Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble: The Kotaku Review

I play the original 2001 Super Monkey Ball almost every day, and if you’ll allow me one brag, I’m pretty good at it. Sometimes I play to jumpstart my brain in the morning, sometimes to unwind during my lunch break, sometimes to fill some time in the evening. Usually, I choose the fifty-stage-long Expert difficulty, and see how far I can make it without using a continue. There’s rarely an explicit goal here—I’m just hanging out in one of the best games ever made. — Cole Kronman
