Apparently, they did a study, and this game is raked the with the highest correlation between skill level and skill at laparoscopic surgery. Translation: this game is so hard, it makes people better surgeons.
+tehraider123 This could easily get into a top 10 hardest games ever made! It is next to impossible to even unlock master mode, which is 10 stages of absolute death!
Fun fact: this is Claris’s only run because she did not think this was fun in the slightest, and only did this because she rejected a run from a speed run site and felt the need to provide a better one. So no, people don’t do this for fun. Or at least, this person didn’t.
+LittlestPetShopPup The annoying thing is with this game is that when you complete master, it will appear in practice mode (obviously) but it will not appear as one of the difficulties in challenge mode like it does in Monkey Ball 2.
+Ucha Nekome Really? God I'm so bad at SMB2, yeah I got through Beginner and Advanced without dying, actually no I died once in Advanced and that was the best I ever did lol. I never beat Expert I forget what stage I die at. Somewhere near stage 20 or 25 I couldn't get past. I've been playing these games since I was like 10 years old so I'm pretty good at them but they're still just so freaking difficult!!!
i dont mean to smite you, but its around an 18 minute speedrun in real time. its a 7 minute speed run in game, which means adding up all the game times together add up to 7:27.81. hope that clears up confusion :)
That's one of the easiest tricks. Just hold up until you pass the last hole on the right, then hold up-left and adjust yourself toward the end when in the air.
I feel like I've been personally insulted, do you have any idea how long it used to take me when I played this? and then you just fall off the side and bounce on something and finish it in 3 seconds. incredible I'm kidding, btw, I'm not offended, I'm very much in awe
I tried so many times to get to Master, never even knowing if it existed or not. Expert is just too hard to get through without using a continue! Knowing what I would have had to deal with, I definitely wouldn't have gotten far.
no, beginner and advanced has to be done without losing a single life in order to get to the extra stages, but in expect it's without using a continue. they're generous enough to allow us to make a few mistakes in expert...but who cares, it's still not enough to make the majority of us get to master. still haven't to this day.
Ryan Jason Wait...WHAT??? Here I practically give up when I die once...when all along they'll allow you to get through expert without using a continue?...BUT I CAN DO THAT IF I WANTED TO!
Cameron Darnell I'm aware, and I admire the skill, practice and dedication required to perform something of this caliber. Monkey Ball is freaking brutal man. I still haven't gotten to the master stages after about a decade of owning and playing this game on and off for hours upon hours. Frankly it's amazing to see this game done so easily.
Maybe some day if i get Super Monkey Ball DX, I'll probably do hand camera and show you how its done, does that sound good? :) (although i have had it once then my xbox got the red ring so i have 1 and 2 now and i got both master on those)
And the Gods of Gaming in unison spake thus, "Unto thee, our followers, a challenge only few may pass, unto thee we giveth The Devil's Game" And their followers did rage, and as foretold, few win The Devil's Game.
+John Carnifex And even fewer could ever get past master mode, which to unlock it, you must beat all of expert without dieing and then beat the extra stages! The hardest part is beating master mode itself! Don't even get me started on stage 9!
"So I hear you're like, a pro-level gamer!" "Yeah I'm pretty good." "So what do you play? CoD? LoL? CS? Street Fighter?" "Super Monkey Ball." "What did you just call me?"
Saw you on AGDQ this week and i just had to come back and watch some of your older videos of SMB, was my fav game as a kid and always loved watching some of your videos of the game (and obviously some other peoples too). Loved how the people watching cheered when you jumped off every bonus level in AGDQ haha.
I'm curious. How many devils did you make deals with in order to achieve something like this? (lmao, in all seriousness, was this just a lot of practice and math, or?)
mikkihisame both? it's mostly experimenting with the timing and game physics. If you're good at expert's fifty stages and then the expert levels, you should know the game's physics inside out.
Brings back memories of SMB days! Amazing you were able to pull off all these back-to-back! I cannot imagine how nervous you must have been on those last couple of levels!
i was literally on the edge of my seat from start to finish. tbh my fingers r sticking to my keyboard as i type because i got so so sweaty watching i won't lie. lol like idk it was soooo intense esp when i realized that the footage wasn't sped up. i kept thinking u were going to fall off but u didn't holy shit lmao good job btw!!!!!
I never did make it past floor 9 so i cam here to see what stages were ahead and looking at master, I had a long way to go. Thanks Miles, I am finally (nearly) as boss at this games as you now and I can barely complete master without using a continue because i watched all your stunts and learned from them :)
Imagine if they ever made an Exam D There would be 5 parts: 1st Part: You have a thin line with a pair of attackers attacking you left and right (similar to I believe Twin attackers stage) 2nd Part: You have to the checker board pattern of Exam C only its moving (similar to Master 13) 3rd Part: You have to go through a very fast version of Reversable Gear (you cannot predict where it will go) 4th Part: You have to go through a very long and fast version of Toggle 5th Part: Basically Curvature with longer and thinner paths Not to mention you have 30 Seconds to do this!
I always considered Stamina Master the closest thing to Exam-D. And besides, I'd say a realExam-D would likely be an "enhanced" version of Exam-C, so to speak.
This is the most stressful thing I have ever watched
i was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO stressed !
I... I...!
**pass out**
666th like ;)
floor 25 was a comfortingly graceful experience though
Try playing it
Bare with me on this, but I'm pretending that Braixen is livestreaming her own speedrun as a V-Tuber.
I like how the game is all "Try again, you didn't beat the high score."
theFareulookinat yes “bananas”
And says Game Over with red like you fucked up
Apparently, they did a study, and this game is raked the with the highest correlation between skill level and skill at laparoscopic surgery.
Translation: this game is so hard, it makes people better surgeons.
Gotta have steady steady hands.
They only used three games for that test, but dang if it didn't still show.
Gonna Speedrun patients
@@natend741 lmfao
I couldn't beat the advanced stages when I was an alcoholic hahaha. Bad times.
This game is already hard as hell and yet it has the nerve to be timed
Ena Da The fact the clock also ticks worsens my anxiety
Lol
That’s the point. It was an arcade game
Git gud
im never complaining about rainbow road again. or anything else in my life
glennis Might as well say "The End Is Nigh"
Ash_Dies _Alone Omfg that game...
eggmanland
_Good plan._
This game is absolutely masochistic! PEOPLE DID THIS FOR FUN?!

I play it for fun :/
I never tried speedruning it, but playing casually is LOT of fun. And I was never into hard games
No words. I didn't even know Master stages existed.
Me either
I've played some of the expert stages but never even heard of master stages.
+LittlestPetShopPup The annoying thing is with this game is that when you complete master, it will appear in practice mode (obviously) but it will not appear as one of the difficulties in challenge mode like it does in Monkey Ball 2.
Huh, I didn't know that.

Yeah, that's right. Launch that child STRAIGHT into the void.
This game was not made for mortals
Or 10 year olds.
Waluigl Is fantastic Did you mean: Mortal *K* ombat
what sort of contract have you made with satan
Mearii cuz I wanna make it too
Deebo Nash you have no friends irl
Mom: 10 minutes till dinner!
Him: Ok let me just speed run this game real quick
Smite now that's funny
*20 minutes
i dont mean to smite you, but its around an 18 minute speedrun in real time.
its a 7 minute speed run in game, which means adding up all the game times together add up to 7:27.81.
hope that clears up confusion :)
That was unbelievable consistency. Truly an amazing video game accomplishment.
Free him. You monster.
Im not suprised that this game helped doctors on medical procedures. You my friend have the precision of a god
Also those shortcuts were terrifying to watch
This physically hurts my brain to look at. It's like I can't comprehend this level of godliness with my puny human mind.
That ending hurt my soul. /sobs How can they ask for more?!
*_B O N U S S T A G E_*
Holy shit. I fell off almost every stage in easy, and you're making me look like an idiot. Great job.
Master stages?
Now I know where "Dante's Inferno" is inspired from.
you sir, have my undying respect
who the fuck asked you for your opinion?
Who the fuck asked you to talk you bin child
who the fuck asked you to talk about me talking you flatulating butthead
Flatulatung butthead
Real fucking mature coming from you
Well then afain you are probably only 6
bugger off you bloviating buffoon
I totally forgot this game exist... I repressed all memory of it...
Lol me too I used to have this game for Wii, but somehow forgot about it.
Same I don't know what device I played it on but i played it all day
theres a good reason you repressed all memories of this game
Good. No ptsd
"try one more time to see if you can get 9999 points"
A god walks among us.
AMONG US
LMAO.
I wanna see what this dude looked like before, during, and after doing this. Cuz holy fuck you gotta be tired after something like this
so someone completed in under 20 minutes what I haven't been able to achieve in over 100 hours.
+Alex Park I tried to but got pissed off and threw the disk behind my dresser when I was a kid
Not all men are created equal.
Pimpeaux it's a woman
I made this comment before Claris came out as trans. don't bully.
2:41, the moment you knew this person was actually a human and not a robot
That's one of the easiest tricks. Just hold up until you pass the last hole on the right, then hold up-left and adjust yourself toward the end when in the air.
I'm here from Trash Taste, the boys weren't lying.
I fear this man's unequal power...
haha
*unequal*
Stratos *woman
watching this cost me at least two years of my lifespan
I feel like I've been personally insulted, do you have any idea how long it used to take me when I played this? and then you just fall off the side and bounce on something and finish it in 3 seconds. incredible
I'm kidding, btw, I'm not offended, I'm very much in awe
this made me have to take my anxiety medicine early
What I learned from this is that if you want to keep any fond memories of this game, then FOR THE LOVE OF GOD *_DON'T TRY TO SPEEDRUN IT_*
you can never have fond memories of this game
I tried so many times to get to Master, never even knowing if it existed or not. Expert is just too hard to get through without using a continue!
Knowing what I would have had to deal with, I definitely wouldn't have gotten far.
+Bitcoon No you have to do it without using a life, not a continue. It's a fun game though. I'm really good at it...but I always die once on expert.
no, beginner and advanced has to be done without losing a single life in order to get to the extra stages, but in expect it's without using a continue. they're generous enough to allow us to make a few mistakes in expert...but who cares, it's still not enough to make the majority of us get to master. still haven't to this day.
Ryan Jason Wait...WHAT??? Here I practically give up when I die once...when all along they'll allow you to get through expert without using a continue?...BUT I CAN DO THAT IF I WANTED TO!
go for it! you'll get a few 1-ups as well. let me know if you make it to Master!
I couldn't because my game is too damaged from scratches... :( I'll just have to buy a new one. :/
“Wanna could me over? My parents aren’t home”

Now I see why 10 yo me was throwing fits... and controllers.

The devil must have carpal tunnel syndrome from signing all those contracts with you
🤣👏
This is the most impressive video I've ever seen. I personally know how hard this game is
i love how you just jumped off the bonus round
Like I can't even believe a game this fucking insane was released at all and then someone speedran it like it was NOTHING
At the end, "see if you can get 9999 points!" Try one more time it says, this runs not good enough it says.
i feel like i just witnessed the work of god
How long... how many hours... how do you... I am immensely impressed and also kind of terrified.
Can you see the product placement?
Srsly though i feel hungry for Dole bananas all of a sudden.
Heh, I just heard that on Game Grumps like 2 minutes ago.
Great to know I have the same kind of humor than Arin and Danny xD
...How is this even possible.
Adricgames it takes skill to acomplish anything
Cameron Darnell I'm aware, and I admire the skill, practice and dedication required to perform something of this caliber.
Monkey Ball is freaking brutal man. I still haven't gotten to the master stages after about a decade of owning and playing this game on and off for hours upon hours. Frankly it's amazing to see this game done so easily.
Maybe some day if i get Super Monkey Ball DX, I'll probably do hand camera and show you how its done, does that sound good? :)
(although i have had it once then my xbox got the red ring so i have 1 and 2 now and i got both master on those)
Oh I wait I didnt see it correctly, I was a mistake sorry, I've gotten master on 1 and 2 but i might be able to do hand camera on 1
I played the first level at a friend's house when I was a kid. Never touched that shit again. This game was made by demons.
RIP Ludwig
This was an amazing thing to watch! Awesome skills!
PkGam Holy crap it's you!
lukeskywak34 I am everywhere. ;)

Are you even human???

And how it can fuck you over due to the goal trolling you constantly
Yes, that to. Master mode really should be called Sans mode, cause your are going to have a bad time.
XD
Zachary Putnam...Expert was Undyne On Genocide Run But thats one Lazy Undyne now that i think of it
Haven't played this game since I was in high school and I don't think I was ever good enough to even finish expert mode. This is beyond impressive.
There's a mistake in the title. It should say 'hardest game ever'
"So I hear you're like, a pro-level gamer!"
"Yeah I'm pretty good."
"So what do you play? CoD? LoL? CS? Street Fighter?"
"Super Monkey Ball."
"What did you just call me?"
Damn, it's been like a year since i've watched this and i'm still awestruck af. You're so consistent when it comes to the really hard strats.
why the fuck am i watching this at 2 in the morning...
because its your destiny
omdz same here, its 2am and im watching this.....guess its just that feeling of nostalgia kicking in
Darude-Sandstorm
Dude wtf, I'm randomly goi g through the comments after watching this video at 2 o'clock lol
literally me rn
2 minutes in and my hands are already sweating at the memories of playing this game.

the soundtrack is sooooo underrated. Straight up bangers!
WAIT I REMEMBER THIS FREAKING SPIT. THIS WAS THE VAIN OF MY EXISTENCE. I WAS SO MAD
+Ariael Not The Mermaid MY REPRESSED MEMORIES
*ahem* sorry i had a meltdown
This makes me so nostalgic... I wish they would mske this for Wii U D:
Sword Slash this game is hard and you wanna add actual motion controls?? you're crazy
@@jazzpear8877 Banana Blitz is calling.
when she tells you "let's take our time in this relationship"
What's crazy is there's certain moments where if he wanted to he could shave off a few seconds meaning this can be done even faster o.o
holy hell!, was this suppose to be some MLG game? im sure 90% of the people who played this never seen half these stages
JackKnifeJones Played this game for HOURS on end as kid, never even knew there was an ice level LMAO
In my opinion, this is the most impressive speedrun I've ever seen. You're a deity.
This is not just an understanding of the game physics, this is an utter mastery of them.
Brings back memories of SMB days! Amazing you were able to pull off all these back-to-back! I cannot imagine how nervous you must have been on those last couple of levels!
The song and levels just bring back so many memories. The nostalgia is amazing :')
Me: wow you finished expert 😱🤯
Me a second later: WHAT MASTER!!!
I love how you are amazing at not one but two of my favorite games, Metroid Prime and this. Keep being awesome!
i was literally on the edge of my seat from start to finish. tbh my fingers r sticking to my keyboard as i type because i got so so sweaty watching i won't lie. lol like idk it was soooo intense esp when i realized that the footage wasn't sped up. i kept thinking u were going to fall off but u didn't holy shit lmao good job btw!!!!!
Thank you Brian Matt for that awesome voice acting!
Holy shit. That was amazing. You deserve an award or something! Seriously! Like, can I draw you a picture or something?! XD Jesus.
Well done.
You truly are an expert speed running, my full respects.
Whenever I'm sad or stressed I lay down in bed and watch this. Idk why. But I've been doing it for years. So, thanks for speed running it, I guess.

Thanks Miles, I am finally (nearly) as boss at this games as you now and I can barely complete master without using a continue because i watched all your stunts and learned from them :)
It's scary how good you are at this game...nobody should be this consistent. Amazing.
Awesome speedrun!!! It's such an accomplishment to be able to do this!!!!!
dude you OWNED those master stages. the carpet trick was very impressive =o
Truly incredibly how ahead of its time this run was, know it’s a bit late but gg!!!
Congrats! Possibly the best speedrun I've ever seen.
This is so stressful to watch
I have been playing monkey ball since I was like 8 years old and you have officially shamed me
I'm impressed
Ofc I always fall off of every Advanced Stage in existence, and you make me look like a newbie
I love this game and the speedruns are so fun to watch
I don't think I've even seen most of these stages. And then you do THAT to them. Kudos to you.
Nostalgia ultra seeing this. Incredible gameplay!
Ah my favorite Christmas tradition!
Incredible run, Miles! :O
Floor 8 BLEW MY MIND!!!!
I've actually done that trick several times. It's a really fun stage, and not too hard to pull off once you practice it quite a bit!
Imagine if they ever made an Exam D
There would be 5 parts:
1st Part: You have a thin line with a pair of attackers attacking you left and right (similar to I believe Twin attackers stage)
2nd Part: You have to the checker board pattern of Exam C only its moving (similar to Master 13)
3rd Part: You have to go through a very fast version of Reversable Gear (you cannot predict where it will go)
4th Part: You have to go through a very long and fast version of Toggle
5th Part: Basically Curvature with longer and thinner paths
Not to mention you have 30 Seconds to do this!
+thelegendsqb1 No That would be impassable just take the Original Exam-C And tweak it that should get you a Custom level in no time
I always considered Stamina Master the closest thing to Exam-D. And besides, I'd say a realExam-D would likely be an "enhanced" version of Exam-C, so to speak.
Trash Taste brought me here.
How many hours.....did you log into this game.....to get this good?
over 9000
I have a headache. I've been trying to beat expert mode for 4 hours. This almost made me cry :'(
You got the god run at last! :) It must feel amazing to get a deathless Master at the end of such a great run.
One of the best things I've ever watched
I like to just listen to this awesome audio in my car while i drive. The supersonic pitch is very relaxing
awesome skills,never imagined that someone could play like this
I never played the master levels,I'd love this game
