message: According to an interview in UK games mag, ONM, there are 'over 100' minigames, which is a lot better than 'an unkown amount'--The last sheikah 09:51, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Unkown number of minigames? 

message: The trivia claims it is unknown why he has the visor, however in the recent issue of the UK magazine NGamer there's an article about this game. In this article the official art for the game depict Baby with a visor, so I guess it's just a new character design.

Confirmed; added link to Trivia. Two new characters will appear. Knuckles sonic8 02:34, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: New Character?

message: Also...somehow this article missed out the mention of 2 popular (though yet to be announced) Sega Mascots whom were in the Playable Demo in Leipzig.  I've added a link to the article, but I don't know how to add references (as in the little box with a number on it), so if someone could tidy that up it'd be great.
Actually, they have been confirmed. Their names are "Doctor" and "YanYan". Unless I'm mistaken, those are the two being referred to in the article, so I removed it. Knuckles sonic8 02:11, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, okay. Sorry about that. If this is true, it'll be interesting to see, that's for sure!! :D Anyway, I'll look into the Simon Says thing and add it for you. Thanks for clearing that up. :P Knuckles sonic8 00:37, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: 2 Sega Mascots

message: Look at the screen for "Flag Panic" and see the screengrab for the video for Simon Says, both on IGN. Are they the same mini-game except with a different name (as was the case with the previously-referred to "Monkey Baseball)? :S Knuckles sonic8 01:12, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it refers to the "black-smithery game" comment made at the bottom of the mini-game list, that sources it back to a trailer from Tokyo Game Show. Tentatively, should we refer to it as this - Black Smith or something along those lines? Knuckles sonic8 00:23, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: New Mini-game: Simon Says

message: I think maybe to enhance the quality of the mini-games section, we should put them into a chart. Sub-headings would be: Mini-Game, Descriptor, Official/Tentative Name, Source, Gameplay, Nunchuk Peripheral Required (Check or X). Thoughts? Knuckles sonic8 00:28, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

message: The Wii will not be using DVD-ROM as its optical media, but what is it called? I would change it, but I'm not sure what the general consensus is for the medium for Wii games. Would it be "Wii Optical Disc"? --JoeTrumpet 20:55, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Would add to article but names are still unknown. Were these ever made reference to anywhere else? We could make speculatory names/tentative titles for now. What would we call each one, temporarily? Knuckles sonic8 20:48, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: More Unnamed Mini-Games...

message: Take a look at these two topics: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=932708&topic=30660117&page=2, http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=932708&topic=31795628.
They both list all the 50 minigames found in the game. We should see which ones we have in the article and which ones have yet to be added. Knuckles sonic8 21:21, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Mini-Games Uncovered

message: "There are more mini-games on Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz than all the other games before it combined." More than in all other video games ever combined?? I don't think so.
Think about it? Monkey Ball had 6; Monkey Ball had 12; Monkey Ball Deluxe had 12; Super Monkey Ball Adventure had 6 as well; Junior had 5; Touch and Roll had 6 -> all totals 47 in comparison to this, which has 50 in one. Not too hard to understand. Even if you exclude the party games that were repeated, there are even more. Knuckles sonic8 21:06, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Well he was stated to be unlockable on GameFAQS and the user that "claimed" this said he/she was going to provide a video but as it stands, it's quite possible that it could not be true but it could be true also so it's hard to say... as a matter of fact, I'm gonna go check now and see if there's anything new on this.

message: Well, I finally have the game but no Wii still. :(
Anyway, I may do some manual scans and other odd ends to improve the article and I shall keep everyone posted here I guess. Knuckles sonic8 20:02, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Spoiler Warning

message: I am going to remove the citation tag on the following line.
"Players are able to save a total of 30 replays of any of the stages played throughout Story and Practice Mode on their Wii, according to the official manual."
In the manual it reads the following:
"Save Replay (Main Game Only) Allows you to save the gameplay of the stage you just completed. This can be accessed after you go through the Goal Gate, fall out, or run out of time. You can save up to 30 replays. Note: A caustion message will be displayed if you do not have enough memory space remaining."
I can scan the page if someone wants to be that much of a stickler but for not I am removing the citation tag. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Azslande (talk • contribs) 01:25, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

message: The boss section needs a big work-over. Wikipedia is not a strategy guide and this section definatly reads like a strategy guide. An alternative would be to delete the whole section. Your choice. Cream147 18:56, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
