On the level with the pyramids on the two sides: fly straight out to the middle platform, then hang a right.. you should be able to glide gently to the pyramid and drop right on the 200 or 300. use the 3x multiplier for more points

GameCube | Submitted by Blank XIII

Easy 500 Points In Target

On the 3rd rotation of courses on target, make sure you have brake ball (or what ever the one is where you stick to whatever you land on) go down the ramp normally, but once in the air glide down close to the water going straight. do this quickly. there is a very small island that is colored yellow, when you come close to it, use the brake ball to land on it with out rolling off. thus 500 pts. after a while this will become easier and easier. on average with this style i score 2200 pts in a 5 round game.

GameCube | Submitted by Justin Ziegler

Easy Ramp Trick

When your racing on the advanced space coarse, hit the speed ramp and hold up the whole time until you get to the room shaped as a ball. You will ramp off the edge and it will easily send you to the second room. still holding up, you will easily get out of the room without having to turn around, giving you a head start in the race.

GameCube | Submitted by Ken Baker

Monkey Target Tricks

After selecting a character to play as on monkey target mode you get an option screen which consists of a number and 2 options

1st option lets you choose how many rounds you play you can choose 5 , 10 or 15

2nd option lets you turns off the info at the top of the screen that says stuff like 2x and stuff

And the 3rd option lets you turn off the disc that spins at the start of your turn that decides playing conditions eg clouds , bombs e.t.c.

During the game to make landing easier to land on high point targets eg 100 points e.t.c before you reach the target hold the analog stick down and you will loose speed and altitute thus letting you land with out bouncing a lot and lets you close the ball above your destination getting you high scores.

It takes a bit to master but once you get it you should be getting the 200 targets easy

GameCube | Submitted by Ben Hinton

More Advanced Warps

On stage 18 in advanced mode in the main game, if you get to the green one you skip to stage 20. And if you get the red one, youll skip to a farther stage

GameCube | Submitted by Ken Baker

Warps

On main game mode on advanced difficulty when your on stage 6 you will see a ramp, get your monkey over that ramp and you will be on a platform go through the goal and you get warped to the bonus stage which is stage 10

Strikes 95% Of The Time

When You are playing Bowling mode on super monkey. When the arrow is going back and forth make it stop as far away from the pins as possible. Then do 3/4 of the power. Then spin at full power and you have a 95% Chance of a strike.

GameCube | Submitted by Russell

Get Red Warp Easy

On stage 18 of Advanced difficulty, there is a blue, green and red warp. An easy way to get the red warp is to just go forward a few feet then go off the right edge. You will fall on a lower platform. Just wait there and the red warp will come by in a few seconds

GameCube | Submitted by Ken Baker

Earning Points

The only way I know you can earn points in the game is by doing the main game with 1 player. You will not get any points for more then 1 player so if you wanted to do more then 1 player take it in turns of doing a stage. Under main game each difficulty will earn more points.

Some tips are

If possible get all banana's on the stage.

Even one stage will get points.

Try expert and do as much as possible even a few stages can earn a lot.

Retiring or exiting gets points.

Warping doesn't get less you still get roughly the same score after warping as you would by doing the stages you skipped.

And most of all dont stress out this game requires a lot patience and skill and can take a lot of lives and continues just to complete a stage if you cant pass a stage quite and you should be able to practice it on practice mode if not just keep trying or turn it off and go have a break and maybe calm down and relax and then go back and try to complete the stage.

GameCube | Submitted by Mike Mike

Warp From Stage 2 To Stage 5

On stage two of beginner turn around as soon as you start and you'll see a ramp go up the ramp as slow as possible and still make it over the edge. If you did it correctly you should see a goal gate that will take you to stage five.

GameCube | Submitted by Nicolo` Manfredi

Floor 26 Win (Advanced Level)

To win this floor, you must run on the board road and as soon as your ball starts to flicker fire jump off the side AND DON'T DO ANYTHING, It will automatically get the bunch of bananas then it will go up the hill and go back down into the goal!!!

GameCube | Submitted by Emanuel

Shortcut In Racing And Main Levels

To start ill tell you the shortcut in racing you probably only could it at this racing place. You start by going under expert mode and picking the 2nd one. Then after you get going a little faster you go where the first turn is (where the sign is)you might need a lot of speed. So when you go off the jump it ( could be risky by falling!) you could go off the other side and land there and then you'll be ahead of everyone else.

On stage 2 of beginner you'll also need a little speed but try not 2 fall off! The one on the 2nd level will lead you to stage five

SUPER MONKEY BALL UNLOCKABLES

Mini Games

If you want to be able to play all the mini games once you have earned 2500 points your game should be saved. Now before selecting which mini game to buy take your memory card out and select a game. Now if you want to play another mini game just restart start the console with memory card in, data will be loaded on game load automatically and once again on mini game mode take your memory card out before selecting a game.

GameCube | Submitted by Nathan

Unlimited Continues

At the start of the game for every 2,500 points you can buy a new mini game, but after you have bought all of the mini games (fairly easy to do) for all the next 2,500 points you get an extra continue after you get 5 extra continues you get Unlimited Continues forever
