Marble Madness + Katamari? How did I never play this before?

With every successive level, I think it can't get more insane, and then it does. Mini-games are fantastic-- Pilotwings style landing game, dogfighting, billards, golf... and I still haven't unlocked about half of them. Actually worth the $8.50 it cost to rent from Blockbuster!

Even rolling up bananas inside the credits while avoiding the names and doubling in size with invincible stars could once have been a great game in and of itself.

it costs $8.50 to rent a game from blockbuster? jesus christ...

It isn't worth the 8.50 to rent it because it only costs like 20 dollars.

It's a good game but not as good as Marble Madness or Katamari.

The multiplayer is a lot more fun than Katamari's. More fast-paced and conducive to drinking.

It's a wonderful game. I just rented out the deluxe playstation version last night to see if it's better than the gamecube ones. I really liked the gamecube analogue for it though. It's also literally the only videogame i could ever get the gf to play which must mean something.

I think I'm just going to keep it until I own it... after a while they just charge you the cost of the game minus the rental fee. If I still have it in three weeks I'm going to guess it'll be worth keeping.

Also, it is way better than Marble Madness. Come on now. Just as much demanding precision, but with levels of a ridiculously higher caliber, far more varied and creative.

Also, where Katamari can be sort of mellow and meandering at times, Super Monkey Ball is pretty unrelentingly intense. It's like Katamari on cocaine.

Maybe I'll give this one another try. It was kinda... overstimulationy.

I've been playing it for about 24 hours and my brain kinda hurts now.

It is a little over-cutesy for my tastes, and my tastes allow for a pretty heavy dose of cutesy.

Yeah, OMG the cut scenes... Eep.
