I haven't been much of a fan of the Super Monkey Ball series but I was still curious to try the GBA version. The music is out of this world but the only drawback is the play control because you can't use an analog stick unless you use it on the Game Boy Player. Later series on the DS will probably be frustrating for some players as well. The minigames are good, my favorite was the Monkey Fight. The only other critique is the constant screaming of the monkeys whenever they fall and lose a life. Not as bad as Baby Mario's crying but still sometimes quite annoying.
Fun little GBA game with good graphics for the time period. I’m surprised at how well the 3-D elements/graphics translated to this small potable (retro) console. Not revolutionary but a fun way to kill 20 minutes here and there

Super Monkey Ball Jr. is a flawed masterpiece. For one, it's basically a port of the original Super Monkey Ball video game for the Nintendo Gamecube, and a pretty darn good one at that. All the levels are very challenging but fun and addicting. It also has 4 mini-games, which include the Smash Bros.-esque Monkey Fight, Monkey Golf, Monkey Bowling, and Monkey Challenge (which requires at least 2 people to play). These games will keep you entertained for hours. The problem with the game is the D-pad controls. It can get very frustrating to try to move your monkey around with the platform, especially ones that already move! I'd rather it be that you control the monkey instead, but there you go. Otherwise, I recommend it for slightly older kids. Little kids will probably get VERY angry with it.Read full review
Bought Super Monkey Ball Jr. for the gameboy. The game looks good, works well, has nice graphics, and saves great. It also arrived on time. Very happy with my purchase.

Super Monkey Ball on the Game cube was pretty frustrating. It was hard but it was also a lot of fun. The most fun came out of the great minigames, which in my view can keep you entertained for either hours on end or serve as a fun distraction for just a couple minutes. The great thing is that the graphics are just amazing for a GBA title. The characters still look great even compared to their Gamecube counterparts. This is definitely a game you'll want to pick up, especially if you've gotten sick of Warioware and want something a little different.
