==Modes==
===Main Game===
The objective of this game is to tilt the screen to roll the ball across a series of platforms to the goal. Collecting ten bananas will give you an extra life. Collecting all bananas in a level (10 in regular levels, 40 in bonus stages) and clearing the level without losing a life will give you a crown, with a special crown level being unlocked if you get all ten crowns in a level set. Getting a crown in all crown stages will unlock this game's Master difficulty, known as the "ultimate challenge." Falling out or letting the timer reach zero results in a life lost, except in bonus stages. Gameplay is most similar to Super Monkey Ball: Step & Roll, where the player uses motion controls to navigate levels, and cannot jump. However, monkeys are generally more floaty in this game than in other Super Monkey Ball games.
====Worlds====
There are six worlds total, each with two sets of 10 levels for 20 levels total (excluding Far East, which only has ten levels). Far East is a separate world from the others, put in to show off the "Sakura Edition" of the game, and it won't affect your crowns or progress.
Most of the worlds are based off of worlds from Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz, along with music from that game, although boss battles are omitted.
#Jumble Jungle
#Pirates Ocean
#Sinking Swamp

==Trivia==
*Oddly, the Pirates Ocean world uses the music from Monkey Island.
*The Monkey Island and Ultra Heaven themes appear to have been (somewhat poorly) edited to loop differently in this game than they do in Banana Blitz. Additionally, the Far East theme has been noticeably shortened, likely due to the original song being very long to allow for each stage in Step & Roll to play a different segment of the song on loop.
* The highest score that can be obtained in this game is 999,999, as the score counter will cap at this point. This score can be obtained in quick play, though no record of the score is kept.
