Super Monkey Ball 2 is a one to four player game.
Connect the Nintendo GameCube™ Controllers to
the Controller Sockets 1, 2, 3 and 4 (depending on
the number of players participating; see next page).

This software is compatible with Progressive Scan video output, using
the Component Cable (sold separately). Please refer to the instruction
manual of Nintendo GameCube™ for the directions on how to connect.

1 Connect your TV set and Nintendo GameCube™ with the

Component Cable.

2 Place the Super Monkey Ball 2 disc inside the GameCube™,

close the Disc Cover, and press the POWER Button.

3 After the Nintendo GameCube™ logo is displayed, press and hold

the b Button.

4 You will be asked whether to display in Progressive Mode. Select

“Yes” and the game will be displayed with Progressive Scan output.

Once the Progressive Mode is selected, unless the video cable is
changed, the Display Mode Select Screen will be displayed each
time the power is turned on, without pressing the b Button. Also,
depending on the type of television set you are using, the horizontal/
vertical ratio of the screen may be changed.

Super Monkey Ball 2 is a Memory Card compatible game [Nintendo
GameCube™ 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 GameCube™ power or remove the
Memory Card while the game data is being saved or loaded.

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.

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.

Except for a few games, use the Control
Stick to move the monkey in a ball. Detailed
Button functions will be explained in each
game. Press START/PAUSE during the game
to pause the game and display the Pause
Menu (p.10).

DR. BAD-BOON

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.

DR. BAD-BOON’S ASSISTANT

Play the game along with the story.

Story Mode

1 Player

Complete a series of stages
with various difficulties.

Challenge Mode

First, select from the three available Save
Files. If you select the blank (open) data, you
will start from the beginning. You will be
asked to enter your name.
If you select the data with previous gameplay,
you will continue from where you left off.

There is no “Game Over” in this mode, so
you can try as many times as you want until
you clear the stage.

There are 10 worlds in the mode, and each
world has 10 stages which you can select
and play in any order. When you clear all 10
stages, a movie clip can be seen, and a
brand new world becomes available.

There are three different levels available,
but it is recommended that you start
with BEGINNER.

Collect 100 bananas, and you gain 1 extra
monkey. Fall off the floor, or let the time run
out, you lose one monkey. The game will be
over when you lose all your monkeys.

The Enemies

With Story Mode and Challenge Mode (when
played by 1-player only), you earn a certain
amount of Play Points depending on your
performance within the game.

Play Points

Play Points can be used to unlock some of
the Party Games by spending certain
amounts. Earn as much as possible and
unlock them all!

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

● US 9 Ball — Rules

US 9 Ball is played with 2 players. You will play against either the
COM or another player.

As long as you hit the lowest-numbered ball
first, any ball can be sunk into the pocket.
You will continue your turn until you either
miss or make a foul.

Turns to Hit

You must hit the ball with the lowest number
on the pool table.

Which Ball to Hit

Your main objective is to sink the 9 Ball. As
long as the lowest-numbered ball is hit

first,

you may sink the 9 Ball with a combo shot

for
the win. If the 9 Ball is sunk while you make
a foul, it is placed back on the table.

Sink the 9 Ball to Win

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.

Foul

● JPN 9 Ball — Rules

Japanese 9 Ball is played with 4 players. COM players will play
the vacant places, if any, to fill in.

You get 1 point from each player if you pocket
the 3, 5 or 7 Ball, and 2 points if you pocket
the 9 Ball. You get double points if these
balls are sunk into side pockets.

Scoring

Each player is given 20 points to start the
game. The player with the most points after
all sets are finished wins the game.

Play for Points

You will continue your turn until you either
miss or make a foul.

Turns to Hit

As in US 9 Ball, you must hit the ball with the
lowest number on the pool table, but you
may sink any numbered balls. The 3, 5, 7
and 9 balls will, however, be placed back on
the table if they are sunk before their order.

Which Ball to Hit

When the 9 Ball is sunk in its proper order,
and if the cue ball stops at the breaking area
of the table, the same player breaks the next
set from the same spot. Otherwise, the next
player breaks.

Sinking the 9 Ball

As in US 9 Ball, it is a foul if a cue ball is
sunk or when the lowest-numbered ball is
not hit first. Any ball sunk will be placed back
on the table.

win the set if your score reaches more than
60 points.

Play for Points

It is a foul if the cue ball is sunk or when the
lowest-numbered ball is not hit first. Any
balls sunk will be placed back on the table.

Foul

● 8 Ball — Rules

8 Ball is played with 2 players. You will play against either the
COM or another player.

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.

The balls are divided into two groups: Solids
(1~7 Balls) and Stripes (9~15 Balls). After the
break, you will be assigned to sink the balls
of the same group you sank first, and the
other player sinks the others.

Which Ball to Hit

When sinking the 8 Ball, you must also call
the pocket to sink. If you sink the 8 Ball into
the pocket you didn’t call, you will lose the
set. Aim carefully and sink the 8 Ball into the
pocket you called to win!

Except when breaking, if the 8 Ball is sunk
before all your balls are sunk, you will lose
the set. You must sink all your balls in order
to earn the right to sink the 8 Ball. If the 8 Ball
is sunk on the break, the game will continue
with the 8 Ball placed back on the table.

Sinking the 8 Ball

If the cue ball drops into the pocket, or if the
cue ball hits the opponent’s ball first, it is a
foul. The next player can place the cue ball
anywhere on the pool table to take his turn.
