Game description: Super Monkey Ball from the GameCube comes to the PS2 and Xbox. All levels from Super Monkey Ball, Super Monkey Ball 2, and 47 unique levels (totaling up to 310 levels) are all in this one game! Bored of story mode? Well there are plenty of customizable mingames to choose from. Play with up to 3 other friends (Depending on minigame). From racing to dogfights, or golf to soccer, the fun never ends!

The main menu is more demanding than the game itself! •Remember that different minigames will perform differently. In the story mode and most of the minigames I am able to get ~60fps at 3x Resolution.	SHunter

Known Issues

Angle Selection Too Fast

Status: Active
Type: Serious
Description: This issue is for the minigame Monkey Bowling DX. When choosing the angle to throw the bowling ball, the selection animation goes too fast making the game very difficult to play. When choosing the "baby monkey", the animation goes the correct speed. This gives the advantage to whoever chooses the "baby monkey" in Co-op.
Workaround: No known solution

No Friction in Billiards

Status: Fixed
Type: Serious
Description: This issue is for the minigame Monkey Billiards DX. After hitting the cue ball into the object balls, some object balls slow down but never completely stop moving until they either hit the edge of the pool table or collide with another object ball. Playing on the PS2, you will see all the object balls slow down and eventually stop without having to hit the edge or another object ball.
Workaround: Set EE Round Mode to Nearest.

Shaky Video/Stuttering Audio and False fps Reading

Status: Fixed
Type: Minor
Description: Cutscenes may not work properly and in-game the fps reading doesn't match what you see.
Workaround: Do not set EE Cyclerate or VU Cycle Stealing to more than 1.

-#''Monkey Billiards DX'': When hitting the balls with the cue stick, some balls continuously move until they hit the edge of the pool table or another ball. In the PS2, the balls will slow down overtime and eventually stop.
-#''Monkey Bowling DX'': When choosing the angle to throw the bowling ball, the game messes up on how fast the animation should go. It displays it going too fast. If you play Co-Op the second player will have the advantage because the animation will always play too fast for the first player and too slow for the second player.
