Passage is the 4th Master stage of Super Monkey Ball 2 and Super Monkey Ball Deluxe, as well as the 274th Ultimate stage without continues.
Description
This stage consists of a structure of blocks with a path leading from the starting platform to the first block. The blocks are positioned diagonally, so you have to go around the edge of the block between the two and hit the ledge at a quick enough speed to bump yourself on top of it. Furthermore, two sets of four massive rectangular bars are changing directions in a pattern, moving fast enough, making it where they'll knock the monkey off the cubes if he or she is not quick enough. A gap is located at the beginning, large enough for the monkey to fall through.
Goal Tutorial
Blue Goal
You'll want to start going forward at a nice speed. Depending on how fast you are going, you may want to slow down a bit once you get to where the gap is. Then, you'll need to glide across and wait for the large bars to switch off to moving back and forth along the cubes near the goal. Once that happens, you'll need to move very quickly to either one of the cubes on either side and then move across, so you're next to one of the cubes that's coming down from the top, Then, you should see the bars going horizontally, moving around you. Wait for them to switch off, and then do the same process to get to the last cube to which you need to get, where the goal is located. You'll need to slow down a bit so as not to roll off the last cube accidentally, or any of them.
Green Goal
You will want to get to the area past the gap in the ground and wait for both sets of bars to move to the opposites sides they are at the start - so the ones going horizontally should move to the left, and the ones going parallel to the start platform should move to the back. You will then want to go to the right block, fall down to the block below, and bounce over to the other block - then, quickly go back into the block where you'll find the green goal. This will get you to the green goal in about 40 seconds.
Shortcut
Go off slightly to the left while you are on the starting platform. And once you hit the bridge leading to how you normally do the stage, continue falling off, and go along the bar on which you land. You'll need to be near the middle, but farther to the right side of it and will need to aim yourself to the right. You have to be holding forward the whole time. Aim yourself so that you'll hit the left side of the cube at the back, and then you'll go into the goal box if not straight into the goal.
