Swing Shaft

For other "Swing" stages, see Swing (disambiguation).

Swing Shaft is the 39th Expert stage in Super Monkey Ball 2 and the 78th Expert stage in Super Monkey Ball Deluxe. It also appears as the 188th Ultimate stage with continues and the 228th without continues.

In Story Mode, it appears as World 8-9 in Super Monkey Ball 2 and as World 8-15 in Super Monkey Ball Deluxe. It is given a 6 out of 10 difficulty rating.

Description[]

There is a long, rectangular block that tilts left and right. Down the middle of the block lies a row of smaller blocks that are evenly spaced apart. The goal is on a C-shaped platform on the other side of the tilting block; there are four single bananas on the C-shaped platform.

Goal Tutorial[]

Get close to the tilting block, and get on the side that is lower when the block is about to tilt in the other direction. As you roll forward, balance yourself, and smoothly slide in between two of the smaller blocks to get to the other side of the block as it tilts the other way. Getting off the block and onto the C-shaped platform is considered tricky because you have to roll on a narrow path perpendicular to the tilting block. When you are ready, head onto the narrow path in the direction of the next tilt, so the block lifts you high enough to let you roll onto the path. The goal is on the other side of the C platform.

Changes in Banana Mania[]

The block no longer tilts faster in the Challenge Mode version.

Trivia[]

The speed of the tilting block is different between the Clock Tower Factory variant and Volcanic Magma variant. In Clock Tower Factory, it tilts every five seconds. In Volcanic Magma, it tilts every three seconds.
