Super Monkey Ball: Sakura Edition

Super Monkey Ball: Sakura Edition is a 3D arcade game where you control a cute little monkey trapped inside a transparent bubble ball. Your goal is to make it safely to the finish line at the end of each level, a rather daunting task considering the zany layout you'll find in each of the game's scenarios.

That said, control systems in Super Monkey Ball: Sakura Edition are surprisingly intuitive and work even better than in the classic GameCube version. Plus, now you can use your smartphone's Android accelerometer to tilt left and right in order to move your ball from one side to another.

In Super Monkey Ball: Sakura Edition, choose one of the four classic characters popularized in this saga: AiAi, MeeMee, Baby and GonGon. With six different worlds to select from you'll find that there's over a hundred different levels to beat. Plus if that alone still isn't enough for you, note that this game comes with an additional practice mode and four extra mini-games inside.

Super Monkey Ball: Sakura Edition is a super fun game. As the first of SEGA's attempts to revamp a modern-classic (newer than the usual 'SEGA Forever' line), we'd say this one's a total success. This game is not just fun, it's also very well-adapted to smartphones and has outstanding visuals to boot.
