Super Monkey Ball: Step & Roll is a party game developed for the Nintendo Wii, featuring ball-rolling gameplay and a variety of challenges. Building on its predecessor, it introduces a co-op mode where players can assist one another by removing obstacles. While it includes support for the Wii Balance Board, many players find the experience inconsistent. Overall, it delivers enjoyable gameplay, especially when played without the balance board.
Super Monkey Ball: Step & Roll, like the previous Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz, is a fun ball-rolling design with a nice stack of challenges and a hit-or-miss pile of mini-games. There are some neat inclusions like the Super Mario Galaxy-like co-op mode where other players can shoot obstacles out of the players’ way. The added balance board support wasn’t that much of a selling point for me – on paper it sounds like a match made in heaven but in practice it’s just a great big load of frustration. Skip the balance board support and you’ll have a good time.
