Alternative is the 3rd Beginner Extra level in Super Monkey Ball 2 (8th in Super Monkey Ball Deluxe), World 2-10 of Story Mode in Super Monkey Ball 2 (World 2-18 in Super Monkey Ball Deluxe), and the 48th Ultimate level without continues.
Description
The level is made up of one diagonal platform, eight square platforms, and one small, goal platform. There is a fast-forward switch on the diagonal platform, but there is no play switch. When the level is played, the square platforms will move in and out of formation, with the sides and corners moving at different times.
Goal Tutorial
This goal is considered slightly easy. Head onto the diagonal platform to the end. Do not press the fast-forward switch. Wait for a square platform to approach you, and get onto it. Cross onto the platform closest to the goal. Wait for it to approach the goal. Then, head into the goal.
Faster Strategy
If you want to reach the goal faster, press the fast-forward switch. The platforms will move twice as fast, and it will be harder to keep your balance on them, so push much harder on the control stick when the platform on which you are is moving to stay on course. Also, push the control stick earlier when switching between square platforms.
Changes in Banana Mania
While the Story Mode version of this level is unchanged in Banana Mania, the Challenge Mode version now features a different movement pattern for the platforms, where instead of the stage alternating between the side and corner platforms moving out, the cycle now includes all of the platforms moving outward every third step. Overall, this makes the stage take longer to complete. This also means that the 2 versions of the stage are no longer identical in Banana Mania.
