"I fear not the man who played 100 Monkey Ball courses, but the man who failed 1 Monkey Ball course 100 times." -Bruce Lee

I love that this is tagged fallout

The falling droplets in the background of Cobalt Caverns aren't water drops; they're all the other attempts.

You know that Vinny's sanity is broken when he cycles through several voices

“Next 5 tries” 8 minutes left in the video Uh-oh

vinny's the most alive when he's dying

Vinny sounds like he's strangling himself whenever he gets enraged.

Let’s talk about dedication

See Vinny suffer as he is making the funny voice

22:50 Vinny becomes so angry that he ruptures his air bladder and deflates

Baby games are over, it's chimp and balls torture time

I still can’t believe SEGA thought those thin-ass pathways were a better alternative than rails...

I have a theory for what went wrong here: 1) The game originally used motion controls; given the limitations of motion controls the game was a *lot* less sensitive. 2) Taking out the motion controls made the game feel sluggish and unresponsive. 3) "I know," said a programmer, "let's adjust the sensitivity - it looks like they tacked on a variable for reducing it, so let's just take that out." 4) The game is now nightmarishly twitchy and causes motion sickness. This also looks might be why the camera sensitivity slider does nothing. 5) Meanwhile, in another branch of development, the on-rails sections (like the chicane section that makes up at least half this video) designed to work with the motion controls was replaced with a flat chicane that was still easy to navigate with the 'soft' controls. 6) SEGA, ever in a hurry, mashed the two branches together with minimal playtesting (if any) and shipped it before anyone had a chance to fix the horrible mistakes that were made in 1-5.

It's quite telling when a single level almost doubled Vinny's death count versus the rest of the game

I like that Vinny straight-up called the Terry direct not announcing a 5th character and being Sakurai geeking over SNK history.

"You're watching a human being deconstruct before your very eyes"

I love vinny's gradual decline of enjoyment throughout this video, mental Edit: Holy shit I just watched the rest of it, it just turns into utter despair and hopelessness

"I felt like Alucard getting his weapons taken away from him." Damn, that analogy.

The "I don't know what's going on anymore! I've fookin' lost my mind! MAI MARBLES!" line at 30:28 is SO much better with context.

Italian-American man has a mental episode whilst playing a game about a primate confined to a ball in space.

The Wii level at the end being so easy really was the cherry on top

30:24 The moment Vinny quite literally lost his mind

30:20 is one of the most painful things I've ever seen in any entertainment medium.

I love Vinny's hysteria when he sees the original version of the level he just spent god knows how long on

When AiAi said “y8 y8” I felt that

21:15 Whereas Joel has a skeleton inside him Vinny has a meat inside him, you can hear it trying to get out.

This is like watching a gambling addiction, down to even "method to the madness"

I've recently learnt that in the Wii version, you could control the camera with the Nunchuck's analog stick.

*to quote a great man:* "if it's not fun, why bother?" take notes, sega

My boyfriend tried to watch these streams with me but stopped due to feeling bad for Vinny.

Vinny's accent is more obvious in his earlier videos. Listen to the one where he talks about his hatred of geese. It's on full display.

And after the stage 5 of Cobalt Caverns, no one ever saw him again... The end.

My 3 favorite Vinny noises from this video: 4:58 "CUCK!" 21:15 Dog noises? 25:50 Low growl, "yæ, yæ"

Vinny's reasoning at 6:25 for liking the series and wanting it to be good is the same thing that Sonic fans get constantly mocked for, right down to the reasonable complaint that SEGA has a bad history with ports, usually in one of two categories: A bad port of a good game, or porting an entry in a series that sold well but no one in the core audience liked.

25:41 "Chimp and ball torture" 🤣

Spoiler Alert Total Deaths in the Game: 171 Deaths Inside: 1

What if you wanted to have a good time but monkey ball announcer man said: "fall out!"

30:15 onwards is just pure gold. Had me in tears of laughter

To be fair. The remake is way harder than the original due to them replacing very easy rails with narrow platforms

whys the monkey say Yee Yee every 3 seconds

Vinny pulling up the old Level from the wii version is like when I was using a walkthrough for Ocarina of time and the guide told me I had to find the gold spiders and get the bigger wallet to buy the fish to advance and after doing that realized I could just use the bottle in the water to catch a fish and didn't need to spend hours finding all of those spiders.

16:13 "Stimpy, I feel SICK!" Lmao!

"Remember Monkey Ball fans, if you want a remaster of the first two or a new game in the style of 1 & 2 (a.k.a a good Monkey Ball game). Well you need to buy this game (the game that no one wanted and is universally hated by the fanbase), other wise no more Monkey Ball games, fuck you." -SEGA

4:57 the power in his voice.

The most painful part of this video isn't the gameplay, it's the lack of props given to Hideki Naganuma for blessing this soundtrack.

The only way i know this wasn't edited by vinny is just hearing that undertale sfx at the start. That's the easiest smoking gun.

30:25 I’ve never seen Vinny so mentally broken

22:52 that is the most insane laugh I've ever heard

Wait this can't just be 30 mins of death the streams were only like an hour long Edit: it pretty much is holy shit

What makes 20:50 onward hilarious is that Alpharad cheesed it and then said "That felt like a way too easy mission." And I IMMEDIATELY could hear Vinny scream in the distance.

16:29 Aiai says "What the FUCK"

30:25 You can hear Vinny's soul leaving his body.

That long mechanical boss was some of the most pained I remember Vinny being on stream.

30:24 is the point of no return Vinny completely loses it.

18:58 that's the kind of sound my dog makes.

30:22 That little tucker-esque "oh no" before all hell breaks loose is the best part to me

Haven't seen this Fallout 76 DLC before. They really went in a different direction with this one, huh?

Alternate title: Vinny falls victim to the definition of insanity.

I don't believe anyone at SEGA actually played and finished this level before the game was released.

30:21 Vinny's mind goes fully insane till the video ends

32:42 after everything up until now, that was not the reaction i was expecting which made me even more depressed

Whenever Vinny starts to say everything with long a's, you know he's lost his mind.

“Do you know the definition of insanity?”

...Did he throw up near the end from getting so upset?

I envy everyone who can watch this without getting motion sick

oh boy i can't wait for the torrent of cursed 2humst x vinny fanart

that cobalt caverns level is to vinny what the nuclear waste mission of simpsons hit and run was to jerma

11:49 Lmao at that Gongon impression

"This went from no challenge at all to OmegaChrist"

This was my first monkey ball game i bought it for the Wii at toysrus for about 20$ only to find my local game store had it for 15. one of the few games I had at the time though.I really liked it but I remember I could never beat the final world and that it was practically broken. But I have a lot of memories playing the mini games mainly the ball and chain one,monkey glide and the Mario kart clone,and fps one but trying the frsit one I realized the physics were way better but I ended up missing the jump lol

The documentation of a man slowly going insane and making enraged noises

Seeing how much Binyot is dying makes me believe the fan theory that this game wasn't put through QA Testing and was made in 3 months flat

My god this video is extremely unsatisfying I'm not even playing and yet I can feel the awkwardness of the controls

33:42 The anger in Vinny's voice matches up with how unnecessarily difficult that level was But Sonic's playable, doesn't mean anything though just giving this game at least one upside

Happy 35th Birthday, Barnyard! Here’s to more years of japes and joy!

I still notice that Vinny says "forward" like "foe-ward" but I don't know if that's a Staten Islander thing.

You know, this kind of the time Joel played the ghostbusters game. Both him and Vinny got super salty when they realized that they wasted money on a terrible Switch port. Edit: he got it for free, never mind.

33:39 The moment Vinny gave this playthrough up (for good reason)

I don’t think I can even explain the amount of disgust I felt seeing the original version of that level after witnessing vinnys experience

more than a half hour of vinny noises, what could be better than this?

About 19 minutes in you can hear his will to live leave his body

22:18 Fallout 76

The Super monkey ball streams from 2017 were the first streams I watched of vinny’s.

Love how you decided Captain Weeks as your editor, since he/she made your Super Monkey Ball 2 death reel!

These monkey ball levels seem to be more catered to looking better without thinking about gameplay

"The true definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results." -Albert Einstein.

been a while since we had an offical death reel from vine and not a vine fan channel, still its good to see vinny rage out and go mental for our amusement in fact vinny this is what its like for none gamers that are in lock down,

This is not a talk about dedication. This is just Vinny suffering. I haven't seen him this fucking upset since DMC2.

I like how that one dude said chimp and ball torture

30:23 - click here for real pain

i was hoping for another several-hour long video of monkey ball deaths/cheeses but this will do

The original version of Banana Blitz was my first Monkey Ball game.

AiAi sounds exactly like Kirby, change my mind

“THIS IS MY JOURNEY TO BECOMING THE HULK”

you know vinny's in absolute horrid pain and rage when he says "it's really cool!!"

Breaking vinny down into chemical compounds, the video

Watching the entire video is worth it just because of 33:37

31:02 The second time Vinny mentions dedication in a game about balls.

Do you know the definition of insanity?

Glad to see the Monkey Ball series is finally getting the treatment Sonic deserves.
