The editors liked
Tiltandroll mechanic is plenty fun with the 3DS accelerometer.
Classic Monkey Ball mode looks cool in 3D
Motion controls are neat and responsive.
Technically getting three games in one (action/puzzle
Kart racer and fighter)
Visually impressive
Controls very easily and good for gamers of all ages. There are download-play versus options
So you only need one cartridge. Monkey Race mode is surprisingly fun.
The editors didn't like
3D does not play nicely with the motion controls
Monkey Race and Monkey Fight modes are very boring knockoffs of Mario Kart and Smash Bros
Some courses aren't terribly fun to negotiate with the accelerometer.
Racing physics
Dull fighting action
Only one mode worth playing.
Error message can come up when you suspend the game. Motion controls are awkward and take a lot of getting used to. You can’t use motion controls and have the 3D effect on. Monkey Fight is only fun with other people playing. No online multiplayer.
Abstract: Twelve years ago in Japan a game was released in arcades called Monkey Ball. The premise was simple: instead of controlling the game’s main character (or characters since you could choose from three different monkeys) you actually used the banana-sha...
Abstract: If there's one thing to be said about the Monkey Ball series, it is that you know what to expect every time you pick up a new iteration. The gameplay is always the same, and even if there's a singular new feature to check out (like using the touch scre...

Abstract: Super Monkey Ball 3D is a familiar addition for anyone who has been playing games since the last generation of consoles. It’s an incredibly bizarre series that is difficult to describe, but becomes instantly accessible and understandable after only a f...
Abstract: Super Monkey Ball isn't a series I've had much love for since the Gamecube days, specifically with SMB 1 and 2. Once SEGA went past that point, they kind of went off track, tossing in various mini-games, motion mechanics, easier difficulty, and overall...

Super Monkey Ball 3D continues the trend of the franchise’s downward spiral. The game looks and sounds great, and Challenge Mode is a lot of fun. Meanwhile Monkey Fight and Monkey Race are the only two mini games included, and both are pretty awful. Th...
Abstract: The first console Super Monkey Ball on GameCube was a revelation. The single-player puzzles were a test of precision and skill, and the multiplayer games were great fun in a party setting. Unfortunately, Sega's latest entry in the Super Monkey Ball ser...
Abstract: Sega sure knows how to milk their franchises for all they’re worth; Debuting as an Arcade exclusive in 2000, Monkey Ball began its console life on the GameCube the following year underneath the title “Super Monkey Ball”, and has since been ...
