Overview
Description

Marble Madness is a classic isometric platform game where players guide an onscreen marble through a series of increasingly difficult, maze-like race courses. Controlling the marble's movement requires precision and speed to beat the countdown timer before time expires. Throughout the six distinct courses, players encounter various obstacles and enemies designed to knock them off track. Featuring themes ranging from practice levels to polka-dot mazes, the game also includes a two-player competitive mode for head-to-head racing action.

Super Monkey Ball Jr. challenges players to guide a monkey trapped in a ball through twisting labyrinths by tilting the play area. Reach the goal before time runs out while avoiding pitfalls and obstacles. The game offers single‑player Challenge and Practice modes plus party‑style multiplayer for up to four players, letting friends compete on the same screen with the beloved characters Aiai, Meemee, and Gongon.
