentally found that in the battery map in Monkey Dogfight, if you aim downward in the grooves at the bottom of the map and hold the speed boost button you’ll eventually clip out of the map
5:26 I LIKE TO PLAY AS MEEMEE TOO!
Allow me to summarize needs to be a soundbite!
I know Super Monkey Ball 2 is amazing and it’s so nice that it’s getting remade but… Super Monkey Ball 3D though..
It's a great game but I prefer the purity of the first game. The story mode and the switches in some of the levels just feel a bit unnecessary. Still love it though.
Monkey ball is video game perfection.
Amazing video sir!
Yay you’re back!
I’m back after the remaster announcement, FINALLY
i am the monkey boat time attack enjoyer. hope that clears things up for you :)
Honestly monkey ball 1 and 2 have to be my favorite GameCube games and I know I’m pre ordering banana mania
I love smb racing
I think it's interesting how he says leisure
Ya know when people say that when you're having fun time flys... Well this felt like ten minutes
This is one of the best complimets to receive on a video like this! Thanks a bunch. :D
@@joniivee no problem just keep making great videos!
Sick video, i love me some smb2
this game really is perfect
Love the videos :)
EiEi Podcast approves of this video!
What did you think of the Banana Mania gameplay footage they showed on the Japanese monkey ball twitter?
It looks great to me! Hard to know how the physics are without playing but they seem to be nailing every other aspect. Super excited.
The first game had magos growing off of the goal in the grass theme and ladybugs in the same theme how would they starve without bananas?
My cousins favorite was monkey dogfight monkey boat and baseball
21:50 did they build Super Smash Bros off of Super Monkey Ball!? It looks just like smash right there, lol. Like the same.. game engine? Which I guess would just be the dolphin / gamecube dev kit.
At 14:24 the background music smoothly transitioned from the Beginner to the Expert racetrack theme, which I've never heard before. Did you do that while editing or is it part of an official soundtrack?
Anyway, good stuff here, I enjoyed it all the way through!
Editor here! Yes, that was done in the audio editing phase. I spent a long time editing just the audio before starting on the video side of things, and one challenging part is getting the music to transition in a cohesive way with the dialogue to keep things fresh. There is a lot of automation going on behind the scenes to keep everything audible as well. I'm happy you caught that! All music here is ripped directly from the game and don't have define endings, so I kind of have to improvise with a variety of effects. Glad you enjoyed it. :)
The quality of your videos is just far too impressive! If you don't mind me asking, which editing software do you use?
Thank you very much! I use Vegas although a lot of videos edited by my friend Will (like this one) use Adobe Premiere instead.
Monkey Ball
_2?_
Yo this is an amazing video for such a small channel! You’re gonna get big some day
Yo thanks so much!
@@joniivee ay yo no problem! this is sheer quality right here, and deserves to be highlighted
Finally!
this whole series is great content thank u (love the capitalist society jokes too lol)
Are you going to cover the iPhone version? I heard it was really good.
You should have more views, your script writing is noice and your voice is BUTTERY AS FUCK HHNNNGHHHHHHHH
Too bad they never added 5-Pin Bowling, I played it on a trip to Canada and way prefer 5-pin to 10-pin
Solid. Entertaining. Thumbsup :thumbsup:
Where the fuck is the Year of Luigi video Jon. You promised me an arm and a leg otherwise.
I told you people before, I'LL HAVE THE RENT WHEN I HAVE IT.
Ei ei poo from smb adventure. Also use custom pack that unlocks character selection
Billy Ray Cyrus made the cut
Is it really worth covering Deluxe? It's more or less 2 with courses from the first game and some new ones added in. As someone who only ever played Deluxe, I don't even remember it having any different party games.
Deluxe doesn't warrant as in depth of a look but it is historically significant as well as being a technical oddity so it definitely warrants a look imo
Of course you pick MeiMei to play as. Soyboy.
‘Amusement vision’s final gamecube classic.’
Fzero gx is ready to kick your shit in. Play that game and it will…kick your shit in anyway.
While smiling. And you'll ask for more.
MEEMEE STANS RISE UP
It didn't have monkey target! Massive fail!!!!!!!
Spider man
Video started off ok but i found the jokes to be a bit much at times.
24:34
Because ei ei poo is funny
MonkE 2
10,000th view be like
monkey target 2 is superior
damn if you don't think super monkey ball would be suitable for a racing game then i hope you never play F-zero GX lmao
