Super Monkey Ball 2
Super Monkey Ball 2 is a platform party video game developed by Amusement Vision and published by Sega, initially released on January 7, 2002, for the Nintendo GameCube. The game builds upon the original Super Monkey Ball’s concept, where players control a monkey trapped inside a transparent ball and navigate it through a series of challenging mazes and obstacles. The core gameplay emphasizes precise control and balance as players tilt the stage to roll their monkey ball to the goal without falling off the edges or running out of time.
The general story premise follows the four main characters—AiAi, MeeMee, Baby, and GonGon—who find themselves teleported into a mysterious island filled with puzzles and trials. Throughout the game, they aim to find their way back home by completing various stages and unlocking secrets. A fun fact about Super Monkey Ball 2 is that it introduced a new "Story Mode," which was absent in the original game, adding depth to the gameplay with multiple worlds and boss battles.
