Super Monkey Ball: Step & Roll is a party game for Wii in the Super Monkey Ball series, developed and published by Sega.
Gameplay[]
Super Monkey Ball: Step & Roll takes the regular Super Monkey Ball gameplay and adds the use of the Wii Balance Board, allowing players to control AiAi, MeeMee, Baby and GonGon as if they are controlling which way they move.
The game also supports the use of the Wii remote, allowing those without a Wii Balance Board to play too. Using the Wii Remote will add additional obstacles onto the courses due to the more precise control system.
New to the series, and unique to Step & Roll is a 'co-op' mode in which Player 1 controls the character, and Player 2 acts as a reticle, shooting obstacles away to help the monkey progress. There are gun upgrades for player 2 that must be collected by Player 1, and certain obstacles require different tactics to defeat such as shooting a specific face, or only opening their weak point up when Player 1 is not directly facing them.
As well as the main game, there are 21 mini games to play:
- Balloon Race
- Battle Pinball
- Firefighter
- Fruit Basket
- Hovercraft Battle
- Hovercraft Race
- Hurdle Race
- Jump Rope
- Ladder Climbing

- Monkey Snowboard

- Ninja Stomp
- Red Light, Green Light
- Seesaw Ball

Trivia[]
- Despite Doctor and YanYan having been introduced in the prior game Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz, they were not included as playable characters in this game.
- Likewise despite this being the debut game of Jam he is not a playable character and merely acts as a tutorial guide.
- There is a unique credits minigame in which the letters of the people behind the game are placed onto balls. Players can guide the balls into holes for a high score.
- This is one of only three Sega created titles that use the Wii Balance Board. The others are Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games and Daisy Fuentes Pilates, the latter of which was a fitness program.
