Good lord, i thought the original monkey ball was hard but THIS is on a whole other level of brutal, fantastic job dude. Btw, is there anyway to find the music for the mod?
The music in the version of this hack shown in the video is here ua-cam.com/play/PLonvwkXNAbuHXDhQySOUYbwdHHhtU0AHR.html . Note that this is the same as Monkeyed Ball's soundtrack since this is the old/unfinished version of the hack that used Monkeyed Ball as a base. If you came from the SGDQ2023 run I did a few days ago then the soundtrack for that version is here ua-cam.com/play/PLG1btiUORGnMdMC9Osq99MgZvBWdffW6o.html
I didn’t even know modded monkey ball had a community around it or was a thing at all, but this is epic! no idea why this video was recommended to me but glad it was
There's actually a bunch of Super Monkey Ball romhacks that are way better than this one! Right now my 4 favorite hacks are SMB651, SMB Gaiden, SMB Launch, and SMB Invasion. I'm working on a more complete repository of SMB hacks (including information like stage count, difficulty, etc.), but right now you can find a lot of the good ones on the welcome page of the custom level IL record spreadsheet docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16c2cC1abxdVBIGS0ejiWzwTboMZrk65XO2Znj8iMaYo
Utterly crazy how skilled this is, I spent like a couple hours trying to beat Master on Monkey Ball 2 so I get how annoying that spherical monkey is to control
These modern-day kaizo-type hacks have an absolutely criminally low amount of views, same thing with the SMM2/SM64 stuff people have been doing in the past 2 years or so. Whelp, at least pokemon/hitman gets some recognition
This is crazy GG’s on this frfr because I played the OG game as a kid when GC first came out and barely could beat it so to beat a kaizo version is frazy
The kill plane problem was fixed in the version I ran at SGDQ 2023, so you can check that run to see what the stage looks like. The only difference is that if I tried to do the same strat in this version I'd randomly trigger a fall out halfway through the stage
I found probably the majority of strats in this run, but quite a few were discovered by eddy0777 and Nambo (especially if you watch the SGDQ 2023 run which uses some newer strats, such as the skips on 5-9 and 6-7 which were both discovered by Nambo)
I play Monkey Ball romhacks such as this on a homebrewed Wii with a Gamecube controller. It's my favorite way to play due to the practically negligible input lag and authentic feel but many people still play on Dolphin emulator.
This is actually a really common misconception with a lot of speedruns! People often think about strats at a micro level (the actual strategies for the specific levels) but it's also quite important to think about strategies on a macro level (how you structure your attempts and when you reset). In this speedrun there are 2 major annoyances: 1-1 and 2-7. 1-1 is a fairly difficult strat with a goal entry that feels like luck, and 2-7 is reliant on clip luck (note, this isn't actually RNG since the physics are deterministic - think chaos theory) such that it only works around 10-20% of the time. Considering these, a good reset strategy for me is to reset to any deaths on 1-1 and then try and take a lot of runs to 2-7 until one gets past it fairly quickly such as this run. In theory I could have just reset to the death on 1-6 and kept playing until I got a similar run but without that death, but in practice using a reset strategy like that makes it take much longer to achieve a run of the same caliber.
6-8 isn't in this run because I skipped the stage. It consists of a bunch of flattened U-shapes moving back and forth in a downwards diamond formation. Here's the download if you want to try the hack yourself mega.nz/file/WIN0DAhB#AqL7qzDaQ-u_9bnapbWCHjG0Hcc5Ti0kF1K2mt-eg1A . However, if you've never played any SMB romhacks before then I'd suggest you try something else first, such as Super Monkey Ball 651 or Super Monkey Ball Gaiden. The downloads for those are mega.nz/file/McN2VI4S#p8pkonzW-iO4HsWwLgRGzwXx2Li3Jfk4-hTK6nV0SJY for SMB651 and mega.nz/file/taYiVC4S#DRr9ulDEM526IySEehGkgJI-vpbUPvJrY8UNnRccOcY for SMB Gaiden.
@@IkeSMB thank u my friend and yeah i was an ultra sweaty smb player and am familiar with monkey ball gonna give this a spin and also try SUPERNOVA this peaked my interest and im gonna enjoy my saturday
@@YTTHEGAMINGGUY I hope you have fun with them! Supernova is by far the most difficult SMB hack that currently exists (and it probably will be that way for a long time) so be ready for that to take awhile if you decide to do that.
@@IkeSMB corridors and take u for a spin I'm gonna beat those two and I'm set FOR LIFE I love these two stages and been playing them for 6 hours now LMAO thank you sub btw
Wow. This is truly insane. I thought the original game was ridiculously hard, and I never came close to beating it. Amazing work here with this monstrosity that I barely found out existed, you definitely deserve wayyyyyyy more views 🫡
"I'm gonna be responsible and not reset"
> Gets WR
Never give up!
2 minutes in and he says "I'll be responsible and not reset."
Glad he didn't
Saw you on the SGDQ accepted runs list. Crazy run, hope you get your sub 30!
21:48 “This is easy.”
Kaizo Monkey Ball: “And I took that personally.”
Never knew there was a kaizo for super monkey ball. This run gave me anxiety.
What exactly is a kaizo? I feel like ive heard of that for super mario bros, but i dont remember.
@@velocirapper8862essentially level(s) that use existing mechanics but requires a mastery of those mechanics
@@mr.shplorb662 oh, so theyre pretty much just a bunch of really hard fan made levels?
@@velocirapper8862 yeah pretty much 👍
In awe of anyone who can play vanilla monkey ball, either passing every stage or not becoming motion sick. Very well done!

Great run, congrats!!
I couldn't look away. Like peering into the maw of madness...
this is actually crazy. deserves more views
why do we torture ourselves as a community with homages to exam-C
Hopefully you get to play this at GDQ soon this must've taken dozens if not hundreds of hours of practice
I actually ran this at SGDQ 2023 last week! The run will probably be up on UA-cam in a few days or so. I'm really proud of how it went!

It was probably recommended because of the run of this at GDQ recently.
Monkeyball has a knack for making me shit bricks at all times during its gameplay.
Utterly crazy how skilled this is, I spent like a couple hours trying to beat Master on Monkey Ball 2 so I get how annoying that spherical monkey is to control
How do you only have 508 subs??? This is incredible playing!!!
Edit: now 509
what the theme called on level 6? it's a banger
This was the one shown off at agdq right? Man it’s interesting to see it in this state. This is a fantastic run, man
12:20 i skipped 10 seconds and he said "alright" both of those occassions
This man deserves more recognition. Also waiting for a sub 30
As a casual SMB player, seeing you nail those hair-thin curves made me nauseous. What an amazing run 🔥

Is there any video of stage 6-8 anywhere?

Does anybody know where i can find the music for the 2nd world?
Edit: i found it.
The music for World 6 reminds me of Minish Village from Minish Cap
can't wait for the sub thirty
incredible
gg!
did you find the strats on your own or was it a group-community effort between runners?
I found probably the majority of strats in this run, but quite a few were discovered by eddy0777 and Nambo (especially if you watch the SGDQ 2023 run which uses some newer strats, such as the skips on 5-9 and 6-7 which were both discovered by Nambo)
@@IkeSMB Nice! Ty. I'll check out some more vids
You are absolutely cracked
This game has me shitting my pants
~5:34 Welcome to Super Monkey Pinball!
This is a stressful video.
I laughed so hard at 4-10 that level looks so jank
Do you play this with a gamecube controller or something? Always been curious what are the preferred methods of super monkey ball play
I play Monkey Ball romhacks such as this on a homebrewed Wii with a Gamecube controller. It's my favorite way to play due to the practically negligible input lag and authentic feel but many people still play on Dolphin emulator.
Epic!
What in the name of friction is going on there?
Wow i didnt know there was a kaizo monkey ball
Should of been like 5 seconds faster, any first 10 stage mess up should be auto reset.

this aint a speedrun this a speedroll
Some of these stages can pass for normal Master stages...

tbh I wouldnt call this Kaizo it feels like Super Monkey Ball's extra levels

@@IkeSMB thanks
Why did ya skip 6-8? What’s so bad about it?
The goal is submerged below the kill plane so the stage is impossible (see description). This was actually fixed in the version I ran at SGDQ 2023
