Bead Screen
Bead Screen is the 5th Beginner Extra stage in Super Monkey Ball 2 (10th in Super Monkey Ball Deluxe) and the 50th Ultimate stage without continues.
In Story Mode, it appears as World 5-5 in Super Monkey Ball 2 and as World 5-7 in Super Monkey Ball Deluxe. It is given a 3 out of 10 difficulty rating.
Description
This stage has two platforms, along with short and wide, bead-like platforms. Rewind, reverse, play, fast-forward, and pause switches are on the first platform, and the second platform, on the other side of the bead-like platforms, has the goal. When played, the bead-like platforms will rotate wildly for several seconds and then form a straight path for a few seconds, with speed and direction depending on which switch is activated. Pressing the pause switch makes the bead-like platforms stop.
Goal Tutorial
The Blue Goal is considered rather easy to reach. Go onto the first platform. Wait for the bead-like platforms to form a straight path, and then immediately hit the pause switch. Go along the bead-like platforms, and roll into the goal.
Trivia
- It is possible to be launched outside of the skybox by one of the spinning platforms.
- This is the first instance where every type of switch appears in a stage.
- This level can be beaten without using the pause switch if you are fast enough.
