The physics here are REALLY weird. Aiai can't transfer movement energy to the platforms, because those don't move out of anything other than their own volition, but the platforms can transfer energy to him, and make him move. This is why he can go flying during some stages, like Advanced 2, where he uses the energy he gets from falling an albeit small distance, and the brief moment he's touching something that could be considered a ramp for the purposes of physics to leap over all the bumpers. A really good example of this is Advanced 11. Since the energy has to go somewhere, he keeps it, and it sends him in the easiest direction for him to go... upward.
For reference, I said that to promote physics discussion, not to claim the game's bad. It's a niche game, but it has its audience, speedrunners, and the decisions that went into its design were obviously the right ones for appealing to said audience.
If a force is infinite and unstoppable then it can exert as much energy as it wants onto anything it touches, without having to deal with any sort of inertia
The hitbox for the goal tape is a lot larger than it seems, so you can just breeze past it and it will still count, this is also how Glitch Goals occur, you just barely hit the goal tape without breaking it and it counts.
I'd still like to see someone finish that the way it's intended, because I did the same thing on all my playthroughs, and I've still no idea how it's meant to be done.
@@Torthrodhel I believe there's a combination or two of switches that can be pressed to open the goal. When I was a kid I had it pretty well memorized but it's got a bad level design.
I'm sorry, but even though Banana Mania will probably have every single one of these levels, this game will always be the best because of physics. Also this is the perfect reference to get yourself hyped

omg. I can understand a platformer speedrun, or one for just about any other game, but Super Monkey Ball requires skill in every single stage. This is insane. Also, how did you get rid of the load times? I couldn't stand playing the PS2 version because it kept loading between levels.
@@hist150project5 Just increase the sensitivty in your settings. Then it will play a lot better. I like the inclusion of the different modes, unlockables and achievements. Party Games and the cutscenes could've used work, though...and where's the Credits mini game?

Discounting the repeated usage of Blur Bridge (3 times), Hard Hitter (2 times) and AV Logo (3 times), there are still 304 unique stages in the game (294 stages in Ultimate and the 10 SMB2 World 10 stages)
I kinda wish more games with challenging levels like Celeste would have a challenge mode put together like this, With a lives system and everything, I always loved the feeling of getting several lives and going through a marathon of levels like this.
First of all, what in the devil's name. HOW DID YOU BET ALL THAT? Just looking at it, I was holding my breathe, thinking you were going to fall, then turn out, you made it!
I really want deluxe :( I like how some stages are in new worlds now like downhill hard is in the night club u shud be able in practice mode to make it any background u want
It's called Pause Buffering. It can be used for a lot of different things like creating stabilisation on thin parts of the track to reduce the chances of falling off, performing frame perfect inputs, and getting early cycles on stages with moving elements to allow for a better time.
You know what THIS is a genuine speedrun that I can enjoy, not all that tas Bullshit Amazing job I could probably never do this so seeing someone do it is amazing.
It's not cheated, it's completely separate from RTAs (a.k.a. the runs I do.) RTAs aim to achieve a personal best by a human player in real time on a real console. TAS aims to achieve the absolute fastest possible times using special tools like slowdown and savestates. Although both RTAs and TASes can go hand in hand they are tracked completely separately.
***** U ARE THE BEST oh and camron its not that he is cheating its ur jealous that he is probably better then u and ur bad at this but Jcool u are a master keep up the good work and impress me :)
What is this less enjoyable part you speak of? The only less enjoyable part I see is the lag at the beginning of the stage, which doesn't make it any less fun.
So ,there are 210 stages in Ultimate ,and it combines Beginner ,Beginner Extra ,Advanced ,Advanced Extra ,Expert ,Expert Extra ,Master ,and Master Extra?
Yes, because this mode is a compilation of SMB 1&2 and in SMB 1, some of the extra stages, like AV logo, were in all 3 of the extra stages (beginner extra, advanced extra, and expert extra) that is why some of the stages are repeated.

The other 90 are only accessible if you play really well.

Kinda late, but all the original Monkey Balls have lied about their total level counts. Even the arcade ‘prototype’.

Well, even if he didn't play Ultimate 226, it still wouldn't be a No Warp run.
+TheAllBlackMan As a hater of puns, even I have to admit that was well played. Got it immediately.
It is. It's just the name of the stage.
I can't begin to put it into words how amazing this run was. Will have to try that trick you did at 20:58, next time I play level 16(Cliff).
Hardest game I’ve ever played.
51:46
*how did you clear Switch Inferno?*
In the Monkey Ball games, when you move, the camera makes it look like you’re controlling the stage, rather than the characters.

Probably.

You're measuring was so exact in some courses my jaw dropped

Can you really call it 300 levels when a bunch of EX stages are reused multiple times? Ones like Blur Bridge, Hard Hitter, and AV Logo.
Discounting the repeated usage of Blur Bridge (3 times), Hard Hitter (2 times) and AV Logo (3 times), there are still 304 unique stages in the game (294 stages in Ultimate and the 10 SMB2 World 10 stages)
Hope you’re really into the stage “Blur Bridge”
SMB Deluxe is easily on my Top 5 favorite games list
I kinda wish more games with challenging levels like Celeste would have a challenge mode put together like this, With a lives system and everything, I always loved the feeling of getting several lives and going through a marathon of levels like this.
I have no words.
BTW, how can you call 8 Bracelets and Serial Jump stages?
I loved the strategy for Veer Field. It's amazing how those huge jumps eventually lead you straight into the goal. Very precise.
First of all, what in the devil's name. HOW DID YOU BET ALL THAT? Just looking at it, I was holding my breathe, thinking you were going to fall, then turn out, you made it!

+Takahimo Yoshizawa This was not a TAS, this run was done live on Twitch. And thanks I'm glad you liked it!
here's a tip. you cannot TAS ps2 or Xbox games, therefore making this unable to be TAS runned.
Aiai's "YAAAAY" is so fucking funny
That smack in time with the music at 14:47
This is like a mixture of super monkey ball 1 original and super monkey ball 2, at the same time.
It's also cool as wel
The Arctic music sounds WAY better in SMB1's Space Colony.
I agree!
I miss the space colony from SMB1, it was one of my faves. I love Arctic, Space Colony and Underwatee
Eric C yea but arctic is ruined
This deserved a remake
9:00 skill
So much nostalgia
This game was the shit when I was a child.
I really want deluxe :( I like how some stages are in new worlds now like downhill hard is in the night club u shud be able in practice mode to make it any background u want
That was the most amazing speed run of smb ive ever seen, pause buffering? i didnt think that was relevant to smb but obviously it is lol good job!

Two words “fuck catwalk”

How did you do that on curves :O
Awesome run! Are you still the record holder for Ultimate? Or did Geoff finally beat you? ;)

deathless master - master extra! thats so amazing!
Thanks Davey!
Agreed
_I Can't Believe It's Not TAS_
Mars Has Cable there's pause buffering
21:55 the sync tho

How have you mastered all those trick shots how much do you play this game
+Jack Jeffords I definitely play this game way too much.
+Jcool114 pretty obvious, still that's very impressive I'm amazed
Did they redo the ball sounds for deluxe, it sounds terrible?
Imagine if Edmund Mcmillen "Recreated" super monkey ball, it would definetly be alot harder and have way too much bonus features to it 😂
Imagine if panga made super monkey ball
Reply what is your record for beginner. Mine is 20:25.
Why does the player sometimes repeatedly pause?
It's called Pause Buffering. It can be used for a lot of different things like creating stabilisation on thin parts of the track to reduce the chances of falling off, performing frame perfect inputs, and getting early cycles on stages with moving elements to allow for a better time.
shoutouts to hairpin.

Why do you pause loads of times when playing? And lol holy shit while watching.
Probably so he can maintain his balance better. That's my guess

Thunder 55 MileSMB has played Deluxe, he was just highly unfortunate to own the PS2 version which is significantly worse and much less enjoyable.
Oh, I didn't know he had the PS2 Version. I didn't even know he owned a PS2.

What is this less enjoyable part you speak of? The only less enjoyable part I see is the lag at the beginning of the stage, which doesn't make it any less fun.

Can you explain the Switch Inferno glitch? My brain cannot process what happened haha
