Super Monkey Ball is an arcade platform game developed by Amusement Vision and published by Sega. The game debuted in Japan in 2000 as an upright arcade cabinet called Monkey Ball (which featured a banana-shaped joystick) and was released the following year as one of the launch titles for the Nintendo GameCube.
Problems
Crashing
Starting somewhere before 3.0-750 frequent crashes occur during the intro. Can be corrected by disabling Dual Core.
NTSC-J Version
The NTSC-J version experiences various issues:
- The goal ball is misplaced and the goal tape doesn't appear at all.
- Sparks / stars created when moving at high speeds or running into walls do not render properly.
Configuration
Only configuration options for the best compatibility where they deviate from defaults are listed.
General

| 4.0-4163 | Ubuntu 14.04 | Intel i3-3220 @ 3.3GHz | Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 | Able to play through beginner all the way through. Crashes on opening cutscene seem to be fixed. Audio plays full speed even when there's framerate drops in menu/stages which is weird because of new synchronous audio, but otherwise HLE works well. Menus can slow down to ~30fps and the credits stage has major slowdowns but otherwise playable at full 60fps in average stages. | Xerxes |

| ^r7689 | Windows 7 x64 | 3.0GHz | Purrfect says Awesomecat! sound is bad, sadly. | Mr Awesomecat | |
| ^3.0-763 | Windows 7 x64 | Intel Core i3-2100 | nVidia GeForce GTS 450 x2 | Framerate depends on the world that you are on and what level and textures are being used. The levels with reflective gloss (eg: Bonus Levels and Monkey Mall levels) slow down everything (Note that this does not count for the aluminum textures on Level 18). Occasionally the finish line sprites (confetti, sparkles) cause framerate dips. Moving tiles like in Beginner Stage 8 (I think) causes framerate dips. Some of the sprites like the bomb-timer fuse are in the wrong places, the MPH counter text has a white square next to it sometimes, and the compass occasionally has a white square around it. If you finish Level 18 in Advance mode, the game will freeze. The game sometimes also freezes when you get a Steam message or "FRIEND IS NOW xxxx". | AnonSVN |
| ^3.0 | Linux x86_64 | Intel Core 2 Duo P7450 @ 2.13GHz | nVidia GeForce 9800m GS | Framerate is excellent. Certain sounds do not always play (seems to be random). TIP: Disable the MMU and related options and then the game will not slow down on Bonus or Mall levels. | maestro |
| ^4.0.2 | Windows 7 x64 | Intel Core i7-3630QM @ 2.4GHz | nVidia GeForce GT 630M | Average of 50 FPS in Beginner and Advanced. Sound doesn't work properly however. | almightybyron |
