Super Monkey Ball Step & Roll :: Tips and Tricks

There is no doubt that Super Monkey Ball is super fun, but it can get frustrating when you keep dying in the same part of a level over and over again. The first three world (Jungle Island, Excavation Site, and Chimpan Sea) are pretty easy, since there are plenty of rails to help you along. However, started with the fourth world, the Far East, the game gets a lot harder.

General Tips

Unless you are incredibly light on your feet, you will be better off using the Wiimote instead of the Balance Board to play Super Monkey Ball Step & Roll. This is because the camera in the game moves around unpredictably and you will need to change how you are leaning on the board quickly in order to stay on the desired path. It is simply much easier to use your reflexes and make quick adjustments with the Wiimote.

If you are playing co-op, or just really want to use the Balance Board, you might want to run through the first three worlds a couple of times in order to get used to using the Balance Board. Learn to quickly slow down and stand still whenever the camera moves around and you will save yourself a lot of headache.

The Final Level

In the final level of the seventh world, there is a warp gate that is hard to reach. It is located at the end of a tight curve. In order to get to this warp gate, make sure that you approach it from the right side raised wall and not the left. Once you get to the last curve, take it as slow as possible and lean against the raised wall. With the right amount of pressure, you should not fall off on the left side. Once you are close enough to the warp bubble, move quickly into it. Once through, move quickly to the second warp bubble and you will end up by the exit!

When watching the credits, you can play a mini-game, or skip the credits by holding down the A button for about 3 seconds.
