Forget the King of All Cosmos; Aiai was doing the ball-rolling gameplay back when arcades were still popular. Trapped inside a monkey ball (the virtual equivalent of a hamster ball), Aiai had to navigate tricky pathways crawling with traps, or else he would fall to his doom. And as you would expect from a game about monkeys, Aiai loves bananas.

After his first brush with death, Aiai soon had to defend his home from a ruthless villain by the name of Dr. Bad-Boon, a mad scientist out to steal the world's supply of bananas. Aiai and friends chased this ape all over the world and eluded his traps, thus saving the bananas for all the monkeys to enjoy.

Super Monkey Ball has a relatively cult following, probably for the reason that most would take a look and brush it off as a kiddy game. But those who decide to play the game for themselves will see that some of the puzzles are outright clever, and it has several excellent multiplayer games to boot.
