Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD

Got it first try. I went into world 10 with 50 lives and finished the game with 50 lives lol. Seriously... practice practice practice. That 10-5 took me 200+ lives to beat first time. I kept playing that same level over and over until I beat it 3 times within 10 lives. When I beat it twice in a row, I knew I was ready for the champion medal and expert run. I lost 8 lives on it when I did my run. I lost more lives in world 9 than 10. I was shocked I beat it so easily too.

Got it second try with 40 lives left. The day before that I didnt even manage to get to World 10. Practice is the Key here. Never thought I would complete this Game.

Here’s a video of me doing it on my first ever attempt. Nothing really interesting really happens until about world 7 since every world before that is just slowly stockpiling lives. From there I have some techniques I’ve worked out with baby while doing the champion medals that worked well for me. Everything was pretty straightforward except for 10-5 so with some luck it should be easy enough.

Wow that was brutal, but more from the amount of training on each level than the actual run through. Here are some overall tips:

- I used MeeMee as she was more stable. I personally found Baby and YanYan too bouncy, even though they have the higher jump.
- I died about 11 times total, 4 times on 10-5 (I got lucky).
- I took my time in every world as there is no time limit in Time Attack (ironically).
- I had 80 lives going into World 10. I grabbed as many easy to medium reaching bananas as I could in earlier worlds, to include the hidden bananas. Recommend searching around for hidden bananas (i.e. on top of bones, rocks, barrels) in practice mode first.
- Starting in World 6, I practiced every level until I could consistently beat it 4 out of 5 times in a row. The exceptions to this were 10-3 and 10-5. Do not underestimate World 7, that can mess you up more than Worlds 8 or 9 if you're not careful. Really practice on the bosses too. I used this guy's video, although I had to amend it slightly since his is a speed runner. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4za4t-ag5Ng
- For 10-3 at the end, right as you are landing on the blocks, try to land flat and then immediately jump forward. Way higher chance of a more controlled jump as opposed to bouncing off at an angle.
- For 10-5, uggg, practice, practice and you need some luck for sure. Getting here with enough lives should ensure your success. At the part where there are 4 yellow squares with the 1 red in the middle, what helped a little was trying to land in the middle of an individual yellow block and landing flat as in 10-3, followed by immediate jump forward. This decreased the chance of an angled bounce. Even still it is very hard with the collision detection issues on those blocks. And TAKE YOUR TIME if you do stick the landing on the red side. That BS collision detection can throw you out even when you're just rolling in between the red blocks. Then I personally made sure I was 100% straight before hitting the final string of boosts to the goal. In training, I beat the level 3 out of 5 times at one point. Then I died 35 times in a row before beating it again. Just inconsistent. I used this guy's video too. While you can't be Sonic in Time Attack his overall strategy still applied, even with MeeMee.

- Not applicable to everyone, but I have both a Xbox One Series X and an older Xbox One S. If I died more than 5 times on a level, I was going to practice the level I was stuck on using another profile to not count against lives. In the end, I did not need to use it, although I certainly planned to on 10-5.
- After World 6, I paused and took a 5 to 10 min break between each world.
- With enough practice, you will get the achievement too. Hope this helped.
