"From the very first seconds"
Tilting the stage to guide a monkey trapped in a ball to the goal: the concept is disarmingly simple, but balancing on the edge brings thrills and screams. This edition brims with levels and a host of competitive mini-games that turn the evening into collective hysterics. Elegant, demanding and fiercely convivial, a little miracle of dexterity.

Super Monkey Ball Deluxe (PS2) price, value & rarity
Is Super Monkey Ball Deluxe still worth playing in 2026?
A compilation from Amusement Vision and Sega, Super Monkey Ball Deluxe gathers the first two entries of the skill game where you guide a monkey trapped in a ball by tilting floating mazes, never controlling the ball directly. The demanding precision, the ingenuity of the layouts and the host of convivial mini games make it a fiercely addictive, festive title. The difficulty climbs fast and frustrates. An excellent skill game for fans of precision challenge and multiplayer mini games among friends.
