5.0 out of 5 stars As insanely fun as it's console counterpart, February 17, 2003

The original Super Monkey Ball was one of the Gamecube's great launch titles and was an insanely fun game that proved Sega could still make great games. Super Monkey Ball Jr. manages to retain just about all the great qualities of it's console counterpart and graphically pushes the GBA to it's limits. The premise of the game is to roll a monkey in a sphere to the goal before time expires or by preventing your monkey from falling off the narrow, twisting path. While this sounds easy and boring, the game is neither and is instead a blast to play. The controls on the analog pad can be a bit touchy (honestly the controls on the Gamecube with the analog sticks were better and more precise), but eventually you can get used to it and you'll experience the pure fun that is Super Monkey Ball. All in all, with the wave of GBA games of late, Super Monkey Ball Jr. is one of the best, and one of the most enjoyable games to come along in a while.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best gameboy game I've ever played, December 29, 2002

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Super Monkey Ball Jr (Video Game)

When I saw this at the store I grabbed it right away. When I looked at the back, It looked like the graphics were awesome, and they were! Even for a gameboy game, the graphics were pretty good. But I was bummed when they didn't put in MONKEY BILLIARDS. Best of all is that it hooks up to gamecube if you have Monkey Ball 1 or 2. It is great and simple to play, but hard to get past maybe the 10th level on beginner. So, all in all this is an awesome game and I think it rocks.There is a main game where you have to roll over to the goal, a mini game mode with the following games: MONKEY DUEL, MONKEY FIGHT, MONKEY BOWLING, and MONKEY GOLF.

5.0 out of 5 stars An awesome game, and fun party games., December 5, 2002

Super Monkey Ball Jr. is an awesome game, and a nearly falwless port to the Game boy Advance. The main game is still in tact, and it plays perfectly. Like its Gamecube brother, it is hard, but unbeivably addictive. Also included in the game are four party games. They are:
MONKEY RACE
MONKEY FIGHT
MONKEY BOWLING
MONKEY TARGET
Since the Gamecube version usually only used one button to play each of these games, the port is flawless. These can also be played using the system link, which will lead to hours of fun. It is a little disappointing that only 4 party games got ported, considering Super Monkey Ball 2 had 12. Graphics for the entire game are pretty good, but a little more detail would have been nice. Anyway, this is a great game for any player. Definetely pick it up if you liked the Gamecube versions, or want a fun multiplayer game for the Game Boy Advance.
