How to fully enjoy this remake

By Clockwyrk

Alright so you've decided you wanna get into some monkey ball, you may or may not have been here before, and you are wondering what in the world you should be doing.
Party games to see what you find fun? jumping right into the main game? story mode? or maybe challenge mode if you played monkey ball in the past?
Whatever you are here for, you are missing some very important steps before fully diving in. it is time to change that in 8 simple steps.
Without further ago,

Steps in order:

1. Purchase the game
2. Opt for the classic soundtrack or digital deluxe edition
3. Download and launch the game
4. Open settings in the game
5. Set to classic tracks right away
6. Play the game normally
7. Watch as years melt off you and you are taken back to your younger years, enjoying the music of monkey ball
8. Reach Inner Peace

Thanks for coming to my ted talk.
Monkey Ball 2 Classic tracks > New ones

Happy rolling!

i taught this would guide to a mod that could remove the helperfunction demands& controller support but this is good too

Masterpiece.. EXCEPT! You should add that changing your Steam controller settings under game controller settings, and left stick additional settings to a SQUARE instead will make the game way more enjoyable.

I was dumb and didn't realize the pre-order version came with $15 worth of classic DLC stuff.. really annoyed that I need to spend more money just to enjoy things that should be in the base game.

@Clockwyrk Absolute tragedy

@Tipzay sadly it was removed. you can't play in multiplayer for main

Does anyone know how to play the main levels in multiplayer? I can't seem to figure it out.........

@Gilamex just look up Amusement Vision and you can read the Wikipedia article about AV.

TLDR: AV was a subsidiary of Sega founded by Toshihiro Nagoshi. Then AV was dissolved and became New Entertainment R&D Dept. with Nagoshi as the head. Eventually NE R&D became Sega CS1 with Nagoshi still as the head. Then within Sega CS1, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio was formed and they are the developers of this game.

PS. RGG Studio is named after the Yakuza games they developed.

Thank you for adding that link for the old announcer, that's a HUGE improvement on the game for me

(Part 2/2)
One last thing, seeing them change some of the stage names breaks my heart. I don't remember most off the top of my head, but specifically URL and AV they changed to "Push Bar" and "Final Stage". The fact that the final stage still somehow technically functions despite it being entirely different geometry is pretty impressive. It just makes me feel old. A web page that no longer exists (or whatever it actually brought you to), and the fact that AV just seems to have disappeared or sega completely disassociated itself with it (idk if there was a fued, or if AV just collapsed as a company, but it just makes me feel old. Blech.)
