Super Monkey Ball's Surprisingly Developed World

- Super Monkey Balls? Huh? Isn't that a BIZARRE name for a game? Kinda WACKY and WEIRD? Even icky, if you ask me. They should have named it to something more family friendly. Like Super Monkey Spheres. That's less vile and offensive.

13:06 I can actually tell you EXACTLY what these statues are: They're all enemies and bosses from the arcade game "Slashout", which Super Monkey Ball's stage director Daisuke Sato was chief designer of. Slashout was a fantasy-themed spinoff of Sega's 3D beat-'em-up series, Spikeout, produced by Super Monkey Ball series director Toshihiro Nagoshi. I think it's really cool that such an obscure title gets to be associated with a well-known one like Super Monkey Ball.
Whoa, cool info! I thought they looked like they were from something. This is why I always check the comments!
I would also like to add that there's further Slashout references in Super Monkey Ball 2, such as the Mansion from the game's second stage being visible in the Amusement Park, and Ciliegio Cathedral from the first stage being visible in the background of Clock Tower.
Was very surprised to see that the space diners didn't even make it to top 5. It always stood out to me as the most iconic background in the series.
Same, I was like "I know which will be number 1...". I do like storm though, even though I have no memory of it
Yeah that background really blew me away as a kid for some reason. So weird and intricately detailed for something you cant even interact with
Burger Cube! I used to dance in my living room pretending I was with the monkeys in there when I was a kid lol.
They look to be having so much fun in those diners.
16:35 I always got the sense that the giant spinning thing was supposed to be like a monkey Colosseum. Just like how a quarter of the real colosseum has collapsed, a quarter of that building is broken.
17:00 the inspiration here seems to be the tower of Babel, specifically the painting by Pieter Bruegel the Elder
Yeah, that's what it reminded me of. As the level's name is Sky High, it implies this version of the tower actually reached the heavens, too.
@@embargovenom9948Huh, you think in this version of history with monkeys, God never split language into all its variations?
@@charliepie1212 Probably, which may be why their technology is so advanced that they have a space station in the outer Solar System!
16:38 It's the Tower of Babel, which also fits with the stage name "Sky High"
1:50 It's fog from my understanding, clinging to the treetops :)
So aesthetic! I love the old 3D environments in games.

If you're planning on doing another "surviving in a video game world" video like the Super Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time ones, I'd love to see you break down Super Mario Sunshine that way. Sure, there's an established civilization, but you'd still need money to buy things like food. Maybe check out each world in the game separately to see which are easier or harder to survive in (I imagine you'd be eating a lot of bloopers in Rico Harbor).
yummy paint mmmmm
I never noticed AiAi’s head in the submarine until today.
Also, I think the giant spinning building in Sky High has a huge AV logo under it. I think.
I haven't been recommended your vids in a while. I had the nagging feeling that something was missing in my idealist life. Then I realized it was this channel, and manually found you again. Incredible vid. The Storm name thing blew my mind.
Super Monkey Ball 2 had some VERY weird implied realities in its stages. Especially the ones you can explore by flying around in the dogfight multiplayer mode!

Cape Bananaveral?
damn, you should be the youtuber. wish i thought thought of that🤕
Ape Canaveral, near Monkennedy Space Center.
Excellent video! I loved Super Monkey Ball 1 and 2 as a child. Can't wait for part 2!
i really like the vibe you're going for with this channel. reminds me of all the times i'd try to get out of bounds and find keys for flat textures of doors, or ways to reach windows or rooms just out of reach. when it was fueled just out of pure curiosity and wonder, before i knew how game dev actually worked. when it felt believable, and i could just take in and enjoy every aspect of a game thoroughly and through an unjaded lense. it's comfortable, feels like listening to my own passing thoughts. i mean that in a good way lol.
You really capture that point in my childhood where I built lore purely from context.
There are certain game franchises where I kind of wish they didn't establish their lore over time and just let us piece together what we can from the environment.
you made me think of using super monkey ball movement and physics and controls to try to fight dark souls bosses. Like building up momentum to bash into the boss, but can you recover quickly enough to roll back away from the response attack? Sounds fun. Kinda like Sonic spindashing maybe?
then you just end up with banana blitz’s bosses
Hey, I discovered your stuff through the GTA 3 video. I want to say you're doing a wonderful job. I have always wanted to do this type of video series almost exactly. I, ran into roadblocks in my life that kept it on the back burner for myself. I'm so glad someone with your vibe got to it first though. Keep up the good work I appreciate it.
I live for this shit ngl
i dont want to be dramatic but your intro might be my favorite on youtube, absolutely immaculate vibes
Looking forward to seeing super monkey ball 2 as that's the one I grew up with on the GameCube - the story itself is bizarre as is the locations
The towery like building in Sky High is probably inspired from The Tower of Babel painting by Pieter Bruegel the Elder. Look it up! It is very similar!
16:64 it makes me think of the tower of babel, so perhaps why its unfinished is because the builders couldn't figure out what their bosses where saying but that just a theory
I really liked this format, very nice and relaxing video. Awesome work as always!
First game I ever got on the GameCube, such good memories. Sky High and Monkey Mall are my favorites. Can't wait for part two.
I love this!! Amazing video! Looking forward to see you do the same of the second game, too!
I’ll give you a free video idea. Mortal Kombat Konquest. Specifically the Konquest game mode. It has a lot of really surreal, ethereal areas in the game; a perfect game to go exploring around in to find strange quiet places
!! this is a treat. i only had the demo for its ps3 game as i couldn’t afford full games, and spent so much time getting to know a handful of stages. love seeing this
lol @6:30 "A GAME THEOR---" 😭😭
This video really made me want an Ape Escape episode
I was thinking the same thing about the jungle level looking like dark souls right before you said it.
I'm not sure if you're doing any interesting game or just ones you have a personal relationship with, but I'd love an analysis of the world of Twinsen's Odyssey.
13:00 that looks like Saint Peter Square at the Vatican
I hope you do one for Monkey Ball 2!
Welcome back ballers! This is a very nostalgic one for me
Oh my god that Simpsons reference got me GOOD
"Like imagine monkeys building this" 🧐🧐🧐📸📸
SMB2's environment always stood out even more to me than SMB's. Especially the carnival and clock tower backgrounds...
Yooooo super monkey ball!!! I fuckin hate this game
😂
Why are almost all floating things in the background round?
Astethic choice or lore connection?
Strange or mundane places in Bully or Max Payne 1 🙏
Why no mention of dole
My favorite is the water level in Super monkey Ball 2
You should do Mario Kart 64 like this!
f zero gx could be good
You can't just say perchance
How is your and my taste in games almost 1:1 lmao u are so based
Check out some community modpacks for SMB2 sometime, a really great community making some dope levels.
A new Pretzel video about the world of yet another game I never played? Just in time for my lunch break? Perfect!
can i have a bite of ur lunch. im hungry
Whale is the best
No fucking way the vid said 419 views that means I'm the 420th view hell yeah
You may now blaze it
@@gdtyra on it
You're like Any Austin, but actually good.
