4.Begginer Mode.
============================================================================
Here is the Walkthrough for the beginner mode. Not that you'll need it!
Difficulty Key:
*= Very Easy
**= Easy
***= Medium
****= Tough
*****= Hard as nails!
Beginner 01 - Difficulty: *
This level is too easy! Just hold forward to get to the goal.
Beginner 02 - Difficulty: *
You should not have a problem with this, if you want to get to secret goal
turn backwords, and you should land on another platform, then just roll
forward to get to the secret goal, which will skip you 3 levels.
Beginner 03 - Difficulty: **
Now things are starting to get harder! Slowly make your way around the
track, go very slowly around the last turn or you may fallout!
Beginner 04 - Difficulty: *
Wait for the platform to come around to you, then get on it then wait until
it is on-line with the other side where the goal is then sinply roll
forward!
Beginner 05 - Difficulty: *
On this floor quickly get all the bananas before the time runs out! Don't
worry if you fall out, you wont lose a life you will just go straight to
the next floor!
Beginner 06 - Difficulty: **
On this floor either go down the track and very slowly turn the corners or,
as soon as the floor starts press right and you should fall to the next
platform down, this way is quicker but a little more risky.
Beginner 07 - Difficulty: *
Make your way up but beware you may need quite a bit of speed to get up the
ramps! But all the rest is just easy!
Beginner 08 - Difficulty: **
Wait for one of the little platforms to come to your area, then hop on it
and wait until if gets to the center then when all the pieces are together,
go forward a little onto the very last platform then you should have made
it!
Beginner 09 - Difficulty: **
For this one when you get to the ramp try and go down it pretty slowly or
you will go flying off the edge!
Beginner 10 - Difficulty: ***
This floor is pretty hard if you are tring to do it fast but if you just
take it nice and slow, you should not have a problem. just take your
time!
============================================================================
5.Advanced Mode.
============================================================================
So here you are the Advanced mode, your probably thinking this is gonna be
a breeze like the beginner mode are you not? Well think again!
Advanced 01 - Difficulty: *
This one is easy, just hold forward to get to the goal.
Advanced 02 - Difficulty: ***
Start of by going up the bumps at full speed, then you will come to some
blocks very slowly make your way around them, once you have done that bit
there are some bumpers do not touch them or you will go flying off the
stage! So keep in to the center while the hole is the rest is very easy
just take your time.
Advanced 03 - Difficulty: **
As soon as the level starts go left and quickly get onto the platform,
as soon as the other platform comes near the one you are on go onto it,
then just wait until it gets to the last platform and make your way to
the goal!
Advanced 04 - Difficulty: **
This is the exact same as the beginner 04 But the platform is thinner!
Just do the same as in beginner 04 but be more carefull!
Advanced 05 - Difficulty: **
Just roll forward as soon as it starts and it should be easy. If you
want to skip 3 or 4 levels just roll backwards as soon as the level
starts and you will drop down onto a small platform then just go to the
goal.
Advanced 06 - Difficulty: **
Drop to the left as soon as the level starts and make your way around, just
dont go too fast when turning the corners. Its pretty easy because the
platfrom is nice and wide.
Advanced 07 - Difficulty: **
Let the ball roll its self down the hill or you might end up going too fast!
If you let it roll on its own it should be easy enough to dodge the blocks.
Advanced 08 - Difficulty: ***
Don't worry it's hard but its a bonus level so you won't lose a life if you
fallout! It is pretty hard though, you need quite a bit of speed to go up
the hill and when you are falling back down make sure you hold down!
Advanced 09 - Difficulty: *
You will have no trouble with this one at all! Its too easy just might take
a bit of time to do, you dont need help on this one it is too easy!
Advanced 10 - Difficulty: ***
Go forward when its starts, do not go on to the other platforms if your
platform is lower than the one you are trying to get on or this might
result in a fallout! If you do this you should have no problems with
this stage!
Advanced 11 - Difficulty: **
Go right when this stage starts, then slowly go down the ramp or you will
fall of the end!
Advanced 12 - Difficulty: **
Take the easy top way for this one, plus if you do you will still get a
bunch on bananas with hardly any chance of falling out!
Advanced 13 - Difficulty: ****
There is no real way of explaining this one you just gotta keep going fast!
Make sure your Sped is at least 30km/h For the first 30 seconds then when
it gets smaller slow your speed to around 25km/h.
Advanced 14 - Difficulty: **
Keep holding forward until you get to the very last jump then hold down to
slow yourself down, or you wil go flying through the goal and will not
break the tape!
Advanced 15 - Difficulty: **
Wait until the Timer gets to 50 seconds remaining then hold forward to get
to the goal untouched.
============================================================================
6.Expert Mode.
============================================================================
Now this is the Real test! Beat this and you are the Champion of Super
Monkey Ball! Be carfull though because its gonna be a tough ride!
Expert 01 - Difficulty: ***
simply roll forward then go left then this is the hard bit! you have to
slowly get onto the small path but be careful one mistake and you will
fallout! If you want to skip 3 levels go right but its very hard because you
are on a very, very thin platform and you have to be going pretty fast to
get up the hill!
Expert 02 - Difficulty: **
As soon as the stage starts go right then simply roll through the goal!
Expert 03 - Difficulty: ****
After you have been up the hills slow down! You might not see it but there
is some moving platforms get on them them quickly though because thay move
away fast! After that ther will be anouther moving platform get on it when
it is below you then jusp on it when it gets to the other platform, the you
will see some yellow lines on the floor, be going slow when you go over them
or you will get stuck. Now there is a jump don't go over the jump to fast
because there is 4 bumpers right after it! Slowly make you way around the
bumpers, next is the thin path don't go to slow on it because you should be
just about running out of time now! So hurry along it and finally there it
is, the goal!
Expert 04 - Difficulty: ****
Go South-West when this one starts and if you just keep going at the right
speed when you get to the next moving platform thay should be just at that
moment joining, if thay are not wait until the platform has done a full turn
then get on. At the end of the level let the platform spin around a couple
of times to help you figure it out.
Expert 05 - Difficulty: **
As soon as the stage starts go right and you will fall off onto the bottom
platform, then just get onto the nearest platform by the Corner of it and
then go onto the one where the goal is!
Expert 06 - Difficulty: *
Wait until the timer gets to 23 seconds then just hold 5 plus up, remember
to hold 5 or you will not make it!
Expert 07 - Difficulty: ***
This one is pretty hard but don't worry because its just a bonus stage and
you won't lose a life if you fallout! When you get the banana the bumper
will disappear, so don't worry about getting hit after you get the banana!
Expert 08 - Difficulty: **
This level is cool if you diden't figure it out already the letters spell
SEGA. Anyway drop down onto the S and simply roll right over the gaps in the
letters, then just roll into the goal on the A.
Expert 09 - Difficulty: **
Just hold Up all the way over the ramps, at the last ramp it will look like
you are not going to make it but don't worry just keep holding Up and you
will.
Expert 10 - Difficulty: **
Hold up and right when this starts and you will start falling, when you
touch the ground be holding down and you will roll throught the goal!
Expert 11 - Difficulty: *
This one is pips hold 5 and up to roll through the goal! Not really 'expert'
is it.
Expert 12 - Difficulty: **
Hold up and 5 when it starts and anout half way through it you will hit a
bump and go flying in the air, while in the air hold up and left to go
flying through the goal!
Expert 13 - Difficulty: **
This one looks very complicated but actually it is not, just keep to the
edge of the platform where the wall is when the platform starts going up and
you will just fly over the edge of the wall.
Expert 14 - Difficulty: ****
I hate this level so much! Just hop on to the platform and stay there when
it meets the other platform get onto it, but be quick because thay go after
a second or two! Sounds easy but it isn't.
Expert 15 - Difficulty: *
Anouther bonus level so don't worry if you fall out, try and get all the
bananas as fast as you can, but theres a twist to it, the bananas move!
Expert 16 - Difficulty: **
Go down the hill holding down then turn left and go up that hill holding 5
then simply go through the goal!
Expert 17 - Difficulty: ****
Once you are at the moving Platform wait until it is below you and hop down
on to it, then this is the tricky part, once you see the next platform you
need to have a pretty big run up to get onto it, but if you are going to
fast you will go flying off the platform and fallout! So you need to be
going at just the right speed, once you have done that repeat this process
agian because its just the same as the first part.
Expert 18 - Difficulty: **
When the timer gets to 28 seconds hold up and 5 until you go flying through
the goal!
Expert 19 - Difficulty: *****!
This one is really hard because there is no good strat you can use to get
you through this level! Keep following the goal until you get a good opening
and when you think the time is right try and get into it.
Expert 20 - Difficulty: ****
Wait until the cube gets to you and when it joins onto your platform get on
it, then everytime it unfolds get on to the next bit and so on until it
unfolds the part with the goal on it.
============================================================================
7.Master Mode
============================================================================
I said you would be the Champion if you beat Expert Mode, But beat this and
you will get yourself a real title! The 'Master' of Super Monkey Ball!
Many thanks to bubonicrat of Gamefaqs for the Master Mode guides!
Master 1 - Difficulty: **
The goal spins around back and forth between the left and right sides of the
screen, getting faster at the extremes of each side. You can either got to
the middle and pop through when it's spinning the slowest or jam over to
the left as soon as the level starts to get through the goal. It takes a
little Practise, but otherwise is an easy level.
Master 2 - Difficulty: *
The whole surface of this level is on an incline, so try to keep going
in one direction. Go slowly around the gaps in the floor and you
should get to the goal easily.
Master 3 - Difficulty: *** Or ***** (Depending on Strategy)
This level can be a royal pain, because the floor rolls back and forth
pretty quickly. There are two strategies you can take. The first is the easy
strategy. Go down to the end of the first part, missing the edge by about
1 & 1/2 to 2 squares. Turn right, but don't start rolling toward the goal
until about 22/21 seconds, which is when the floor will start to roll out.
Once it starts moving forward, jam out (press '5' if you have to)
and you can usually reach the goal in 1 or 2 tries. The second strategy
takes a lot of finesse and timing. Roll toward the goal and wait on
the first platform to your left until it rolls out again. Then
go to the second small platform. Once the floor starts rolling back, prepare
to jam forward the moment it passes your platform. Timing is of the
essence, because it is hard as heck to get there.
Master 4 - Difficulty: ****
This level is shaped like AiAi. AiAi's head is bobbing back and forth
at a heinous speed. The trick is to start rolling straight toward the
goal. Don't stop or second guess yourself. Just keep going. Sooner or
later you'll go through the goal. It's very hard to get to the
goal unless you have a hideous amount of good luck. This level is
really up to luck, because the closer you are to the goal, the faster
his head's going to snap back and send you flying. Really. Just roll
straight toward the goal and keep going. If you try and switch your
direction at some point, you're going to miss and fly off the
platform.
Master 5 - Difficulty: ***
I was expecting more for this level, but hey. I'm not the designer.
There is a hammer that smacks out one layer beneath the goal every few
seconds. It does this four times before smacking the goal and sending
you into oblivion. What you need to do is wait at the start until the
hammer smacks the first block out. Then follow the hammer around along
the outer edge, but don't get too close to the hammer or it will send
you flying. Once it smacks out the forth goal, jam forward (press down
'5') to get up onto the platform and go through the goal before the
hammer gets into its next position and strikes.
*Thats It!*
So thats it! Now you are the Super Monkey Ball master! Now you should check
out the Mini Games! And try and Master them all!
