I purchased this game for my 5 year old daughter. She loves to play it if her daddy stops playing long enough to let her have a turn! My 8 year old loves it as well. This game is lots of fun and very addicting!

Very bad, but good sides too

Well, Super Monkey ball Jr. has lots of flaws. For one, the levels are much more difficult and the control is terrible, which makes it slow. The graphics are mainly 3-D but still low difintion 3-D. But the minigames are much easier. Since you are "slower", and the level is much more close up. I'll wirte the rest of the review tonight.

One of the best GBA titles

Monkeyball Jr. has all the fun & addictiveness of the console versions - just abbreviated a little. I just wished the makers would of added monkey target to the mix (my favourite mini-game)other than that, it is by far one of the best titles GBA has to offer. No more has to said about this one....Go Get It!!!

Great traveling extension --------

Other than that, once you get used to the control and anticipate turns and gaps in the floor it is pretty fun. Take this on your next plane trip to pass the time. The mini games are what round this out. The monkey golf one is really cool. And Monkey Fight is so frantic and fun you'll laugh your @$$ off just because you're having so much fun (sort of like how Mario Kart did for me all those years back). So far I've played this game more than I have any other GBA game that I own.

Basically it's marble madness in 3D. Instead of a trackball or analog stick you have the D-pad. Not the best control for something like this, but the game is playable and that's all I ask when it comes to gameplay. Rather than you moving the ball around you tilt the floor to get the monkey-in-a-ball to move. This can be disorienting to those expecting to have a stable floor to move around on but a tiltable floor lends challenge to the gameplay in my opinion. The camera can get frustrating, but the stages are simple enough so that you can anticipate/memorize what's behind the camera. No action buttons used except in the menu screens and mini games. And even then it's not too complicated.

Those looking for a challenging game that you can get into right away and that doesn't require a couple hours reading a strategy guide will find this game very enjoyable. This is arcade puzzle action. Not a RTS or a MMORPG.

The Best Monkey Related Arcade Game Ever!!!

Super Monkey Ball Jr. Even the title makes a person wonder what could a Monkey Ball be? Well, its quite simple: Its a monkey in a ball. So what would be fun about a monkey in a ball rolling around to get bannanas before the time runs out? And how would you make a mini game about a monkey ball? Well, the answers to these questions are simple too. You are one of 4 monkeys, AiAi, MeeMee, Baby, or GonGon. There are 10 Begining Stages, 20 Advanced Stages, and 30 Expert Stages. As you start to play the main game, the words Ready appear. Tension rises as the game yells Go and you are off! You must get to the goal before the time runs out. But what would be the fun in that if they didn't have bannanas? You don't have to get all of the yellow fruit, but if you do and you make it to the goal in time, the reward is double the points. That is pretty much the main game, and as most games progress and get harder, this one gets more challenging, fun, and exciting! With Extra Levels in each mode, and Mega levels, the main game will keep you playing over and over. But why is it called the Main Game? Well, of course, you have to have mini games! There are 4 mini games, but one is for 2 players only. The other three are for up to 4 players. They are Monkey Fight, Monkey Bowling, and Monkey Golf. The mini game for 2 players is called Monkey Duel. These have nothing to do with the main game. The Bowling and Golf are like an ordinary game of Bowling and Golf, only the Golf ball and Bowling balls are the Monkey Balls. The Monkey Fight is a battle on 3 different stages between however many monkeys are playing. Or if there is only one person playing the game, his or her monkey ball can play against 3 computer controlled monkeys. I own this game and i can not put it down! Some THQ games are boring, but this one isn't! Here is my opinion.

Pros:

Great Music! Even though there are a few songs only, it is actually good!

Great Graphics! The Monkeys in the balls are kind of blury, but everything else is fantastic!

Cool stages! Every stage is challenging and fun! I still have a hard time staying on the platform on the first level!

Mini games are awsome! If you are bored of playing the main game and want a break, you can play the mini games!

There are some Cons though.

Cons:

ONLY 3 MINI GAMES! They could have gotten away with 4 or 5 mini games instead of just 3 single player!

THE MEGA STAGES ARE WAY TOO HARD! With dark music and a room that seems to be filled with lava, the mega stages are way hard!

Everything else is great! I gave it 5 stars! I do have some advice! If you like to use codes on your games, there is only one you can use on this one! It is Enable all. But if you use the Nice Try Mode code or the Super Blocky Mode code, it will mess up your graphics, that's all! Why would someone want to mess up your graphics so you would have to start all over to get them back to normal? Its a sick world out there! Anyway, i think this game is the best Monkey arcade game out there on the Game Boy Advance! BUY IT NOW!!!

I have a question for the makers of the Super Monkey Ball Jr. Game. (Where is Super Monkey Ball Jr. 2)? Please make one!

the best game in the history of games

Super Monkey Ball Jr. is the best game I've ever played. It took me a few tries to unlock Monkey Bowling, Monkey Golf, and Monkey Fight. When you unlock all the mini games, it gets to be a lot of fun because that's when the action really starts. My favorite mini game is Monkey Fight because it's kind of like boxing. In Monkey Fight, there is a big boxing glove to help you knock other fighters off the ring. Monkey bowling is also lots of fun because you try to knock the pins down. I would give this game five stars.
