Ooh, that's cool as hell! Figures they kept it in the replies, though. Given that you need a twitter account to see those.

Here's the link for everyone else. You play as an empty ball, so I guess this is just Super Empty Ball? Also, the game doesn't progress after beating in Beginner, instead starting the timer back up after a little.

Also tried a bit, this is actually the coolest thing ever. Don't know how they get these games to run in browsers but it's impressive as hell.
These keyboard controls are the hardest thing ever that's for sure!

Actually my first time playing Super Monkey Ball. Quite appealing, I must say. Might play it properly with a Gamecube controller sometime.

The closest I ever played to this was Hamsterball for PC in my childhood.

Hamsterball is a Marble Madness clone, but I get what you're saying with its similarities.

They're not the same games as the original PC and Xbox Live versions. It's a POV remake with a complete re-design.

Ooooh boy Ciro you are in for a treat! Playing with the Gamecube controller is the best way anyway because of those notches.
I couldn't imagine myself playing MB with something like the duke xbox controller... or worse yet the PS2 controller (where the game also runs at 30 fps, RIP).

i looked up the XBOX release of Deluxe and its prolly the definitive version for the classic releases. Unless the ridges of the GCN is a make or break
