- For the Advanced Extra and Expert Extra version, see Hard Hitter.
Hitter is the 2nd Beginner Extra floor in Monkey Ball, Super Monkey Ball, and Super Monkey Ball Deluxe, as well as the 42nd Ultimate stage without continues.
Description[]
This stage consists of a large square with a rotating Goal and five Bananas on the opposite side. The Goal is in a square object that spins around the area at a moderate speed, moving left and right in the middle of the square platform. The corners of the square object can hit the player and cause a fallout but only in certain circumstances due to the generally slow spin speed. The rotation slows down as the goal reaches the centre of the square platform, providing an opening to the player. This floor has a more difficult version in Advanced Extra and Expert Extra, which is known in Super Monkey Ball Deluxe as Hard Hitter. It also appears as Beginner Extra 1 in Super Monkey Ball Jr. without the goal being in a square.
Goal Tutorial[]
Wait for the goal to come to a slower speed. Then, approach and angle yourself towards the goal. Don't worry if you get hit; you'll probably stay on the floor. Alternatively, you can hold up from the start of the level and wait in between 29:48-29:55. Then, hold Up+Left, and you will reach the goal. Furthermore, you can use pause buffer to assist you in order to get the exact timing for this strategy.
Changes in Banana Mania[]
The goal is no longer contained within a small square object, and instead rotates freely. Despite this change, the stage does not appear in Original Stage Mode.
