The physics here are REALLY weird. Aiai can't transfer movement energy to the platforms, because those don't move out of anything other than their own volition, but the platforms can transfer energy to him, and make him move. This is why he can go flying during some stages, like Advanced 2, where he uses the energy he gets from falling an albeit small distance, and the brief moment he's touching something that could be considered a ramp for the purposes of physics to leap over all the bumpers. A really good example of this is Advanced 11. Since the energy has to go somewhere, he keeps it, and it sends him in the easiest direction for him to go... upward.
For reference, I said that to promote physics discussion, not to claim the game's bad. It's a niche game, but it has its audience, speedrunners, and the decisions that went into its design were obviously the right ones for appealing to said audience.
If a force is infinite and unstoppable then it can exert as much energy as it wants onto anything it touches, without having to deal with any sort of inertia
Because of you and geoff, I now have this game on a PS2 emulator. I managed to learn a few tricks here (Dungeon clip, Tub Skip, etc. but theyre mostly from beginner to advanced because lets face it im not that good at expert even though i DID beat story mode with a score of over a million)
The hitbox for the goal tape is a lot larger than it seems, so you can just breeze past it and it will still count, this is also how Glitch Goals occur, you just barely hit the goal tape without breaking it and it counts.
I'd still like to see someone finish that the way it's intended, because I did the same thing on all my playthroughs, and I've still no idea how it's meant to be done.
@@Torthrodhel I believe there's a combination or two of switches that can be pressed to open the goal. When I was a kid I had it pretty well memorized but it's got a bad level design.
I'm sorry, but even though Banana Mania will probably have every single one of these levels, this game will always be the best because of physics. Also this is the perfect reference to get yourself hyped
I kinda wish more games with challenging levels like Celeste would have a challenge mode put together like this, With a lives system and everything, I always loved the feeling of getting several lives and going through a marathon of levels like this.
monkey ball 1: 50 stages plus 20 bonus stages for perfect on expert monkey ball 2: 50 stages plus 30 bonus stages for perfect on expert monkey ball deluxe: 210 stages plus 90 bonus stages for perfect on ultimate ...boy, that escalated quickly
omg. I can understand a platformer speedrun, or one for just about any other game, but Super Monkey Ball requires skill in every single stage. This is insane. Also, how did you get rid of the load times? I couldn't stand playing the PS2 version because it kept loading between levels.
I really want deluxe :( I like how some stages are in new worlds now like downhill hard is in the night club u shud be able in practice mode to make it any background u want

First of all, what in the devil's name. HOW DID YOU BET ALL THAT? Just looking at it, I was holding my breathe, thinking you were going to fall, then turn out, you made it!
Discounting the repeated usage of Blur Bridge (3 times), Hard Hitter (2 times) and AV Logo (3 times), there are still 304 unique stages in the game (294 stages in Ultimate and the 10 SMB2 World 10 stages)
So ,there are 210 stages in Ultimate ,and it combines Beginner ,Beginner Extra ,Advanced ,Advanced Extra ,Expert ,Expert Extra ,Master ,and Master Extra?
You know what THIS is a genuine speedrun that I can enjoy, not all that tas Bullshit Amazing job I could probably never do this so seeing someone do it is amazing.
It's not cheated, it's completely separate from RTAs (a.k.a. the runs I do.) RTAs aim to achieve a personal best by a human player in real time on a real console. TAS aims to achieve the absolute fastest possible times using special tools like slowdown and savestates. Although both RTAs and TASes can go hand in hand they are tracked completely separately.
***** U ARE THE BEST oh and camron its not that he is cheating its ur jealous that he is probably better then u and ur bad at this but Jcool u are a master keep up the good work and impress me :)
Yes, because this mode is a compilation of SMB 1&2 and in SMB 1, some of the extra stages, like AV logo, were in all 3 of the extra stages (beginner extra, advanced extra, and expert extra) that is why some of the stages are repeated.
ChucKobe24 The ice theme from SMB1 got moved to the space levels while the original space theme was completely removed from SMBDX. The ice levels contain the same theme as the sky levels. I'm not sure why they did this.
***** The SMB1 Ice World and SMB2 BWM are the absolute best musics in the series to date. Also, why don't you do this more often? We don't see sexy Pistons in Ultimate Warps.~MGG

For some reason, I miss the dole sponsorship in this game.

OH MY GOD, HOW DID YOU NOT LOSE YOUR MIND GOING THROUGH 300 LEVELS STRAIGHT?!
Lieutenant Elhaym Van Houten is right not 210 levels 300 levels
marc antoine gagne
The other 90 are only accessible if you play really well.
So yeah.
Kinda late, but all the original Monkey Balls have lied about their total level counts. Even the arcade ‘prototype’.
Weeb

Yea
And that iconic announcer
It’s more than smbbm
This game was a massive part of my childhood. I miss it.
the end of E54 when AiAi flew up and got hit by the thing almost made me have a heart attack @56:23

BONUS FINISH!

Ooohhoohh wah! Yaaayyy!
>>>washing machine stages anywhere but the washing machine. Sooooooo weird
It's only one stage though.
warp is that one level that has killed me over and over
fadedthunder369 you warped? XD
fadedthunder369 I don’t blame you. The slope physics on that level never made any sense to me, and I would always die on the last part.
I remember that was the bane of my existence in my second completed story playthrough.
World 8 is HARD
Wow. this looks MUCH better than the PS2 version.
that explains why the Xbox version is more expensive than the PS2 version
You're a god at this game!
Ikr?!
Yeah this guy and scrap. I would mention packattack but that god is on another level of insanity

Platforms float in blank space with nothing holding them up. Of course the physics are weird.

Lol
Why are you playing this game in stretch mode instead of actual widescreen?
in *what?!*
Oh, so you can just fuckin' do that with Switch Inferno?...
Alright, then.
I can't begin to put it into words how amazing this run was. Will have to try that trick you did at 20:58, next time I play level 16(Cliff).
You finished without using a continue! Nice Work :)
Rice Gabriel Thanks!
With skill and 99 lives, you would expect that

Okay so Ik that this game is real, but everything about it looks too perfect to be real. ITS MIND BLOWING!
sadly we only got 2 of them, they still hold up perfectly
And now those 2 are getting an update. :)
The storm area is probably my favorite area of the game
1:02:40
I thought this playthrough was No Warp!
LOL puns
+TheAllBlackMan It's just the title of Stage 226.
D Poz
It's a joke. ;)
Well, even if he didn't play Ultimate 226, it still wouldn't be a No Warp run.
+TheAllBlackMan As a hater of puns, even I have to admit that was well played. Got it immediately.
It is. It's just the name of the stage.
I'm sorry, but even though Banana Mania will probably have every single one of these levels, this game will always be the best because of physics. Also this is the perfect reference to get yourself hyped
SMB Deluxe is easily on my Top 5 favorite games list
Polar Large is absolutely ripping me a new one!!
You're measuring was so exact in some courses my jaw dropped
Lol
BTW, how can you call 8 Bracelets and Serial Jump stages?
Best game of the franchise
In the Monkey Ball games, when you move, the camera makes it look like you’re controlling the stage, rather than the characters.
Gman193 Blair Isn't that the point of the game?
Probably.

I loved the strategy for Veer Field. It's amazing how those huge jumps eventually lead you straight into the goal. Very precise.
Hardest game I’ve ever played.

That was the most amazing speed run of smb ive ever seen, pause buffering? i didnt think that was relevant to smb but obviously it is lol good job!
I have no words.
This game is my childhood! 😄
Hope you’re really into the stage “Blur Bridge”
So much nostalgia
This was good training for supermeatboy
This is like a mixture of super monkey ball 1 original and super monkey ball 2, at the same time.
It's also cool as wel
Wow.. it's really cool and crazy RTA I've ever seen. Isn't it a TAS !? Anyway thanks four your upload!!
+Takahimo Yoshizawa This was not a TAS, this run was done live on Twitch. And thanks I'm glad you liked it!
here's a tip. you cannot TAS ps2 or Xbox games, therefore making this unable to be TAS runned.
T’es vraiment très bon !
Awesome run! Are you still the record holder for Ultimate? Or did Geoff finally beat you? ;)
Lowdog002 I dont think geoff does "no warp" runs- He does runs with warps while jcool prefers no warp *some of the time, correct me coolpai pls*
Did they redo the ball sounds for deluxe, it sounds terrible?
First of all, what in the devil's name. HOW DID YOU BET ALL THAT? Just looking at it, I was holding my breathe, thinking you were going to fall, then turn out, you made it!
This is the game I point people to when they say games are not art. This game just oozes personality.
Games aren't art, no. Also saying a game has "personality" could mean anything, and so it means nothing.
@@pumpkin6429 your opinion on modern art?
Can you really call it 300 levels when a bunch of EX stages are reused multiple times? Ones like Blur Bridge, Hard Hitter, and AV Logo.
Discounting the repeated usage of Blur Bridge (3 times), Hard Hitter (2 times) and AV Logo (3 times), there are still 304 unique stages in the game (294 stages in Ultimate and the 10 SMB2 World 10 stages)
How did you do that on curves :O
This game was the shit when I was a child.
Can you explain the Switch Inferno glitch? My brain cannot process what happened haha
deathless master - master extra! thats so amazing!
Thanks Davey!
Agreed
The Arctic music sounds WAY better in SMB1's Space Colony.
I agree!
I miss the space colony from SMB1, it was one of my faves. I love Arctic, Space Colony and Underwatee
Eric C yea but arctic is ruined
Eres totalmente impresiónante!!!!
Reply what is your record for beginner. Mine is 20:25.
This deserved a remake
9:00 skill
why is the arctic music playing in the first game's space level?

So ,there are 210 stages in Ultimate ,and it combines Beginner ,Beginner Extra ,Advanced ,Advanced Extra ,Expert ,Expert Extra ,Master ,and Master Extra?
Actually 300 levels
Ready.....?
GO

How have you mastered all those trick shots how much do you play this game
+Jack Jeffords I definitely play this game way too much.
+Jcool114 pretty obvious, still that's very impressive I'm amazed
Aiai's "YAAAAY" is so fucking funny
Not beating levels was my biggest pet Steve
It would've been cool if there was a hidden goal inBead Screen, Bouy, Coil Ramp, & various stages you could put one
And simple
shoutouts to hairpin.
07:34 I not even going to ask...😴😵😁It's nice to know the stages I have skipped (I have to use warps to save time and get more points)
Warpless, nice!
very cool
Imagine if Edmund Mcmillen "Recreated" super monkey ball, it would definetly be alot harder and have way too much bonus features to it 😂
Imagine if panga made super monkey ball
Holy shit u beat exam c, expert 8, and master 13 so easily o.o
This, I use to hate this. Every time I'd play this and I get bumped off or accidentally fall off, I'd throw the remote and turn off the game LOL
Excelente
Thanks!
10:14 😍😍😍😍
21:55 the sync tho
Btw E6 (the stage) can be a pain in the tail to complete...
Nostalgia :')
_I Can't Believe It's Not TAS_
Mars Has Cable there's pause buffering
Nice! That was 7 tries!
did they put a couple levels in twice?
Yes, because this mode is a compilation of SMB 1&2 and in SMB 1, some of the extra stages, like AV logo, were in all 3 of the extra stages (beginner extra, advanced extra, and expert extra) that is why some of the stages are repeated.
insane run dude I could go through all that with no continues too but not as skilled
Why do you pause loads of times when playing? And lol holy shit while watching.
Probably so he can maintain his balance better. That's my guess
I wish they could of kept the extra stage music from the sapce world from smb1
cool super cool cwsonic
Two words “fuck catwalk”
Beginner extra 5’s real name: Oh Buoy!
I’m so sorry! (Not sorry).
harambe would be proud
