Hoppers
Hoppers is the 3rd Advanced stage in Super Monkey Ball 2 and the 23rd Advanced stage in Super Monkey Ball Deluxe. It also appears as the 63rd Ultimate stage with continues and the 83rd without continues.
In Story Mode, it appears as World 2-3 in Super Monkey Ball 2 and as World 2-5 in Super Monkey Ball Deluxe. It is given a 3 out of 10 difficulty rating.
Description
This stage is a short, straight platform with two perpendicular platforms and an ending platform. There are large ellipse-shaped spheres for each horizontal platform. There is a play and a fast-forward switch on the starting platform. When the level is played, the "hoppers" alternate between lifting one side that was down previously and lying flat. In Super Monkey Ball 2, the hoppers are made of a reflective material, while in Banana Mania the hoppers are made of either volcanic rock in Story Mode or grass in Challenge Mode.
Goal Tutorial
The only goal in this level is a blue goal. The blue goal is considered somewhat easy. Dash backward to the end of the starting platform, and hit the play switch. Then, go forward onto the straight platform. Wait for the hopper to hit the floor, and then dash forward. Do the same with the next, and then dart into the goal.
Shortcut
In the Jungle Island variant of this stage, you can dash forward to the goal without stopping. You cannot do this in the Volcanic Magma variant because the distance between the player's starting position and the first hopper is different between the two. In Banana Mania, the reverse is true, and the Volcanic Magma variant can be beaten by simply holding up.
