How to play Super Monkey Ball on Mac
Game summary
Super Monkey Ball was a game released for the iPhone and iPod Touch. It was designed by SEGA and published by Other Ocean in 2008. The object of the game, like others in the Super Monkey Ball series, is to get AiAi, MeeMee, Baby or GonGon to the goal.
The graphics are similar to both Super Monkey Ball: Touch and Roll and Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz: the monkeys' sprites are reused from Touch and Roll and the level design and appearance are reused from Banana Blitz, although unlike Banana Blitz, you cannot jump.
There are five continues of six lives, totaling 30 lives altogether.
There are five worlds, and each world has two sets of ten stages.
If you collect all the Bananas on a stage without falling off, you will earn a crown. Earning a crown on every stage in a set unlocks an Extra Stage.
First released: Dec 2008
Play Super Monkey Ball on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Super Monkey Ball on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.
Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.
Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
Super Monkey Ball installation steps for Mac
Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install Super Monkey Ball like you would on any PC.
