Super Monkey Ball's Main Mode is constructed of more than 110 different levels of various difficulty, most of them taken from the arcade game. Players begin their adventure going through these different levels on various settings of difficulty. There are an initial 10 beginner levels, 30 advanced, and 50 expert, as well as extra versions on top of it all. A smattering of multiplayer modes rounds off the package.
