The initial concept — guiding monkeys in plastic balls around precarious, danger-packed stages at high speeds — was quirky enough to garner some attention, but novelty alone quickly wears off. However, that's the position in which Super Monkey Ball 3D finds itself as the franchise attempts to use the new tech packed into the 3DS to revitalize fan interest. Unfortunately for Sega and the monkeys trapped in balls, the only thing this game manages to prove is that the magic may be gone for good".

Now imagine you have to cross various maze-like floors against the clock, which are floating miles high up above the ground. Sounds fun right? Indeed it was, and it was here that the now very well established arcade platform series of Super Monkey Ball was born."
