    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.

    The biggest thing here is they fixed the controls from ghe WII version which makes the game alot more fun and less frustrating. This game is a good fun and I have always enjoyed it as a party game.

    I had great memories with Super Monkey Ball for the GameCube, so I decided to give this a shot. It felt a bit rushed. The level design was awesome, but the difficulty spiked super hard around halfway. It sufferers from the same problem that Sonic games do - in order to make it hard, they remove the key element that makes the game fun (going fast and controlling the ball well). Would not recommend for anyone that's not a hardcore fan.

    I hope that this game sells well so that we'll get future games in the series! Here's to hoping. The game is really fun and hope to see more content. Sonic being added was a cool touch

    This remake of a wii game shouldn’t be as fun as it is but you’ll find yourself trying endlessly to beat the trickier levels.

    This game is a classic that I haven't been able to play for more than the McDonald's demo allowed in the past.

    This is a ridiculously fun time killer. Great for party gaming and friends. I highly recommend a pick up. Made better with the switch for on the go monkey madness!

    If your into Sonic gameplay then this is for you or for the Sonic collector. But a plus is it does says there is Sonic once you advance far enough into the game.
