I like that the monkey ball speed runner community is apparently all metalheads

[@GrandWawa]

🤘

[@jameslynch9442]

Lool what a funny observation

[@T3n50r]

As a guy with roots in the hiphop community with a few metal head friends, this game is probably the most metal game there is. It's a monkey trapped in a ball forced to get through deadly obstacles with you as its savior. Makes sense to me, haha

[@loganmyall660]

Fun fact: secretly all metalheads are jazz people. With the rad soundtrack of mb, it makes sense imo

[@TheReaper156]

​​@@loganmyall660I can confirm this. Source: I am a metalhead, but I also really, really like jazz!

[@derekcline950]

Some runs look easy despite being incredibly hard. This is not one of those runs.

[@kavpav1416]

not to mention he was doing all that while providing commentary!

[@DrGandW]

This franchise is already harder than it looks

[@alexandersze49]

It’s those that are both hard to play but looks way harder to execute for the audience 😂

[@CGGongtai]

World 1 - Glades by Aviators
World 2 - Mirage Saloon Act 2 by Tee Lopes (Sonic Mania)
World 3 - Art of War by Yasuhisa Watanabe (Senko no Ronde DUO)
World 4 - Solstice Equinox by relayer (Super Monkey Ball: Launch!)
World 5 - Snowboarding by Jim Nopédie (Super Monkey Ball 651)
World 6 - No Remorse by 3R2 (Rabi-Ribi)
World 7 - xenon by Mr. T (beatmania IIDX 8th Style)

[@BradTasteInMusicOfficial]

I just watched the run from 8 months ago on this guys channel and I was hungry for more. Awesome to see this was done so recently

[@KobunLaunch]

Talked to some old monkeyball-heads about this recently. The fact that this exists is nothing short of a miracle. When this came out back in 2018 it was only the first few worlds and even those just seemed not doable. The fact that this is now AT A GDQ is absolutely insane

[@shk_]

Glad to see monkey ball in another gdq! Let's go!

[@xnappy4564]

This was mind boggling insane runner. amazing job!

[@VonFirflirch]

I don't watch many speedruns, but it's funny to me that, despite how intense Monkey Ball games look, their runners are some of the most talkative ones x)
Not complaining, mind you, it's more entertaining... and impressive :D

[@KartingKoopa]

Baller run! Glad to see our community represented here once again. Mega shoutouts to everyone involved!

[@captmonkeyball2580]

This game was my childhood (hence the username) and it is always great to see a unique set of stages, no matter how hard the levels. Amazing job Ike and all who were on the couch!

[@zeemod1556]

Always love to see these Monkey Ball runs. Never played any of the games but the sheer visuals and speed of them cannot be beat.

[@xYiazmatx]

Commentator nailed the donation at 25:29. Well played!

One of my fav runs ever... unbelievable gaming (+ thanks so much Ike for the music shoutout 🥹)

[@SeanCMonahan]

This run is bananas! This is seriously impressive.

[@Helix13_]

super monkey ball!!!

[@nathannorth675]

This panic inducing run was definitely one of the most impressive runs I have seen at GDQ. My inner 12 year old was on pins and needles the whole time!

[@TheNeonCaster]

With ha- uh, fangames like this, I always love the music selection choices; that blend of video game music, covers of commercial music and original tracks. Is a songlist for this game available anywhere?

[@Rowan_Maladeus]

I didn't get to watch it live. Great run Ike!!! Great comms Monkey, Peter, and Ganon! So glad to be friends with all of you. Much love from the Grill.

[@Juan_Burgos]

Loved the run!

[@scrap651]

awesome gaming

[@HouseOfFunQM]

I’ve never been so stressed watching a speedrun

[@holyflutterofgod]

this was truly BANANAS like genuinely that was fucking crazy to watch

[@cloenobody]

amazing mod and amazing run! thank you all so much!!

[@QueenOfPessimism]

There should be a new smb fan made world at every gdq!

[@CScottyW]

yeah. Super Monkey Ball. Roll him he goes. Goal

[@Dragmirejr]

loved this run!

[@shallowoak7071]

Insane levels and skill on display here, a fantastic run! 🎉

[@perfectchaos0078]

Incredible run. Probably my favorite of the event

[@twinsisterr]

insane run, phenomenal stuff

[@andybuscus383]

Don't you love when you recognize a song that's being used in something you've never seen before? lol.
The song in world 6 at 24:24 is "No Remorse" from the Rabi-Ribi OST. Awesome songs you should totally listen to.

[@fiddleronthenet3360]

Insane run! Always love watching monkey ball.

[@TheGamingSiri]

Fantastic run of a fantastic pack remaster!

[@Tomatism27]

awesome run and commentary

[@whereta3097]

Great run!!

[@andersnewgard7687]

so much love for Ganon!

[@hauntedsunsets]

awesome run!!

[@trenthm]

Awesome run!

[@foxfox1422]

Best run!

[@GorganDorgan]

Has anyone else tried balancing a tennis ball on a pvc pipe

[@blumpkinglinde]

Bro this is looks like hell to play

[@miacasual1263]

you know the speedrun is good when you're breathing a sigh of relief after every level

[@iratepirate3896]

This is absolutely unreal. I played the original game on release but this is just staggering to watch

[@feIon]

amazing run

[@Topsy-Kret]

still love kaizo games, go for it

[@MxDOOM]

Great run

[@malikoniousjoe]

Awesome gameplay, awesome couch, awesome host. Play more Monkey Ball

[@avestrustheone6349]

The audience is great in this run.

[@cho4d]

insane skill on display. wow

[@YamiSuzume]

So many "probably hardest" things in this run

[@yxzl1l1l1l1l.7_ombieGlitcher]

Cool Atmospheric DnB tracksss

[@Maco777111]

This run is epic

[@Meepalasheep]

I usually don't care for Kaizo stuff, but I love monkey ball and this was a really fun watch. good commentary

[@dullicecream]

I had no idea that they skipped a level because it was literally impossible, I thought it just to be funny with the level complete number 😅

[@BobbyMiller64]

Poor Aiai sure had a lot to say.

[@gnarly_charley]

One of the coolest runs. Looks way fun too. Better than the elden ring one for sure...

[@PunYT]

World 7's music made my DDR Neurons activate. Didn't expect to hear Xenon.

[@Snawsages]

Wondering if someone can tell me what the song from World 7 is, I know I have heard it before but can't put my finger on it.

[@Snawsages]

Nevermind, found it, it is Xenon by Mr. T

[@That0neProtogen]

whenever the monkey goes "YAA" i swear im hearing the metal pipe

[@chambrine]

So so sad I missed my fav game ever live 😔

[@KamiYuryo]

Finally hard games come back

[@williamcompitello2302]

Yeah, 4-8 has quite an envied design.

[@sergiopena3833]

I love GDQ. That being said, this was so stressful to watch. I would have been stuck on the first level

[@omegasmileyface]

_kaizo_ monkey ball? in THIS econony?

[@internetname6210]

i need the music from this it's so sick

[@taylorb1356]

Normal monkey ball is difficult. This is insane mode!

[@CarterJackson]

The Ai-Ai dono was peak GDQ meme content

[@JAMllostthegame]

Anyone have that World 3 music on hand? Sounds like my kind of vibe. Actually maybe just the whole thing lol

[@RealityMasterRogue]

Huh, 24:20 is No Remorse from rabi ribi

[@squirtle0528]

Ha, I recognized xenon by Mr. T as the theme of the last world.

[@shoelace7434]

this must be what aiai sees in his nightmares

[@RixoRama90s]

Where can I find the tracks the music

[@Rinne_コロンビーナ]

I've been trying to find the music especially in world 2 😭Have you already discovered what the osts are in each world?

[@1e1001]

@@Rinne_コロンビーナ i believe the world 2 music is from a sonic game, not sure which though

[@melodywhispersong9541]

I swear i heard music from rabi ribi!? At 24:58

[@rossseed1451]

Ace!

[@cloudglider]

they made KAIZO for this game?!?!?!

[@TheFireHawkDelta]

World 6 music giving me Irisu flashbacks lol

[@ItsSudonim]

Bro, why does world 6 have Rabi-Ribi music???
Hearing that gave me whiplash lmao

[@Jaknife101]

No three words have ever struck more fear into mortal men than
Kaizo
Monkey
Ball

[@mjul7003]

They make this look SO EASY but I know from playing SMB that it is not easy at all

[@TheOctoJon]

weird hearing xephyr from ddr on the soundtrack

[@NongIng]

What evil made this

[@yoshi6421]

The audience death counter was quite funny!

[@Cunningline]

Monkey game

[@AustinStanley1]

Dang, did he ever answer why people don't run this mod?

[@cbob1284]
