Monkey Ball Sub Games

[Guest Penguin_Lad]

Which one of the 3 should I unlock first!

Bowling, Billiards, or Golf?

[Kryptonian]

I'd say golf for 2 player, billiards for 1 player [i find it relaxing] and then bowling cos I don't like it much.

However, before unlocking owt, take out your memory card and unlock what you want. You can see if you like it without it costing you play points. When done, reset the GC and put the mem card back in, take it out when loaded and try another one.

Bowling is what get's most multiplayer play in my living room.

[TomCGCG]

Bowling, by a mile. Neither of the others get a look in.

(should have been a poll )

[___]

Golf is a bit rubbish, billiards is nice if a bit easy, bowling contains just enough complexity with it's nice spin system to sow the seeds of addiction.

299!

[Luke]

Bowling

[Fry Crayola]

Surely you can't get 299, insin.

You can get 30 for three strikes in a row, you have to get all strikes for 300, and there's no way you can get 299 because that would involve you somehow bowling a 9.5 with your last ball.

You big fat liar you.

[choddo]

Golf2 is rubbish. Golf1 was awesome. But both pale in comparison to Monkey Target2.

As for 299;

30 30 30 30 30 30 30 30 30 10 10 9

Surely?

You get whatever you knock over in the last frame and there are 3 score thingys to fill. I fucked up the very last shot and got a 9.

Gizza hug!

30 30 30 30 30 30 30 30 30 10 10 9

Surely?

But to get 10 on the 10th go would require you to hit nothing (and 10 would be added to your score based on the last strike).

Then you wouldn't be able to get the extra go's.

Surely?

But to get 10 on the 10th go would require you to hit nothing...

The last three scores are all from the final frame.

[Belbo]

Gah, I get it now.

I've only just woken up you know?

Anyway, Bowling is better.

[Jonny5]

Bowling is great.

My highest is only about 262 or somthing.

I actually had to learn how to calculate bowling scores from online bowling fetishists who were being over-technical to try and make it seem complicated (bowling makes you good smart!), as the resident Monkey Bowling addict and myself were a bit puzzled by the scoring system - the SMB manual is very light on actual details about the games other than what the controls are.

Moved to discussion

[Cyhwuhx]

.::: Ahum...

MONKEY TARGET

Yes...

[Boutros]

Bowling is brilliant !! The only game my girl kicks my ass at.

Probably cause she's been playing it for 5 days now (2 hours a day) and hits trike after strike.

Makes her cocky though...

I like it

Boutros knows what I'm talkin' 'bout!

(She's told me we need to get a PS2 to go with the XBox and GC now )

Well... it's cute now... she'll be serious trouble in a couple of years though

[Graham S]

Bowling is best.

I like Target.

Race is dull.

Golf is rubbish. I need a Tiger Woods analog swing nowadays.

[des]

Definitely bowling. I bought SMB2 two weeks ago for £15 just for it. The billiards is good fun too. Can't really be bothered with the main game though.

[Sprite Machine]

Bowling. Aces!!!

[robdood]

I prefer Monkey Bowling 2 as it feature that crazy lane mode. How hard is that?!

Shame the one-player in SMB2 isnt quite as great as the original.

[bazclef]

Bowling by a mile... it's just so addictive! (274)

[Fondue]

Bowling. Yes indeedy.

[Yummers]

Bowling was OK untill I noticed Gon Gon having a sly tug before bowling. Dirty little monkey.

I prefer flying. whoooshhhhh...... THUD. (Falling with style for me to be honest)

[mr_oz]

Golf 1! I've had many great 4 player sessions on the original Monkey Golf. Trying to hole-in-one every hole is one of gamings greatest challenges. Golf on SMB 2 is rubbish though!
