    There is a common misconception about wether you move the monkey or the stage, what’s actually happening is that you are moving the monkey and the stage is standing still, there is a game mechanic called stage tilt, it creates the illusion of the stage moving when you move the monkey, if you play SMB1 or SMB2 with debug mode enabled, you can turn stage tilt on and off.

    So on the money with this. This was a big part of childhood gaming with my siblings. Was so ready to relive the glory days with the fam. Guess I'll be digging out my Gamecube instead. Sad. What a poor way to serve such iconic games. Hope the mod community can fix some of this on PC. I'm fucked on console.

    I also agree taking out lives was a good idea for single-player (especially because every run has a mission that says to complete it in under a certain amounts of deaths) but i think they should add them again when and if they make local multyplayer

    Even as someone who never played a lot of Monkey Ball post-Banana Blitz and onwards (and also as someone who thinks the difficulty balancing in SMB1 could use a LOT of work (yes i'm yet another person that got walled by Exam-C)), I can't not see Banana Mania as a soulless recreation hoping to cash in on the same hype brought in by the originals. The originals were superb, Jr. was okay for what it was trying to be, Touch and Roll was also great *if you ignore the touch screen and just use the d-pad* , I haven't played enough of Adventure to hate it as much as other fans, but tbh I at least respect it for trying something new and failing as opposed to Super Monkey Ball 3D which is just Banana Blitz again but even worse. And I owned 3D before I even owned SMB1 (though i had Deluxe on a modded xbox), so if this was the Banana Blitz era at its worst, and its best doesn't look that much better, then what's the point in putting faith in a remake that is just a Banana Blitz in Sheeps clothing.

    The fact that Boiling Pot has dubstep music in Banana Mania makes me unreasonably upset. I've been playing Super Monkey Ball 2 on Dolphin, I installed a mod that turns 2 into Deluxe so I could get the first game's stages and Ultimate difficulty on a "gamecube." I tried actual Deluxe on a PS2 emulator and *holy 30fps with twitchy controls and lag, batman*

    I played the originals. I played the remake. And I'm saying this take is a load of garbage. It seems to me that your hate stems from *checks notes* The graphics and the sound effects aren't the same...? Do I have that right? Which I'm chalking up to nostalgia blindness. The gameplay is the same. the levels are the same. This is the same game as before with a fresh coat of paint and I'm really not entirely sure why you seem to have such a vitriol towards it other than 'it's not the original'

    I’ll fight tooth and nail in saying that this remake is very very different. The mechanics are different and gameplay is affected by such. Rolling feels off and I mean feels, meaning inputs are vastly different and me playing a level side by side will definitely have a different sloppier result. Also they destroyed the mini games monkey target does not work. Monkey bowling has overcompensating spin so you can even use that right either. I love monkey ball. Heck I love monkey ball jr on the gba. I was just more sad with the changes and how gameplay is in the remake.

This video tells me he's angry because the sound effects and graphics are not the same ones he has nostalgia for (which is to be expected, if you're releasing the same game with a new coat of paint, then why complain about the paint?). That's about the only complaint of substance I can find after reading between the lines.
