***INTRODUCTION***

Hello, this is Ian H’s Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz walkthrough. 
This is the first COMPLETED Banana Blitz walkthrough on Gamefaqs!
If you wish to contact me for anything, 
please e-mail me at jorwjorw@yahoo.com. This is my first walkthrough 
I have ever made, and I think it turned
out quite nicely. 

Without further ado, let’s get on to the actual walkthough.



***WALKTHROUGH***

WORLD 1: Monkey Island

== 1-1 ==============
Difficulty: 1
Recommended character: Aiai
---Simple. Just run toward the Goal. If you don't like the 
control scheme, don't worry; you'll get used to it.
 
== 1-2 ==============
Difficulty: 1
Recommended character: Aiai
---Just run across the curvy bridge. There are fences on the 
edges, so you won't fall off.
 
== 1-3 ==============
Difficulty: 1
Recommended character: Aiai
---This floor is the same as the first one, but you need to 
jump onto a ledge. Press A to jump.
 
== 1-4 ==============
Difficulty: 2
Recommended character: Aiai
---Just jump up onto the platform and run to the Goal. You can 
get the bananas around the stage if you want.
 
== 1-5 ==============
Difficulty: 2
Recommended character: Aiai
---Just run across the field and jump over the fences when 
necessary.
 
== 1-6 ==============
Difficulty: 2
Recommended character: Aiai
---Run down the first hill, and be sure to slow down as you 
approach the bottom. You can run down the second
 hill as fast as you want because the Goal is right at the 
end of it.
 
== 1-7 ==============
Difficulty: 2
Recommended character: Aiai
---Run along the path and grab the bananas. Once you get to the 
bridge, be sure to slow down and avoid the 
stumps sticking out on the sides. You need to jump over a gap at 
the end of the bridge. The red board at the
 end shows that you need to jump. Remember that, because you will 
be seeing red boards throughout the entire game.
 
== 1-8 ==============
Difficulty: 3
Recommended character: Aiai
---This level is pretty tough for beginners. The birds will try 
to blow you off the stage, so try to lean 
toward the birds to even it out.
 
== 1-Bonus ==============
---Run along the circles of bananas. Easy.
 
== 1-Boss ==============
---This guy will try to blow you off the stage by flapping his 
wings. Ironically, you actually can't get blown 
off due to the barriers around the stage (unless you're jumping 
as he flaps). After he gets done flapping, he 
gets exhausted and he lowers his head. That's when you jump at 
the flashing red dealie on his head. The bird will
 occasionally stick its beak into the ground, which also allows 
you to hit his flashy dealie.




WORLD 2: Jumble Jungle

== 2-1 ==============
Difficulty: 3
Recommended character: Aiai
---Just wait at the red tiles until the bridges are in front of you, 
then wait on the bridges until the path 
is in front of you. Easy enough, but getting the banana bunches on 
the left and right can be pretty tricky. 
You need to jump to get them, and if you plan to get all four 
bunches, you’ll hardly have any time left to get to the finish.

== 2-2 ==============
Difficulty: 2
Recommended character: Yanyan
---This level introduces small pyramid-shaped tiles. 
They’re not a very threatening obstacle, and you can 
simpy roll over them slowly without much consequence. 
To get the banana bunches in this level, you need to 
run toward the stump, jump onto it, then jump over the 
fence. It’s pretty tough, even for experienced players.
 Once you manage to get the bananas, you’ll need to jump 
all the way over to the pathway to your left, then approach the goal.

== 2-3 ==============
Difficulty: 2
Recommended character: Yanyan
---Go down the hills at the beginning, and jump over the 
blue spinning thing when you come to it. 
Then go under the green spinning thing, and down the hill. 
Be sure to jump halfway down the hill. 
There are bumps right after the pit, so you’ll probably 
want to jump over those, too.

== 2-4 ==============
Difficulty: 4
Recommended character: Aiai
---Just jump over the gears when the time comes.

== 2-5 ==============
Difficulty: 3
Recommended character: Aiai
---At the end of the second hill, you will find a series of 
small platforms with banana bunches on them. 
It’s not very difficult to stay on the path, so feel free to 
grab all the bananas. Not only will you get a 
bunch of lives, but the path also leads you to the Goal!
If you don’t want to get the bananas, you can continue to the 
right and jump over the hurdles when they
 get close to you.

== 2-6 ==============
Difficulty: 1
Recommended character: Aiai
---Go across the spinning bridge. That’s really all the advice I 
have.

== 2-7 ==============
Difficulty: 2 
Recommended character: Aiai
---The tilting bridges can be tricky, but you shouldn’t have any 
problem jumping from one to the other.
And be sure to go very slowly when you get to the hill with the 
pyramid tiles.

== 2-8 ==============
Difficulty: 5 
Recommended character: Aiai
---It’s easy to just run through this level, but doing that would 
mean leaving many precious bananas behind. 
Jump onto the creepy concentric rings and pass from one to another 
to grab some bananas.

== 2-Bonus ==============
---Just run along the path!

== 2-Boss ==============
---When he unleashes missiles, wait for them to get close to you, 
then jump on top of them. For some reason,
 this makes the missiles turn around and hit him. If you are really 
good at this game, you can also go along
 a little obsacle course to grab a few bananas. This won’t stop him 
from shooting at you though, so it’s 
pretty tough to pull it off.




WORLD 3: Smooth Sherbet

== 3-1 ==============
Difficulty: 2
Recommended character: Gongon
---Use Gongon to plow through the spikes and grab the bananas. 
In case you didn’t already know, hitting 
spikes with any character other than Gongon will cause your 
monkey to be pushed in the other direction.

== 3-2 ==============
Difficulty: 2
Recommended character: Meemee
---Run down the half-pipe path. You can jump to get some bananas 
throughout the stage if you want, but 
it might mess you up a bit.

== 3-3 ==============
Difficulty: 2
Recommended character: Yanyan
---Grab some bananas if you want, then jump on the platforms 
to get to the Goal.

== 3-4 ==============
Difficulty: 4
Recommended character: Gongon
---Use Gongon to plow through the spikes and get the bananas. 
Be sure not to go too fast, because the 
platforms with spikes are pretty small.

== 3-5 ==============
Difficulty: 3
Recommended character: Yanyan
---Jump over the poles when they approach you. Be sure to aim 
for the bananas above them!

== 3-6 ==============
Difficulty: 4
Recommended character: Aiai
---Run down the hill slowly, while avoiding the trees.

== 3-7 ==============
Difficulty: 5
Recommended character: Aiai
---Slowly go along the snowball-filled road, while avoiding the 
traffic. It might be kind of tough to 
get past the snowball dispensers at the end of the road, but you 
shouldn’t have too much trouble.

== 3-8 ==============
Difficulty: 4
Recommended character: Aiai
--Roll down the path. Be sure to look out for the two gaps in the 
level.

== 3-Bonus ==============

---Run around in circles! Be sure to keep your momentum.

== 3-Boss ==============
---Left, middle, right, left, middle, right. That’s the simple 
pattern in which he throws the snowballs.
 Once you manage to get to the area where the boss is, he will 
begin to spin. While chasing you. If you 
avoid him long enough, he will get dizzy and stop spinning. 
That’s when you hit his swollen “belly button.” 
(I think the developers had something else in mind.)




WORLD 4: Detritus Desert

== 4-1 ==============
Difficulty: 2
Recommended character: Aiai
---Just run along the path, and stop whenever a door closes. 
Easy.

== 4-2 ==============
Difficulty: 4
Recommended character: Baby
---Going across rope bridges is easy, but going up the stairs 
isn’t. Be sure to keep moving foreward, 
constantly taking very small jumps. Once you get to the top, 
you can go through the hole in the pyramid
 to get a ton of bananas. (As long as you’re playing Baby)

== 4-3 ==============
Difficulty: 1
Recommended character: Aiai
---Keep running foreward. That’s it.

== 4-4 ==============
Difficulty: 6
Recommended character: Yanyan
---This level will be incredibly difficult at first, but eventually, 
you’ll come back to this level and 
think “Wow, I can’t believe I once had so much trouble with this.” 
All this level really requires is 
practice and perseverance. Just keep trying, and don’t bother 
attacking the moles.

== 4-5 ==============
Difficulty: 2
Recommended character: Aiai
---Go foreward. You can dodge the Goal to grab a banana bunch in 
mid-air, but it’s pretty tough.

== 4-6 ==============
Difficulty: 6
Recommended character: Aiai
---This level introduces swinging platforms. It’s pretty easy to 
stay on them, but it can be pretty tough
jumping between them. No advice here.

== 4-7 ==============
Difficulty: 5
Recommended character: Aiai
---This level is just a series of stairs, with an extra-long staircase 
at the end. There are spikes on 
the last staircase, but they shouldn’t cause you much trouble. Just 
remember, make the shortest jumps 
you can when climbing stairs.

== 4-8 ==============
Difficulty: 2
Recommended character: Aiai
---You can go all the way around the pyramid and up a series of 
steep hills to get to the Goal, or you
can use a bunch of speeder tiles to launch you up. I recommend the 
latter. Just be sure to jump over 
the gap at the top of the pyramid.

== 4-Bonus ==============
---Roll down the stairs at the beginning, then run over to one of 
the speeders on either side of the 
pyramid to launch yourself up and get loads of bananas. Just be 
sure to slow down near the top or else
you’ll go flying off the stage. There are three areas you can do 
this, each on a different side of the pyramid.

== 4-Boss ==============
---Jump over to the second section, run across while avoiding 
the moles, then jump over to the third 
section. A bunch of moles will pop up out of the holes, and 
one will have a flashing red light on its 
head. Hit it, grab the banana bunches, then jump over to 
the fourth section. Jump onto the missiles that
come out of the launchers, then jump over to the fifth 
section. Run between the boxes to get some banana
bunches, then jump over to the sixth section. Jump onto 
the missiles, and make sure all of the missile 
launchers are destroyed, then jump to the seventh section. 
Ram into the button to defeat the boss.




WORLD 5: Pirates Ocean

== 5-1 ==============
Difficulty: 6
Recommended character: Aiai
---You should start out this level by running foreward 
at a medium pace. After you cross the second 
path segment (which requires a bit of speed), be sure 
to slow down so that you can carefully jump up 
the second segment (stairs). Once you get to the circle 
path, take whichever path you choose to reach 
the Goal.

== 5-2 ==============
Difficulty: 5
Recommended character: Aiai
---Be sure to roll from one swing to the other, not jump.

== 5-3 ==============
Difficulty: 5
Recommended character: Aiai
---You should run at the same pace as the waves, and try to 
stay right where the picture below depicts. 
(O is your monkey)
    _____          ______         ______
  /#######\      /#######\ O    /#######\
/###########\__/###########\__/###########\

That way, your monkey is always going downhill, even though 
he’s moving straight foreward.
The second segment is a bit harder though, because the waves 
are going faster than you are. I recommend 
jumping as you’re going along the waves in order to avoid 
ramming into a block.

== 5-4 ==============
Difficulty: 3
Recommended character: Aiai
---Jump across the platforms.

== 5-5 ==============
Difficulty: 4
Recommended character: Gongon
---Jump onto the wheel, and let it carry you to the Goal while 
you smash the spikes.

== 5-6 ==============
Difficulty: 3
Recommended character: Yanyan
---Just run around the rings and across the bridges until you 
get to the Goal. There are a couple of 
rings with banana bunches in the middle, so you can grab those if you want.

== 5-7 ==============
Difficulty: 6
Recommended character: Yanyan
---At the first intersection, you can go right to go the normal 
way, or go left to go the dangerous 
way with a lot of banana bunches. I have no idea 
how you’re supposed to get those bananas though, 
so I strongly recommend going to the right. You should 
wait until the blue blocks are stacked up, 
then start jumping across the gap as the separate. The 
second Blue Block segment is a lot tougher. 
Go across the temporary bridge and wait on the middle 
block. Once all the blocks are together in the 
middle, the game will glitch and you monkey will spaz a 
bit. After that happens, wait a couple of 
seconds and run across the new bridge. Jump at the very 
end, and get onto the other bridge. Then 
get onto safe land, and roll toward the Goal.

== 5-8 ==============
Difficulty: 7
Recommended character: Aiai
---Run up the spiral and avoid the green blobby things. 
You’ll have to get to the other spiral by 
crossing a bridge with a gap (which you need to jump over, 
obvoiusly). There are a few gaps in the 
second spiral which can be tricky to jump over. Once you 
get to the third spiral, simply jump to 
the left when you’re near the top to reach the goal. 
(Sorry if that walkthrough was a bit confusing; I couldn’t 
think of a good way to explain this level.)

== 5-Bonus ==============
---Start by going to the right, then just go along the 
border by jumping onto the blocks. Once you 
get back to the starting point, just do the same thing 
you did before, but do it by jumping on the 
blocks second-closest to the edge, then third-closest, 
and so-on.

== 5-Boss ==============
---This guy is tough. When he first lands on the stage, get 
as close to him as you can and circle 
around him by jumping along his tentacles. Don’t worry, this 
squid doesn’t have any melee attacks. 
Once you get to the back, hit him anywhere in the glowing 
pink area of his head. Repeat. After you 
hit him the second time, he should jump back into the water 
and summon some green blobs. They 
shouldn’t get in your way too much. After a few seconds, 
he’ll jump back onto the stage. As he’s 
jumping, be sure to observe the position of his tentacles and 
move yourself accordingly to make 
sure they don’t hit you when they land. One the squid lands, 
a shockwave of water will flow from 
him. Jump over this wave, then continue from the first step 
until he’s dead.





WORLD 6: Cobalt Caverns

== 6-1 ==============

Difficulty: 3
Recommended character: Aiai
---If you want some bananas, run to the corners of the board 
to get some banana bunches. Once you 
fall into one of the holes (which is very likely), just go 
along the path with speeders until you 
reach the goal.

== 6-2 ==============
Difficulty: 4
Recommended character: Baby
---Approach the end of the bridge at the beginning, and wait 
until the platform lowers down. Get 
onto the platform, then let it carry you up, then jump onto 
the smaller platform. It might be tough 
for you to stay on this platform as it rises. Once you get to 
the top, jump onto the rails and roll 
toward the Goal. Once your instincts instruct you to, jump 
off the rail and into the Goal.

== 6-3 ==============
Difficulty: 9
Recommended character: Aiai
---This floor requires you to jump from tube to tube along a 
moving track. Honestly, I don’t have 
any tips for this one. You’re on your own.

== 6-4 ==============
Difficulty: 6
Recommended character: Yanyan
---Run along the orange/green path at the beginning as fast 
as you can, and jump whenever the wave of 
flippage approaches you. Easy enough. The second part is tricky, 
though. Just stand on the platform a 
little bit higher than the tile batch, and dash across the 
board diagonally with good timing (jumping 
may be required). After that, just jump up to the Goal. Or you 
can skip the goal, grab a banana bunch, 
then come back.

== 6-5 ==============
Difficulty: 8
Recommended character: Aiai
---You might be thinking, “Hey, why is the recommended character 
Aiai? It should be Baby, because there 
are so many rails!” Well, I didn’t chose Baby because at the 
last part, the Goal ring is just barely 
below the rail. Baby likes to sag when he runs along rails, so 
trying to reach the Goal with Baby will 
result in your monkey hitting the ring and being sent careening 
off the screen.

== 6-6 ==============
Difficulty: 6
Recommended character: Yanyan
---After you jump onto a platform, your monkey will bounce from 
the impact. When they hit the ground
 AFTER bouncing, jump toward the next platform. Once you land, 
your monkey will bounce. When they hit
 the ground AFTER bouncing, jump toward the next platform.

== 6-7 ==============
Difficulty: 7
Recommended character: Aiai
---Run along the path as fast as you can. You’ll have EXACTLY 
enough time to reach the Goal. There’s
 a gap near the end, so be wary of that.

== 6-8 ==============
Difficulty: 7
Recommended character: Aiai
---If you’ve beaten floor 5-7, then you should have no problem 
beating this one.

== 6-Bonus ==============
---No tips here, sorry.

== 6-Boss ==============
---Ram into the boss’s pedestal three times to destroy it. 
This makes it easier to hit her microphone. 
After you destroy the pedestal, just keep jumping at her mic 
until she is defeated.





WORLD 7: Volcanic Pools

== 7-1 ==============
Difficulty: 4
Recommended character: Aiai
---Just keep moving foreward for the first part of this level. 
You might want to jump over the ramps 
at the beginning to stay on the safe side. Once you go over all 
of the hills, drop down into the 
skeleton’s mouth, and tilt the remote in the direction the tube 
leads. You’ll need all the speed you 
can get to reach the Goal.

== 7-2 ==============
Difficulty: 6
Recommended character: Baby
---Carefully walk across the group of pyramid tiles, then 
jump onto the rails. Keep going foreward 
until you reach a circle of rails. Carefully jump onto the 
circle, then go around to the other side, 
and down onto another circle. Go around this circle, then 
move foreward. The next circle has a large 
orange ball rolling on it. Make sure it’s not in the way, 
then quickly roll foreward, jump onto the 
platform in the middle of the circle, then jump as far as 
you can to reach the Goal.

== 7-3 ==============
Difficulty: 3
Recommended character: Baby
---Just look for the largest hole in the platform, then use 
it to drop down to the next platform. Then 
look for the largest hole in that one.

== 7-4 ==============
Difficulty: 9
Recommended character: Doctor
---Go down the spiral at the beginning, then go into the 
skeleton’s mouth. The path will, at first, 
be extremely difficullt to stay on. Once you think you’ve 
started moving steadily, tilt your remote 
very far back and move slowly, only focusing on moving 
left and right. This level looks very 
intimidating, but it’s not that bad once you get used to it.

== 7-5 ==============
Difficulty: 8
Recommended character: Yanyan
---Whenever a platform is tilted just enough to allow 
you to roll across it, then do so. You’ll have 
to run across two panels at a time, and then three 
panels at the end. 

== 7-6 ==============
Difficulty: 4
Recommended character: Baby
---Jump onto the two rails in the middle. Once you get to a 
place where two sets of rails intersect 
(if they were on the same plane), jump down onto a yellow 
metal grate. Then jump onto the middle rails 
there, and then go to the next yellow grate. Then roll 
down to the Goal on the middle rails you find there.

== 7-7 ==============
Difficulty: 7
Recommended character: Aiai
---Roll up the spiral and jump toward the goal.

== 7-8 ==============
Difficulty: 7
Recommended character: Aiai
---Run as fast as you can at the beginning and be sure to 
hit the ramps to jump over the triangle 
block dealies. After that, go through the skeleton’s mouth 
and just keep rolling on the path while 
tilting the remote to the right. You’ll soon come across 
two ramps. Be sure not to slow down just 
because there are no speeders here; you need to keep your 
momentum. 

== 7-Bonus ==============
---The first two ramps are easy, but the third, fourth, 
and fifth ones are hard because you have to 
jump between them. I don’t really know how to do this 
successfully, and I have never gotten a perfect 
score on this floor.

== 7-Boss ==============
---Just keep avoiding this girl until her machine thing 
turns grey, then falls apart. Once it does 
so, you need to search through all the rubble to find 
the monkey and simply ram into her to 
damage her. That’s it.





WORLD 8: Space Case

== 8-1 ==============
Difficulty: 9
Recommended character: Meemee
---Dash across the warped path as fast as you can, and 
jump (and re-adjust yourself) whenever you 
stray too far off the path. Meemee is best for completing 
the stage, but if you want to get the 
banana bunches at the top of the jumps, you should use 
Yanyan.

== 8-2 ==============
Difficulty: 4
Recommended character: Aiai
---Just run foreward and jump across the moving gaps. 
That’s pretty much it. If you want, you 
can go along some pathways to grab some bananas on the 
rotating bit. 
If you want to try something really fun, do this: just 
keep running foreward as fast as you can, 
and you’ll get to the finish. You’ll ram right into the 
side of a platform, but you’ll bounce back 
off and land on the rotating thing, then you’ll shoot 
right down the pathway and bounce between 
the barriers of the Goal. Try it, it’s really fun.

== 8-3 ==============
Difficulty: 4
Recommended character: Aiai
---Starting from the first intersection: right, left, 
left, right, right, left, right, left, 
foreward, right, left, left, right, right, left, right, 
right.

== 8-4 ==============
Difficulty: 9
Recommended character: Doctor
---Go straight foreward, hit the two speeders, grab 
the banana, then continue along the path. 
Turn the corner sharply to avoid the next speeder, then 
approach the speeder ramp. Once you 
touch the ramp, immediately pull the remote all the way 
back to prevent your monkey from going 
too far. Jump over the next two speeders, and avoid 
the two in the next two corners. Now 
you’re at a large ramp. Approach the first speeder 
on the ramp slowly, and use the same 
technique as before to avoid going too far. Now avoid 
the next two speeders, walk right by 
the three ones that send you backwards, then run as 
fast as you can and jump* toward the 
platform with the Goal above it. Then jump into the Goal.
*Jump OVER the speeder ramp; it’s so powerful that 
it shoots you right over the Goal.

== 8-5 ==============
Difficulty: 5
Recommended character: Aiai
---Just walk along the path.

== 8-6 ==============
Difficulty: 7
Recommended character: Yanyan
---Go up the first ramp normally, and 
go up the second ramp 
by jumping over the speeder 
(just to be safe). Once you get to the 
spinning blocks, wait 
until the first one is facing 
upward, then jump toward it and jump 
again right after you 
land on it. Then you’ll end up 
on a small path. Gain as much speed as 
you can, and jump 
right over the next two blocks. 
Go up the next two ramps and avoid the 
speeders, then jump 
onto the next block and then 
onto the path. Then go up the ramp and 
to the Goal.

== 8-7 ==============

Difficulty: 9
Recommended character: Yanyan
---Go down the spiral at the beginning, then 
wait at on the path until a good opportunity 
comes to get into the “river of red balls.” 
Just run along the “river” and jump over the 
balls until you reach the end, at which point 
you jump back onto the normal path. Then 
go up the ramp and try to land on the platform 
with the Goal on it.

== 8-8 ==============
Difficulty: 9
Recommended character: ?
---This level is just plain hard. I really don’t
have any tips for it.

== 8-Bonus ==============
---Hit the speeders to launch into the air and get 
 lots of bananas. It’s not very likely 
that you’ll Fall Out in this one.

== 8-1 ==============
---Run straight toward the boss and hide right 
between his legs at the beginning of the 
fight. This is to avoid his spinning attack. Once 
he’s done attacking, run up behind 
him and hit him in his butt. He’ll probably either 
start his spin attack again or try to 
stab you. After you hurt him enough, he’ll jump in 
the air and start a small earthquake; 
be sure to jump as he lands. After that, the fight 
will continue normally, but the edge 
of the stage will be all wavy and large blue sparks 
will be flying everywhere; neither 
of which will really affect you. 






WORLD 9: Sinking Swamp

In order to unlock World 9, you need to beat worlds 1-8 
without using a continue.


== 9-1 ==============
Difficulty: 5
Recommended character: Aiai
---Just run foreward as fast as you can, and jump whenever 
a block gets in your way. Hit the ramp at full speed, and 
just keep going foreward until you reach the Goal.

== 9-2 ==============
Difficulty: 9
Recommended character: Doctor
---Practice, practice, practice. You just need to get used 
to the bumps. 

== 9-3 ==============
Difficulty: 9
Recommended character: Aiai
---Jumping along the platforms should be easy enough, but 
the tricky part is avoiding the blue slime near the end. 
Be sure to jump right in the middle of it, and jump again 
once you hit it to avoid falling off. Then quickly jump to 
the next platform before the slime respawns.

== 9-4 ==============
Difficulty: 7
Recommended character: Meemee
---Keep going foreward as fast as you can. The loop at the 
beginning can take some practice, but it should be smooth 
sailing from there.

== 9-5 =============
Difficulty: 9
Recommended character: Meemee
---The first two turns should be easy, but the third one is 
tricky. Once you get as far as you can, just keep jumping 
and run down the hill. Once you get settled again, slow down 
and take the last turn nice and easy.

== 9-6 ==============
Difficulty: 10
Recommended character: Baby
---This level  caused me to stop playing this game for days. 
The first few parts should be easy, but it's very difficult 
to get down the steep hill near the end, and even harder to 
go up the hill to reach the Goal. I'm not very good at the 
second hill, but here's a tip for the first one: just keep 
jumping as you're going down. It will slow you down a lot.

== 9-7 ==============
Difficulty: 8
Recommended character: Aiai
---The first part shouldn't cause you much trouble, considering 
how hard it is to fall off, but the second part is tricky. Wait 
until the tumbler is about to reverse itself, then jump across 
the first two platforms and stay still on the third. Then gain 
speed by going back and forth, and jump toward the path when 
you're ready.

== 9-8 ==============
Difficulty: 7

---Run up the spiral, and jump once you get to the warped path 
to avoid falling. After that, just go up the hill and dodge the 
speeders to stay on the safe side.

== 9-9 ==============
Difficulty: 9
Recommended character: Baby
---World 9 and 10 are bonus worlds, so they don't have boss 
stages. To compensate for that, this world has an extra stage. 
This one is tricky. Just drop down the towers and into the pathway 
with rails. After that, it's mostly just based on luck and 
persistance.

== 9-Bonus ==============
---Run across the bars.




WORLD 10: Ultra Heaven

Unlock Ultra Heaven by beating World 9 without using a continue.


== 10-1 ==============
Difficulty: 9
Recommended character: Aiai
---There's not much advice I can give here; this is the only 
level of its kind, and no previous experience will help you 
here. Just keep trying, and be sure to land on each platform 
as close to the back as you can.

== 10-2 ==============
Difficulty: 6
Recommended character: Aiai
---Just run across the conveyor belt while jumping over the 
ramps. Easy!

== 10-3 ==============
Difficulty: 10
Recommended character: Yanyan
---Run up the ramp after the first gap and jump toward the 
first batch of square tiles. It's all about luck after that.

== 10-4 ==============
Difficulty: 9
Recommended character: Baby
---Whenever you get too far from the center of the tumbler, 
jump to re-adjust yourself. Jumping solves everything in this 
game! The first blue tumbler is the hardest, but it gets easier 
after that. I also recommend jumping over the speeders halfway 
through the level.

== 10-5 ==============
Difficulty: 10
Recommended character: Aiai
---Just keep trying, I guess.

== 10-6 ==============
Difficulty: 8
Recommended character: Aiai
---Insead of waiting for the bar to come to you, you'll need to 
come to the bar. Just keep running after it while avoiding the 
speeders. Once you get onto the bar, just run to the right. It 
shouldn't be too hard from there.

== 10-7 ==============
Difficulty: 10
Recommended character: Aiai
---You're probably sick of hearing me say this by now, but to 
beat this level, you need to practice. That's all I have to say.

== 10-8 ==============
Difficulty: 9
Recommended character: Aiai
---I'm sorry you have to hear this again, but... you need to 
practice to beat this level.

== 10-9 ==============
Difficulty: 9
Recommended character: Aiai
---Once you get to the tilted bridge thing, be sure to keep your 
speed and DO NOT slow down. It should be easy to get to the top 
of the stage after that, but it requires some skill to slow down 
at the top of the last ramp.

== 10-Bonus ==============
---Wait for the gears to stop moving, then jump down off the 
platform. Position yourself on top of one of the circles, then 
collect bananas as the gear starts spinning again.





Well, that's it. There are your tips for all 100 levels of 
Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz. I'm sorry that most of my tips 
for World 10 were kind of useless... there's really nothing more 
I could say. Those levels are just plain hard.
