News   Portable Monkey Ball Not What You Think
- Posted By Dan Doll, 08.15.2002

Sega's simian superstars are rolling straight onto your cell phone in Sega Monkey Ball from Sega Mobile. The basic idea is simple enough: just guide your spherically-encased monkey to the goal line while collecting bananas along the way. Ah, but gravity is a harsh mistress, and if you tilt too far, you'll send your monkey to the great void below. The same precarious action you expect from Monkey Ball is here in glistening 2D, along with some all-new features, including different terrains, wind, and black bananas that will redefine the term "shock the monkey." So follow the bouncing, crashing, and plummeting ball, and start monkeying around with your wireless phone, Sega-style.






  • The Nintendo GameCube hit comes straight ballin' to cell phones.
  • 15 levels filled with different gameplay elements.
  • New obstacles including wind, various terrains, and yucky black bananas.
  • Auto-save feature lets you suspend play at any time.
  • Painstakingly rendered monkeys -- you’d think you were watching PBS!
  • Made for Sprint vision-enabled phones.


To order Sega Monkey Ball, follow the instruction here. According to Sega, "Purchasing one of our games will dramatically improve the quality of your life."
