This game is simply outstanding, once again the simpler the premise the better the game. Tetris, lemmings, pinball, this.
Manipulating the monkey-ball through the puzzles is tremendous fun and feels far more rewarding than it should. The party and mini-games are fabulous for sitting down with someone else for a bit of fun.
So far, this game gets the most use on our gamecube because everyone in the family plays it.
Good All-Around Entertainment

I bought the GC as a family machine, so this game was a natural choice. I was surprised how much fun my wife and I had with it, if we both like a game it must be well rounded. The Mazes are very addictive. With the many games included, there is something for everyone. I can't wait until my kids are old enough to play this one!
Fun!

I am a 14 year old gamer and I find this game very fun. You manuever the monkey in the ball to the goal. This game may seem simple at first,but is gets hard. There are 3 levels,beginner,advanced,and expert,whch I heard can be insanely hard. And I heard after expert is beat an even harder level is unlocked. There are also many mini and party games, There is fighting,targeting,racing,billiards,golf,and bowling(if not more). This game will provide hours of enertainment for any person of any age. The graphics are crisp and colorful and the music is cool too. Very fun!
Best for us old folks

While I like to play games I do not enjoy a game so hard you can not even get out of the first level. After watching 20 minutes of build up. Super Monkey Balls is a refreshing game simple enough to start and complicated enough for hours of enjoyment. no 20 munites of game start just to loose in the first 10 seconds. Best of the games out for the cube yet. Mini Games are pretty good and fun except bowling I do not like the fast moving pointer. Party games are fun... This game fills several needs and is fun to play.
Really Great GameCube game.

This is a really fun and addicting GameCube. First of all, there are over 90 single player levels (they aren't long, but can be really hard and require patience). The main game can be played in several modes with 1-4 players. And there are really fun party and mini games to play alone or with 3 other friends. The reason it lost a star is because it can be extremely difficult and the graphics aren't SUPER AMAZING, but they are pretty damn good and better than PS2 in my opinion.
good but hard

When I rented this game, I did not think that it would be very hard. But then i started playing and was blown away. The amazing graphics and tough tracks kept me occupied for a while, but when i played the Expert level, i just got frustrated after just the sixth floor! It became extremely difficult to make it through just tiny parts of the whole course. I would only reccomend this game to people who will just not give up
The game that attracts not only monkeys!

This game may seem like its just 4 babys, but its not. The levels take skill and concentration, some are just seconds long while others ma take hours. U can even unlock mini games like bowling, golf, and billiards. This game has it all!
Highly Addective & Also Highly Recommended

Wow what can I say this game is simply awsome. Although some people might say that this looks too kiddish for their "Mature Hardcore" style of gaming. Well, all that I can say is that the controls are very simple. All you have to do is control the tilt of the stage by moving your analog stick, and get your monkey to the goal. The game starts out with simple stages, but as you progress higher and higher, it gets much more difficult.
Also with multiplayer, it's 4 times as fun as you try to be the first at the goal. This game is worth getting if your playing by yourself because the puzzles are challenging and their keep you challenge as you move from stage to stage. So what are you waiting for add this item to your shopping cart and treat yourself to hours and hours of fun.
This is for everyone!

I bought this game when I got a GameCube right before the Thanksgiving holiday. We (4 adults) played this game all weekend when we weren't doing anything else. This game is hilarious and extremely addictive! We started playing the single player mode watching each other play and went on to the party games Monkey Target, Monkey Racing and Monkey Fighting. Some of the party games such as Monkey Target don't require more than one controller. You take turns rolling a monkey down a ramp and fly the monkey to a target. It's difficult but fun! We all had sweaty palms! Super Monkey ball is a classic!
This ones a Ball

Sega's 1st Gamecube game is amazing, they werent monkeying around! You control the ground, trying o guide a ball-o-monkey to the goal. Sounds easy... well try getting around ojects, collecting Dole bannas and even having to manuver on polls. [....]
