When you open the game, you will be greeted with the title screen. As the game instructs, press any key or button to get to the menu.

Once you are past the title screen, you will be at the main menu. The game will start you on the "Main Game" selection, and many beginners at this point will simply start up the main game and play through it. This is unfortunate, as players who do this are actually missing out on a majority of the games important content. What you will instead want to do is scroll one selection to the right, to where it says "Party Games" and select that.

You will now want to select your own character, it does not matter which character you choose to play as. If you have friends (UNLIKELY!) , invite them to choose their character as well, but otherwise you will want to press the proceed button. Next you will need to scroll down to the eleventh option, and select it. Now you are playing objectively the best part of Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania, Monkey Baseball.
