Anyone played Monkey Ball with Banana AND ZRAnalog joystick?

Edit: Maybe this should fit in Gameplay thread instead.

Ok, I'm asking this because I'm not 100% satisfied with the gameplay with ZR panel. Maybe I just suck at the game but I really can't manage to finish lvl. 15 on Original course. Can't get enough speed it seems.

Should it be any difference? The only thing I can think of is that the banana is taller but should this affect gameplay?

Also, in servicemode you could turn off/on something like "boost velocity" (I have the game at a friend and don't remember exactly what is was but the word boost and velocity was there) What is that?

I saw a Gamecube video on youtube how to beat the level but he "cheated" when jumping off a platform which is ok but it should be possible to use the "long" way.

Any thoughs about this would be highly appreciated...

Thanks

I sold my monkey ball kit a while ago.

However, I do recall that even using the banana control panel that there as one level that I had a similar problem where no matter how much I pushed the control forward I could not get enough velocity to climb a hill.

I went into sevice mode and did something like adjust sensitivity or calibrate and that straighened things out

Don't have it any more to try but I hope this helps.

I am almost certain that there is some setting in service to bump up the sensitivity of the control of calibrate it.

BTW, I would say this probably goes in techincal

Hope the helps

I'd calibrated the stick but if there's more to do, please let me know anyone...

Thanks

Check the calibration with the manual. If the upper limit is far below spec, you have your culprit.

I think I remember what I did, when you calibrate the joystick up, down, left, right, do not push the joystick to it's full stroke. Maybe try 1/2 to 3/4 of its range. This should increase the sensativity

Ok, thanks. I'll try that.

Ok, I have now played Monkeyball with the original Bananastick.

Conclusion:

Do never ever use the ZR joystick to play MB if you want to play it for long. The difference is soooo huge. The level I was talking about was cleared with three tries.

ZR = Play ZR

Banana = Play MB
