For example, if you were to look up Wet 'N' Windy's level Elementary, you would type "1-1" since it is the first world and the first level.* ------------------------------------------------------------ Introduction (intro) Hello everyone, and welcome to my FAQ. This is the first FAQ I have ever done so please don't flame me over this. My name is Jose Bucaro and have been around the gamefaqs board for a few years. I noticed that there was no guide up whatsoever for this game, so I decided I'd help out a bit and hopefully clarify some confusion people may have for this game. I have decided not to add anything concerning the multiplayer aspect of this game since I felt it wasn't necessary. All you will find here is just a Challenge Mode Walkthrough. Alrighty then, onward! -------------------------------------------------------- Controls (con) The controls should be simple enough to understand but can take a while to get used to. For this game, there are two ways to control your monkey ball. 1. Using the Stylus- Simply touch the screen and move your stylus as if you were moving the ball. to speed up, simply roll the stylus forward and to slow down, either take the stylus off the screen or move your stylus in the opposite direction. 2.Using the D-pad- I would assume you know how to use a D-pad, press where you want to go. If you want to slow down, press in the opposite direction your facing, or let go of the D-pad. (Pulling back will slow you down more than letting go). ---------------------------------------------------------- Challenge Mode Walkthrough (cmw) Ah yes the infamous Challenge Mode. In this section I will be giving a description for each level while giving a few pointers and tips on getting those bananas! -------------------------------------------------------------- Wet 'N' Windy (1) Stage 1 Elementary (1-1) # of Bananas 5 As with every monkey ball game, the first level is intended to be very simple. I trust you don't need help on this and you have plenty of time to get all the bananas. Stage 2 Sine Wave (1-2) # of Bananas 12 For this level, you can actually hold forward the whole time and still make it to the goal but its not advised since you will miss most of the bananas and its not going to help you later on either. Just take your time and swerve through the level, making sure you get all the bananas. It makes for good practice as you will need to be good at swerving later on. Stage 3 Curvature (1-3) # of Bananas 22 Your first stage where you can actually fall off! You can speed down the ramps if you think you're up for it, but you must make sure you slow down when you're getting closer to the bottom of the ramp or else you will fall off! Again this is one of those levels where you can take your time and get yourself used to how the ball reacts when going down a slope. Stage 4 Progenitor (1-4) # of Bananas 17 Don't let the railing alarm you, it may look like the ball is going to fall off but it is actually pretty secure in place. You can either go at a slow or moderate speed, just make sure you slow down at the curves or the ball will run off the rail. After you've passed the last curve, you should be able to go straight and into the goal. If you want to get those few bananas up in the air then you must gain some speed before you hit the goal so that way when you cross the goal, your monkey will gently float up to them. Stage 5 Bare *Bonus Stage* (1-5) # of Bananas 50 Your first bonus stage! This one is fairly simple. Move in a straight line while following a box like fashion, then proceed to the edge to get the last banana. Stage 6 Anaconda (1-6) # of Bananas 25 Don't let the name scare you. Go at a fairly moderate speed while making sure to slow down a bit at the curves. If you want to get the bananas on the edges of the slide, you must go moderately fast and turn just enough so that you get the banana and slowly slide back down onto the road. It can be tricky, especially if you're new to the Monkey Ball series I would avoid these few bananas for the time being. They aren't worth the trouble. Stage 7 Fluctuant Travelator (1-7) # of Bananas 14 The stairs can be a bit bouncy when you find the stair piece in front of you starting to rise up. If you don't want the ball to go out of control then slow down (you'll be hearing this a lot as it solves a lot of problems). I would take it slow and easy but not to slow because doing one stair piece at a time can take a long time. Stage 8 Swathe (1-8) # of Bananas 11 This level is fairly easy as well. Go straight onto the road and head to the front. Wait for the bridge to align and head for the goal. Keep in mind that the ball moves slightly on the bridge since it is moving. Stage 9 Assimilate (1-9) # of Bananas 12 This level can be somewhat tricky when you're trying to get used to the controls. For this level, cross the paths as they align and be careful not to go too fast so that you don't fly off the bumpers on the platforms. Take it slow but make sure to have a little bit of momentum, or else you won't cross the bumps. Stage 10 Spiral Staircase (1-10) # of Bananas 27 Don't let the stage setup alarm you, if you go straight down the stairs you shouldn't have a problem. To get the bananas that are near the end of the level, you have to get some bounce from your falls in order to reach high enough. You must and I repeat MUST slow down before the last stairs or you will roll right off and won't be able to stop in time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Junglistic Journey (2) Stage 1 Mini Bump (2-1) # of Bananas 4 Another easy level. Just go straight and you'll go right over the bump and into the goal. Stage 2 Double Scepter (2-2) # of Bananas 9 Follow the curved path to the goal, if you want that banana bunch that's hanging in the air, you got to build up some speed. Stage 3 Offsetting Incline (2-3) # of Bananas 12 Just go straight up the ramps, you will notice that the ramps have gotten a little smaller this time around. If your worried about it, then just take them slow but remember to get some momentum so you don't roll backward. Stage 4 Pincer (2-4) # of Bananas 11 Stay where the bananas are and you will be safe. Take it slow and pause when you get to a banana spot. Repeat the pattern and you'll be at the goal in no time. Stage 5 Depressions *Bonus Stage* (2-5) # of Bananas 49 The box like pattern like the previous bonus stage works well here again. The bumps will make it a little harder to keep straight, but you should still be able to pull it off. Stage 6 Starfish (2-6) # of Bananas 36 This can be a bit tricky, especially when you have no idea where the starfish is going to stop. The only side that takes you to the goal is the path with the single banana. As soon as the stage starts, get to the bottom left side of the octagon but go near the top edge of it. You must start running towards it right before the side with the single banana appears or you will be shot out of the starfish. It make take a few tries, but you'll get it right eventually. Stage 7 Deviant Drop (2-7) # of Bananas 15 Go straight, when you get to the slope, roll down where the arrow on the floor is and you should make it to the other platform.(Again don't roll too fast) Now turn and head for the goal. Stage 8 Receding Curves (2-8) # of Bananas 4 Take the path of slow and don't worry about falling off the sides because the things on the side help you stay inside. Do try to at least stay in the middle path to be safe. Stage 9 Displacement (2-9) # of Bananas 10 Wait for the edge square to come then walk right on the square. The squares themselves move fairly slow so don't pressure yourself on getting there fast. You can either take the squares slowly (making sure not to move when they separate from each other) or just quickly run across the squares as soon as they join and stop your self on the opposite corner and let the square take you to the goal. If you want the banana bunches, use the same method to get to the other corners. Stage 10 Labyrinthine (2-10) # of Bananas 16 You should get yourself familiar with this stage, as you will see it a few more times later on in this game, only with a few variations. Before you fret yourself out, slowly roll forward (but don't go too slow) and over the gap. Do the same thing for the next gap then slowly roll off the side of the little hill while making sure to stay in the little middle lane.Go straight on from here then turn and chose a road. Turn again and you'll be right at the goal after crossing another road! If you want the bananas here, you're going to have to move a little quickly so that you don't run out of time. Be sure to get the banana bunch behind the goal! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Blistering Sands (3) Stage 1 Racket (3-1) # of Bananas 7 Head straight to get to the goal. Roll on the edges if you want the 7 bananas. Stage 2 Basin (3-2) # of Bananas 12 Not much to say here. roll on a side and you'll hit the goal. If you want the banana bunch, Get some speed to hit it. Stage 3 Parasite (3-3) # of Bananas 43 Go down the pipe slowly, if you go too fast you will fly out the holes on the right side. When you get to the bottom, just head straight on and you'll hit the goal. If you're wondering about the banana bunches in the back of the goal, you must be going very fast in order to hit them, which can be tricky to pull off. When you go down the slide try to go as fast as you can, but you have to know when to slow down right before you hit a hole. Once you leave the slide, you should be able to get them when you hit the goal, it just takes proper aiming and speed. Stage 4 Web Matrix (3-4) # of Bananas 15 If you just go straight, you'll make it to the goal, just be sure to avoid the spinners. If you're scared to go straight up then just roll on the back outer row and follow the path. It will take you to the goal. Stage 5 Reverberate *Bonus Stage* (3-5) # of Bananas 40 I found that the easiest way to do this level is to tackle the box like shape diagonally. The spinners can be annoying, just be sure to avoid them and go straight in a diagonal fashion. Again, there should be plenty of time for this level. Stage 6 Beveled Edges (3-6) # of Bananas 12 Watch the slants and you should be fine. To get the bananas you have to roll off the squares when they are raised. Stage 7 Betting Course (3-7) # of Bananas 16 When you first glance at this level, you will notice that there are several paths, all with a spinning cylinder. The yellow one moves the fastest, while the green ones move moderately, and the red ones move slower than the others. What I like to do here is Take a green path and as soon as the yellow thing passes me, I go into that lane and head straight for the goal. Getting all the bananas here can be tricky, I believe each lane has a few bananas so you must carefully cross them without getting hit. be sure to get the bananas on the ramp behind the goal. Stage 8 Halo (3-8) # of Bananas 30 Pick a side and ride across. Try to stay in the lime green area so that you don't roll off the sides. Shouldn't have much trouble with this one. Stage 9 Infinity (3-9) # of Bananas 21 Pick a path, either side is fine since they both are identical. Keep it slow on the stairs so that you don't accidentally roll off the sides. Getting all the bananas can be a little tricky since you'd have to backtrack up the opposite stairs to get the ones you missed. Stage 10 Millipede (3-10) # of Bananas 8 It looks like the arms will smack you right off but don't be alarmed, the arms only hit where the red lines are. As long as you keep a steady pace and watch where the arms are, you'll hit the goal in no time. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fantascene Falls (4) Stage 1 Epicenter (4-1) # of Bananas 7 This is pretty much like Stage 1 in Blistering Sands, only you have to follow a curved path before you get to the goal area. Again roll on the edges to get the bananas. Stage 2 Wavy Brick Road (4-2) # of Bananas 11 Follow the wavy path straight. Again pretty simple Stage 3 Rollercoaster (4-3) # of Bananas 10 Another rail path like we saw in one of the beginning levels of Wet 'N' Windy. Take it slow but after you pass the little hill, you have to speed up in order to hit the goal (you should hit all the bananas here as well by doing this). Careful, if you go too slow, you won't make it to the goal and the colorful rails fall apart after you have ridden on them. If you go too fast, you will fly off the rail as well so try to find the right speed to go. Stage 4 Descending Rings (4-4) # of Bananas 5 From the beginning, go straight down the stairs and make sure to slow down before you get to the first ring. Roll straight onto the ring and turn around. Go down the slope, make sure you take it easy. Follow the trail and go down another slope again. Repeat, and you should make it to the goal. Stage 5 Cells *Bonus Stage* (4-5) # of Bananas 49 Does there seem to be a similar pattern here with bonus stages? Once again, get on a corner and start munching on those bananas in a box like fashion. Need I say more? Stage 6 Scythe (4-6) # of Bananas 9 Another painfully easy stage. Follow the little hills up to the goal. Stage 7 Serrated (4-7) # of Bananas 3 Wow, yet another easy and short stage. Follow the zigzag to the goal. Don't fall off now. Stage 8 Oscillating Waves (4-8) # of Bananas 23 Once you roll off the first hill, you don't have to hold forward anymore, just make sure to turn so that you avoid the spinners. Make sure to also stay near the left since that's where the goal will be. Stage 9 Oblivion (4-9) # of Bananas 11 At first glance the level may look really high........that's because well it is high. You'll want to roll off where the arrows point but be sure to get a little bit of speed so that you don't miss the platforms. The platforms will get smaller and your falls will be higher so be prepared to control your monkey once you hit the floor. The bananas are behind the 3 and 4th arrow platforms and the last one is near the goal. Stage 10 Whirl (4-10) # of Bananas 11 Go straight and get on the swirly path. Try to stay more on the left side to avoid falling down. As you wind down the path more, you should notice the path getting smaller. Try to stay up on the left more as usual, especially near the end so that you hit the goal and maybe even reach that banana bunch hiding in the corner. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Palarvar Lava (5) Stage 1 Deviation (5-1) # of Bananas 10 This level is pretty much a slide all the way through. Hold back, slow down and watch out for the sidebars and you'll do fine. Stage 2 Sword (5-2) # of Bananas 10 Go up the hills, avoid the walls on the inside of the next path, and then go straight on and avoid the spinners. You must gain a considerable amount of speed to reach the banana bunch at the end of the hills near the beginning. Stage 3 Slot (5-3) # of Bananas 9 Pick a side, ride the platform to the next, wait for it to reach the road, head to the goal. Simple Stage 4 Long Winding Road (5-4) # of Bananas 15 Not much to say here. The name says it all. Follow the path, take it slow, and don't fall off. Stage 5 Pit (5-5) # of Bananas 50 Get a lot of speed and try to stay on the sides to hit the bananas. Easier said than done. This one can be tough to get all 50 bananas in time. My suggestion is to practice if you want to get this level down. Stage 6 Conveyor (5-6) # of Bananas 23 As you are probably noticing, this game is starting to get a little more difficult. At the start of the level, wait for the spinner to pass then get on the left lane, Follow the path and after the spinner turns you must quickly turn with it because there will be another spinner coming fast behind you. Follow the path straight then quickly turn left again after the spinner has turned right. After this you should be in the clear. Just follow the path up and turn to the goal. Stage 7 Formation (5-7) # of Bananas 9 There are two paths here, the left one is easier since the holes are smaller and the right one has much bigger holes but holds a banana bunch. The path you chose is up to you. To get through here, simply roll on the sides of the platforms to avoid bumping around in the holes. Roll down the set of platforms and go straight to the goal. Stage 8 Swing (5-8) # of Bananas 18 Another tricky one. You must go off the swings when the backside is lifted and the front side is lowered. Don't go too fast or you probably hit the front side of a swing while its tilted up, which will cause you to bounce around. If you find yourself getting stuck on a swing, try to wait in the back of the swing until it starts raising, then step on it and dash off the swing. Stage 9 Tunnel Vision (5-9) # of Bananas 12 As you can see, the tunnels here not only spin, but they move up and down (slowly though). Take your time going from tunnel to tunnel, then just wait for the goal to roll around you and make a dash for it. Stage 10 Leviathan (5-10) # of Bananas 6 Similar to one of the previous world stages. This stage is back with a few variations. Roll up the little paths and take it easy on the stars so you don't fly forward or bounce off the side. Chose a path then when you get to the road with the purplish rails. Just follow it up to the goal slowly. Don't worry too much about falling here, the rails help you stay on the road. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ice Lolly Land (6) Stage 1 Meandering Road (6-1) # of Bananas 12 Very similar to stage 2 of Wet 'N' Windy, only difference is some of the side rails have been taken off. Follow the path to easily make it to the goal. Stage 2 Slalom (6-2) # of Bananas 12 Another easy stage, follow the path (doesn't matter which way you go) and you'll make it to the goal rather quickly. Stage 3 Coil (6-3) # of Bananas 18 This is basically a swirled path with the goal in the middle. Take this course at a moderately paced speed since the path is fairly long. Try to find the right speed so that it's not too fast to fall off and lose control and where it's not too slow to not make it in time. Stage 4 Tilted Stretch (6-4) # of Bananas 13 Go straight down the path but be sure to stay on the higher part of the tilt so that you don't slide right off the road. Again, shouldn't be much trouble. Stage 5 Roulette *Bonus Stage* (6-5) # of Bananas 50 When you see the stage. you'll notice is just a bunch of rings that spin in different directions. What I like to do as soon as this level starts is to speed down so that I go up the rings and land on the center. Grab the 4 banana bunches up there then proceed to go down to the rings below. Try to stay on a ring the whole time and just roll against where it's going so that you somewhat stay in place and the bananas just zoom into you. After that ring is clear, go to the next ring and do the same thing. Repeat that and you should do fine. Just remember that the rings all move at different speeds. Stage 6 Acute (6-6) # of Bananas 5 This stage will feel somewhat awkward since you have to purposely roll down and roll up to get yourself across. When you roll down, try to stay up as much as possible so you don't end up rolling down off the area. Be careful with the roads, making sure to go straight and everything should be alright. Stage 7 Menacing Conclusion (6-7) # of Bananas 19 This level is identical to Leviathan, the only difference is final road is thinner and has no railing whatsoever to protect you. After coming across this level a few times you should know the drill by now. As soon as you start, go straight, turn follow the road up, turn, go up another road, turn, up another road, then you should be at the final road. Look below on how to do this part. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here's a tip for how I maneuver myself on small pathways: While you are on the road trying to balance yourself and move on ahead, Pay attention to your monkey, not the ball itself. What I mean by that is pretend that the ball is not there, and you're trying to keep the monkey on the road. I find it easier this way since the monkey ball is clear, therefore you can totally see the monkey and I pretend that I'm walking the monkey along the path, instead of worrying about how thin a road is and how much smaller the road is compared to my ball (you will run into smaller paths than this later). I hope this trick helps you because it's worked wonders for me on the other Monkey Ball games as well. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stage 8 Impediment (6-8) # of Bananas 5 If you hold forward immediately when the word Go! is about to disappear, you should make it all the way through. Be sure to slow down as your getting close to the bottom of the stairs so you don't fly off. Stage 9 Free Ride (6-9) # of Bananas 22 There's 3 ways you can go about this level 1. At the start, go to one of the sides and try to roll yourself onto one of the red rails. Once you're on the rest is easy. Just Roll straight and up and your at the goal. 2. The normal way to do this would be to stay on the rolling platform and try to roll forward a bit as the thing moves so that way you don't skid off the back. The platform will start to turn all the sudden at some points so just try to go diagonal up as much as you can toward the higher side so that you don't fall off.3. Don't touch the controls at all period. Wait till the clock gets to about 48 sec and pull back a tiny bit and you'll be at the goal after getting a free ride there (literally). Personally I think it's much easier to go with Option 3 but it's your choice. Stage 10 Fluctuation (6-10) # of Bananas 12 By now you should be able to navigate yourself around the first path and up the little hills with no trouble. Cross the moving platforms while being sure not to fall off. When you get to the square with the next platform that moves, be sure to take note that the platform not only moves across but goes up and down slightly as well. Next, get a little bit of speed so that you can cross the gap and the same also goes for the little bump up ahead. If you want the up coming banana bunch, just floor it right off the ramp but be sure to slow down right after you hit the banana bunch. You will now notice 5 spinners. You will want to navigate around them very carefully because the gap between each spinner isn't really much at all and plus if you hit a spinner, you are very likely to hit another, which makes you even more likely to fall off. You should now see a thin road ahead of you, which again can be tricky. The D-Pad probably isn't a very good idea for doing stuff like this, but it's what I used for this whole game. Take the curve on the path easy and steadily while paying attention to your monkey and not the ball (refer to Stage 7- Menacing Conclusion in this world for more information on what I mean by this). It should be smooth sailing after the curve stops and the rest of the path just goes straight. You'll want to gain some speed at this point or else the end of the road going up to the goal will roll you back down. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tempest Storm (7) Stage 1 Deception (7-1) # of Bananas 4 Just hold up from the start and you'll hit the goal Stage 2 Lateral Undulation (7-2) # of Bananas 9 This level is pretty much like Serrated, the only difference is that the path is made into pieces and now rotate. Just be cautious and careful not to let the speed of the rotating floors get you. Stage 3 Suspension (7-3) # of Bananas 7 Yet again another repeated like level, only this time the swaying bridge is thinner and moves faster. Make sure to move around a bit while you're on the bridge so that you don't fall off from the movement. Stage 4 Undulating Road (7-4) # of Bananas 15 What a surprise! Yet another repeated level, follow the bumpy road to the goal, it shouldn't be that hard. Stage 5 Skatepark *Bonus Stage* (7-5) # of Bananas 46 This one can be somewhat tricky to get all the bananas in time. You'll want to get some speed and try to roll on the edges of the ramps to get the bananas. I believe there are 3 banana bunches in this level on 3 corners of the ramps so you'll want to make sure you get some speed so you don't roll off the corners. Stage 6 Congealment (7-6) # of Bananas 10 Another repeated level....sigh. just do like before. Wait for the square to come along then get on. Wait for the pieces to come together then make a run to the opposite side. Stage 7 Plummet Chasm (7-7) # of Bananas 15 After getting a quick view of this level, you realize that this is yet another repeated level. At the beginning just go straight down and bounce onto the next platform. Ride the moving platform (careful it moves a little quick) ride it across then just run to the next hill and slide down. Roll to the goal and you're done. Stage 8 Tornado (7-8) # of Bananas 21 Finally a new level that's well.........NEW! As you begin, start rolling down the path while making sure to slow down a lot and staying a bit to the left. The red railing on the sides will seem to be there sometimes, while other times its not. Either way, it's no big deal. Just take the level slow, you've got plenty of time to pull it off. Stage 9 Rippling Road (7-9) # of Bananas 10 This is pretty much like Wavy Brick Road, only smaller and bumpier. Ease up on the speed and you should be able to do this without breaking a sweat. Stage 10 Rotary Bypass (7-10) # of Bananas 12 This is going to be one of those levels you hate thanks to its horrible camera angling. You should be able to get across on the platforms when they are on the bottom part of the rings but be very careful if you're trying to roll across the platforms when they are on the top of the rings. It is very hard to see what you are on and makes it harder to judge when to go to the next platform. Also keep in mind that as the platforms are going up, the ball naturally gets rolled to the side so be sure to push left a bit as the platform rises so that you don't roll off. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meteorite Mayhem (8) Stage 1 Hollow Diamond (8-1) # of Bananas 10 Simple, go to a side and make a run for the goal. You will need to come back here later on to get the 12th world. (See unlocking Worlds 11 &12 Section for more details on what to do). Stage 2 Spiral Under Stars (8-2) # of Bananas 13 For this stage, I recommend that you don't follow the stairs all the way down. The stairs will get smaller and smaller, making it harder to go down. Save yourself some trouble and go down the stairs until you get to the 3rd banana. Land on the platform below the banana then stop! Roll off the top right edge of this platform very carefully and slowly and you will land right next to the goal! Stage 3 Back Round (8-3) # of Bananas 20 You should be able to get across this level without much trouble........until you come across the final part of the road toward the goal. The road gets significantly smaller at the end and is pretty much all curved. Try to keep the monkey in the middle of the road (which can be easier said than done). Again try to imagine that the ball is not there and keep a close watch on the floor that is underneath the monkey. Look up Menacing Conclusion in Ice Lolly Land (6-7) for more tips on how to roll on small pathways. Stage 4 Staircase (8-4) # of Bananas 3 Hold forward the whole time. The ball won't make it past the last step however, so be sure to go to the back of the stair piece and ram forward to make it to the goal platform. Stage 5 Spinning Sun *Bonus Stage* (8-5) # of Bananas 54 As soon as the stage starts, go straight ahead and onto the spinning ledge with the few bananas and a banana bunch at the end of it. Try to slowly move with it to the left as to avoid falling off and being especially careful when grabbing the banana bunches. After you complete one row, go back to the green ring and grab the single banana on your way across to the next ledge. Repeat this process and all the bananas will be yours. Stage 6 Parallel Peaks (8-6) # of Bananas 21 This level can be very easy if you want it to be. Go up to the first down hill part and drop down slowly. As soon as you hit the curve, hold forward all the way up but let go of the D-pad (or touch screen) immediately after you go off the first ramp. As you are about to hit the next ramp, hold forward again and once again let go immediately after you go off of it. Repeat these steps and you'll have this one down easy. Stage 7 Circular Waves (8-7) # of Bananas 12 If you turn around 165 degrees to your left and go straight off the starting platform, while watching your speed and bounce, you should be able to hit the goal on the blue ring. If you miss, don't fret. Stay on the blue ring and move backwards slowly so you don't roll off the stage. Be careful with the spinners the appear behind you and you will eventually roll across the ring to the goal. Stage 8 Obstacle Course (8-8) # of Bananas 27 Another familiar level with slight changes. As soon as you start, go straight and slow down when you get to the road that slants down like a hill. Move across the middle row and get to the other side. Go straight down this path and slow down before you get to the jump. Make sure to try to turn right as you bounce so that you don't roll off the side. from here just go straight and carefully cross the corners of the 2 yellow and light green platforms. Stage 9 Pinball Pursuit (8-9) # of Bananas 35 When you get to the flippers, try to get near the points so that they can hit you farther up. Avoid the spinners and try to land in the goal. If you go over where the goal travels then its ok, try to aim at the goal while you're falling back down. To get the 4 banana bunches at the top you need to carefully get the spinners to push you up there and try to land on the purple road. Road to Nowhere (8-10) # of Bananas 10 You will have to speed through this one I'm afraid. There just isn't that much time to be fooling around. Try to take it fast but not to the point where you have no control over the ball on the ledges. You must move fast and steady. Once you get to the top you should be fine as long as you're careful not to bump into the outside of the goal ring. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Big Bang Boom (9) Stage 1 Gyration (9-1) # of Bananas 5 Another easy one follow the path to the goal. Stage 2 Converse (9-2) # of Bananas 3 Wait for the platform to come up then make a dash for the goal. You will need to come back here later on (See Unlocking Worlds 11 & 12 for more info). Stage 3 Motion Gear (9-3) # of Bananas 18 Ride along the gear sides and carefully cross to the next one. The gears get smaller as you go along but its nothing to worry about. At the end will be an arrow like object, ride it and wait for one of the tops of the arrows to get to the goal and go inside. Stage 4 Deflecting Protrusion (9-4) # of Bananas 11 Follow the Banana trail and you'll be safe from the red walls that pop out. Stage 5 Rotary *Bonus Stage* (9-5) # of Bananas 55 At the start, roll straight ahead and get that first banana bunch. Then go down and roll in a circular motion. Tip forgetting the bananas on the yellow ring is to try staying in the line between the yellow and the green sides. You will still hit all the bananas in the yellow ring if you do it correctly. Getting the 3 other banana bunches can be tough. Be sure to get a lot of speed and try running straight at them since turning towards them doesn't seem to work well here. Stage 6 Armada (9-6) # of Bananas 10 It's longer but easier if you just stay on the outer squares. Pick a side, left or right, and follow the squares to where the banana bunch is. Turn and go straight across the next set of square and you should make it to the goal. There should be plenty of time for this level. Stage 7 Trail (9-7) # of Bananas 9 You can hug the ledge of either wall's side and go straight on from there till pretty much near the end of the level. You have to stop eventually because the last part has holes on the sides. Just stop and walk across a path in the middle and you'll make it to the goal easy. Stage 8 Pendulum (9-8) # of Bananas 8 Run along the gray road as soon as you start and be ready to cross to the red side. Quickly try to pass the leg in the middle of the road from the right side and turn left immediately afterward so that you can land on the gray road in time. Keep straight and once again get on the orange platform before making it to the goal. This will probably take some practice to get the timing for when and how much to turn in order to make it to the other platform. Stage 9 Wheel of Fortune (9-9) # of Bananas 15 This level is easier if you put some speed into it instead of taking each rotating piece at a time. At the start of the level, turn to the right and wait for the first yellow and Green paths to align. Immediately run off of them and make sure you never stop moving. You should jump over the little gap where the dark colored squared should be and land on the green platform but watch out for the spinner. As you are still dashing you should be able to jump over the next gap and right to the goal. It may take some practice, but it can be mastered. Stage 10 Starlight Express (9-10) # of Bananas 21 The easiest way to do this would be to go forward as fast as you can and wait till the clock hits around 56:30. Once the clock hits this time, immediately go off the left side of the road while keeping somewhat straight and you should be able to hit the goal. After practicing this, you'll find that it's much easier to jump than spending a lot of time going around the swirl. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Zero G Station (10) Stage 1 Ascension (10-1) # of Bananas 6 Follow the ramps up to the goal. Stage 2 Rails (10-2) # of Bananas 18 Pick a path you like. The smaller ones have more bananas on them but are obviously more difficult to cross. Just pick the path on the very left to have an easier time with this. Stage 3 Perpetual Motion (10-3) # of Bananas 11 Take it easy and watch for the pendulums. Wait for the pendulums to go across before trying to move on. Stage 4 Scraper Descent (10-4) # of Bananas 4 Go slowly and try to calculate where the ramps are. Be sure to hold back once you make it across the gaps so that you don't roll straight off. The farther into the level you get, the smaller the ramps get so try to aim as straight as you can. Stage 5 Drop Downhill Drop *Bonus Stage* (10-5) # of Bananas 50 Hold back as you try to move left and right to get the bananas. The road will start to get smaller and you'll also notice that the bananas will start to line up in the center so try not to move when you get there. Side note: If you hold forward during the whole level, you will hit 36 of the 50 bananas. Stage 6 Entwined (10-6) # of Bananas 21 This level is exactly like Infinity, the only difference is that the level is a little longer and the stairs are thicker. You will bounce more here so I suggest you pull back once you're monkey starts speeding up by itself. Stage 7 Intertwined (10-7) # of Bananas 15 You can either stick with the Bluish path or go on the orange path. The only difference is that The light blue path tends to stay up higher and goes down hill while the orange path tends to stay lower but likes to slant up hill. The choice is yours, both take you to the goal. Stage 8 Revolution (10-8) # of Bananas 12 This level is exactly like Rotary Bypass, the only difference is that some of the platforms have been made longer but thinner. The goal has been lowered as well. Just follow the same strategy as before and remember to keep rolling on the side that platform is moving towards so that you don't fall off. Stage 9 Sieve Track (10-9) # of Bananas 7 This level may look crazy but it's very simple. As soon as it starts, hold forward all the way and after you pass the 2nd red block's area, stay a bit on the ride side of the track and you'll make it to the goal easy. Stage 10 Slinky (10-10) # of Bananas 28 Just go straight to the goal. Try to wait for the rings in front of you to lower before you attempt to cross them. Be sure to stay a little bit on the backside of the rings so that you don't accidentally bump into the other rings. When you get to the last ring, wait for it to go a little bit above the goal then just drop down onto the platform. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Unlocking Worlds 11 and 12 (uw) In order to unlock world 11, you must first complete the first 10 worlds. Then go to the stage Hollow Diamond in Meteorite Mayhem and Converse in Big Bang Boom. You must hit the red gates in each stage. In Hollow Diamond, as soon as you start, turn around and ride up the little purple ramp behind you. Be sure to take it slow and watch out because the platform below seems tilted somehow. The path will take you to the goal. In Converse, you just have to wait for the platform to flip to the red-gated goal and try to go in before you're tilted off the screen. After you hit both switches, a banana counter should appear at the bottom right of your top ds screen. The counter will not work until you complete world 11 however. After you've hit the gates, you can just exit the worlds. You will then notice that a new world has appeared on the screen called Studio One. Complete this world, and the banana counter will activate. Now go back to any stage and keep grabbing bananas till you get 2006 of them. You can repeatedly leave a world and come back and grab the same bananas you did before and they will still count. After you hit 2006 bananas, the counter will disappear. Go to the world select screen and world 12 Mesh Mosh will appear. Much thanks goes to jhurvid for contributing this tip to GameFAQS Cheat Codes and Secrets. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Studio One (11) Stage 1 Backslide (11-1) # of Bananas 15 This level is pretty much done backwards. Always pull back so that you don't go too fast. Try to keep yourself on the right side so that you don't roll off the left but sometimes you will get unexpected bursts of speed and may very well fall off the right side and have to start over. This one can be a bit tricky. When you get to the top, be sure to take note that the goal will be somewhat to the middle left of the red road. Stage 2 Cherry Drop (11-2) # of Bananas 17 Stay on the left or right side of the wall and go completely straight (You need the speed to make the jump). Right when you're about to launch off the yellow ramp, turn towards the middle and you'll hit the goal with no problem. Stage 3 Truffles (11-3) # of Bananas 10 Just hold forward very slowly and you'll make it to the goal easy. The key here is to stay in the gap between the pyramids so that you don't bounce out of control. Stage 4 Asymmetry (11-4) # of Bananas 26 Pick a path, the right side really isn't that hard and has 5 banana bunches on it. If you think it's too risky then take the left path. Be sure to get some speed up the ramps so you don't end up falling back. Try to line yourself up and go straight as possible. Stage 5 Scallop *Bonus Stage* (11-5) # of Bananas 50 Each ring has 10 Bananas on the green part of the ring and the top 2 rings have 2 banana bunches on the purple area opposite of each other. You shouldn't have a problem getting the bananas in the green area. Try to get some speed so that you can reach the banana bunches. After you get the bananas, simply drop down to the next ring and repeat until you are done. Stage 6 Transience (11-6) # of Bananas 14 Take your time and ride on each of the platforms. The platforms are big so you shouldn't have trouble with this one. Be sure to watch carefully when you get off the last platform. Stage 7 Divergence (11-7) # of Bananas 21 Steadily follow the left path straight to the goal. You can get a lot of bananas if you take the path on the right but be aware that you must go almost completely straight with some speed or you will either fall off the side or start to roll back down. If you make it to the top, just turn to the left and hop down to the goal. Stage 8 Wormhole (11-8) # of Bananas 2 Hold forward the whole time and slow down right before you get off the tunnel area to make it for an easy goal. Stage 9 Prohibition (11-9) # of Bananas 26 Be very careful with the red rectangles trying to push you off the course. You're safe as long as you stay on the blue lines but be careful because sometimes there may be unexpected gaps coming your way. Try to move somewhat quickly because the red blocks move fast. It may take a few tries to get the timing right. Stage 10 Locomote (11-10) # of Bananas 21 All the platforms are the same size here, the only difference is the farther down you go, the faster the platforms move. Move in the direction of the platforms and you should be able to make it across. Try to pay attention to the timing of each platform so you know when to get off and how fast to go. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Mesh Mosh (12) Stage 1 Whiplash (12-1) # of Bananas 30 Follow the path down and you'll notice these blue and red rectangles that push forward. Get in front of one and let it knock you forward. Try to pull back a bit after you go up the ramp so that you don't hit the next wall. Do the same thing 2 more times and you'll be done. The pushing blocks do get smaller as you go up and so do the ledges. Be careful so you don't accidentally fall down and have to climb all the way back up. Stage 2 Lickshot (12-2) # of Bananas 15 As soon as this level starts, head forward and turn a bit to the left or right to avoid the gap in between. Try to dive towards the goal while the platform is bent down. Stage 3 Spasmodic (12-3) # of Bananas 11 Try to go a bit fast as it feels very awkward and is somewhat hard to move around on the platforms if you go at a dead speed. Slow down a bit as you get near the goal so that you don't bump off into another direction. Stage 4 Gesticulation (12-4) # of Bananas 12 This level is basically stairs that go up and down like in Wet 'N' Windy. The only difference is the steps are laid out to the sides instead of just plain forward. Take it moderately slow and try to stop completely when you see the stairs in front of you is about to pop up. You will bounce a bit when it hits you, so try to stay in control so you don't roll off a side. Take it easy and you should do fine. Stage 5 Protuberance (12-5) # of Bananas 96 This level can be hard to get all the bananas. You'll notice that the green circle in the middle pops up and that there are tons of bananas floating about in the air. You have to get on the springy circle and try to aim at the bananas, which can be tricky since the bananas are always moving. The key here is to try to stay in the same position since the bananas move in a circular pattern. There are 3 banana rings here, which are located at the edge of the circle, a little more inside, and the other is somewhat close to the middle of the circle. Try to find the right spots and let those bananas fly into you. Stage 6 Gauge (12-6) # of Bananas 8 Go fast until you get to the part with no rails. Then take it at a moderately slow speed while making sure to roll diagonally into the direction of the road. As long as you take it slow you should be able to make it carefully across. Stage 7 Permeation (12-7) # of Bananas 12 Just go straight ahead while following the banana trail. Avoid the red lines at all costs because that is where the combs are going to hit. If you want to be safe, take this level one red line at a time. Go forward, pause, wait for the comb to pass the red line then go, pause, go, pause go. Once you get past halfway, the comb will start to speed up the farther down you go. Stage 8 Cavity (12-8) # of Bananas 17 Drop down the holes and try aim towards the corners of the platforms since that's the safest place to land. Don't try to just drop down the holes since the holes will get significantly larger, making it harder to land. Don't dash off from a corner either. Try to stay on a side and roll off of it while aiming at corner. Pull back when you hit the floor so that you don't bounce out. Stage 9 Aperture (12-9) # of Bananas 12 This one isn't too bad. There are 3 holes in each spinning circle. The lower you go, the faster the circles spin. Try to roll yourself backwards into the holes since going forward tends to through you off the ledge. When you get to the final circle that's red, try to stay around the edge but not too close to the edge. If you stay around that area, the goal should come around and hit you. Stage 10 Palpitation (12-10) # of Bananas 37 This one can be a bit tricky. You will notice that the goal platform is always constantly moving along the red line. As soon as you start off, roll forward and down onto the floor. If you look closely at the circles on the floor, you will notice that they spring up. As the goal platform is coming by, that is your chance to spring off and attempt to land into the basket, which is easier said than done. Make sure you don't spring off when the goal platform is too close to you, or you will not get enough height. Also keep in mind that if it's too far away, you will probably fall short since the goal tends to turn a lot. I think the time limit is your enemy here. Practice this level to get a feel for it before you tackle it in Challenge Mode. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Credits and Legal Stuff Copyrighted 2007 to Jose Bucaro.
