- By now, I'm sure you've realized I can make videos longer than 15 minutes. Well, before you decide to watch this video, be sure to set aside at least 33 minutes, because that's how long this video is. Makes sense, considering that Expert is a whopping 50 stages long. If you've been following the Story Mode coverage, this is familiar ground too, covering Worlds 5 through 9, again with backdrops changed:
1 Wormhole
2 Free Fall
3 Melting Pot
4 Mad Shuffle
5 Partition (Bonus)
6 Jump Machine
7 Zigzag Slope
8 Tower
9 Toggle
10 Pachinko (Bonus)
11 Combination
12 Punched Seesaws
13 Opera
14 Brandished
15 Tiers
16 Cliffs
17 Narrow Peaks
18 Detour
19 Switch Inferno
20 Earthquake (Bonus)
21 Spiral Bridge
22 Wavy Options
23 Obstacle
24 Domino
25 Sieve
26 Flock
27 Double Spiral
28 Hierarchy
29 8 Bracelets
30 Banana Hunting (Bonus)
31 Pistons
32 Soft Cream
33 Momentum
34 Entangled Path
35 Totters
36 Vortex
37 Warp
38 Trampolines
39 Swing Shaft
40 Fighters (Bonus)
41 Serial Jump
42 Cross Floors
43 Spinning Saw
44 Chipped Pipes
45 Flat Maze
46 Guillotine
47 Cork Screw
48 Orbiters
49 Twin Basin
50 Air Hockey
Rounding out the cast, I used Gongon for this run. Gongon's the big tough guy of the bunch, so it makes sense he'd take on a gauntlet like this. The Amusement Park backdrop used in the Story Mode gets switched to Jungle Island and Boiling Pot, half-and-half. World 6 in Story, which uses Boiling Pot, is in turn replaced by Clock Tower Factory. World 7: Bubbly Washing Machine stays the same. The stages that would be represented by Clock Tower Factory in Story Mode instead get the Volcanic Magma backdrop (which, if you recall, was back in World 2 in Story Mode, making the volcano a lot more grueling this time around). Finally, World 9: Space Colony has been substituted for Inside a Whale, the last theme you've yet to see in Challenge Mode.
Bonus stages replace Bead Screen, Fluctuation, Folders, Quick Turn, and Linear Seesaws, respectively. They were reassigned to Beginner Extra.
Maybe it's just the higher concentration of them, but I took more Green Goals this time around. I did so in Free Fall to skip Melting Pot, in Punched Seesaws to skip Opera, and in Chipped Pipes to skip Flat Maze. You'll also see me hit a Red Goal, in 8 Bracelets. This allowed me to skip Banana Hunting and Pistons, and also get a fat 6-digit score from that stage alone. I also attempted the Red Goal in Jump Machine, but it didn't work out. Incidentally, this means you don't get to see Banana Hunting in my videos. Care for me to upload it separately later?
You know, it makes me wonder: Why do some people insist on referring to stages in this game like "Beginner 3" or "Advanced Extra 6" when "Bumpy" or "Domes" will suffice? It's shorter, and people familiar with those stages will recognize them immediately. Well, more so than referring to them by number. These names didn't exist in Super Monkey Ball 1, where you HAD to refer to stages by these names, so tradition is the only explanation I have that makes sense.
Observant viewers will notice that each time the stage tilts in Earthquake, a few bananas will fall off the edge. And in Fighters, there is a choreographed martial arts battle between wireframe figures. Each time someone is punched or kicked, bananas spew out (presumably instead of blood). I'd have liked to show more, but it seems I was a bit too eager to chase that banana. Oh well.
As you can see, there is indeed an Expert Extra, achieved by finishing Expert without using a continue. That will appear in the next video. And yes, each Expert Extra stage is unique, and each is also extra hard.
I like it when different world backgrounds host stages in challenge mode. Does anyone else like this too?
For example:
1. World 6 (Boiling Pot) background hosts the World 4 (Inside the Whale) stages. Advanced Stages 21-30
2. World 8 (Clock Tower Factory) background hosts the World 6 (Boiling Pot) stages. Expert Stages 11-19
3. World 2 (Volcanic Magma) background hosts the World 8 (Clock Tower Factory) stages. Expert Stages 31-39
4. World 4 (Inside the Whale) background hosts the World 9 (Space Colony) stages. Expert Stages 41-50
Yeah, I really like the Space Colony levels in the Whale backgrounds.
That's good to hear. Are there any other stages in worlds you like?
+Eric Fortes Clocktower levels look more awesome in volcano theme to me.
I oddly think that the World 4 levels fit more in the Whale background and maybe World 9's belong in World 9's. But yeah. I agree. My PERSONAL favorite combination is when SMB1 levels are in SMB2 backdrops and vice versa.
We are so god damn interested in the background changes (except for the World 7 stages) as well!!!!!
Warp is the killer for me, I flat out cannot do it consistently and I hate it so much
Warp is the god damn devil. That stage gave me the most trouble out of all of em'!
ßω Jake then take the green goal on vortex i’d take the green goal on vortex if i were you
You had quite a few close calls, but you are pretty good at this game. I'm impressed.
I like to see the levels in different backgrounds to see how they look with different colors.
Also, I would like to see that bonus stage, if that isn't a problem. :)
There is a fast strategy to soft cream that pretty much does that until you master it. The nice thing is that you don't have to activate any switches.
Warp has to be the toughest in my opinion.
I would suggest the green goal on detour to skip the switches.
If you look at the comments here, you'll see that different people have trouble with different stages. For instance, I aced Double Spiral, but I've heard it gives many people problems.
I didn't want to take any risks in this run regarding purposely pressing the fast-forward button. If I used the fast-forward button, my timing to press it back to play would be pretty strict, and I didn't want to screw it up.
thank you so much! trying to look for this game on youtube forever! did you make an advanced one?
i wasnt very good at this game. Never completed the main game. In the original though i beat every level. I much prefer the original game. Level designs are a ton better than this game.
You know in the earlier SMB games, GonGon was AiAi’s enemy, but in the newer games, he got along with AiAi.
He was?
Exactly what it says on GonGon's bio.
I always skip switch inferno cause it took me a month to beat it in story mode
I think you and my mid-to-late 2000s self are the same person then!
It's weird when I've played through only a few levels of this (i.e. a few in Deluxe, and those that appeared in Touch and Roll). I feel like I should find and buy this.
ktyl :3 although this is 6 years late I still hope you bought it and beat it 😁
@GigaHazard The goal in Brandished is actually stuck to the point of the rotating object in the middle. ._. It's moving so fast that YOU don't get to the goal, the GOAL gets to YOU.
my beautiful childhood!
Man, i luved this game when I was younger. Too bad mine doesn't work because I never went to the Expert Extras or Masters yet. Sucks, was a good game ):
You have to complete all of Beginner/Advanced/Expert with more lives than you started with. After that you will have the choice to change the number of lives you start off with when you do it again.
Whoa. Brandished is the fastest I've ever seen you been smacked. ._. 536 mph, holy crap.
I just realised that that's the case in Super Monkey Ball Deluxe. Sorry, I guess I got the two mixed up.
On E14, hit up within the 1/100s of a second after "GO", goals land pretty consistently (kind of sort of stolen from sdkess).
Best. Game. Ever.
Santeri Nissinen And also one of the most difficult game franchises.
I LOVE THE STEAMY LEVEL SONG!
We love the whole soundtrack of the OG Super Monkey Ball duology for the GameCube!!
Gah... I, for one, DESPISE Warp.
That very coool that u got pass all the levels.....But how did u get the floor 29,32, 36,37,9, 33, 32, 31, 25, 19, 6, 45, 18.......But thank u for showing all the levels on the expert stage....
13:22 OH NO A HORRIBLE DEATH INTO THE 2 BUTTON D:
entangled path is a joke, and irony is that when i fist played this game, I thought it was done like I uploaded a video of. trust me.
YoManu Vega Is it
guillotine kicks my ass every time i play
@GigaHazard Normally, the tape would pass through you as the thing swings around, or otherwise you get smacked into oblivion.
This is the first time I've seen someone get smacked into oblivion AND pass through the tape at the same time. O_O
omg soft cream (FALLOUT ! FALLOUT ! FALLOUT ! FALLOUT ! FALLOUT ! FALLOUT !
I actually figured out how to do it the normal way and the shortcut way.
I didn't have much trouble in expert until Expert 45 - Flat Maze
I have no idea how anyone can make it through in the time limit!
How fitting that the World 9 stages, hence the final 10 stages of Expert, show up Inside a Whale
ohh i miss this game :(
I want to know the context why there’s levels above a giant washing machine and a giant cooking pot. XD
Both of them belong to Dr. Bad-Boon. The Boiling Pot was part of a trap to kill Aiai and the others, while the Bubbly Washing Machine happened to be in his backyard and at the location where Aiai and his friends were trying to escape. In both cases, Dr. Bad-Boon shrunk them down.
@@Overhazard Thanks for the explanation. It makes a lot of sense. 😊
@@apollorock3r244 Yeah, this game has a story mode that explains why they're at each location.
man i have beaten this game before all those stages were so easy to do even in challenge mode and story mode too.
I fucking hated Sieve... I was scared the thing smacked me out of the world.
Do you like Aiai, Meemee, Baby and GonGon
F’in hell yeah we do!!!!!
im supposed to be doing hw but instead i watch ths entire vid
not to me entangled path and vortex were hard to beat i figure it out
Nice
Yes, my mistake.
7:01 I was always stuck on that freaking level..
Nice video. NOW YOU CANT SAY FIRST AHAHAHA
I somehow got the green goal on 8 bracelets
nice video overhazard keep 'em up man
Sieve Scares The Shit Outta Me!
yay you are gongon :)
Am I the only one who prefers vortex backwards set?
It's the same cycle both ways, bro
Second. lol
nub strats
cool thanks!
do you mean world 9?
how did u start with 99 lives
FO SHO!
FO SHO!
Tip use the fast forward button
No thanks, I'm not good enough to do that.
I hate 19:33 and 23:00. Those stages just haunt me.
