Super Monkey Ball/Beginner floors

Beginner
There are 10 floors in Beginner. You can also unlock 3 "Extra" floors by completing all 10 floors without losing a life.

Floor 1
Simply break the goal tape under the blue goal to finish the floor.
 * Time: 60 sec.

Floor 2
Watch for the diamond-shaped hole in the middle.
 * Time: 60 sec.


 * Green Warp: At the start, turn around and go up the small ramp behind you. You'll fall, but, if you able to land safely on the platform below, you'll be right in front of a green goal that'll warp you to Floor 5.

Floor 3
Simply go around the track in either direction, and you'll eventually finish. The lower route is more dangerous, but offers more bananas.
 * Time: 60 sec.

Floor 4
You'll have to safely cross the moving bridge to clear. One thing to keep in mind is that this bridge--like all moving platforms in the game-- DOES NOT move you; you have to move with it.
 * Time: 60 sec.

Floor 5 (Bonus Floor)
Try to collect all 50 bananas in 60 seconds. Regardless of whether or not you finish, you'll move on to the next floor with any and all bananas that you've collected.
 * Time: 60 sec.

Floor 6
You'll have to go down all 3 ramps to clear this floor. If you feel as though you're going too fast, make sure to pull back on the control stick to slow down a bit.
 * Time: 60 sec.

Floor 7
This time, you'll have to go UP 3 ramps to clear. Keep the control stick pushed up so that you have the power needed to do so. However, try not to overdo it! It IS possible to fall over the sides of the ramps.
 * Time: 60 sec.

Floor 8
The middle square will continuously split up into 25 moving platforms that come apart and then come back together into the original big square.
 * Time: 60 sec.

There are multiple ways to complete this floor, but, the easiest way is to move with the platform that approaches your corner at the start, then move with it as it becomes part of the big square. When it does, quickly move to the opposite corner of the square before it breaks apart again.

When the platform reaches the goal, go through it.

Floor 9
Cross the bridge as normal until you reach the slope. You'll have to go down the slope at a fast enough speed so that when you hit the platform at the bottom of the slope, you'll bounce across the gap and be able to cross the goal.
 * Time: 60 sec.

However, don't go too fast! It's possible to hit the wall and ricochet right off the stage.

Floor 10
This final floor will require all the skills you've learned so far.
 * Time: 60 sec.

Go quickly across the first bridge. Make a quick U-turn, and move across the second bridge while being careful not to fall. Once you finish that, go across either of the 2 small bridges you see, then, face the uphill bridge.

Remember, like the hills in Beginner 7, you need to attack the bridge fast enough so that you have the power to go up it. Remember to balance yourself to prevent from falling off. Once you make to the top, you'll face 1 last obstacle: a narrow S-curve. By now, the clock has become a factor, so you can't afford to go TOO slow across it, but don't go too fast, either, or you'll fall and you'll have to do everything over. If you can beat this floor, you'll definitely be ready for almost anything that comes your way in Advanced mode. Good luck.

Advanced
30 floors plus 5 extra.

Floor 18
This floor has 3 goals. The goals race away from you and you must try to catch-up with them. At the start if you turn right and fall off the track you should land further down. Now the goals will be traveling toward you making it easier to get the red goal.
 * Time: 60 sec.
 * Red goal: Floor 25
