    A super fun new SMB release. Loaded with tons of content, it will never get old for anyone that is a fan of this series. Side missions, online rankings and more always provide an additional challenge. Fun art book included with the game.

    Good remake of the first two Monkey Ball games. Physics seem a bit off compared to the originals, but maybe they'll patch it eventually

    It’s fun!! VERY HARD though so don’t expect that you’ll be able to complete it 100%! Wish it had online, otherwise it’s a fun pick up n play game!

    Great game! Was intended for a Christmas gift but decided to try it out instead since it is the Anniversary Edition. It is just as good as the original but with better graphics. Glad I bought it!!

    Super Monkey Ball is an incredible franchise and to see its gameplay still hold up after all these years is a testament to how solid the original concept is.

    This game would get a 5 star from me if there was online play. This is simply a necessity now. That being said, this game is phenomenal and the party games are just as fun as ever. Main game is a blast although a bit loose compared to the GameCube version. Definitely worth the price. Pick this one up!
