Monkeyball mini golf ?

I have bought Monkeyball Deluxe on the Xbox , and we have been perfecting the minigolf course A round of 32 yesterday.
However, does anybody know if the courses on Monkeyball 1 and 2 on the Gamecube are different?? I would gladly buy them if I can get more courses out of it (provided the control is still as accurate)/

And on a seperate note.. A new Monkeyball game is due out at the end of June

Ok. it appears that Monkeyball 2 had no mini golf, just full sized golf.
So my new question is.. is the course in Monkeyball 1 the same as Monkeyball deluxe on the Xbox ??

Cheers

What! Monkey Ball Delux has mini-golf! Damn, I thought it was the same as Monkeyball 2.

So how good is the minigolf game? I'm wondering if it's worth getting Monkey Ball Delux on the PS2 or Xbox to sit alongside MonkeyBall 2(one of the finest multiplayer games ever IMO!).

Hi... big delay in seeing this thread got a reply.

I did some research and yes, the Deluxe version had both golf games from Monkeyball 1 and 2 in it.

I have worked my ass of on Monkeyball deluxe to obtain a score of 27 for the round of mini-golf.
Its the first time since Mario Kart on the SNES that I have actually put effort into achieving something against the computer..
(The days of me going for lap records :P )

Funny, I could relate to that comment, but the MarioKart bug caught me again and I just finally completed all of MarioKart DS Theres just something about MarioKart which begs you to unlock everything.

Trust me, don't let that put you off. It's the finest MarioKart ever, by a long shot, if you're a MarioKart fan then you're missing out big time not owning this one!

Can't tell you how much fun it is to play online. I mean it has it's niggles(shame it's 4 not 8 players) but it's damn good fun!

I saw a trailor for it somewhere.. and it looked shocking ...
not too sure why...

Guess I will have to hunt around and find some way of demo-ing it.

If I do.. I shall see you on the starting grid..

Even ordered this T-Shirt

Haha, class

Yeah, definatly see if you can give it a play test, I'm certain if you do you'll end up buying it. Honestly I can't recommend it enough

It'sa big game too, a mix of tracks from all of the previous mariokarts, along with some new ones of course. There are 8 cups in total, to give you some idea of how many tracks.
