One. because its pretty cheap for such an awesome game. And Two. because there is no end to the amount of fun you can have.
Oh, the Best Multiplayer is hands-down Super Smash Bros. Melee
Simple, But Extremely Entertaining!

First off, if you say this is a bad game just because you play as a monkey, ... When I got this game for Christmas along with my GCN, That is just what I thought, "You have to play as a monkey? Sheesh!" but then I took a chance and played it. I was definately mistaken. The game might be a tad "kiddy" (how I hate that word...) but it completely loses that once you get a taste of the upper levels. Those levels are so hard, no little kid could beat that! Even I couldn't! Plus, the Mini-games are excrusiatingly fun when playing with other people. I'd say this is a must-have for the party-goers.

Hey, this game is great! I play it all the time! It has a bunch of different modes and makes me want to get the sequel! My dad actually asks me to play this game with him because it's the only one that I have that doesn't give him a headache. If your a worried parent, rest assured that there is minimal violence in this game. BUY IT!!!!!(if you want to)
Silly concept - great game!

Make the monkey run down the narrow ramp, across the moving treadmills, and through the finish line before you run out of time or fall off the eleven-mile high stage area. That's pretty much the single player game . . . and it is so much fun you won't want to put it down!
The multiplayer is even better with super-realistic bowling, 9-ball, crazy monkey fights, and monkey racing. Infinitely re-playable. Fun for all skill levels and ages!
A great, inexpensive party game for all ages!

I LOVE Super Monkey Ball. Although Gamecube is usually less violent than ps2 and xbox, this in particular felt like a sweet and innocent, although moderately challenging game. The graphics and sound may seem average, but they tie in perfectly for this game. The replay valuse is exelellent, and this game is only $20. It reminds me of Mario Party on a lesser scale, with less games, but more affordible. The actual game is challenging, especially the "expert" mode. The minigames are monkey fight, monkey racing, and monkey target. The first two are self explanitory; the third is kinds tricky, but VERY cool and somewhat addicting. In every part of this game, you are self contained in a maneuverable ball. The party games you must earn. They are monkey golf, monkey bowling, and monkey billiards, all fun. I love it, and I never though I would. At least try it. I am planning on buying Super Monkey Ball 2, and I haven't even played it. Thank you for taking the time to read my review and feel free to leave me a helpful/not helpful feedback. God Bless America!
The sequel did the first no justice.This is the real thing.

Okay I must say the second one did have good multiplayer games but thats it.The main game is horrible.I mean when you get to inchworms which is practically impossible you just want to break the game in half.That is not the case with the first one.You can easily get to the last level but it is still challenging enough to keep your interest.This game is so fun and the racing section is MUCH better than the second one.One player mode is actually the most fun if you ask me and the price for this game was inexpensive so its a true bargain.Buy this game today.
Totally Cool

Super Monkey Ball is a really cool game. It's definitly one of my favorites. Monkey Race, Monkey Fight, Monkey Billards and Monkey Target are all really fun. And the little monkeys are sooooooooo cute! But, unfortunatly, it has it's downsides. Not many downsides, but it does have some.
Monkey Bowling is stupid, so don't play it. It's confusing, and one of the worst features of the game. Monkey Golf is okay, but it gets aggravating after a while of playing. Oh, and if you're doing Monkey Fight, choose Gongon as your charecter. If you're playing Monkey Race, choose Aiai or Baby. Super Monkey Ball is a lot of fun if you have 2 or more people, and is a great party game. Not so much fun by yourself, but that's just what I think. Overall, Super Monkey Ball is an awesome game.

Okay, you have got to love monkeys, so you absolutely have to play Monkey Ball! I got it for Christmas, but I sneaked and played it before, and whoa- GREAT FUN! In this game you get to complete many challenging levels, and there are ton of mini games too! The mini games are great to play with friends, and some of them are: Monkey Bowling, Monkey Golf, Monkey Billiards, Monkey Fight, and many more! Plus, if you play single, it's just as much fun, and their are really challenging mazes to complete. Check out my ratings at the bottom:
star 1: great graphics
star 2: good sound
star 3: originality
star 4: challenging levels
star 5: can't put the game down!!!!!!!!!
I recommend this game probally to Animal Crossing and Crash Bandicoot fans. This game is excellent for all ages. Also, there is also a Super Monkey Ball 2 out, which is just as fun as this one!
What a start!!!!!

We've all been looking for the great game that can be wonderous for all ages and super monkey ball certainly gave us what we really want... A game that has wonderful gameplay and amazing graphics. This game takes second in my game shelf (trailing super smash bros. melee. That game rules!). To start this party off I'll discuss the gameplay. Well all I can give to you my friend is that it is truly amazing. You can't get much better than it! The wide selection of mini/party games definately catch my eye. We (friends) play the mini/party games more than the main game and that main game you've got thier rocks!! The controls are very simple. Usually variating from mini game to mini game to main game. Now the graphics rival super mario sunshine and super smash bros. So I think you get the idea in that area. The colour selection is wonderful. It beats out many of the best games for ps2 and xbox. The bottom line is that you might as well buy the game. When you've had enough buy the sequel. I wouldn't reccomend buying adventure but you can buy the wii and get blitz (If you have the money). Well gotta run! hope you enjoyed the review.
really fun game!!!!!!!!!

This game is great. You roll the monkey around in a ball and you hit targets.sounds easy? at first...then they split the levels up in pieces! that's the main game then in minigames they put racing,target and fight. fighting is really fun though you punch each other off the side of the floor and then when the timer reaches 0 who ever has the most points wins!!! and in race you race around tracks until you win.now the monkeytarget: you roll off a ramp and open your ball as wings the tricky part? you have to open the ball at the right time and close it or you lose!! that's about it.
