    This is a very fun game for my grandson. It is a great beginner game for the Switch he received for Christmas.

    Bought this game because it was closely related to the one at Dave and Busters. It absolutely did meet my expectations!

    If you've played one monkey ball you've played them all, but that doesn't mean it's not still fun and it's not still challenging. A great game for kids or adults. Although the mini games leave much to be desired

    This game was mega fun for the Wii and is a great addition to the Switch. It only has a fraction of the mini games, but the ones they included were the best! Worth the money if you loved the original!!

    This game is a cool family game where you feel like you're moving the world in order to move the monkey in the ball. It's a fun family game with multiple different multiplayer options as well as a solo player campaign mode. The levels are quick so not a lot of time is required to play, and the bosses can be a bit of a challenge.

    It brings back old memories, I just think it’s hard to control on a Nintendo Switch and the levels start getting impossible to pass early on in the game with the controls being difficult to use

    This was one of my child's Christmas gifts and he was elated to receive it and looking forward to playing it. He's been staying up late playing, but it's ok, hes on winter vacation. Put a smile on your kids too with this game. Recommended!

    Super monkey ball is so fun!! I love the cute characters and the pretty asthetics of the levels. It's easy at first but the levels get pretty hard. I can't wait to unlock Sonic :)

    While this isn't nearly as good as the original Monkey Ball games, it's still an incredibly fun challenge. There's also a handful of mini-games to pass the time.

    This Super Monkey Ball game is a HD Remake of Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz for the Nintendo Wii. While most of the game is the same the soundtrack has been changed and there are less mini games than the Wii versions. So parts of the game has been changed to make it difficult but there aren't any motion controls so using the joystick makes it easier.

    It seems like the graphics haven't improved over the GameCube version. The gameplay is still fun and easy, however.

    Really fun if you enjoy these games. A little light on content considering they only added Sonic, while taking away most of the minigames. Great otherwise

    So I played the original on the GameCube and loved it. I bought this one strictly on that alone. The only downside that I would say is the controls feel really loose. Most of the game modes are fun enough to play that it's not that big of a deal in a party setting but when trying to play single player it can be annoying. Don't expect much in the way of story though. If you played the original not bad memory lane but if this is your first time maybe rent first.
