2) How do I access the mini-games?
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Super Monkey Ball's mini-games are exclusive to the GameCube version of the game. 
You can acess them from the main menu, which has the Main Game and Multiplayer Game 
on it also.

You can play with bots or humans-your pick. However, no more then four players(a 
combination of bots and humans) are allowed to play at one time.

3) How do I unlock mini-games?
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

When you first boot up the game, the mini-games are one option that won't be open to 
you. First, you'll have to play through the main game and accomplish various tasks.

In Arcade Mode, you'll need to earn Play Points by completing each puzzle. The 
Advanced mode gives you the most points, so I recommend going for that first. To 
unlock one mini-game, you'll need to have about 2,370-2,460 play points. Then, just 
go and cash them in for the mini-games you want.

Monkey Billiards
-------------------

Need-to-know Controls:

Analog Stick-Move player.

B Button-Turbo Hit.

Y Button-Change camera angle

This is somewhat like pool, but from an odd, odd angle. The balls are the monkeys, 
and the monkeys are the pool sticks, so basically you can make or break yourself. 
You have to knock the other monkeys into the holes around the pool table to 
eventually win. Physics will also come into play here, so you'll have to hit your 
shot just right.


Monkey Bowling
----------------

Need-to-know Controls:

Analog Stick-Move monkey ball

A Button-Show monkey ball's path

R Button-Right spin

L Button-Left spin


My favorite mini-game! The computer will set up various pin formations through ten 
frames, and you'll use your mnokey to knock them down! The right and left spin 
controls are very responsive for me, so rely on them as much as you can! Try to bowl 
strikes for the best score, but spares are nice too(Yeah, right).



Monkey Golf
--------------

Need-to-know Controls:

Analog Stick-Direct ball

A Button-Hit ball

Y Button-See Score

X Button-See course layout

"Sure son, when monkey's fly...."

The thing that's the coolest about this game is that you get to see monkey balls fly 
through the air. It will take some patience to master, but it's as easy and fun as 
Mario Golf when you learn it. You can challenge other players through stroke or 
match games-your choice. There's also 18 rounds, just like a regular golf match.
