Also, depending on the type of television set you are using, the horizontal/ vertical ratio of the screen may be changed. START/PAUSE c Stick Multiplayer Game ­ Simultaneous or Alternating With some modes, more than one player can enjoy the game, simultaneously or alternating. With simultaneous play, each player uses his/her own controller to play. Connect the same number of controllers as the number of players participating. When you select the number of players participating in the games with simultaneous play, you can only select up to same number of controllers currently connected. Save Files Super Monkey Ball 2 is a Memory Card compatible game [Nintendo GameCubeTM Memory Card (sold separately)]. 2 blocks of free memory are needed to save game files, and at least 2 blocks for each replay file. When you start the game, the game will look for the game file. If there are no Memory Cards inserted, the game will warn you and ask if you would like to Retry (insert the Memory Card first) or Continue without saving. If the Memory Card does not contain a game file, the game will ask you either to continue without loading (create new file), to retry, or to choose a Slot. If two Memory Cards, both containing the game file, are found, the game will ask you which to be used. Follow the on-screen instruction to start the game. When the game file is being saved, manually or automatically, a message will be displayed to notify that such action is taking place. Never turn OFF the Nintendo GameCubeTM power or remove the Memory Card while the game data is being saved or loaded. With alternating play, each player takes a turn playing. Therefore it is possible that more than one player can use the same controller to play. During the Character Select Screen, use the controller you are going to use to select the character.

He loves bananas so much that he always spends his carefree life thinking "The banana I had today was really delicious." Eat bananas, and he'll be in high spirits, able to overcome any hardship. Chanting a magical spell "Ei-Ei-Poo," he starts his adventure with Monkey Ball. MEEMEE She is the future bride of Aiai. Unlike carefree Aiai, she is a person...umm...monkey with firm character. Although she loves Aiai more than anything else in the world, it seems that Aiai loves bananas more than her. And that makes her a little discontent. A little bit tomboyish, she is very kind to everyone on Jungle Island. She always decorates herself with flowers that have a nice scent. BABY He came from the future to stop Dr. BadBoon's plot to prevent the marriage between Aiai and Meemee. He is in fact the son of Aiai and Meemee. He rarely cries, but once he does, he cries with the loudest voice on Jungle Island. Only Meemee can stop his crying. Save replay This can be accessed during the short playback after you crossed the goal, allowing you to save the gameplay of the stage you just completed to the Memory Card. How to play Displays the Lesson screen (p.6). Stage Select This can be accessed with the Story or Practice Modes, allowing you to quit the current stage and return to the Stage Select Screen. Exit game Quits the current game and returns you to the Main Game Select Screen. GONGON Yesterday's enemy is today's friend. He used to be Aiai's rival, but now they are best friends. He is quite rowdy, but places such a great value on friendship that once he becomes a friend he never betrays. Although he still is not big in size, he has great strength, as he trains himself every day to become the strongest monkey in the world. With Story Mode, you control Aiai. With Challenge Mode, Practice Mode and each mode of the Party Game, you can select from the four monkeys above. 10 11 Main Game The Enemies DR. BAD-BOON He is an evil-genius scientist from the future world. In the future world, he fell in love with Meemee and attempted to ask her to marry him, but she was already married to Aiai, and had had Baby by then. Thus he flew back in time to the days when Aiai and Meemee had not married yet. Dr. Bad-Boon tries all sorts of evil plots to separate Aiai from Meemee, but fails every time. While his perseverance is commendable, he is becoming a real nuisance to the inhabitants of Jungle Island, and has quickly become the island's most hated ape. DR. BAD-BOON'S ASSISTANT An ape without words. Other than being Dr. Bad-Boon's assistant, everything about him is covered with mystery. Even Dr. Bad-Boon doesn't know his name. Like a shadow, he follows Dr. Bad-Boon wherever he goes. Cold-hearted Dr. Bad-Boon would leave him behind and escape, but still he continues to be his assistant without any complaints. He appears to be very frightening, but in reality he is very bashful. Story/Challenge Modes Story Mode Play the game along with the story.

Foul If the cue ball drops into the pocket, it is called a foul. If the first ball hit is not the lowest-numbered ball, this is also a foul. The next player can place the cue ball anywhere on the pool table to take his turn. Sink the 9 Ball to Win Your main objective is to sink the 9 Ball.

If the Next Ball Indicator displays OPEN (either no ball has been sunk yet, or balls of both types have been sunk), you may sink the balls of either group. Look at the balls and decide which group is advantageous. Foul If the cue ball drops into the pocket, or if the cue ball hits the opponent's ball first, it is a foul.
